    72 engine and tranny swap question

    I want to upgrade my '72. It has the stock 250 inline six with a 3 speed manual transmission. I don't want to do anything too crazy. Planning on just a stock or mild 302. I do want to upgrade the transmission though. Again, sort of a budget build so it will more than likely be a stock 5...

    71-73 color questions

    Okay, trying to restore my girl a little bit and I need some info. Under the hood: Strut tower braces and hood latch assembly. I would assume black, but mine have a blueish tint to them. Some sort of slurry color? Not sure. Also: On the back of the car, the black piece between the tail...

    need interior shots of a 71-73 Hardtop

    I just bought a '72 hardtop last week. It's in really good shape, but does have it's problems. Right now I'm trying to get the interior correct. The rear dash is missing something. It's just a cardboard shelf. I'm not sure if there is a pad of some sort that goes on top of it? Also, in the...

    Can this be done

    My friend wants to throw a stroker kit in his Lincoln MVIII. Can the 4.6L 32V be bored .073 over to make it a 5.1L?

    Looking for 350 swap advice

    Now, before all of the un-educated flames start flying, I just want to say a few things. We all love Mustangs, we wouldn't be here if we didn't. Mustangs are cars. Cars break. Not everybody can afford or has the resources to fix them with the 'appropriate' parts. So instead of letting these...

    selling my turbo set-up

    I might be getting a good deal on another project car so I'm going to be selling my turbo set-up. I've got one complete block, one bare block w/crank and pistons. I've got 3 ecms (have to check on what ones they are.) Wiring harness. I've got an A4ld that could use a rebuild and a T-5 that...

    My buddy has a '95 stang. He wants to do some paint work. We can't figure out for the life of us how to remove the side vents on the rear quarters. Any hints?

    T-5 manual

    Anyone got one or know where I can get one? There are all sorts of them on eBay, but they are all on CD or .pdf. I'm looking for a good 'ole paperback. Unless you guess think the eBay route would work fine, just print it out (70 some pages!)

    Since I didn't buy a new stang

    I finally got my '88 vert out of storage. I'm going to repull the engine. I don't think I did the swap right the first time I tried (too little experience, too much frustration, too little patience.) I know I have stuff wired wrong, because when I have it key on engine off, the oil pressure...

    Might be buying a stang

    I might be buying another stang. On Sunday I'm going to look at a '72 coupe. It has a 302 and automatic tranny. The guy only wants $900 for it. He says it has a fuel system problem. It runs, but if you give it too much gas, it'll cut out. Should be pretty easy to figure out. But I've got...

    Manual tranny question

    Okay, so my buddy bought a '95 V6 Mustang last week. This week, the transmission went out on him. I still had the T-5 I pulled from an '89 4 cylinder lying around. I believe they are the same tranny just different bellhousing. Am I right on this?

    rebuilding my engine

    Okay, so I've decided to rebuild a turbo block for my car (88 lx vert). I've already done the swap, I just want a fresh engine. Any recommendations? I'd like to supe it up a bit, but not too much. She's still only going to be a street beast. Any recommendations on brand of parts is welcome too.

    tranny swap question

    Alright. I'm to the point of removing the pedal assembly from the donor car. I've got the four nuts off the firewall. One nut and one screw off the top part. Everything unplugged. Is this where I just pull as hard as I can to get the brake pedal out? It doesn't look like there is anything...

    4.6 to 327

    A buddy of mine has a 4.6L in his stang and he wants to bore it out to fit 327 pistons. We've looked around and can't seem to find any kits for this. Any suggestions?

    crank question

    When I got my turbo engine for my swap, I was initially going to keep the auto tranny that I had. The motor was from a manual so I had to remove the pilot bearing. Prob was that I didn't have a puller so I used a die grinder. Yeah, I know what you're thinking. I did end up taking off a...
