Took the 06 GT in for an alignment today. The dealer called and said the mis-alignment is due to worn lower ball joints and it'll cost $500 to replace them along with the lower control arms. SOmething stinks here and it's not my upper lip. Ball joints do not wear out after 42K miles. My 89...
I have a good wide ratio small block Toploader to sell. The ID tag indicates it was from a 68 Mustang or Cougar with a 289. It will work in any other application using a small block wide ratio Toploader. Shifter mount holes are all the way to the rear on the tailhousing. Good condition, no wear...

:rlaugh:I'm going to be around Lubbock Wednesday afternoon, y'all going to be free ? I don't know if I'll have time to kill yet though. :shrug: Got a drop in Amarillo in the morning and the rest goes to Lubbock.
:D That **** don't work when you don't run a PCV system.:rlaugh: :stupid: Did this on the 331 in my 77 Comet. Been battling an oil leak at front and rear of the pan. Changed the Felpro 1 pc gasket yesterday to the early pan 1 pc gasket. Got it all buttoned back up, let the extra RTV I put on...
Which box are you using to replace the factory spark box? I'm using the stock Duraspark system in my 77 Comet, but so far, I'm not at all satisfied with it, compared to the Pertronix II and Crane XR-1 I've used in my 89 Ranger. I did pick up some better results with a wire swap ( to Ford Racing...
Got em posted on my photobucket site http://s125.photobucket.com/albums/p53/baddad457/ The front spindles were taken for a conversion of a 4 lug 6 cylinder car to V8. I wanted to get a pic of the rear cover, but had no way to remove the muffler blocking it.
Ok, maybe not a classic Stang, but it is related. It's 26*F outside here in south Louisiana. I just went out to fire up the 89 V8 Ranger to drive to work. Motor is a carbed Explorer equivalent roller 5.0, topped with a Ford Racing A321 intake and a Holley 570 Street Avenger carb.(bought used off...
I'm working on swapping a 9" into my 77 Comet. I'm using the rear drums from an 81 Bronco (full size) same brakes used on F150's. But I though I could just use drums for an early 80's F100, but apparently those got smaller 10" drums. I need 11 x 2.5 drums with a 5 x4.5 bolt pattern. Anyone got...
Never thought I'd see this but a buddy has a wrecked 1956 Mustang coupe in his yard with a 5 lug integral carrier (7.5"?) rear under it. And yea, it's the original rear, not something someone replaced the 4 lug rear with. So much for the 4 lug only 6 banger Stangs. :shrug:
There were a couple of you interested in this carb a few weeks back. It's listed in the Stangnet classifieds in the induction/fuel section. $150 shipped to anywhere in the lower U.S 48 states. Just pulled it off the 5.0 in my 89 Ranger.
Just got back from a 3000 mile trip from Louisiana to Colorado and back towing the aluminum utility trailer I built for the Stang last year. Fuel mileage averaged 23 mpg. Made the same trip last year with no trailer and the car loaded to the gills with camping stuff, ice chest, me, the wife...
I drive trucks and always on the lookout for interesting cars. Two days ago I spotted a fairly intact Mustang II Cobra II in a junkyard in Abilene Texas at the junction of I-20 business and Loop 322, east side of town. You can clearly see it from the Loop 322 overpass. Just figured someone here...
Need one for the 331 going in the 77 Comet. The contact point is the main stud nuts on the rear main cap. I tried a 7 qt 68 Ford pickup pan but have screwed it up trying to clearance it. It had better clearance than the car 5 qt pan. All the aftermarket deep or otherwise larger front sump pans...
