    getting hot at stop lights and when shut off

    Just for my own curiousity, at what temp would you shut the car down in fear of harming the motor? It doesnt seem to be written in stone anywhere.

    getting hot at stop lights and when shut off

    Found out I do have the wrong thermostat, Im hoping this makes a significant change. The car hit just over 220 after shut off and was getting around 210 at idle. I do have an aftermarket gauge. It pukes a little out but agree that could be because of too much fluid. Im still not happy with it...

    getting hot at stop lights and when shut off

    I did have the radiator cleaned and will probably give a jegs/summit 2 core aluminum a chance, do you think between that and the fan shroud I could be looking at a solution to this?

    71-73 coupe to fastback?

    Are you referring to placement and alignment of the roof panel or finishing off the interior to a stock nature? I believe I will do a fastback headliner but will probably ditch the rear seat for some clean looking aluminum panels.

    71-73 coupe to fastback?

    That would be awesome downwardspiral. And I think I may be the first to do this with our era of mustang. Some may say it is because there is no following but it seems like there are enough of us out there.

    71-73 coupe to fastback?

    Couldnt I fabricate those inner supports? Something along these lines.. And do something similar with the supports that are inbetween the trunk and backseat area. Something similar to the picture would give plenty of structure correct?

    71-73 coupe to fastback?

    I have had my 73 coupe for almost 10 years and there is personal value to it as I built it with my father who past away a couple years ago. I will never sell the car, although it is not my prefered body style. There is a local guy who has an entire Mach roof section from A pillars to rear of...

    Im sure you could use a variety of pin styles they even have flush mount ones but you are correct no hinges or latches used at all, pinned at all corners for the race weight hood.

    1973 mustang coupe, MOTOR MOUNT ISSUE

    Hey thanks for offering up your help. In 1973 due to new safety regulations they switched over to captive mounts which are now discontinued and not in reproduction. This is why I am in this mess and trying to figure out a solution without custom fabrication of some sort of spacer system beneath...

    1973 mustang coupe, MOTOR MOUNT ISSUE

    They sell one mount (MM2257) for both driver and passenger side, getting them mixed up would only effect the front to back location of the engine and not the width from eyelet to eyelet of the mounts.
