    Expired 2012 Mustang Gt 13.2" Rotors And Loaded Calipers - 0 Miles

    I bought these a few months ago from Roush Racing, to adapt to my 1968 Mustang. I've switched directions on that car (or, just come to admit that my Granada discs are adequate and I won't really be doing any track days). The calipers and discs are still in the original (unopened) Roush boxes...

    CNC Hydraulic pedal assembly... why not?

    Hey! I'm putting a T5 in my 68 coupe (behind a 250 inline six turbo) and I'm going to go with a hydraulic clutch. I like DIY stuff, but this kit from CNC seems like an alright deal... MC, pedal assembly and slave for $159 (P#6081). Thats just a shade over the cost of buying the MC and...

    Exhaust exit possibilities

    It seems like most are running a standard GT dual exhaust out the back, or dumping after the axle. Anyone else with other options out there? I wonder what it would look like to try a late model Corvette system on an early stang - dual exhaust through a cut out in the middle of the rear...

    Wheel bearing? Diff.? ...what am I hearing

    Hi, For the last hundred miles I've been hearing a 'woh woh woh' coming from what sounds like the passenger side rear tire. It seems to be getting louder. I don't think its the tire or wheel - I just had them mounted and balanced by a reputable shop. The 'woh' sound happens about 2.5 times per...

    The Brake Line Routing Thread

    For everyone now and in the future who will search and find this thread: I have just done the common Granada disc swap on my 1968 coupe, I have just purchased a new M/C from a 1979 Granada. There are no lines connecting any of it. It seems like the original Mustang line connected to the...

    How much did you pay for AFR 165's?

    Just wondering. Have heard great things about them but haven't seen a pair for less than $1300. Which probably is a fine deal considering the #'s in this article: http://www.carcraft.com/techarticles/116_0307_ford_302_v8_engine_buildup/ I'm sure it's been posted before - it's from a few...

    Quick master cylinder rod length question

    Just got a new 79' Granada manual master cylinder from Napa. The new rod appears to be almost 1" longer than the rod from the original master cylinder. Also, I don't see how to remove a rod from the master cylinder once I get it in there, so I want to do it right the first time. Should I use...

    Quick MC question

    Quick simple question I have after searching the forums- I have a 1968 coupe which was originally drum/drum. I put the granada discs on the front. I have the prop valve from the Granada. Do I need to change my MC as well?

    1" or 1 1/8" sway bar?

    From what I've seen, the price difference is negligable ($5). Is there any reason not to go with the 1 1/8 inch bar, or is it just for racing? I'm looking to do some spirited street driving and keep up with my buddy's 84' turbo Volvo in the corners. I've seen suggestions for both in the...

    EFI S/C question in 68 coupe...

    Hi Guys, I'm working on my long range plan for the car (1968 coupe) and would like a few thoughts from ya'll. I'd like to do a 5.0 EFI with a T5. I already have a three speed on the floor, so the manual swap will most likely be easiest. I'm looking for around 300-350 horsepower and 25...

    Ball joint ?

    Hi I'm doing the granada swap, and noticed when I was putting the disc spindle on that the ball joint stud was spinning with the castle nut. This made it appear difficult to tighten the castle nut (in fact, it's not tight at all right now). I'm worried that the lower ball joint may be...

    1980 Granada - what all can I use?

    Hi, I'm about to purchase a 1980 granada. The owners just did the brakes last week with new rotors and pads but then reverse and park went out so they're selling it. I'm stoked about doing the brake swap this weekend . Don't know what rear it has, but I'll post pics this weekend to see if...

    67/68 stance

    Hi there, Trying to decide what direction to go with wheel size and stance on my 68 coupe (such a huge part of building a car, and it feels like I'm doing it blind!). I've done plenty of searches, but was wondering if we could make this a thread where members could post a side pic that...

    Point A to Point B

    I know there are a zillion posts on a I6 to V8 swap. I think this is differintiated a little. I have a 1968 coupe with 200/3spd and almost no rust. Everything is stock, and the engine needs a rebuild though it drives fine now (it smokes like an irish pub). It's my wifes car, so I bought...
