    Want a carb'd late model mod motor for your classic?

    I haven't shopped new mod motors other than looking at new take-outs such as Kar Kraft sells. They've got '04 2 valve motor for $2000, which seems comparable to your basic assembled 302 with all new parts (except for rehab'd block and heads), right? Don't get me wrong, you can rebuild a motor...

    Want a carb'd late model mod motor for your classic?

    A good question. I know what you're thinking... "Why do a mod motor at all, especially if you're gonna carb it?", right? Well, there might be some good reasons, like mod motors make good power, mod motors are different, mod motors can be found for cheap used, a new mod motor is about the same...

    1984-86 lincoln mark 7 rear brakes

    The best source for info on this is the originator: www.ultrastang.com . The short answer to the original question is it is not a bolt-on swap as is. It will require custom caliper mounting brackets such as Ultrastang sells. Also, the rotors are not hub centric and therefor require centering...

    Randall rack install...

    With regard to bookkeeping issues, a single open thread of this kind is probably the least useful as a long term resource. The reason I say this is that too much irrelevant information and posting will inevitably find its way into the thread and eventually make disseminating information from...

    Randall rack install...

    I knew I wasn't alone. Either way, I'm all for DIY on a budget, and Randall's rack is right up there.

    dbfar, you're obviously well invested in this project (I don't mean monetarily, though that may be the case too). You've hit on many of the usual problematic areas that most encounter on the OEM ps setup. I'm glad you're taking the time to share your insight and experience, as well as your...

    Mustang steve cobra brake mounting plates

    I don't think that is the same at all... and legally, it is very difficult to copyright or patent "ideas", though it may be possible under intellectual property rights law (something I need to learn more about for my own professional activities). Anyway, I totally believe in the freedom of...

    Mustang steve cobra brake mounting plates

    No need to CYA... I think both of us are just suggesting that there may be legal rammifications to requesting, publishing, or using someone else's design (which may be copyrighted or patented). Patent law is a mess by all accounts, but copyright law is well researched and tried. Just ask the...

    Mustang steve cobra brake mounting plates

    NOT COOL! :notnice: :nono: Ever heard of copyright infringement? I think design specs fall under the same heading. You could probably get away with it legally (then again, maybe not), but I think it's morally equivalent to the same thing as theft. MustangSteve did the R&D (or paid...

    Lets talk about Master-Cylinders

    I knew about the warning light, but I believe there were distribution blocks in some vintage fords that actually had the brake light switch built-in. I just couldn't remember if that applied to early Mustangs. I know my '70 block only has the warning switch.

    Lets talk about Master-Cylinders

    Kyle's is a darn good response, and I agree pretty much across the board. I think the key point is that discs require more volume, while drums require more pressure, which means you want an MC that will move adequate volume and has adequate volume capacity. With that in minde, don't ignore...

    I need a good source for 03' Mach 1 rims.

    Paint and body...what can I get for $3500?

    I didn't notice you were in Orlando area. It's a long story, but my car is in Tampa. All the work has been done there, including the body work, which was done by a Tampa professional Mustang resto shop. Actually, it's pretty much one guy named Keith. He's done restoration work for decades...

    Paint and body...what can I get for $3500?

    $3500 can get you some of what you want done, but it really depends on how bad the rust is and what kind of quality you're expecting. If you don't want completely "correct" (i.e. resto correct) job, then you can probably get the basic repairs done (mostly with plenty of bondo) and a basic paint...

    13" Cobra Disk Brake Brackets

    I think it's great that these retrofit kits are coming available now. MustangSteve has his out, and now Randall's Rack is selling a similar kit as well. I suspect this will put a damper on some of the folks attempting to develop their own kits. But I also suspect there will suddenly be a...
