    Brakes; Disc conversion, Power, SS lines, questions!

    Well, after living with stock 4-wheel manual drums for the past 4 years I've decided something needs to be done. First off, much of the brake system is still original; I've only replaced the master cylinder to a dual bowl, put on new pads, and spring kits. The system is currently filled with...

    Clutch fan, new shroud, doesn't fit!

    So I have a thermal clutch on my stang that was using a huge 5 blade fan with no shroud on a 4 core brass radiator. Decided to order a shroud one day because I heard that's the smart move - fan doesn't clear it (20" standard shroud fits the radiator fine). No problem, I'll buy a smaller clutch...

    Upgrade time! Brakes, steering, rear-end advice

    I've had my 67 coupe "finished" for several years now, won many trophies and drive many miles. Now I'd like for it to act more modern. 1) I need to do at least a switch from manual front drums to power disc brakes; however, they must fit inside my classic 14x7 magnums. I've found lots of...

    Retro Magnum500 wheels on a 67/68?

    Talking about the rims that came stock on 03/04 Mach 1 models, anyone have a pic with them on a 67 or 68 and what kind of trouble involved in getting them on? A coworker may sell me their 67 fastback which I have a pic in my mind of Legend Lime paint, these rims, and a late model Cobra engine...

    Stupid pcv question, but gotta ask!

    In the process of dressing up the engine bay a tad, and that will involve a new air cleaner assembly and changing the pcv setup on there now. Atm the righthand cover vents into an outlet on back of carb, and lefthand cover vents into outlet on bottom of current air cleaner....do both sides...

    TR3650 1-2 and/or 2-3 rough feel on engagement...

    1700+ postcount thread on this issue here, dating back to 2001 (or earlier?) What did YOU do to solve or mitigate this problem? 1) TSB fix, under warranty for many, $1650 for the rest 2) Refill with Havoline Dexron III and lower fill level to 3.0L 3) Install aftermarket shifter 4)...

    Tremec 3650 suits?

    Has anyone here sued, or do you know someone who has sued Ford Motor Co. and/or Tremec about the very annoying 1-2 and/or 2-3 clunk in the TR3650? There is a 1,700+ postcount thread on this site with owners who experience this, and a TSB released by Ford that usually fixes the issue. This TSB...

    All those leftover 06's...

    Found a Legend Lime GT still on a nearby lot - has every option and the color that I want - but I gotta work them down on that price! I have never bought a new car, heck never even bought a used car, but if I can swing it down enough I may be able to afford having some driving fun :) What do...

    Mach 1 1968 Mach 1 Concept

    First saw this pic when I was flipping through old popular science mags (Getting ads from my 67 Mustang year!) and was wow'd! Its kinda like looking at that Mustang I or Mustang II concepts they made before the 64.5 cars. Anyways, here it is for those that haven't seen before:

    03/04 Mach 1 vs. 05/06/07 GT - mechanical differences?

    Ok, I know the basics on the 2 engines. Mach 1 has a DOHC 32v 4.6L (305 advertised hp) while the new GT's sport a SOHC 24v 4.6L (300hp). I've read in a couple Mustang brochures that they substantially strengthened the new frames (05+) and I guess shaved weight by doing things like an aluminum...

    Mach 1 Special Edition Mach 1?

    Saw this 2004 in Honolulu, some differences I noted: 1) Color, is like a torchfire red 2) No hood stripe 3) Polished retro mag wheels 4) Black "Mach 1" pop-open fuel door 5) Color matched rear spoiler 6) Huge exhaust tips, seemed much larger than other Mach's

    67 Coupe FINISHED! (Well close enough)

    Took me a little over 3 years from start to finish. Start was a badly rusted (battery apron, all floorpans, rear quarters and wheel lips, torque box, fresh air intakes, more) side swiped and bondo'd, 60-80 overbored 289 that had just caught fire melting everything in the engine bay, with 3...

    1967 Hood mounted turn signals

    I swear I just read a thread about this a day or more ago and it gave me an inkling of what is wrong. Here it goes - brand new repro harness for these hood mounted turn signals, new bulbs, all other parts cleaned etc. 1) Plug it into the dual prong running out of firewall (one side needed a...

    New valve covers - question

    Engine is very newly rebuilt, but put on the boring old blue stock covers for time being. Just got some 'black wrinkled' 351 Powered by Ford covers to put on -- anything special I need to know? I should be able to reuse the gaskets as they're new, don't over tighten, grease anything special? I...

    So bummed about paintjob :(

    Ok...end of September 2005 I drop my '67 off at a local paint/body shop that was highly recommended by a friend. The shop didn't have the best facilities, and the guy didn't give me the best quote but he said if I dropped it off that week it would be first in line and hopefully finished in about...

    03-04 Mach 1, or 07 GT/CS, or...

    1) I like the Mach 1's a lot (Azure Blue), appreciate their heritage, and can find some pretty babied 03-04's around for a very decent price. Their engine and comestic touches are unique enough to make me salivate! 2) I REALLY like the new 05-06 styling and could probably pick up a Legend...

    14x7's and 67 coupe -- best tire size?

    I have a set of 14x7, 4.25" backspacing original Magnum 500's that I am planning to use on my '67 coupe (all suspension is original) once it gets back from paint! They have to be BFG Radial T/A's (RWL) for the right look ;) They make the Radial T/A's in: 205, 215, 225, 235, 245 / 60 / 14...
