    Fuel System Questions (efi Conversion)

    So now that Im beginning to run the fuel system, Ive come to a point where Im in unfamiliar territory. The fuel system will, obviously, be a complete scratch build. I bought a new stock replacement wagon sending unit since the old one was trashed anyway, external high pressure pump, and a large...

    EFI harness options

    Im in the process of gathering parts for my EFI swap (still) and had a question about the harness. Ive asked a few friends locally, and rather surprisingly none seem to have or know of any 89-93 Mustang harnesses. Ive looked in my local yards and the pickings are slim. Plenty of Crown vics...

    Pertronix info

    Im looking for info on the Pertronix systems available. I have a vintage race car that currently has a points distributor thats a little(!) tempermental, and I want to get rid of the points. I dont want an aftermarket distributor or amplifier box, so that pretty much leaves Pertronix. I had a...

    Aluminum radiator advice

    Ive been (lazily) looking for a direct fit aluminum radiator for my 65 for a while now, but havent really found what I was looking for. I got started a while ago, liked what I saw from Mustang Steve, but he stopped carrying radiators at the same time I tried to order one, so now that I forgot...

    Boss 429 heads, 460 block

    Whats the best way to run the oil lines from a 460 block to original Boss heads? In the heads I used a 1/8"npt to -4an, then a 90* fitting on that, but the 90* fitting hits the intake. There doesnt seem to be any interference between the fittings in the block and the intake but its close, so I...

    EFI conversion questions

    Im sure Ill be updating this post with a flurry of questions regarding my swap at some point, but for now just one question. Is the wiring harness and computer the same between a Mark 7 and Mustang of the same year (1990)? If so, what do I need? Im thinking basically locate the computer and...

    What timing chain do I need?

    I wiped out a flat tappet cam in my 302 a while back, probably due to improper break in and low/no zinc oil, and decided to use a stock H.O. cam with retrofit roller lifters. The timing chain had a lot more play in it that I would have expected with only a few thousand miles on it, so I want to...

    Electric Garage Heater

    This would make a great heater for a 2 car garage. Made by Q-Mark, runs on 208v, single or 3 phase. I dont know a whole lot about it, but specs can be found here: Qmark Type MUH Unit Heater then scroll down to catalog# "MUH078". This is not a cheap heater. Its a few years old, but has very...

    What color to paint intake?

    Ill be putting a gt40/explorer intake on my car in the near future, and since the original paint is beginning to peel and has turned a dull grey, I was just going to repaint it the original bright aluminum color. Until, that is, I thought about the valve covers Ill most likely use. Id like to...

    GT40 valvetrain question

    After a long time debating what heads I was going to use, I got a set of decent used gt40 (f3ze) heads for $75 complete. Ill do a little port cleanup on 'em, mill 'em, valve job, and have a decent set of heads for notta lotta dough. Ill be using a stock HO roller cam with 1.7 rockers and will...

    GT40 upper question

    I plan to inject my 65 Comet here in the near future and would like to use the gt40 manifold. My question is which one should I use? From what I can see there are 2 different manifolds for a total of 3 different inlet combinations. First is the regular gt40 manifold with the throttle body...

    Another edition of the "identify these" game!

    I picked up a set of heads recently that I was lead to believe were Trick-Flows, and after a quick look I thought they were some knock-offs because theres no logo anywhere on 'em, but after a closer look I think they may be the real deal. They came with Ferrea valves, so either theyre true TFS...

    Boss 429 rear main seal

    Is there any difference between a normal 429/460 rear main seal and one for a Boss 429? I have a boss block that Im building with a 460 crank and when I took it in to be balanced the shop said there was a difference in the rear seals.

    Boneyard electric fan

    Id like to get an electric fan, and Ive heard the best thing to get is one from a Mark VIII along with the controller/relay. The fan is a no brainer, but how much or what do I have to get as far as the wiring? Ive done some research and it seems the factory uses a 2 speed controller that works...

    Measuring piston dome and compression ratio

    Im in the planning stages of building a 460, and would like to use a set of pistons of unknown origin, but Im not exactly sure how to get the measurements I need. The pin height may not be stock (probably not), and Im not exactly sure how to measure the CC's of the dome, both of which I need of...

    Good electric die grinder?

    Ill be porting my iron gt40 heads over the winter (hopefully) and I have a good pneumatic die grinder, but at home I dont have an air compressor worth a crap, so it doesnt do me much good. Does anyone make a good electric die grinder? I wont be doing full-on race porting or anything, but I...
