    engine rebuild kits

    Unless you get an incredible deal on a kit, it is usually cheaper and definitely easier to purchase an assembled short block. Figure at least $600 in machine work to prep your block for a stroker.

    2000 4.6l cobra crate engine swap into 65/66 mustangs?

    You can get stroker short blocks for under $2k. Turn-key dyno'd motors are in the $5k-$6k range. Stroked 5.0s come in many different displacements but the most common are 331 and 347. Engine Pricing http://www.f-p-s.com/engines/index.html...

    good parts car deal

    $200 is a good deal. I just sold my original A/C ($350), Console ($250), etc. etc. If the body work is in good condition, post it in a local paper and make some more.

    Stock Discs vs. Baer

    Do you happen to have part numbers for the Calipers, Rotors, and Hats?

    Finally bought my t5.

    With the g-force upgrade kit, he should be able to beat the crap outta the tranny. Pretty much everything internal is replaced. You just need a good doner tranny.

    Finally bought my t5.

    Use this chart to determine the input shaft length. If it was for a non-v8 car, you will probably have to swap it out.

    Best differential for the street?

    Please do tell how it works out. Mine has been sitting in the box for several months... waiting to install the rest of the drivetrain.

    Best differential for the street?

    I will have ~380HP at the crank and chose to use an 8" 4-Spider Traction-Loc with 3:80 gears. Currie sells these but I picked up an entire rebuilt 3rd member with new gears for $550 shipped from [email protected]. He also sells on ebay. His ID is fast500xl1. If I end up doing the Summit...

    Strut Rod reinforcement

    The strut mount location on the frame is a simple "H" |-| design. I nailed a curb doing about 30 mph in my first Mustang and the mount point looked more like this |^|. I had to use some percussion engineering to straighten it back out. This is where I believe you are asking for where to...

    Best differential for the street?

    Of the three listed, there are mechanical and clutch style differentials; each are best suited on the type of driving you are doing. Generally speaking, mechanical are best suited for 1/4 mi. These include Powertrax, Detroit Locker, and others. Clutch styles are best suited for Autocross and...

    Finally - Engine is at the machine shop.

    I dropped of the rotating assembly, heads, and block yesterday at Ford Performance Solutions in Anaheim. I'm having the rotating balanced (20 oz.) and having the block decked .016 and the heads milled .015. This will bring the static compression to 9.8:1 which is right where I want to be...

    shelby wheel flares?

    Dallas Mustang uses a new style steel fender flare on their Terlingua. It is very subtle. Unfortunately, they do not list these items in their catalog.

    8" and 9" axles are interchangable as long as the splines and length are the same.

    Boss 302 in a 66

    Sounds like you could have a set of custom headers. Check the diameter of the primary exhaust tubes at the heads. If they are in the 1 7/8" range, they would cost you over a grand to replace. If they are this large, they are for High RPM operation. You will give up quite a bit of torque below...

    Turn a 65 Coupe into a Fastback?

    Good point - stay outta the rain with the Ronster.

    Turn a 65 Coupe into a Fastback?

    Easier to make it a convertible with a Ronster kit from (dare I say) Mustang Plus. Or you can start with a fabbed chassis and install a full glass fastback shell.
