    Finding motor year

    My 302 in my car is not original. I'd like to find out what year the motor is for my own knowledge, and to get an idea of the horsepower rating. Can I find anything out by looking at the vin stamped on the intake manifold? Here is what is stamped on top, all I'm looking for is the year it was...

    First impressions/progress so far

    Well, I finally got it on the road today. Here is a little history. The car was picked up from a guy that lives about 5 miles from my house. I passed the car about every day going to school for 2 years. At the beginning of June, I really noticed that it was just sitting there rotting in his...

    Getting closer!

    Hey guys, I've been working on this for about a month now, picked it up for 3,000. Since its needs paint, I started with the interior. Stripped it completely, as you can see in the pictures. Then I did everything from scratch with most new parts, and did it the right way. Taking it apart I...

    Another way to attach door panels?

    Hey guys, as some of you know, the cardboard backing on the door panels doesnt hold up very well once you pull it off. Mine is all ripped up where the clips go, and getting them to get back in there, and let alone line up, will be impossible. I have gotten about 3 or 4 in there, and they are...

    Door not shutting

    Hey guys on my 73 'vert...heres the deal, the door used to shut fine. Now its not. The two "clamps" or whatever you would call them will not open up to accept the knob on the body of the car. You cant force them up with a screwdriver, nor will locking/unlocking the door. Unlocking or locking...

    Thinking of pulling the motor...

    Hey guys I'm thinking of pulling the motor to freshen it up a bit...this would be my first time pulling a motor, and the biggest job I've attempted. So far, most I've done was change a couple headgaskets, but nothing this deep into the motor. How hard is this? Probably really simple on these...

    What year motor?

    Hey guys, I ran the vin on my Mustang and it turns out it came out of the factory with the 351 4v, 266hp. Was this a rare motor or something? Anyways, somewhere along the line it was changed to a 302 :notnice:, but in trying to figure out the horsepower(since a 302 changed from year to year)...

    Repairing plastic dash peices

    Hey guys, I'm redoing my interior with new carpet, seats, and panels. The dash was ok, I just took it apart and re-sprayed everything black with Krylon plastic fusion flat black. That stuff works amazing, the dash looks brand new, and hardly spraypainted. However, some of the dash peices are...

    Dash wiring...interior wiring

    I'm starting to put my interior back together, and realizing the person before me hacked the **** out of this car. First, there are purple wires that run under the sill plate on the passenger side, and driver side. On the driver side, they go back into where the convertible top goes. On the...

    Headers and powersteering drop bracket

    Let me start off by saying I am incredibly unbelveibly pissed at Summit Racing. Personally I will NEVER order from them again. They seem unwilling to help, and very uninforming. I ordered a headerback exhaust last week. When it came, it didnt match up to my headers. They never told me it...

    Couple questions

    Hey guys, I got a couple quick questions. I ordered a Summit Racing exhaust for my 73, and went to put it on tonight. The flange on the new exhaust is gigantic, over 4 inches. Compared to the stock headers, it literally goes over the header, in no way shape or form is this exhaust going to...
