    2011 Mustang V6 Chirping

    I purchased a 2011 V6 Mustang about a week ago. It has 82k miles. I noticed sitting at a stop light a couple days ago it has a chirping sound. At first I thought it was a belt. But today I went to check it out and found that the chirping only happens while I'm pressing the clutch pedal. So my...

    I'm wondering if anyone has experience using hood pins and no latch assembly. Where is the best points to mount them? What are the best kind to use? Problems with them breaking, coming out, etc?

    65 Mustang Rear Brake Tab Location

    I'm missing my rear brake tab for the hard line to axle flex line. I was wondering if someone could get me some measurements to figure out where to put it. I'll take anything but if you could get me some triangulated points where the arrows are that would be cool.

    65 Fastback Vent Assemblies

    Hello All, Its been a bit, I'm finally putting my Mustang back together and I'm curious if anyone has or can get me some pictures of how to assemble the fastback vents. I'm trying to figure out where the long and short studs go for holding the grills and deflectors in place and mounting them.

    My 65' GT Update.

    Hey everyone its been awhile. The 65 is coming along, so I figured I would stop in and give an update. I got the engine running. I built a stand and fired it up in memory of Shelby on the day he died. It runs nice. The freeze plugs leak a little, so I will have to go back and fix that. But...

    15x8 Wheels, 245/60r15 Tires On A 65. Is It Possible?

    Has anyone gotten 245/60R15's under the rear on a 65 mustang? I know I would have to roll the lips on the quarter panels, but could I get away without cutting the wheel wells? I am having the rear axle built for me, so the wheel placement can be where ever I want. I'm hoping to keep it at stock...

    Suspension Mustangs Plus Suspension Super Starter Kit?

    I need pretty much everything for the suspension on my 65 GT. I was looking into the Mustang Plus starter kit. I was wondering if anyone has used this before, and what your thoughts are on it? I would like better handling from my car, but at the moment I don't want to spend much more than it...

    Oil Galley Plug Blew Out

    So finally after many questions and much research I had finished building my 289. I built a test stand, checked everything and hit the starter button. After a little trouble shooting and some tuning she would fire up with not even a half turn of the starter. She sounded sweet. During my...

    I Need the Drivers Side A-Pillar Drip Rail from a 65/66

    I already posted this in the WTB section, but its kind of an odd part so I would just like to ask here also. I need the drivers side drip rail from a 1965/66 a-pillar. Mine was ruined. I don't need the molding, just the rail itself. If someone has the whole a-pillar from a parts car I will take...

    Opinions on Engine Breather Systems

    I would like some opinions on engine breathers systems. Is setting a PCV system worth it? Should I go with the standard breathers or set up a PCV system? My concerns are about engine life and cleanliness, in the bottom end and the intake.

    Checking Pushrod Length

    I have been reading how-to's on checking pushrod length and I just want to double check things. I have hydraulic lifters in my car. I can't check length with them because they are flat. So I have to get a solid lifter to take its place while checking. How am I sure that the solid lifter will...

    Distributors - I'm kind of stumped

    Ok, I'm wondering how I go about choosing a distributor. Am I making them out to be more complicated then they are? Is there some formula to it? I've got a 289, slightly modified but still running stock heads.

    Pulleys and Brackets

    So I'm trying to figure out what I want to do about pulleys and I have a few questions. My engine came with a 3 groove crank pulley and no belts. What are they all for? As far as I know I have the alt, water, and AC. I figured the alt and water pump both use the same belt. Which leaves another...

    Sharing My Project - 1965 Mustang GT

    I started this project when I was 15/16 years old. Its hard telling just when it all got going because it was around 10 years ago. Yup, I've been working on this car for 10 years and its only this far. Everyday life mixed with being a kid, going to school, and side projects have kept it from...

    65' Stang with a 68' Shelby Hood

    Does anyone have pictures of a 65 Mustang with a 68 shelby hood? I found a few searching on google but none have been finished, they are all just a gel coat hood thrown on a car so you get an idea of what it looks like. I would like to see what a nice finished version looks like.

    Harmonic Balancer Problem

    So I have run into a slight problem with my early style 289. The harmonic balancer I bought doesn't clear my timing cover. I bought it before I knew how different this engine could be to the later style 289. So I never thought to be so cautious of it, it fit the crankshaft so I was happy. So...
