    E7TE Heads

    Does anyone have the E7 heads on their classic mustang, and if so, where did you mount the alternator? I am trying to use the 3/8 bolt hole in the outside corner of the block, but mounting there, it is a little flimsy. Also, putting it lower negates the usage of the three hole bracket that...

    Strange electronic box

    Below the washer fluid bag on my 66 coupe, inner fender left side, there is a finned aluminum box, about 3x3x6 or so, with a tape of maybe six wires coming out of it. Connection ends are flat metal tabs, and plastic nuts with metal inserts to hand tighten onto a threaded lug. nothing is...

    Affordable Fuel Injection

    Has anyone put TBI fuel injection on an older mustang? Bit pricy over 1000, but I would bet it to be reliable, and fuel efficient.

    E85 blend

    I have a flex fuel 5.3 in my gmc pickup. At 10:1, it sometimes pings on straight gasoline. Yesterday I added 7 gallons of E85 to the tank, then topped off with gas, for total of 25 gallons. No pinging, and no loss of power either. My truck doesnt run well on straight E85 in the summers in...

    8" ford rear, far from indestructable.....

    I launched my car hard, and broke the pinion support clean off the pumpkin of my 8" rear tonight. Sad part is, it has 3.50 gears. I have the complete center from a granada, with a 2.80 ratio. The question is, will my 3.50 gearset fit the 2.80 carrier? I may scrap the gear change, just so I...

    Can the performer RPM head with the 2.02 intake valve be used on a stock post 87 shortblock without flycutting the piston notches bigger than stock?

    Styled steel wheel + granada rotor = PIA

    For those of you with granada spindles and rotors, how much needs to be milled off the rotor to clear 14" styled steel wheels? I got a line on a set for cheap, but need to know how much work is involved.

    Overheating pony

    I have tried numerous things to keep my 302 cool. Milodyne water pump, re-curved duraspark, Three row copper, (used) griffin 2- row rad, and now have a brand new aluminum 2-1" core direct fit for the 64-66. With the electric fan from Hot Rod Air, it will only cool idling at night. During...

    Milodyne bushings, worse than poly.

    I recently purchased a milodyne front end rebuild kit off ebay, from Laurel mountain mustang, And after my initial disgust of all the parts labeled "Made in Mexico", I rebuild my front end. The kit contained UCA, LCA and sway bar links, as well as ball joints installed. Kit was easy to...

    Headers with T5

    I recently added a T5 tranny to my 66 coupe. I also swapped my junkyard headers for stock manifolds. I love the transmission, but miss the high end pull I used to have. Clutch cable clearance is the issue. Whis header clears or fits the best? Anyone like heddman shorties?

    Voltage regulator

    I replaced the stock 60 amp externally regulator with a stock 1980 granada alternator, (100amp?) with an internal regulator. If I unplug the regulator on my 66 stang, alternator does not charge, and the electric fan runs down the battery. I thought maybe using a jumper wire on the 2 12v hot...

    AFR or TW

    On a relatively stock roller 302, what would be the best choice for a carburated application, AFR 165, or Trick Flow twisted wedge? I am not concerned about the difference in price.

    AFR or Twisted Wedge?

    I just rebuilt a 91 302, installed a crane 2020, and topped it off with a pair of Windsor Jr heads, Offenhouser dual plane and a new 600 holley. I am disapointed to say the least. I think the 180 cc intake runners are killing the bottom end, and the cam is too small to develop power on top...

    Help indentifying WC T5

    Hey Stangnetters, I am looking at a parts car that has a cobra upper and lower, and a t5 for 1500. Can you help me distinguish between the 4 cyl t5 and the wc? The rest of the car is pretty much junk, So I plan on parting what I need and scrapping the rest. For 1500, the tranny needs to...

    Roller tip vs stock rocker arm

    Has anyone seen dyno proven results of horsepower increase by adding roller tip rockers? I have a set from comp cams that are driving me crazy. The annoying tick never goes away, regardless of lash. My machinist suggested cast aluminum valve covers, versus the stock steel, to dampen sound...

    Driver underdash a/c kit

    I have bought a used driver a/c kit for my 66 coupe. The kit is missing the 3 groove crank pulley. All of the stock type 3 groove pullies I have found have the third (AC) groove too far in. Will the ac kit supplier sell just the crank pulley? Thanks.

    Flexplate trouble

    I am neck deep in my I6 to 5.0 swap. I have a 91 roller mated to a 1980 granada C4. The flexplate I need is a 50 oz 164 tooth. My machinist at Napa sold me a pioneer FRA 214. Looked pretty close, but the converter bolts hit the spacer plate and the flexplate balance weight hits the spacer as...

    Motor mount heat isolator

    I am going to use the 6038 motor mounts on my v8 swap. A diagram I have shows a heat shield between the block and the mount. Is this piece neccesary or even available? PN C5ZZ-6C038-A Thanks

    E303 and windsor jr heads, bad combo?

    I was originally going to re ring a 87 or newer 302, port the E7's, and throw in an E cam for my 66. Now I have come across a set of Windsor Jr heads for a good price. I am also considering a crate shortblock with slight dome pistons for 10:1 with a 58cc head. Is the E cam a mismatch for the...
