    3V pistons into a 4V motor

    I found a smokin' deal on a set of forged 3V pistons. Will they work in a 4V motor? Specs are the same except for the top. I thought I could just notch them for valve clearance?

    anybody tried the Total Cost Involved front suspension?

    Ccumbe- don't avoid the 32V based on my experience. It's a great engine. I had 2 basic problems and both are easily avoided. TCI didn't make mod motor mounts at the time I bought the kit, so I had to fabricate mounts. The critical issue was that I bought a bad motor. I got a low mileage...

    anybody tried the Total Cost Involved front suspension?

    happy with my TCI IFS Well, I finished a TCI on my 65 fastback a few months ago and I love it! Handles great (coilovers) and the brakes are awesome. It sits really low, so the coil-overs need to be adjusted several inches up from the bottom. Better done off the car. I asked about some...

    My build log: 66 coupe, will be 4.6L DOHC

    The Marauders fit fine. I think the different body on the newer Mustangs is the difference with the headers, as the 2V's don't interchange either. Ports are about the same size as the stock exaust gaskets. I looked at some Cobra manifolds and they looked like wouldn't fit the drivers side. The...

    My build log: 66 coupe, will be 4.6L DOHC

    Great thread! Thanks for the documentation. Very clean install! I'm doing the same conversion but with a 93 Mark and the factory AOD. I'm using a Martz front clip. Wish I could weld like you- I had to hire it out. I cut the side reservoir off my oil pan and brazed up the hole. Looks great but...

    headers for 4 cam motor in 65 fb

    Anybody have a recommendation for headers that will fit a 4 cam motor in a 65? I just put in a Lincoln 4 cam motor and AODE into my 65 fastback. Sure looks awesome in there! I have a Martz Racing front clip, so motor clearance is good but the steering column and linkage is fairly close. I...

    anybody tried the Total Cost Involved front suspension?

    I have a 65 FB that needs some help up front. I saw an article on the Total Cost Involved MII type front and it looks great in pictures. How does it work?. I have done a Rod &Custom MII and it is great except for the ride quality. I've done 2 with the Shelby drop, negative wedge, Grenada discs...

    9" Rear disc conversion for only $375?

    The Falcon link is a really good one but there is no description of the spacer for the Crown Vic stuff other than it's available on the internet but didn't say where. Can you tell me how to get one- or even make one? Thanks.

    I completed my rewire. EZ Wiring Harness review

    I've used the large and mini style fuse boxes and other than the size, I didn't see any difference. The wiring is great, particulary the labels! I used GM columns both times, because of the tilt, dimmer switch and locking column. The EZ wiring has a plug that goes directly to the GM column and...

    Taurus fan install(in the process of)

    I'm a little late on this but I think I may have a fairly easy solution to the relay issue. I got a fan off a 93 Continental yesterday (Taurus fans were all gone). 20" x 15" (rectangle w/o corner indentations) inside of the edge of the shroud. Big wires as described before. It was plugged into a...

    66 with mustang II and 351 Cleveland, anyone done it?

    You'll love it I did a 66 Ranchero- little different but not much- used a stock double sump pan and was able to drop the front of the engine nearly an inch. Not sure about the Moroso but prob similar. I'd recommend some subframe connectors. Mustang is probably more solid than the Ranch but it...

    replacement floor panel fit

    I need to replace rusted panels on the floor, trunk and rear frame rails of my 65 FB. I've gotten one new frame rail and it's thinner and doesn't even look to be shaped completely right. Anybody have suggestions on where to get the best quality and fitting parts?

    Fatmanfab ????

    I'm new here, so if there is a thread covering this, somebody please point me. How does the Fatman handle vs the RRS? I have put a R&C MII on a 66 Ranchero and it's great! I particularly like the tighter turning radius but it is not a handler. Car feels very whippy but I will probably be able to...
