    Type-F ATF Equivalent or Replacement???

    Do an internet search for "Bahrain Sport Parts". Don't know if they have the Type F fluid, but they mention GM and Ford vehicles and parts.

    1967 289 Engine Reassembly

    That's the A/C idler bracket that you're holding in the photo. If you want to see a diagram, open the online catalog at Classic Auto Air's website. If you're asking about the alternator brackets, you should see something like in the linked photo below (minus the chrome)...

    65-6 aftermarket disc brakes

    Don't know about the Cobra Automotive brakes first-hand, but IIRC they use the "big" Kelsey-Hayes calipers, just like the Ford SCCA Trans-Am racers did in the late '60s. Pricey, but they will fit a 16" wheel. Depending on how much more braking power you're after (or if an updated appearance...

    Head Light Wiring

    A new '66 switch may or may not fix this - it depends on the lights you selected. However, fitting a '69 switch (designed for quad headlights) will usually do the trick. That switch has a different circuit breaker - but you'll need to move your old switch's bracket to the '69 part. Another...

    Non EFI 5.0HO in my 65

    Hydraulic is good, but if you're going with the 5.0 and the T-5, you might also look at a cable setup. The rig that MustangSteve sells has problems with Tri-Y headers and heat damage - but your specs show *shorty* Tri-Ys. Those might work okay. If you're so inclined, ask about that setup...

    anyone ever build this

    Try searching the internet (or forums like VMF specifically) for the phrase "chassis dolly".

    are all 302's created equal?

    Hmm, haven't seen any mention of the engine balance change. All small-block Windsor engines are externally-balanced, relying on the correct flywheel and matching crankshaft damper. 289s and 302s up 'til 1980 (I think) had a 28 oz.-in. imbalance, while later engines used a 50 oz-in imbalance...

    3G alt rebuild question

    You need an alternator bearing puller. The type I've seen has tapered plates that clamp around the bearing, then the puller threads into the plates.

    5W30 in a 302 '68?

    If you have a flat-tappet camshaft, you might want to find out more about the oil that they put in. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the 5W oils are more likely to lack the levels of that zinc anti-wear / detergent additive that your engine prefers (thanks a lot, EPA...). These new...

    67 Fastback body on 2005+ chassis?

    Yep, I'm more fascinated with the reverse of the "late-model powertrain in the vintage car" project. Something like John Colleti's '94 Mustang that Roush built with the Boss 429 tucked neatly under the hood. IIRC, that car ran an EFI system, too. With the prevalence of big, plastic engine...

    5.0 conversion questions

    The following website has a few photos of the timing cover mod: http://www.marlincarsite.com/Falcon-swap.htm Keep in mind that if you want to retain a "vintage" look, an early-model timing cover and water pump will bolt right on. Also, you'll need an electric fuel pump to use the...

    E85 Questions

    Technically yes, E85 can be used in a carbed engine. Before considering the various elements which make this feasible, there's one potential problem: there's only ONE E85 pump in your area. The second nearest pump is in Pearland, TX - over 15 miles away. Both locations are at Kroger...

    check engine light on....97 grand marquis

    I just had this problem with a '97 Mountaineer. First it started with O2 sensor fault codes, so I replaced the front O2 sensors and crossed my fingers. For about 25 miles, I thought all was well - then the CEL lit up again with the "catalyst efficiency" code - which it was NOT showing before...

    Cooling System Issue after running EFI Swap

    Did you use the original timing cover on that block, or switch to a later part from an EFI 5.0? I recall reading that there are certain combinations which should be avoided (some other more knowledgeable folks have posted the details here in the past). If you have an unintentional parts...

    Rear Seat Delete w/ Amp rack, Tool box holder

    The Mustang parts companies have been selling a tool tote that matches the trunk mat for years. I suppose a Mustang-specific toolbox would be nicer, but I have no problem with the concept. IIRC, Saleen or one of the other Mustang tuners offered a molded toolbox for the inside of the SN-95...

    66 Engine Compartment Paint???

    I'm not sure of the paint mix number for the underhood black (I think I've seen it mentioned on the Vintage Mustang Forum). That'd be the most "authentic" way to go - look that up and have a quart mixed. Eastwood Underhood Black is also popular. Krylon Semi-Flat Black spray paint (#1613)...

    How I mounted a 65-66 aftermarket radio in the glovebox

    Interesting idea, thanks. My '65's dash had already been hacked-up by a previous owner, so rather than weld in a patch panel, I went ahead and opened up the mangled metal to fit a single-DIN sleeve. Now I have a digital-only Alpine tuner (USB and iPod input only, no CD player) in the dash. I...

    Seats, what to use

    I used a pair of seats from a 1986 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe (pretty much the same as Mustang SVO seats). A local upholstery shop stitched-up some seat covers that look like the standard '65 vinyl skins. Now you can buy the retro-look upholstery for the Fox seats ready-made. Pontiac Fiero seats...

    02 gt pbr calipers rather than cobras calipers on a 65

    The old Kelsey-Hayes calipers actually work pretty well. That said, I'd also like to get the Cobra brakes on my '65, but don't really want to go to 17" wheels. The 16" Vintage 45s are exactly what I want; guess I'll keep looking at other brake options. IIRC, the MustangSteve brakes might fit...
