    Popping in to say Hi!

    Hi Guys, just been reading through some of the threads I used to start and geepers I used to talk about some crazy stuff lol! I wish I visited here more often but working and getting into other interests (shooting and my Harley) I don't have much time or brainwaves to think about yet something...

    What's been going on?

    Hi everyone, it's been a long while since I've had anything to do with the forum. My dreams of building my dream 69 sportsroof are on long hold because of other priorities (dreams I've had for longer + saving for house, etc). So what's been going on here? Is Eleanor still haunting the place and...

    Is it possible to build a NEW classic?

    With the dynacorn 67 bodies coming out, and as they say on their website 69 bodies in a few years, and my own life leading me to wanting to build my own classic / street machine as a project not a driver / work on it, I have come up with a question. Would it be possible to get all "new"...

    Hollow-stemmed valves

    Anyone heard of, thought about, or used hollow-stemmed or hollow-stemmed, Sodium-filled valves? I think if you combine them with beehive springs, and the smaller retainer that comes along with them, even in moly, not Titanium, you'll have less valvetrain mass than by using conventional double...

    Bellhousings

    Ok I didn't want to intrude on another thread, but it got me thinking. Am I correct in saying 351 (C and W) and 302 blocks will use the same bellhousing? What is a 6-bolt block, and what is the alternative to a 6-bolt? Why are 78 - 93 302/351 different to 5.0L (1994 - 95) scattersheilds...

    What is a title?

    I know it's not Mustang specific (I think) but I'm from the other side of the planet and when I have bought cars it has been enough to have a piece of paper with seller and buyer details (I put down driver's license numbers too), amount of $, and vehicle identification numbers on it. So I've...

    Drivetrain efficiency

    Who here thinks about drivetrain efficiency? I see a lot of threads on strokers and other things to make the engine more powerful but I'm also interested in getting more of that power to the rubber/bitumen interface. In my search I've come up with aluminium and carbon fibre driveshafts...

    Tint

    You guys know those glasses that get darker as you encounter more light (photochromic they're called), is that same technology being used in car tint yet? Man that would be sweet - dark tint on really bright days and at night it goes back to clear.

    Paint colour

    Which of these colours looks best on the bike, and which would look best on a 69 sportsroof? I'm stuck between loving the beautiful polished hardwood look of the darker one, but disliking it because it is a little too brown, and loving the other colour because it is so vibrant. How hard...

    What is this in the passenger dash pod?

    WTF is it? Also, I'm be seriously looking into buying this car http://www.justmustangs.com.au/forsale/ - #145, the brown and grey 69 with the mexican rake. What questions should be asked about it? I actually wouldn't be able to see the car before I bought it, see it's an importer in another...

    Cost of shipping.

    Is $400 far too much to ship a pedal hanger from the US to Australia? I got some aluminium skulls sent over, for about 20 bucks shipping, and they weighed about 4lb all up. Surely the hanger isn't that bulky or heavy?

    Brake Light Switches - fluid type.

    Can these brake light switches like the ones on this page http://www.painlesswiring.com/webcatalog/cat-switches.htm be used for a hydraulic clutch? Would there be enough pressure in the clutch fluid for the low-pressure version of the switch? You could make a neat "will only start with clutch...

    Oil pumps and oiling

    It's been a while since I posted anything to exercise your minds, and I have a query. I've heard high-volume oil pumps are a strain on the distributor gear, leading to increased wear, etc, but would it be possible to run a HV pump with an external line plumbed from the return line of a...

    Valve Covers and multiple coils

    I didn't want to butt into the other valve cover thread going on, so here we are. Say you were going to use a distributorless ignition system with a coil per cylinder run in a wasted spark setup, would it be ok to screw the coils onto the valve covers? Would it be ok / would there be enough...

    90 degree V8s with 180 degree cranks

    Ferrari is running them, and I know it's in the realm of "Not really classic tech, more current tech" but I was wondering how hard it would be (discounting money from how hard things are to do) to get a crank for a Windsor motor made in 180 degree throws. Why does Ferrari run 180, and not...

    Lifters / Valvetrain - not just Hyd VS Solid

    Hi all, I've been reading up on lifters, solid, hyd, cam profiles for both, with and without rollers. Now it got me thinking about people recommending higher ratio rockers - now my theory is this: Say you want .5 lift on your valve. If you use a 1.5 ratio rocker, the lifter and pushrod...

    Fuel

    I want to know the good oil (haha pun) on fuel availability. I know prices are rocketing, and I can somewhat deal with that and hope they are somewhat reasonable when I finally my project but I'm worried that fuel is going to be all gone by then. Is there going to be enough fuel around in 10 -...

    Making a gearstick.

    I'm in the process of making a custom gearstick and some knobs - here's the idea: I have some aluminium skulls (they're about 3-1/4" by 2-3/4" round) that I've lightened and am going to drill out as much as possible to lighten, and use a rubber cylinder to fill the cavity, drill the rubber...

    67 GT500 Scoop on 69 Fastback

    I was thinking about how the 67 GT500 scoop (not the Eleanor one) would look on a 69 hood. Would it look good? Anyone got any pics of that or something similar?

    Radiator Tranny Cooler

    I did a bit of a search but came up with nothing. For this topic, say an electric fan cooled aluminium radiator with a 160* thermostat is being used on a 400hp 331. Temp range is winter: 40*F coldest and summer: 105*F absolute MAX. What problems would one uncover if they tried to use a...
