    I`ve been hearing about Mustang 2 front end conversions for years, I finally found a car REALLY cheap, $250, it has a v-6 motor, auto transmission, 4 lug wheels, rack and pinion power steering, and a lazer straight body with no dings at all. I figure worst case I can take the motor and tranny...

    Engine 429, I Found 2 Of Them, But I Don`t Know What They Are Worth.

    1 is in an old firetruck and the other is being used a pump for the same fire station. What should I offer these guys for these? And the motor being used as the pump, will it be ok for a car? These are good solid running engines and I`d hate to let them get away.

    Front Blinkers Wiring Issue

    Having apparently lost my mind and my wiring diagram for my 65, I finally got to the point where I got the front blinkers mounted back on the car. Besides the plug containing the 2 wires thats pretty obvious where it goes, where does the third wire need to go to? I`ll post some pics if need be.

    Installing hood pins

    It appears they go where the current hood bumpers are now. I`m curious if when I stick them in the holes where the hood bumpers are now, it looks like they`ll be leaning forward a little. With the hood closing from the direction it swings down from, I`m not sure it`ll work that way, anyway...
