    390FE-M112 Eaton idea

    Thats my kind of project. Got me thinking too. They could be mounted side by side and offset just enough for the belts. No air cleaner so theres some space. The box out of steel for ease of construction. Hood clearence may pose a problem. Nothing wrong with a bigger hood. Why not, it can be...

    390FE-M112 Eaton idea

    You will need a couple of M112's. That FE will suck the guts out of one, and still want more. Other than looks, why not a Turbo(s). Smack that on an FE and see what happens. :nice:

    67 Super Snake Project

    After looking at some charts, An 8 is too small, a 6 or larger would be better for a feed if its not too long.

    67 Super Snake Project

    Love that color combo. Nice of you to post photos. I was looking at the wiring on the row of circut breakers. Looks like 12 or 14 in series to each with the feed being the same. I would recommend maybe a 8 at least to feed these if its only a couple feet from the sorce and a flat copper bus with...

    Gas door from newer car on 67 fb?

    An 80's Dodge Caravan lip can be grafted into the body. A 71 Mach 1 Flip Open gas cap fits perfect within this recess.

    Protecting your cement

    Walley World should have a large 30" X 40" thin metal pan just for such things. Weight it with a couple of bricks so that the wind don't blow it. If they don't have it check a chain auto store. Nice to be able to look in pan and see whats leaking. I have several of these.

    Rear Disc Conversion (What Master Cylinder?)

    Volume is very important. As the disc pistons are several times larger than the drum cylinders pistons, as the pads wear it is possable to run out of fluid, even faster if you have multi pistons. Then guess what, they notta work. Select one with large bowls, if yu don't needa de extree fluid, it...

    rear end shortening

    Just spent a couple of days at a reputable race shop. They are Ford Bluebloods all the way. Remembering this post, I ask them what kind of rears they use. They stated that they used a built 8.8. The C-Clips have to go thou. Their cars they race are making between 1000 and 1100 HP with no...

    rear end shortening

    I guess the proff is in the end result. If the bearing falls in, it has to be in line. I just take out what I need to shorten the housing, cutting the end off first then the next cut is off the tube. I usually scrib a line on the tube with a straight edge to keep things lined up and check it...

    rear end shortening

    I tack in about three places, use a straight edge to keep the tube lined. Then check to see how the axles fit with the bearings on. They should slid right in. I have harvested several different axles so i use one of then to check fit. If not, once tacked the ends back on and you have the correct...

    rear end shortening

    We just take the ole pipe cutter and cut out what we don't need. If you take your time and have a good cutter, then its fairly east to do. The pipe cutter leaves the ends beveled so that they are easy to weld. Just spot in about three places then check to see if the axle and bearing fit ok, if...

    New hood hinges: sagging hood

    I had bad luck with the repops. Mine was an height issue once the hood was closed (would not close all the way). After removing the new hinges and looseing them up, I was surprised at the slack they had. Much more that my old originals. The new ones were crap. You may want to see if you have the...

    TKO 500 in a 65

    So I'm a little confused, I have put two of these in. One in a 67 and the other in a 68. No problems. So it sounds like the 65-66's have to be cut and the 70 has to be cut also. Can someone clarify this?

    5.4 in a 69 stang

    Like someone else said in this post, the height is the issue. I had to chop the oil pan as close as I could to clear the crossmember. The hood will just close. Heres a couple of other photos. I have more on my other PC if you need. I also used a manual rack as it is smaller in diameter than the...
