    Brakes 1977 8inch rear. What's the latest on disk brake conversions?

    I seem to remember there was an issue with the MII/Pinto 8inch rear and disk brake conversion kits. I am swapping to a 5 lug, and can either have the axles welded/redrilled or use an earlier Mustang 8 inch rear (have to modify the spring perches a tad)(width difference is not a problem) but I...

    oil pan question

    Hi. I just got my 96 4.6 engine yesterday. I am going to need a front sump oil pan for the project it is going into. Canton Racing has one, but it is way out of my price range at the moment. I was looking at the engine, and noticed that the oil pan on this is flat(sorry, I am used to...

    4R70W Transmission aftermarket shifter?

    Thanks. Will be replacing the shifter most likely, but I don't know for sure yet. Getting the 4.6 and trans from a 96 GT and putting it into a 79 Pinto. (ok, quit laughing) Thinking I may need to move the shifter, but won't know until I get the stuff. Is that B&M Hammer the only option...

    Couple of 1989 2.3L questions

    Thanks, that is a big help. Hoping to get the engine/trans next weekend. Then the fun starts. I don't even have an engine hoist yet, so my Blazer may be carrying the engine and trans for a while. Have to wait on income tax refund to get here first. This will actually be a fairly long term...

    Couple of 1989 2.3L questions

    I already planned on an electrical pump. Putting an efi engine in a Pinto is actually pretty common, but most people go with a turbo version. I figured I would ask here, because you all know this stuff better than Pinto people. :-) Believe it or not, at least the 79 and 80 do have a return...

    Couple of 1989 2.3L questions

    Hi. I am getting a Mustang1989 2.3L with fuel injection non-turbo engine to replace the 2.3L carbed engine in my 79 Pinto. OK, stop laughing. :lol: Seriously, I want the fuel injection cause I like that better than carbs. That is the main reason I am doing this swap. Also, I am...

    Any tips on removing stuck valve covers?

    Tap them with a rubber mallet. May take many taps. Go around them tapping, not on the flange area, but the vertical/sides of them. Sooner or later you will hear the gasket give. Don't pry on them with anything. Unless you don't care about them. Russ

    Parts (mostly)from a 76 Ghia

    car is gone. I have a V8 C4 small bellhousing and a double hump crossmember still. I can ship the crossmember, not too sure about the bellhousing. I also don't know for sure about the bellhousing, I was told that was what it is. If you are local to Northern Ohio I also have a radiator...

    Bit of an update

    This last weekend I bought a radiator support with the inner aprons attached. $30. :D Some surface rust, but nothing bad. It does have the battery area cut off and "repaired" with a piece of sheet metal screwed on, but that is minor. The aprons complete all the way back, other than the above. I...

    A different sort of gas tank question

    Yeah, it is there. Not sure about enforcement though. I read it when I first moved back here about 4 years ago while reading up on the emissions and registration stuff. Akron may not be a problem, but I work in Solon, and lately they are really trying to give out as many tickets as possible up...

    A different sort of gas tank question

    Nice. I was hoping to run them out the back. Not sure how legal side exits are here in Ohio, there is a law about "tampering". For ex. you can't put dual exhaust on a car that didn't have that option from the factory. Granted the '76 won't have to be emissions tested, but police seem to like...

    Throw away or keep questions

    Any reason to keep the original carpet? It might clean up ok, would take a steam cleaner probably. But it is pretty easy to tear already and I don't know if it would really be worth the effort. I most likely will be changing colors anyway, but it does have the matting under it and is all there...

    Getting warmer, started on the II again

    I was thinking about blaming my wife for letting me buy the floor pans that are cluttering the place up a bit, but had second thoughts about it. :-)

    Getting warmer, started on the II again

    I finally got out into the garage for something besides getting into my Taurus. Did a bit of cleaning and sorting, still have a long ways to go. Need more shelving, but wife still isn't working so I have no money to spend at all. But I got most of the interior stuff onto one shelf at least...

    Question about the "other" site

    Just an update of sorts. I still am not approved, but have been in contact with Tim there, so it should be soon. Sheesh. Russ
