    Head Gasket suggestions

    I think the best set out their has to be the 40032, 40033, 40034 choices from Milodon. You can search on these and find the correct thickness. Each of the numbers above are the 302-351W with a 4.000 to a 4.060 bore, but have a .040 to .060 choice. Research these and you will find their uses in...

    Quick header install question

    Guys, 351W is almost done and ready to install. I have not purchased GT40 P headers yet. Do I need to wait and install them first and then drop in the engine, or can I place the engine in, and swing them in later. I do have a tubular K member , so there is a little more space then normal under...

    Where did you get those tinted tail lights? If you did not purchase, how did you get the red, to be a black?

    GT40P Header Rant

    You know I have spent the past 2 hours searching for a complete answer on the question of alternate headers for GT40p's. Not one person on any board can come right out and say anything other than maybe's & confusion. I do not want to spend $300 on a set of custom headers, if I can avoid this...

    GT40P questions

    Do not just buy springs. You also need the new retainers and locks. The factory ones will not work. I purchased springs only. I went to the machine shop to have the head bolt holes drilled out for placing them on a 351w and figured I would have them slap on the springs while there. Did not...

    Interesting Clutch Manufacturer Information

    OK guys, I am going to explain a few things I have learned today about buying some clutch kits. I need a new clutch for the T5 / 351W project. I shop and find 2 well known names. Zoom, and Fidanza. I purchase a Stage 1 clutch from Fidanza. I get the clutch, and the disc has Made in China on it...

    351 block questions

    Until 1974 the 351W had a respectible amount of nickel content. These are the most desired blocks. Not that anything after is bad, just not as strong. The other thing is the roller setup that changed the blocks in the early 80's. You have to choose your medicine unless, you want to modify the...

    351 block questions

    Anything you can make a 302 block do, a 351W can do it that much better, and safer. Think about the people on here with 347's hitting 500+ HP. A 351W can handle this easily without even stroking it.

    What kind of oil do you guys run?

    http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfilterstudy.html This is a GREAT website I found years ago. The information here will explain to you that FRAM pretty much stinks. I have used FL1A for years, but I am leaning on WIX 51515 here lately. I had a hard time finding them the last place I lived.

    What kind of oil do you guys run?

    Valvoline 5W30 and Motorcraft FL1A I like the 5W since it is only for the cold winter startup aspect of the oil. If you live in a cold climate then it is better since it will not be like heavy syrup. We are all fine with the 30 as this is the weight the oil achieves after warm up and standard...

    Battery cables for relocation. And Other Questions???

    You must have at least a #2 AWG for your Mustang. No questions asked. All the NEC charts and online calculators will show you that even a #2 is pushing it. But with a 5% tolerance, you are OK with a #2.

    Battery cables for relocation. And Other Questions???

    Having to much ground wire can actually be a bad thing. Just try to keep your frame connections to a minimum. You can create a large area for noise to be collected. Hince the WHINE you may hear in your speakers. Research ground noise on the net and you will see the effects on electronics...

    Rubber offset steering bushing problem

    Has anyone here used the rubber steering offset bushings on their rack and pinion? I have a new QA1 K member and am using the rubber offset bushings for bump steer. It scares me when I am attempting to tighten the bolts up because they compress and bulge out towards the top. I even used the...

    Convertible OEM Bracing?

    OK I am stumped. This is my first convertible. 1995. I have a Qa1 K-member I purchased for a 1995 "coupe" about 3 years ago. That car was wrecked and totaled by a stupid deer. I went to a 1999 but was unhappy. Now I have a 95 again, with a 351 W that came in the car. The engine was slapped...

    Distributorless Ignition System thoughts

    Where did you get the wiring information to make all this work. I can handle any level of technical information you can throw at me so do not hesitate. I work for Denso and repair the equipment that builds all of the engine cpu's for our customers. Throw it at me and I will deal with the rest. I...

    Convertible pillar pods different?

    Is there a difference between a hard top and a convertible pillar plastic? I am seeing 94-04 hard top triple gauge setups with the entire piece. The key word here is hard top. I have to assume they are different? Are they?

    351 Emblem?

    Years ago there was a 351 emblem that was very unique. It was shared with a 302 style that also seems unable to be found today. The 351 or 302 was slanted heavily and had the look of a lightning streak. I am going to attempt an attachment. Does ANYONE know where to find these now? I have looked...
