    Anyone planning on dropping the new 5.0 into a classic?

    I would consider it. I haven't seen the dimesions yet but it is lighter than the 4.6 DOHC. Since it will be a mass produced engine the cost shouldn't be too high. This isn't the 5.0 cammer that Ford has been selling for $15k. Won't be too long before they'll start showing up in junkyards.

    Do you have Flo Fits? 2 Questions

    I didn't use the extenders. I moved the whole seat risers back in addition to lowering them. I think the extenders were made out of flat stock with some holes drilled in them, no welding necessary. In effect you bolt the flat stock to the old seat mounting holes in the riser and bolt the...

    Do you have Flo Fits? 2 Questions

    I have them in my 65 and love them. However, they do sit higher. They do not slide back any further than stock. I didn't fit in the car once I installed them (I'm 6'4"). I lowered the seat pans by about 1.5-2" and moved them back about 2". Others have made extenders to mount the seats further...

    Weber Carbs?

    I have a set of 48IDA Webers on a 347 in my fastback. The IDF carbs are supposed to be more "streetable". I have no experience with the IDF carbs. Properly set up the IDA carbs are completely streetable. However, as rbohm said, tuning is difficult to say the least. I spent a considerable...

    If im doing 55, what will my speedo read approximately??

    Assuming your speedometer was accurate with the 3.00s it will now read 65 when you are going 55. 3.55/3.0*55= 65 That is until you change to the 20 tooth gear. Then use the calcuators in the above links to confirm.

    1968 DOHC 4.6 Coupe Project

    I really like how the flares look. I'm going to have to find an old fender and practise your flaring method. I'm pretty sure if I try that on a car I will warp the fenders beyond use. I've hardly touched my 67/4.6DOHC project all year. I'm honestly about ready to switch to a 347 just so I can...

    1969 Mustang export brace follow up questions

    That doesn't make sense to me. The inner aprons and shock towers are anchored to the front subframe. Once the front subframe has been welded to the subframe connectors and torque boxes it is not likely to move easily. If the torque boxes and SBC were welded with the shock tower out of place...

    Finally started my project!

    The 4.6 DOHC is very heavy. I have the 2003 Cobra version for my 67. I replaced the iron block with an aluminum block to save weight (about 70lbs). The 2003 also has a blower which adds some weight. With the aluminum block and all of the accessories attached (including an aluminum flywheel...

    Finally started my project!

    I've been considering this type of frame for future projects. One concern was adding weight. It looks like it weighs significantly more than the parts that will be deleted (shock towers, partial subframes, leaf springs, etc...). Is the "no weight gain" claim based in part on extra items that...

    welding tank question

    I say get the 125. I started with a 40 and got tired of having to get refills. Luckily Airgas gave me full credit for the 40 when I traded up.

    Mustang II front suspension questions

    My R&C is the same way. R&C has additional adjustment for height (using the coilover mount) and I have that at the highest position. The car is still very low.

    Mustang II front suspension questions

    Here's what I did to reinforce the front end in my 67 coupe. I ran the brace from the corner of the firewall to the frame right in front of the springs. I also fabricated some additional bracing that connects to the inner fender so there would be something substantial to attach an export brace...

    Elec or Mech Speedo?

    I like the electric because it allows for accurate calibration. Doesn't matter what gears or tire size you have.

    Pypes Exhaust

    I just put this exhaust in my 66 behind a 347 with Hedman headers. For the price I don't think you can beat it. It fit well and the sound is just right to me. I installed the quietest of the mufflers (I think Street Pro). It's not nearly as loud as the Spintechs in my fastback but loud enough to...
