    Bassani headers between 302 and 351

    Shoot! Yeah it was tight between the strut towers but the closes interference was at the frame rail itself. I was hoping with the engine being taller it would be further away since it would be in the tapered area. Thanks for the replys! Scott

    Bassani headers between 302 and 351

    Looking to confirm compatibility. These were on my 302 they are 1-3/4 to 1-7/8. Will these fit my 351 that I am building now? I am using the same heads, AFR's. As you can see they hang low hence the added skid plates. Would really like to use these on my 351 build.

    Tri bar, IMO appropriate for a Aero car. The carbon background so subtle it brings a modern touch to a classic symbol.

    Fox Clutch preload?

    I agree with Noobz, with a diagram clutch I found with mine that there needs to be the slightest amout of free load on it. This was a centerforce dual friction. If I back off the to the point of no contact with the fingers to the throw out bearing there was to much free play. Now on my...

    Hmmm as you are probably aware Ford is notorious for slight changes in PN with the same looking physical parts. Was the 7.3 R&P steering? I forget on my dad's 99 F250.

    If you check out my build thread. When we re hung new mufflers adding the tails we duplicated what was previously done and welded the hanger off the back of the muffler can. Might be a option to consider too. If I were you once clocked I would weld your tails to the muffler, find someone that...

    Well I have 2 blocks unless dad sells the 351 on me... I picked up a 1978 302 std bore. Sending it to the machine shop to be burned, shot peened and magnefluxed. The alternative is to build the 351 to about 370-380cid, I don't have to convert to one piece rear main. I will have to buy another...

    Yeah I did the notching and swapping and never installed those "bandaid" anti piss and moan brackets. Never noticed a noise during braking although my car is far from quiet... especially since it has team Z upper and lowers there is no ISO bushings.

    Looks good! Maybe it's me or I would have to be there in person but it looks like the rear needs to be lowered just a tad, like 1/2-3/4"?

    No doubt the turbo stuff is fun and FAST too! I grew up with the NA stuff so there is a soft spot for that. I have 2 68's and that 71 I am watching on market place. I have exhausted all my machine shop sources and have word of mouth to a few other sources. I will take my time as I am not in...

    Well the machine shop called last week and after months of waiting and hounding. He finally got around to checking the block and found a crack in #6 bore in the replacement 1968 block. We both agreed sleeving is not idea, so back on the hunt...I did find a complete still together 71 pan to...

    It just does not have the comfort and quietness of a newer car. No Bluetooth, lane assistance, back up camera ect. Also the safety, we all have seen pictures of these cars in bad accident broken up, to many distracted drivers on the road now days. Also for me sentiment replacement, to have a...

    Yeah...could not daily a fox no matter the powertrain. I have a 2014 F-150 that has 57K because I have almost always had a daily commuter. Your saving in fuel would almost swing a 20-25K car or I did for me. After my Cobalt Sport was totaled last fall by a careless driver. Driving the truck...

    Black Jack: TMOSS Intake Time + Aftermarket Fan. AutoX in the morning

    Careful with the 0 weight oil. I would stay 10W-40, 10W-30, if you really need thin oil in colder north 5W-30. These pushrod Windsor don't like any of that new thin stuff. I also have noticed fluctuations in my gauge on my 92 with the "bell" style sender.

    Fox Brakes and Anti Seize..

    Growing up on a dirt road and having a ag background. I have found antiseeze just attracts dirt and grit to moving parts creating premature wear. On the premium brake pad kits they give you a tube of grease and want lube those contact points where the edge of the pad contacts the bracket...

    2024 Mustang

    When I worked for Ford in 2013-17, before I left in 17 on a buyout. I did the study in the department I worked in for the S650 program it was a minor program refresh. At the time it did not have ton of impact to our department, granted it was pretty early in study phases.
