    king cobra project for sale in maine

    Well, I'm still waaaay too far away to actually buy this, but I think about it every time I see a posting. I do have a question, just out of curiosity: The white interiors could have various different dash/carpet colors. Is yours black, red, chamois (tan), or aqua? Luxury interior group or...

    I needa rough HP estimate.

    Hmmm. Similar setup to the one I've built, except that I'm using AFR 185 heads with the 2.02 valves, same CR with forged flat tops and 62cc (IIRC) chambers. My big problem initially is the stock II exhaust manifolds I'll be using until I can figure out custom headers to fit in there with the...

    Digital msd ignition box

    I'm running the MSD 6-AL also, and I run it in conjunction with the Duraspark, not as a replacement. It provides better spark; the owner of a local speed shop told me he calls them "spark plug cleaners." This unit should be the same, and can be wired with the Duraspark, which is a very...

    Oregon DEQ and Headers

    I've had 3 vehicles with Long Tubes go through DEQ. The only thing that they nail me for is the noise. On my Bronco, I have to unbolt the headers and put baffles in place to quiet things down. Even then, I barely pass, and sometimes don't if they have me in the stall closest to the wall. As...

    t-5 conversion help?..........please?

    The shorty headers have been tried, and reportedly do not work.

    Portland Swap Meet

    Honestly I think eBay has ruined the swap meet. You used to be able to find good stuff for decent prices. Anymore it seems like people bring the crap they weren't able to unload for big bucks, so the selection sucks and is way overpriced. Everyone believes that rusty, banged up thing they...

    Powder Coating recommendations in Portland

    I'm installing the rebuilt 351W in my '78 Mustang, and have a handful of parts I'd like to get powder coated. I found a bunch of listings, just thought I'd ask around for any experiences/recommendations anyone might have. Thanks.

    t-5 conversion help?..........please?

    I'm installing a T-5 with the Fox bell. I hope to actually get it in position in the car tomorrow. I'm putting the stock manifolds on for now, and will have custom headers made to fit once I get everything running. I tried bolting the manifolds up to the motor last night, and found that I'm...

    chrome strips

    Ya know, I've had several people get almost angry at their insistence that the coupe and fastback windows are different. They "guarantee" that they've measured them, and that there is some slight change. All I know is that in 1991 some a@@hole smashed the passenger window out of my '77 Cobra...

    Man, Vegas, you work FAST! Motivated man... Close, he's in SLC, Utah.

    Bolt on Cowl Induction scoop

    That SC-124 is the exact scoop used by the gentleman with the white/gold stripe car, so you did good detective work! I'm doing the exact same thing with my KC. If my memory serves, the scoop on the white/gold car was shortened 7".

    Aluminium Dash inserts

    Brushed aluminum vinyl? So, fake, then? I would be interested in door panel trim that was actually made out of aluminum... And yes, I know the door panel would have to be re-done to install those, but it would be worth it to me.

    stock 8" and rear end gears?

    The Stumpy's bolt-in and weld-in are the same, one just comes with bolts. I bought the bolt-ins so that I can install them, then drive the car somewhere to have them welded into place professionally. I hope to be installing them (along with the lift bars) next month, after I get the rebuilt...

    Mustang II V8 Motor mounts FS

    How much are the kits? I recently had a set rebuilt at a local shop. Cost me a fortune, but they're beautiful...

    does it exist

    I've looked for a long time too. It doesn't appear that anyone makes them. Not much market for 4 lug stuff, everyone upgrades to 5 lug. I did look into having the 5 lug rotors welded and machined to 4 lugs. A local shop told me they could do it, the cost was more than the rotors themselves...

    IIs on the local area CL

    That green II just sold on eBay a day or two ago. I saw that one up for sale last year in Hillsboro, but he was asking $4k then. The final sale price was $2800 and the buyer was some company that seems to buy Mustangs of all years frequently. I went to the Bellevue Roundup last year, and...

    Hats off to the Founding Old Fogies

    Oh yeah, that show! I go to that one every year, but it's been held at the Vancouver Mall the last few years. Don't think I ever went when it was at the college. I'll be sure to catch the Hillsboro one this year. His name is also Dan, just a different Dan. He went by DanTheManMain, or...

    Hats off to the Founding Old Fogies

    That would have been 1998. I remember it well! It was shortly after that meet that my '77 got parked and hasn't run since. I sure miss driving it, rotten luck that something else always needs work before that one. I've been meaning to ask you, and especially since you have an '05 GT, what's...

    Hats off to the Founding Old Fogies

    Ted is still on the List. He lived in CA back when, and has since moved to FL. He painted his KC a teal blue color, and left the air dam, spoiler, spats and scoop black. Has a t-top. He hosted a CA get-together with a bunch of people. He speaks his mind, which offended a few people...
