    171 Cubic Inch V-6 Motor In 78 Mustang 2

    V-6`s do sound awesome with good pipes, I`ve heard a few. Hopefully I can get this running, thanks for the solid lifter tip that will keep me from ripping the valve covers off in the first 30 seconds...lol. Thanks for the info.

    78 Mustang 2 Parts Car Maybe?

    Every Mustang 2 conversion kit I`ve seen is over $1000. I have a car with all the stuff hanging under it, what exactly makes it so hard to remove and re install? Also assuming I could source just the cross member for a reasonable price, what parts could I use off the mustang 2, and what else...

    171 Cubic Inch V-6 Motor In 78 Mustang 2

    Not knowing much about Mustang 2`s, is this a common motor? And is it a good motor? I just got this today and I`m not sure what i got into here.

    Mustang 2 Front End Conversion?

    I just got a 78 mustang 2 car with v-6 motor and power rack and pinion steering, is it possible to remove the cross member and put it under my 65 fastback? And with the mustang 2 being 4 lug wheels, what all will need to be changed to make it 5 lug? I got a great deal on the mustang 2, and if...

    78 Mustang 2 Parts Car Maybe?

    I`ve been hearing about Mustang 2 front end conversions for years, I finally found a car REALLY cheap, $250, it has a v-6 motor, auto transmission, 4 lug wheels, rack and pinion power steering, and a lazer straight body with no dings at all. I figure worst case I can take the motor and tranny...

    Brakes I6 Cars With Stock 13" Or 14" Wheels And Disc Brakes

    Mine look just like the V8 one you have pictured, but the tie rod hole seems pretty small. Do you have a casting number on the V-8 drum spindle? I am sick of the granada setup, my car drives like crap, and it should not, I got a lot of money tied up in the front end trying to make it drive better.

    Brakes I6 Cars With Stock 13" Or 14" Wheels And Disc Brakes

    I do have a very weird situation on my car, let me explain. It`s a factory 6 cyl car ( T code) with a 5 lug V-8 suspension. The rear end tag and the transmission tags match completely, however, other than the 5 lug suspension, it has the 6 cyl front end parts, all the way from tie rods to the...

    Engine 429, I Found 2 Of Them, But I Don`t Know What They Are Worth.

    Honestly I just dropped the ball, I looked online and found rebuilt 429`s (not the old ones) from $2500 and up. But they all said for trucks and I bet getting brackets and stuff would be a pain. It was not for me, for a buddy building cars up in IA, he asked me what he was getting into, which...

    Brakes I6 Cars With Stock 13" Or 14" Wheels And Disc Brakes

    I saw a I-6 Mustang at a car show I was in Saturday with 14 inch wheels and stock disk brakes. It was the only one I`d ever seen, but based on the stock v-8 ones I`ve seen, I do think they were factory equipped. I did the granada swap and they are going in the trash first chance I get to get...

    Engine 429, I Found 2 Of Them, But I Don`t Know What They Are Worth.

    Now I feel stupid, didn`t know they started making them again in 1979... I don`t think these have anything in common with the old 429CJ motors at all.

    Engine 429, I Found 2 Of Them, But I Don`t Know What They Are Worth.

    1 is in an old firetruck and the other is being used a pump for the same fire station. What should I offer these guys for these? And the motor being used as the pump, will it be ok for a car? These are good solid running engines and I`d hate to let them get away.

    Rust Treatment

    As long as you can spray it and keep it wet for at least 15 minutes, the metal prep will kill any surface rust. I use POR15 products, I assume thats what horse sense is talking about. White vinegar and distilled water mixed together work pretty good, but not as well as the POR 15 stuff. The...

    Hose Recommendation For 5.0l With Big Block Radiator

    This is cheesy but it`ll work, go to a muffler shop, and have pipe sized for the small end, and stretched to the right size at the other end. A good shop can fab it all the way from one end to the other, but don`t get your hopes up, that would be pricey. You just need the pipe to adapt one...

    Mustang 2 Front End Questions.

    Yes I have the shelby drop, and yes its aligned to shelby specs, per Opentrackers specs. I was in the shop with the guy the day he aligned it and he did a great job, took him about 4 hours to get it right. I did feel like all along it was the spindles, I`ll get some time in a bit and read the...

    Mustang 2 Front End Questions.

    Well my budget isn`t going to allow for that right now, which makes me want to trouble shoot what I already have. Opentracker set me up good on my front end parts, adjustable strut rods, roller perches, some other trick stuff I can`t even remember now. Anyway, there are only 3 things I can...
