    Advice: getting ready to start up the 5.0 swap

    The short block was not taken down, as it only had an original 48,000 miles on it. I had a guy that was an engine rebuilder in the 80's looked at it and said that it was in virtually new condition. He checked crank end play and bearings and said I would be wasting my time and money to break it...

    Advice: getting ready to start up the 5.0 swap

    Thank you sir. I am installing the interior this weekend, as I finally finished up the underdash wiring, and little stuff that takes forever to just get done. Thanks for the advice on the rockers. I was told that I needed to use non-synthetic oil to break in the engine, but everything I...

    Advice: getting ready to start up the 5.0 swap

    I actually am not aware of how to set base timing or idle on the EFI setup. How do you clear the computer, to have it relearn? It has been without power for over four years, so I would assume it is "cleared"? Yes/no?

    Advice: getting ready to start up the 5.0 swap

    I am getting ready to start up the stang after a very long project fraught with divorce, two family tragedies, and a couple of financial setbacks. I have compiled a quick list of things I think I should do, as I get ready to start it up and actual startup. 1. Check every bolt front to back...

    AeroStar Drive Shaft Question

    Sorry, away for a few days. I have the AOD, but yes it included my NEW yokes. I don't mean to insult any of the very talented welders out there, and I know that there are some companies that can do the welds, but like my Drivetrain shop said; Ford has a driveshaft welding machine/robot...

    AeroStar Drive Shaft Question

    Don't do it. My local driveshaft shop (this is the shop that pretty much all the racers use) said that "yes the Aerostar driveshaft can be shortened but that the wall thickness is so thin that it is virtually impossible to make a clean weld to reattach the yoke. The hooked me up with a sweet...

    FUEL system finally!!! Question about my Bosch pump

    Well it is getting so close I can smell the fumes. I ran the lines this morning, and now, I as I went to connect the Fuel Pump, I have no idea how to connect it. I am using the Nylon Ford Fuel line for EFI and a Bosch 120L pump. The connectors are the push in connectors see the picks. The...

    Why are the gas tanks offset to one side?

    I agree. Although I am really wanting to move the tank over the 1" to center it. Time/common sense vs. PITA factor. I am just leaving it alone and going with 2.5" tails. :rlaugh: Thanks for the help with my really stupid question.

    Why are the gas tanks offset to one side?

    I am seriously thinking about cuting out the bottom of the trunk and recentering it??? At this point, who cares with this "Frankenstang". :rlaugh:

    Why are the gas tanks offset to one side?

    Well dang, it sure does make exiting a 3" chrome tail pipe impossible with a rattle. I guess I will just keep the 2.5" all the way out. :shrug:

    Why are the gas tanks offset to one side?

    Can anyone tell me why the gas tanks are offset? Meaning one side is closer to the leaf springs... stupid question but I was just thinking outloud as I am fabing up the exhaust. Is it because of balance with the spare to one side???

    Best way to mask interior for dash paint?

    That photo looks just like mine when I did it. :rlaugh: my "ex" wife was very unhappy that I used her "good" wrapping paper. May I suggest a really good mask? I mean really good! It will get very thick with vapor in there... :shrug:

    67-68 Cobra R model racing apron

    Sorry, I have had a few "life events" that have held up the project. Got divorced two years ago, dad died last year, and mom was diagnosed with cancer last fall. :) Life is getting better, so I have started working on it again. I can post some pics next week. I just finished fitting and...

    Advice on sanding down the car and priming...

    Well I started last night. I got a quarter panel and part of a door finished. Do I have to spray it down as I go? That seems like it would be a PITA if I do... I figure I can have the entire car sanded down by Friday night, and then spray it on Saturday. It has been 100 degrees and dry...
