Hey everyone, I am pretty deep into an engine swap and am pretty much at a road block. The details are, I have an 01 3.8 and manual transmission going into a 1977 Mustang. I am transferring pretty much everything over to the 77. So far I have the ECU, Cluster, OBD, PATS transceiver, Fuel pump...

Hey everyone it's been a while. About lost all patience with my 78. So life's been busy for the last couple of years so the cars have been sitting around and not run much. Well I wanted to get my 78 running enough to move it around or drive it for a bit. It has not had a gas cap on it for a long...

well my last post was not the best being about a broken rocker stud. Since then I have hand tapped (Don't get too angry) the old stud holes and installed screw-in studs. I am not using guide plates with these studs, they are Mr.Gasket brand. After the stud install I went ahead and got Comp...

Well, I knew going into the cam swap that there was a chance for some "issues" to occur. I was mainly worried with the studs pulling out since the engine is a 73 and has press in studs. I think it all started when I first fired up the engine for the break in. On the driver side I had (notice I...

So a couple months ago I posted about installing an aftermarket cam in my engine. I finally got the engine all back together and in the car. I went to start the engine up for the break in and it would only crank over, as if it wanted to start but it never took off. The next time I tried it, it...

Hello All, It has been a while since I have posted here but I am in need of some help. I have recently got the transmission rebuilt for the car and I figured since I have the engine out I am going to put a mild cam in it. I Have decided to go with the comp cams 262 cam and upgrade the springs to...

Well after months of careful planning it all came together. I got her down the driveway. Ill put a link to the YouTube video of it. The engine seems to run good other than a little tap in the number 8 exhaust valve due to a lack of the valve cap. Sounds pretty good too! The only performance part...

At my school we have a couple wood shop type classes, of course they are not called wood shop they have names like advanced design, that's beside the point. We started a project and we had to make a lamp incorporating several different pieces. Since i'm working on a cobra why not inspire a lamp...

Hey, finally got the 302 in the car! but, it seems as if it is leaning toward the back and it is pointing off in one direction. the front shoots towards the front right headlight. Check out these pictures and tell me what you think. We are using 302 MII specific motor mounts that are shimmed up...

I got an engine and I got it running! Now it is time for the install. I know the motor mounts are specific but what about the frame mounts? There is a chance I might be able to get some v8 mounts here shortly. How different are the v6 FRAME mounts than the v8 frame mounts? Also I am going with a...

Well, I posted a few weeks ago about doing the 302 swap into my II. I found an engine and bought it. Although I still need to get it running and locate a few parts here and there, I am getting close! Anyway, I have the suspension of a v6 now, was there any change from the v6 to v8? I would...

So I have posted a few other questions on another forum and I am coming up with no answers. I decided to try Stangnet because that is were most of my searches have led me. I am doing a 302 swap into my 78 mustang cobra ii. So far I have figured out that these cars are not exactly the easiest...

Hey everyone! Although I am a member of other mustang forums this is my first time on Stangnet. I will mostly be asking questions on Mustang ii's and relating topics. Thanks to everyone and I look forward to good and helpful experiences on this forum! Thanks Again!
