    HELP: Piston-Valve Clearance Issues

    I was trying to get the cam swap finished today and ran into a problem. I was putting on the roller rockers and went to spin the engine over to do the last few and it wouldnt rotate the whole way around. Seems to me that the valves are hitting the pistons. Here is what I have: Stock 289...

    Rims on early 4 piston discs

    I ran 14" magnums with 215/60/14 all around up until now (the car now has 17" bulletts but hasnt moved since they have been added). *If you are looking for a set of magums cheap, with practically new BFG's send me a PM.

    Building an engine

    Wrong Cam choice If I remember correctly the E303 is for a roller block. If the engine coming out of the donor is of the same vintage it will be a non-roller block.

    Fuel Pump Eccentric not Engaging Cam Dowl Pin ?

    Thanks for the info guys. Main question is: where does one go about getting a longer dowel pin? I'll use a little washer if necessary but would rather do it the right way. Trevor

    Fuel Pump Eccentric not Engaging Cam Dowl Pin ?

    Which One? Trying to finish up the car and I am currently finalizing the cam swap. I have the Comp Cams #2120 timing set on my 289. I am running the ford racing timing cover with this. I want to make sure I get this eccetric correct. The dowl does not protrude from the cam timing gear to engage...

    Patriot tri-y fitment problem (rubs on shock tower)

    I have a monte carlo bar that I have not been able to install due to the bolt wholes being slightly off. However, the bar does fit between the fenders with just the right about of room. It appeared that I could tweak the front end enough w/ jacks to make it fit but figured that may throw off...

    Patriot tri-y fitment problem (rubs on shock tower)

    Those brackets are pricey. Best deal I have seen so far is poly mounts and the brackets for $200. Does anyone know if the Ron Morris mounts require the brackets or do they bolt straight to the frame? I didnt want to drop me than $100 for stupid mounts. This sucks.

    Patriot tri-y fitment problem (rubs on shock tower)

    ME TOO! I am currently in the process of a cam/head/intake/exhaust swap. I purchased the patriot try-y's and am having some fitment issues. I cannot fit the header in on the passenger side because it interferes w/ the shock tower. The driver side is in fine but I done have more than an 1/8" of...

    What timing cover to go with my water pump?

    Thanks for the info Dennis. I have timing tape in the garage to put on during re-assembly. I'll look for a '70 or later cover w/ mechanical fuel pump provision. Now that I am in this deep I am going to do a cam, head, and intake swap. I have had the parts for 6 months and need a good excuse to...

    What timing cover to go with my water pump?

    I did a search and didnt find a clear answer other than the fact that my car has the early style timing cover. I am in the process of putting in an al. rad. which has a driver side lower hose. I went to autozone and picked up a '70 302 Mustang W.P. with the driverside outlet. When I tried to...

    What is my clutch size?

    From my experience, you cant tell until you get it apart. My supposedly original 289/toploader combo turned out to require an 11"er once I tore into it. I had already bought (ebay) a stage 1 centerforce 10" which I now have shelved. I couldnt return it and couldnt bring myselft to putting on a...

    Will this Griffin Rad work?

    The sentence before it states that it "has better cooling capacity than stock radiators" which is why I was curious. I havent driven my car in a couple of years but I recall that it only heated up when idling too long. Too be expected since I have a stock fan and no shroud. I'll just get one...

    2005 bullet wheels on a 65

    finally took some pics... Here are the pics of the '06 wheels on my basically stock height '65. Rear tires are are fine... could actually be a bit larger, but the fronts catch on the forward lower edge of the fender when the wheel is cut. I ran 1.5" spacers all around. Once I get a little extra...

    Crane XR-1/timing help

    Thanks for the info. I never had to put in a distributor before without having marked the way it should be. As for the resistor - did you used P/N recommended in the instructions? Thanks again, Trevor

    Crane XR-1/timing help

    I had a new accel blueprint series distributor laying around and decided to do the electronic ignition conversion on that and put it in my car on friday. I pulled the old dist. and put the new one in just the way the other came out. I couldnt get the car to start after this so I pulled the dist...

    2005 bullet wheels on a 65

    put my '06 Bullitt Wheels On I used 1.5" spacers front & rear to test fit the wheels on the driver side (no stores around me carried the correct lug nuts so I pirated some from the other 2 spacers) In the front, the wheels was about 1/8"+ from the UCA. In the rear I have about 1.25" from the...

    2005 bullet wheels on a 65

    I was hoping the studs would be long enough to shim the wheels out with spacers but that would have meant they needed to be in the 3" long region. I ordered a set of 4 billet 1.5" wheel spacers yesterday. I hope to have them in by the weekend. From my extensive reading on this I found that...
