    Export brace blues

    you really need to do the porta-power trick to get the towers back in alignment, otherwise you may have problems getting the car aligned in the future, when the towers sag like yours have you lose adjustability of the front suspension and eventually you won't be able to have it aligned properly...

    Rolling fenders question.

    did my car with a hammer and dolly before it was painted and you do only have to roll the tops in most cases however to be on the safe side i like to go about half way around the wheel well. if you are working on a painted fender you can also use a rubber mallet and a block of wood instead of...

    9in Versailles in my 67?

    i sold mine a couple years ago for right around $1000 but it was rebuilt with all new bearings and seals, rebuilt calipers, new rotors and a 3.70 geared open center section also with new bearings and seals, it was also painted and detailed correctly for installation into a mustang as well. hell...

    Another edition of the "identify these" game!

    TFS has the twisted wedge design patented IIRC so there should not be any knock-offs and to be honest i've never seen or even heard of a knock off for them. fairly certain that these are the real deal

    Skinny on the 351

    the cleveland and the windsor are both small block engines not related to big blocks at all, yes the cleveland has canted valves like some bi block engines but these heads were first used on the Boss 302 engine and the boss 302 is most definitely NOT a big block. if you were to build a 351...

    Skinny on the 351

    i will add that clevelands don't have the best oiling system, it's adequate for street and mild performance applications but for a high performance app, i would do some modifications, actually if it were me i'd do the oiling system mods on even a street engine. clevelands tend to have very thin...

    Looks like cruising weather is here!

    i think it's because the original 68 shelby 10 spokes had a slightly different backspacing that when combined with the 67 style disc brakes would make the wheels touch the ball joints. this is only a WAG on my part but i do seem to recall something about original 10 spoke wheels not working on...

    Gauges stopped working Help!!

    i would bet on the IVR too, yes you can get them at your local napa store. they are very easy to change once you have the cluster out, just one screw and then it snaps out like a 9 volt battery.

    Finally started my project!

    hey Kevin looks like this is going to be a fun project!!!! what body are you going to use? it wouldn't happen to be that charcoal gray fastback that Lou started on Musclecar would it? i've laways wondered what happened to that car as well as the Outlaw racer 65 fastback too.

    sounds like the timing may be a little too retarded, try advancing it some.

    Distributor Cap and Rotor issues

    i would like to say this, first of all there's no possible way you have a 351w dizzy in a 302, it simply won't work...period. it also sounds like you have problem with the dizzy itself, probably a worn out upper bushing which would require a replacement dizzy or completely rebuilding the one you...

    What to do and can it be done?

    yes you can use any of the power rack systems made for the mustang. any of them would be good except the flaming river POS, stay away from that one. the ABS brake box would be a good option also and IIRC it's a little bit less than most of the racks. given the choice between the two i'd probably...

    strange info request: exhaust port spacing on SBF head

    i've had a kind of similar idea for a long time that basically involves using chevy LS manifolds on a SBF, not sure if it would work or not but i've been thinking about giving it a try. the idea is to keep the engine looking stock with cast manifolds but breathe better than stock SBF manifolds...

    67-69 Spindles

    67 drum and disc, 68-69 drum spindles are all identical, with the exception of the casting numbers. 68-69 disc spindles are unique. also all drum spindles (including 67 disc) from 67-73 are pretty much the same except that 70-73 (also 69 Boss and some Shelbys) spindles have a larger spindle pin...

    68 mustang front suspension

    the biggest problem with the stock 60's mustang suspension is the steering and the bumpsteer issues. what i would do is swap in a decent power rack kit; TCP, Randalls Rack, Steeroids, Unisteer and RRS are all good ones but stay away from the flaming river rack kits. next would be the bumpsteer...

    Cleveland Aussie vs. Edelbrock

    yeah most people aren't aware there's a difference but it's valuable info to have. since you have the good Aussie heads i'd just run them since they are the best factory cleveland heads, don't worry about chaging over to adjustable rockers either unless you plan on using a solid cam, there are...

    paint production numbers????

    look for a book called Mustang by the Numbers by Kevin Marti or you could order the Marti Report for the 69, not available for 65-66 cars due to lack of records for those years

    Cleveland Aussie vs. Edelbrock

    if your aussie heads are the 351c 2v versions there's no difference between them and US 351c 2v heads, so i'd say for the price i'd go with the E'brock or Trick Flow or CHI heads. if you have the Aussie 302c heads that's a whole different story, the Aussie 302c heads are the desirable ones with...
