    1998 v-6 engine in a 1966 mustang does anyone know if this has been done

    yea the SHO engines are quite high maintenance to be sure. and the essex is not without its problems also. it likes to eat head gaskets especially on the early engines. the later ones cured that issue.

    1965 289 Starter Upgrade

    i believe your flywheel is a 157 tooth one, but i dont think that matters as with either flywheel the start location is changed, not the starter.

    1998 v-6 engine in a 1966 mustang does anyone know if this has been done

    i dont even care about the size of the engines, they both fit the vintage engine compartments well enough to use them. my issue is with the way the waterpump is driven on the ecoboost engines. best hope you dont get a coolant leak because it will destroy the ecoboost engines in short order...

    Help with choosing suspension for a 65 with a 5.0 L conversion

    i dont think you need rack and pinion steering. check out chockostang's website. he rebuilds factory steering boxes and makes them better than before. he might even have faster steering ratios available to choose from. and dont forget the shelby quicksteer kit either. it uses longer pitman and...

    Help with choosing suspension for a 65 with a 5.0 L conversion

    since this is going to be basically a daily driver, then the stock suspension in top shape will do nicely. however i suspect that you might wan to do a little corner carving, and want something a little more responsive. no problem. upgrading the stock suspension is easy enough. start with; the...

    Best Efi Route

    inglese always has good stuff. he is the king of weber systems in the US, and the step to EFI was a natural one in this case. as for street manners, that depends on a lot of things, intake runner length is just one of them. but the runner length doesnt start at the intake manifold, it actually...

    i forgot about the PCM conversion as well. OP if you dont want to go through all that expense, then check out these two sites, they have a lot of stuff for the essex V6, including stroker kits to bump things up to 4.2l; http://moranav6racing.com/ http://www.supersixmotorsports.com/ and then...

    1998 v-6 engine in a 1966 mustang does anyone know if this has been done

    remember the hardest part if going to be dealing with the wiring harness. there are wires you will not need. so get yourself a comprehensive wiring diagram and study it carefully.

    1998 v-6 engine in a 1966 mustang does anyone know if this has been done

    its about as hard as any other engine swap. as i recall the essex V6 uses the same motor mounts as the early 289/302, at least where they bolt to the block. the bell housing bolt pattern is the same as the 289/302 so that engine will bolt up to the transmission, but you will have to get the...

    Stroke Em if You Got Em

    i would go with either the 331 or the 347, unless you are willing to pony up the $5000 for the dart block that can handle the larger bore size. unless you are going racing, the dart block is not worth the money imo.

    Question about dual bowl conversion

    yep, it worked perfectly the first time. i even upgraded the wheel cylinders at the same time to the V8 mustang wheel cylinders for better braking. not a huge improvement but noticible none the less.

    What oil for a 1965 289

    if i cant find 10w30, i will use 15w40. but then i live in southern arizona where it is tough to be a minister, because in the winter you cant promise us heaven, and in the summer you cant threaten us with hell. i dont know where you live OP, but base your oil weight choice on your normal...

    Question about dual bowl conversion

    i probably could have, but back then i was working in a national park, and dealing with small town parts stores, and i needed the car done quickly. so i found the parts i needed that worked, and did the job. today perhaps i would have done things differently, though perhaps the "T" fitting would...
