    289ci rebuild vs. crate motor... opinions please

    I am working on getting all the parts that I will need little by little to rebuild / build mine. Going with a local shop that can machine and assemble it for me, can you say warranty :nice: If someone works with building engines all day every day I figure they are much less likely to make...

    '65 Dash pad

    I have a black dash pad for a '65 (I believe) if anyone is interested let me know. I don't need the pad and bought it off a guy who said it was a '66 Ford tooling pad. However, when I went to put it on it didn't come down far enough on the ends nor did it have the screws on the end which I...

    302?

    Thanks for the tips.... I am honestly for whatever reason half tempted to stay with a 289..guess just because that is what came in the car out of the factory. However, mine is not a numbers matching car. It is a crate motor a previous owner purchased some years ago so that really is not a...

    302?

    I have been debating is it better to stick with the 289 I have and rebuild it or go for a 302? There is a guy in my area that has a 302 roller motor for $50. From the picture, the heads and some other items are still on it and I could probably sell those and get my $50 back. I would be going...

    Ignition Switch Repair

    I had a problem with mine one time. I had replaced the cylinder in both my ignition and doors. Thing was getting really loose the next time I drove, so much so to the point my gauges / radio were not work. Made it home anyway, LOL! Didn't really do anything to mine other than take it back...

    Is this worth it before I go back to Iraq?

    I personally do not see "new paint" as a selling point when I read an ad. When translated what that says to me is something along the lines of "I had the cheapest place in town throw a quickie coat of paint on it to hide heaven only knows what...."

    Shop owners: How has business been?

    The economy really hasn't changed my budget at all. I have a buddy in my area that runs a restoration shop and he is keeping very busy so far. He is doing one car that is a full Rotisserie along with several other pretty involved projects and has one out to be blasted right now....the one...

    Met the girl of my dreams today

    "Young love" is so cute. Wait till you have been married 10+ years, her Libido is no where to be found and you are wondering why you are constantly spending money on stupid sh&t you don't want / need without any to be had for things your really want. Pretty sure if I posted pictures, etc of...

    Sounds too good to be true

    I guess this would put things in perspective. Found an ad today for a '88 or so 5.0 roller block out of a Mustang that still has the factory standard bore for about $80. That might be worth the money to have it bored .30 over and then put it on a stand to start building it as time / parts...

    Sounds too good to be true

    That was sort of my working assumption to be honest and for the same money there is a local guy that has a bare 302 roller block that is completely machined already, bored .30 over, etc. that basically just needs someone to put it on a stand and start building. I also spoke with a guy the...

    Sounds too good to be true

    Far as I know it has basically stock internals. All they mention is an electronic ignition, the intake and the carb.

    1966 Mustang Brake Lite/Turn Signal Dilemma

    I am assuming you have checked your ground wires in the trunk? Reason I ask is I rewired my back end and instead of grounding the back where it was supposed to be it was grounded to one of the bolts that holds the tail light housing in place. That is basically the way it was wired when I...

    Sounds too good to be true

    Wondering about this one. Came across a guy that has a 302 with some goodies on it such as Holley 650 that he claims has less than 20k miles on it. He is looking to sell it complete for $500. Said he is upgrading to a stroker and doesn't need his old block. Something in the back of...

    battery ground

    Mine in my '66 is attached to the side of the block coming from the battery. I have as yet been able to find a "ground strap" on mine from the back of the block to the firewall which probably explains why my park lights come on when the brake peddle is pushed, etc. The ground strap is cheap...

    Engine questions

    The dude said it had a Weiand intake and 650 Holley...carb likely would need a rebuild.
