    Will 05 Stang wheels fit a granada front brake conversion?

    Has anyone tried it? The wheels I want to get are 17X8 front and back. Issues is not the size, its the center section? I have a few sets of wheels around the garage, and none fit the granada rotors becuase the centers were a little too wide for the wheels to slip on. Thanks, Tony

    Painting stripes, prep question for 2 stage

    For a 2 stage, how do you do it? Do you mask the stripes, then scuff with a scotch-brite, shoot color, then clear? Or, you scuff the whole area, then mask, shoot color, then clear?

    Getting screwed for $18,000

    Here in England, the lights must be converted to meet UK specs. The garage that converted my lights wired in a bunch of relays, and extra lights to make the conversion work. This overloaded the Smart Juction box located in the passanger footwell over a period of a year. Not knowing better, I...

    Can you pull the steering colume out of the steering box?

    It a 66 coupe, that I am tearing down. Everything is off (bolts) from inside the cab, but it looks like there is something that need to be loosened on the steering box itself, so I can the shaft out of the box. Its been years since I did my 70 Eliminator, so I am a bit rusty on the mechanics...

    Shorty headers, with RPM kit installed on a 289

    Are shorty headers worth the money, if I have the stock heads? The intake and cam have been changed out with an Edelbrock RPM kit, but they left the heads stock. Has any done this swap, if so was it worth the money? I have the engine pulled at the moment, so I figure this would be the best time...

    What's the best way to get an alloy Rad in a 66

    I have been searching the threads, but I cannot seem to find the answer. I have a stock 66 set up, with the in and out of the radiator on the passenger side. The radiator just blew, and I would like to go aluminum. I see a lot guys talking about Northern radiators, but they all seem to be...

    Best bang for the buck, 66 suspension shot

    I just picked up my 66 Coupe', needless to say, when you make a turn in the corners, the wheels are way off. Tires are only 4 months old, and they are both bald on the inside of the tread. Should I go ahead and rebuild keeping the orgiinal design, or go with some other suspension package. I like...

    60 over 68 302 block, over heating issues?

    I have been out of the classic Ford scene for a while. From what I remember, a 60 over block had issue with over heating, is that true? Or has my memery failed me:) I have a chance to pick up a 302 with a fresh 60 over bore here in England, but before I make that leap, I wanted to ask you guys...

    289 hp limit?

    I have tried to search this, but I keep coming up blank. I know the more modern 302s buy the farm around 500, does that ring true with the 289s? I am thinking of going forged stroker with a T76 set up in my 66.
