    1969 Turbo Mustang Fastback Pro-Touring

    The recent changes to our EU import taxation, inspection and registration of classic and modified cars, means that the GT2 has now become to expensive (for me) to import and register in Denmark. So here it comes... Ultimate pro-touring Mustang FOR SALE The project stands as shown in the latest...

    Temp gauge reads wrong?!?

    Ran out of things to try: I've swapped a water temp gauge for an Autometer electrical one, sensor sits in the intake as usual. Ran wires to +12V ignition lead in the plug to the dash/gauges, ground to point behind dash, dash lighting and used the old original wire out to the sensor in the...

    Wheel welding in San Diego or LA?

    Need a place that can widen a set of 1-piece aluminum wheels, preferably in San Diego but anywhere reasonably close will do. :shrug: Weldcraft is a good place, but not exactly local.

    T&L Engines F-up...

    Can you believe it, a friend of mine got a brand new stroker from T&L Engines. Ran less than 60 miles on it, took it apart and found this: :eek: :eek: It would seem obvious to check what way your headgaskets are put in? Mayby have a look at the little arrow that says "FRONT"? :Damnit:

    What manual transmission? +600 ft.lb.

    I've been searching the net for comparisons and associated pricing but am not really close to a decision. We're building a motor that will be capable of over 600 ft.lb. torque and I prefer a 5 or 6 speed manual trans. It's for a 69 and tunnel modification is OK. We have a fresh Toploader that we...

    Brakes w/o booster?

    http://www.cncbrakes.com/sra.asp?grp=sra&subgrp=d&series=240&subseries= NPD has them in the catalog. Says that you don't need a power brake booster? I like the dual cylinder bias adjustability, but exactly why is a booster not needed? :shrug: Will I need half the pedal pressure of an...

    Opinions: R302, Dart, World or Boss

    So, about to have a new motor built. Personal experience only includes stock and FRPP 315W Sportsman. For a 8.2" deck based 331-363 there are several choices at about the same price: FRPP R302 FRPP Boss Dart Sportsman World Products Man O'War (fine product, but the name sucks!) This is...

    Alt. 1st & 2nd gears in a C4?

    An odd question: I roadrace my Mustang with a JW Performance C4 with manual reverse valvebody and a Pro Ratchet shifter. I use the C4 as a poor mans sequential box, so far without ruining anything, and with the shifter relocated back, left and up it's really sweet and fast. 3rd is perfect for...

    I'm looking for a 69 Fastback in good condition to add to the stable. If you have a "restomod" in "Pro Touring" style or close to that you are willing to part with send me a PM. Nearly finished rolling projects also relevant. We're talking anything like stroker, EFI, centrifulgal/screw blower...

    Correct wheel stud part#?

    I'm swapping front brakes to 13" Cobras using MustangSteves brackets. Last night I had a really hard time getting the hubs of the 69 front drums I have found for the project, and I ended up cutting the drums & studs. When looking at new wheel studs from ARP, Moser etc. I cant figure out what to...

    Orlando shops?

    Heading to Orlando for a convention in late february. Last time around I visited the more obvious places like NPD in Ocala as well as the Don Garlits Museum. As for shopping other car stuff, especially race related, I was a bit lost and only managed to find one good Speed Shop. Does anyone...

    Your thoughts: Panhard bar & Ron Morris coil overs?

    Well, I've been at the local track a few times in my 69. It REALLY works well with the current setup and tires. I'm running with the M3's and the Porsches, much to their disliking. :p I'm trying out a set of Kumho race tires next time out and Cobra disk brakes will go in at the same time...

    Modern seats with classic look (pics)

    Had these pointed out to me by a member here: http://www.bf-torino.de/BF-Sitze/bf-sitze.html All in German but the short of it is that they make a range of seats for 60-70 sports cars. This is how my 912R's turned out in the 69 HT: Very high quality, excellent service and prompt...

    M/T Drag Radial tire pressure?

    So I'm finally going racing on my first ever set of drag radials. It's a pair of M/T Drag Radials in 275/50/15 on a 69 Mustang Hardtop. What would be the right tire pressure for them on the track? Info if it matters: I have 5-leaf rear springs and Competition Engineering Slide-a-Links, 3.70...
