    reproduction control arms

    Anyone using or seen the reproduction stock-style upper & lower control arms? These come with ball joints, bushings, and the cross-shaft for the upper arm. My front end needs a complete overhaul, so I'm debating whether to use the reproduction arms, or clean-up my old arms and add new Moog ball...

    a few pics

    I went on a mini road trip last weekend and thought I'd share a few pics of the car. These shots were taken near Lytton BC, about 3 hours northeast of Vancouver. On the way back from the drive I went through a radar trap doing well over the speed limit, but the cop didn't pull me over. He...

    13" tires

    I just noticed on the Cooper tire website that they're discontinuing their Cobra GT tires in the 195/70R13 and 185/70R13 size. This was one of the few manufacturers left offering a decent performance tire for the factory Mustang II rims. Anyone looking for new 13" tires may want to order them soon.

    T5 is in...headers & subframe connectors too

    I finally got my car back last week. It's been in the shop getting the T5 conversion done, plus a bunch of other stuff. It seemed there was one delay after another but the wait was worth it. Here's what got done: T5 conversion - rebuilt T5 from 89 Mustang, using the MII bellhousing - new...

    Now I know why the V8 clutch is Mustang II-specific.

    I started a thread a few weeks back about my T5 conversion. It's still in process and has once again been delayed. The clutch kit I'm using is RAM 98501 which fits 76-79 V8 Mustangs. Unfortunately the clutch kit was packaged with the wrong pressure plate. I was sent the pressure plate from an...

    T-5 conversion

    I'm in the process of swapping out the RAD4 for a T-5...well, actually my mechanic is in the process of doing this (I decided to farm out this project). Since I'm using the Mustang II bellhousing I had my T-5 customized with the longer 94-95 Mustang input shaft. But even with this extra length...

    Roundup pics

    Below is a link to some pictures from the Mustang Roundup shown in Bellevue, WA today. The good news: I got first place in the 74-78 category. The bad news: there were only two people in that category. There were a few other IIs at the show, but they were in either the modified or judged...

    New motor is running!

    I fired up the new motor on Saturday...surprisingly it fired up almost instantly. I would've posted this earlier but there were a few bugs that I wanted to work out first. It turns out these were fairly minor things like timing, idle adjustment, and re-jetting the carb. Now I'm pretty happy with...

    OK, who's going to Mustangs Northwest Roundup?

    I've got my new motor installed & will be starting it up this weekend. As long as there are no problems I'll be driving the car down to the show on July 17.

    Engine rebuild pics

    I've been collecting parts for about 2 years for the day I would rebuild the engine in my car. I finally started on the project a few weeks ago. At first I took a bunch of pictures to help me figure out how everything goes back together. Then I started taking pictures of the re-assembly. Figured...

    Gates

    I called the auto parts store for a power steering pressure hose today. The guy looks in his catalog then says "Huh, that's weird, Gates doesn't have any listing for 74-78 Mustangs. Sorry, I can't help you." So I checked the Gates website and they do show part numbers for the MII. I called the...

    Big snake

    After getting my King Cobra repainted last year I wasn't sure if I wanted to put all the decals back on. So at the time I only put on the hood scoop, door, and spoiler decals. Now I've decided to get the hood snake. The pinstriping is still a bit much for my taste so I'm leaving it off...for now...
