I am trying to add a Vent Guage to my 2011 5.0 and am unsure where I can cleanly tap a 12 volt switched power supply in my mustang. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also if you know how to tap into the headlight dimming system that would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am looking to purchase axleback exhaust for my 5.0. I have watched almost every video I can find but was hoping you guys can give me more specific answers. I am down to the Flowmaster Hushpowers and the Roush. I enjoy the sound I have heard from both I have no clue just how loud they are...

I picked up my 5.0 last Thursday. I have put about 250 miles on it since then. As of yesterday my clutch pedal began squeaking when I depress it. I took it into Ford and they are telling me the whole clutch pedal assembly needs to be replaced. My replacement should be here on Monday. I have...

Hello, I recently fired my mustang and noticed I now have a knocking noise coming from the engine. I was wondering if anyone on here can help me identify it. Engine work is not my strongest suit and I am on a learning curve here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have uploaded a...

I picked up a set of hood pins for my 65 today. I mounted them where the original hood stops are. They fit great but sit at a slight angle. Is this an issue or is there a way to straighten them out? Just wanted some advice on this before I start drilling the hood. I can post pictures if...

Ok, so the wiring harness under my 65 mustang is trashed. I am replacing the whole thing. I purchased and original repo style. I am switching to the 66 harness at the recommendation of Johns mustang for ease of installing a 66 gauge cluster. I need to identify some of these connections. I...

I spend most of my time in the classic forums, I have a 65 coupe. I am looking at picking up a 91 fox this weekend. I need some opinions on if this is a good deal, and what a realistic price is for a car like this. I have been looking around and trying to get a feel for their values. I want...

I am installing my T5 in my 65 mustang. For some reason I can't seem to get it to seat all the way in. Still has about 1/2 inch left. Using a 90 t5 and bell. With a 65 clutch and pilot bushing. Please help

First I want to say thank you for everyones help so far on my T5 swap. Heres my problem: I am using a T5 bell and hardware to do this swap. But I am also using my 65 flywheell and clutch. I am also going to use the modern driveline cable clutch kit. I have the flywheel and clutch...

Quick question here. I am trying to install my new flywheel and I cant get the bolt holes to line up. I can only seem to get 4 of the 6 to match up. Am I doing something wrong here?

I have two quick questions. Can anyone tell me how to visually verify a 28 or 50 oz flexplate. Pretty sure it is a 28 but would still like to know for sure. I have rebuilt 79 302. Weight on the flexplate measures 4" in length. Flexplate is identical in size to my 157 flywheel. I also...

Hey, was looking for some solid input here before I order one of these. I am in the process of installing a T5 in my 65. I have been looking around and there seem two be two main types of cable clutch conversions. One that goes through the existing hole with no real modification made by...

I am planning on converting to a Tremec 3550 transmission. Currently I am running a C4 and a 71 302 in my mustang. I already have a clutch pedal installed from my previous transmission. My question is what exactly is involved in converting my 65 mustang over to a Tremec 3550. I know I will...

I have a strange rattle coming from my vehicle on acceleration. Its a FI V8 with 101,000 miles on it. I recently changed te oil and filter as well as added a quart of fluid to the transmission while it was operating temperature. I put in 4 quarts of syntetic oil in the engine as well as a...

I am looking at adding some GT40 Heads to my 302 not GT40P. Its a 71' 302 block with rail rockers and an aftermarket manifold. I am curious if this is a direct bolt up, will there be any kind of gapping around the manifold? What kind of power gains can be expected from these heads over stock...

This may not be the right area to post this. I have a 65 coupe that I changed for a 6 to an 8. I now have tons of 6 cylinder parts. Spindles, Brakes, Rear-end, single master cylinder, the whole setup basically. So My question is should I take this stuff to a junk yard and dispose of it...

I just finished my 5-lug conversion on my 65' coupe. This included lowering the front about 1.5", and lowering the rear about 1". I also had to have my original 6 cylinder driveshaft modified so that it would mate up to the new 8" rear-end. Got everything bolted together this weekend, pushed...

I believe I have a bent pushrod that needs to be replaced, but I have a very limited knowledge of actual engine building and or rebuilding. What is involved in replacing these? Do I need to remove the intake manifold, or can it be done by just removing the valve covers? Should I go...

I have a 65 coupe that I am converting my single master cylinder to a dual. I have a new distribution block as well as an adjustable proportioning valve. I wanted to verify I had everything correct before I began installing it all. Please let me know if the illustration I drew has the right...
