    Well, I've made some progress. I've just about got everything off the front that can be salvaged. Loaded the scrap into ny buddies truck and am waiting for the last bits to come off before I take it to the metals salvage place. I don't expect to get much for the load but it beats paying the...

    I appreciate the offer, I like the 4160's, I've used them before. The Carter looks pretty good. It's a 625 I think, just a little bit bigger than my Edelbrock. Thats good because I'm going to port match the Manifold this time and should get a little better flow. I looked it over and the parts...

    which aluminum rad do you use?

    Hope this helps When I saw your question I recalled someone else was asking about this a while back. This thread has a lot of links to sources with prices and whats required to make it work. (lots of answers using search) I gather you have a 65 coupe? The front end is the same as the...

    Carb question Oops, now I'm confused again. According to the data I have the two models of the '67 289 came w/ a 4BBL and one with a 2BBL, so I'll have to ask 70XR7ConvertCat It has to be a 4bbl as the engine sits now, it's a 351W with a Weiand Stealth manifold. The manifold only took minor...

    Sounds interesting. I'm not real familiar with the Carters but I've heard good things about them. If the bolt pattern is the same as an Edelbrock it should work. Do you get down here often? You'd be welcome to hang out and wrench a little any weekend if so inclined too. (or weekday actually...

    This is great news! Thanks fellows, I e-mailed Chris. BTW Chris, it would be a good idea to put a space in any e-mail address you post to avoid spammers harvesting it with robots. It's easy enough to take it out when replying. I'm working on a list which I have posted at This location I'll...

    After Market Instrument Panel

    re:Haneline I put the Haneline in my '65. I didn't like the fact that you have to bend the mounting tabs 180 to install it, it fits completely into the opening, unlike the stock unit. The Bezel is sort of flimsy, appears to be vacuum molded plastic, but I'm not positive. The fascia plate...

    I hardly know what to say! I can't tell you just how much it means to me to have you guys chip in and help me out. I've been depressed for months, even while working to get it back together. I can definitely use the front end parts, I had been looking into Granada brakes but didn't...

    Crashed Mustang Hi Ron, Thanks for the call, I really appreciate it. I am working on getting it back together but it's a major major job! I kind of glanced over the previous posts and I should clarify one thing. The harness did NOT fail. From the position of the belt it looked like it wasn't...
