    pedal support

    I'm working on installing the Mustang Steve cable clutch in my '67. I spent over 2 hours of my day banging on the cowl floor so I can get the clutch pedal in but I'm not having much luck. Would it be easier to take out the pedal support and get the pedals installed then reinstall the support...

    release bearing Q

    I'm putting a cable clutch setup w/T5 in my '67 and thought you guys could help. When installing the release bearing into the fork does it go all the way into the clips or is it supposed to pivot on the hump? I put it in all the way and can't get the tranny in because it doesn't line up. The...

    Cam choices

    I should be getting my home ported heads back from the machine shop in the next day or 2 and I figured I may as well replace the stock cam while I'm at it. Obviously since these are "stock" heads I know I can't get too crazy. I just need something to tie me over for the next couple years until...

    If it's not 1 thing it's another

    My z bar is coming loose on the engine side. I can pop it back in but it won't stay after I push in the clutch a few times. What is causing this and what do I need to fix it?

    E7 heads

    I just got a pair of heads off a '90 GT with 80,000 miles on them for free. If I do some DIY porting and get them milled down ( how much would that take to get to what I have now? ) would it be worth my while? Current heads are '67 289 2V. Also, what would be a good cam with this and my...

    clutch pedal travel

    Last fall I put in a T-5 with the original clutch linkage. I used the T-5 bell method and also put in a diaphram style clutch. I recently got the clutch adjusted so it shifts smooth but I only have about 4" of pedal travel. Does anyone know what the heck I did wrong here?

    bad vibrations

    Recently I installed a T5 and then took it to a shop to have my new rear installed. Everything is new or freshly rebuilt, except the axles. After they put in the rear and went for a test drive they noticed a vibration at approx. 55 mph on up. I had them take out the driveshaft so I could have...

    reverse lights w/T5

    OK, this is my last little thing I want to get done this year so I can just hop in it next spring and enjoy it. It's getting cold here...highs in the 20's on turkey day. How do I hook up my reverse lights to the T5 switch? Can I use the existing wires from the old switch? Do I really need...

    Spacer blocks

    I just recently had my new rear put in and my mechanic is concerened with the spacer blocks that go between the leafs and the housing. Currently these blocks are about 2" (I didn't take measurements). What size if any spacer blocks did a '67 coupe come with? I'd like it to be back to stock...

    What the heck!

    So I thought that it would be a breeze to finish up my T5 swap but I was wrong. When I push in the clutch it doesn't come back. I guess the question is what makes the pedal push back out? It's been so long since I took it apart and I'm pretty sure I put everything back together right but...

    T5 fluid

    OK, my car's ready to roll...I just need to put some fluid in the tranny. Problem is I'm not sure what kind I should get and how much to put in. I was also told I can put the fluid in where the shifter goes. Is this true?

    distributor gear Q

    Was looking into going with the Duraspark dizzy/HEI module setup. I can get a free dizzy from an "85 GT. Would I need to swap gears and if so what's involved in the process?

    Cleaning advice

    I bought a bellhousing out of an '87 GT for my T-5 swap and this thing is filthy. What's the best way to get it to look like new again?

    For those who did a T5 swap

    I'm looking to get a T5. Was just wondering what bell housing people have used (existing vs. T5). It seems like useing the T5 housing is easier, stronger, but it's 1" deeper. I read that the adapter plates aren't very strong and harder to install. I would like to avoid having the driveshaft...

    Gt40 head info

    I'm goign to go to a huge car show and swap meet tomorrow and am going to look for some GT40 heads. How are these identified...don't want to get ripped off. Also what seems to be a reasonable price for these. I'll probably get the iron heads since I'm not too concerned about weight.

    What the heck!

    I noticed some ticking coming from the passenger side of the engine (289) so I adjusted the rockers at TDC per Chiltons manual. After I did this the ticking has gone away but now it is running rough on this side of the engine. The engine is stock except the intake and carb. I took the car for...
