    How much pedal play do you all have after Disc Swap?

    I'll just throw this out there: take the lid off the master cylinder and look in the front reservoir for the drilled-out hole in the bottom. Have an assistant apply the brake pedal. It's my understanding that you should be able to see the piston move forward as it covers up that hole. Only...

    What do you guys think of these wheels?

    Wow, you guys have got some good taste. I like all the wheels pictured in this thread.

    302 w/ 3spd manual, convert to T-5?

    There are tons of threads on this subject, and websites too. The short answer is that you can use a T5 bell from about '94 or older, or the '71 bell with a CNC-machined aluminum spacer. The newer bell pretty much won't work with the old Z-bar, so you have to go hydraulic or cable. I believe...

    Pic of 8" carnage; advice on 9" needed.

    Thanks for all the replies. To mrmustangman357, brianj5600, and BullittStangV8, et al.: I will search the forum for "8.8" and see what I find. Is there any vendor who offers a drop-in kit for a '65? I'm in automotive Siberia -- Berkeley California -- and I seriously doubt I can find anyone...

    USA-66 Wiring?

    I would expect the OE radio to have a power lead that's energized with the ignition key, and a ground wire, plus a third wire connected to the dash light circuit, including the dimmer. You can use a test light or a voltmeter to figure out which is which. I would expect an aftermarket head...

    Pic of 8" carnage; advice on 9" needed.

    Who doesn't like looking at pix of broken parts? Here ya go: What you are looking at is a Richmond Gear 3.55:1 ring and pinion, with the ring gear missing a tooth, and an Auburn clutch-style lsd, in what's left of a 43-year old 8" carrier. This happened the third time I ever tried to do...

    64-66 turbo mustang headers

    This cross-over pipe is hangin' low: Is that the final design, or will you tuck it up a little more? What's the price on this initial run? Will this fit under a flat hood?

    deck height problem (351 into 67 Mustang)

    The Weiand Stealth intake is good and it's shorter than the Air Gap.

    How big can the cam be...

    To get a feel for cam specs vs. vacuum and driveability, check some cam catalogs like Crower's. The vendors typically break their lineup down into three segments, with the "RV" level at the top of the chart and the race-only at the bottom. Keep in mind that bigger displacement enables bigger...

    SSBC 4-piston calipers same as OE Ford?

    I have the Stainless Steel Brakes drum to disc conversion kit on my '65. It includes 4-piston calipers that are similar in appearance to the Kelsey-Hayes units that Ford used. I want to get some more aggressive pads from EBC Brakes (www.ebcbrakes.com). They might look like this: EBC...

    World Heads on a 302 need input

    What's not too like? Low port velocity combined with low static compression. Sounds just right -- for a dump truck. In your other thread I believe you mentioned this guy does mostly Chevys. The 2.02" intake valve has been standard issue on hi-po Chevys since about 1964. All the "camel hump"...

    Wheel and Tire Suggestions? -- 65 Mustang -- PICS!

    I think those are FR500's on that green car. If not then they're Raceline GT's, like I put on my '65: Here's another pic: http://www.mustangmods.com/data/9461/ride_height_5305.jpg These rims 17 x 8, 5.0 BS with 235/45-17 tires. I needed to use a 7/32" spacer on the fronts, to clear...

    66 BOSS 408 project

    I do see those port plates now that you mention it. The thing about a 351 Cleveland in a '65-'66 vs. a 351 Windsor with Cleveland heads is the deck height on the Cleveland block is 9.2" while it's 9.5" on the Windsor. That extra 0.3" could make all the difference. My '70 Cougar with the 1"...

    66 BOSS 408 project

    So you got all that done before 4:00 today? Good work! :p Seriously, that is quite a build. A blown 408 Clevor, you must be in the 800 hp neighborhood, seein as how all those NA Engine Masters 434 Clevors were hitting 700 with a 6500 rpm cutoff. I guess I probably missed prior threads, so I...

    KICK PANEL SPEAKER SOLUTIONS?????

    Any sound system that does not use separate amps, with the head unit providing line level out only, and that does not use a separate subwoofer box, is not going to produce decent sound, no matter what drivers you use. Flipside: any system that uses these two add-ons (provided they're quality...

    G-Machine 66 Stang, "THE CAR"

    What engine? What tranny? What's going on with the shock towers? Any body mods?

    Rear Suspension

    Is this intended for drag racing only. The reason I ask is because those short upper links don't look like they'll allow much of a differential in suspension compression from side to side, before they'll bind. There's also the problem inherent in the Panhard bar, that it will behave...

    New Mustang Bodies/Shells

    Dynacorn says they use heavier gauge steel than the gennies. I recall from a story on the Crapmaro that they weld seams full length, where the gennie is spot welded. It is unlikely the Dynacorn will have the same sharpness to the creases and the same contours to the last detail. So to anyone...

    New Mustang Bodies/Shells

    The Dynacorn goes for $15,995 fob Oxnard California. (Does "fob" mean that shipping is extra?) That includes the doors and the trunk lid, but no front clip. The Hot Rod story points out that these unibodies are not "ready for paint" from the factory, so in addition to running down all the...
