    Sticky suggestion: Header Thread w/pics, model #s, and mods

    I've got a suggestion that could hopefully save a bunch of us money, time, and aggravation. I'm researching shorty headers right now, and I find that there are a bunch of threads with descriptions, parts without specific part numbers, and general advice, but relatively few with searchable...

    Steeroids and headers - Hedman 88300 doesn't work - shorties?

    Hey all, (especially 68EFIvert) Tried the Hedman 88300 on the recommendation of the Steeroids site and another Steeroids owner, but they were a no-go. The shop is recommending shorty headers that go far back before they go down. It looks like JBA is the safest bet. Does anyone else have...

    16x8 wheels, or 16" in general? Show me your tires!

    Hey all, (re-posted from VMF, where I didn't get any replies w/pics) Sorry for all the gratuitous tech below, but I'm thinking out loud too and this might help other for reference when searching. Just post your 16x8 tire pics and specs! Looking for performance tire options for a 16x8...

    Spindles to help with R&P, rack and pinion reduced turning radius? CSRP/Granada?

    Hey all, (using both r&p and rack and pinion for easy search) I know this has been discussed before in threads, but I'm not sure if Degins' granada-based swap helps the rack and pinion issue, or if there are other disc brake conversions that have a spindle that has a shorter tie rod hold...

    31" radiators thread - battery relocation mandatory.

    This came out of my experience with a Summit/Northern radiator that will NOT work on a '70 (or any pre-69-70 year, I assume there is less hood clearance up front due to the flatter hood rather than the curved '69-70 hood? The issue is that a 31" radiator is too wide to sit on the strut rod...

    Anyone with Steeroids and a Cobra T-pan, 302/351?

    Hey all, I'm looking for someone with experience on how a 302 or 351 Cobra T-Pan fits with a Steeroids rack. I've done research on their webpage - it looks like the big block t-pan has issues that require using washers on the motor mounts - but haven't found anything definite for a small...

    Finally got my Kwiklifts set up - ceiling <8 feet

    Hey all, Finally got my Kwiklift ramps set up in my short and narrow garage space. These are going to allow me to do a few things: 1. In their "lay flat" mode, I won't scrape my exhaust when I enter the garage - I go up from the sidewalk to get into my garage, then it quickly levels...

    Blueprint crate engines from Summit/Blueprint? 347/425hp/410tq for $5k-6k

    Hey all, I know there will be some "you get what you pay for" responses, but some of these crate engines are less than you'll pay for an aftermarket short block. I know they're not blueprinted, so the name is a bit misleading, but some of them seem like a terrific value, especially the...

    Crate Engine Builder wants me to go F.A.S.T. EFI over Mass-Flo . . .

    Hey all, Not naming any names here, but a certain crate engine builder has my block and heads assembled and is recommending the F.A.S.T. system over Mass-Flo, mainly I think for cost reasons, ease of installation, and tunability, but I picked this builder mainly because they are an...

    Hey all, Check out the link. I sold my front brake kit and spindle when I switched to a full Wilwood kit, haven't yet sold the rear. (long story; couldn't use a parking brake with my rear suspension unless I went Wilwood) Basically, this kit is less than half the price of new, and has...

    408w aluminum block, Mass-Flo EFI, ordered from TandL

    Hey all, Finally bit the bullet and got my dream engine ordered from TandL / T&L. Well, my crazy-but-not-insane dream engine. Dream engine would probably be a Roush 402IR-AL. I don't have the build sheet yet, just a build sheet from an original quote over a year ago, but they estimate...

    '70 drum spindles FS, freshly painted, $175+ship, $150 local cash

    Hey all, Sold my Baers (switched to Wilwood all around because of clearance issues out back with parking brake bracket) to my mustang shop's detail guy, and he didn't need the spindles, so he cleaned them up for sale. These are what you need if you are doing a Baer/Cobra disc brake swap...

    The Wilwood Superlite Brake Kit Thread

    Hey all, First I went with the Baer Track 13" kit, and ended up with a parking/e-brake issue with my EvM 3-Link rear suspension. Basically, no way to mount the e-brake with that system. I had no way of knowing the EvM would interfere, as I did the brake upgrade first. I liked the ease of...

    Wilwood Superlite rear internal drum disc worth it?

    Hey all, Pretty simple question, hopefully provoking lots of opinions. As I can't continue to use my Baer rear parking brake due to clearance issues with my EvM kit, some other guys here have turned me on to internal drum rear discs like Wilwood. The question is this - should I go with...

    Cromoly full floater 9" housing from Schreiner, $799?

    Hey all, I'm researching, but in no rush, 9" rear housings, and this caught my eye in another thread. It looks like a pretty good deal - 31 spline axles, 9" housing, cromoly tubes, full-floater. They are custom widths as well, so I could fine tune wheel/tire spacing in the rear to get it...

    Hertz Shelby GT-H review and rental experience

    well, I finally did it - rented the GT-H. I thought I was getting the convertible, since that is what is pictured on the site, but if you actually look at the text I was renting the coupe. Here are a few notes if you're thinking about it: 1. You have to fly in to an airport. For me, that...

    Hey all, The GF and I were on a road trip down to SoCal last week, and we got a great shot of 3 S197 red convertibles in a row. The first two looked rented, the third I pulled over to let get in line for this shot and it was a different red, brighter, looked like the owner owned it...
