    Yeah - coppers suck. The Percy's are awesome despite the cost!

    Redo Deluxe Seats, or use my '94 seats

    Check the TMI site. They have a fox body catalog. I believe they make all of the seat covers for up to 93 seats and then also for the ne 2005 up. Thanks for the compliment on the car! Have any pics of yours?

    Redo Deluxe Seats, or use my '94 seats

    While I do have a set of SN95 seats, they're not what I'm using. I picked up a set of 93 LX Fox body seats (the ones without the knee bolsters). I'd be happy to give you a pic but the seat covers won't be here for three weeks. Apparently the Fox body stuff isn't stocked.

    Redo Deluxe Seats, or use my '94 seats

    Use the 94 seats and recover them with the deluxe covers made by TMI that will match your existing interior. I just bought the covers from Laurel Mountain Mustang (no plug for them they were just recommended as a company familiar with Fox body seats). for around $329. They will match my 65...

    afr 185s

    Not to be a smart ass (or a know it all) the AFR 165's will clear stock pistons with XE274H cam (.520/.523 lift). I know this to be tru because that is what I had until I changed the pistons out a couple of years ago.

    2.5" exhaust with the GT valance panel?

    I ran 2 1/2" back to the area between the framerails where it reduced to 2 1/4" due to the tight fit between the framerail and the gas tank as I wanted a flexible mount. I know others maintained 2 1/2" all the way through but I believe had to use a solid mount. Frank

    where to buy heads?

    I went to www.bieberfever.com. They were excellant folks to deal with. There is a 6 week backlog on new orders. Apparently AFR is having capacity problems and is in the process of expanding/relocating. The heads are WELL worth the wait however! http://www.allmustang.com Frank

    C4 Green Dot Transmissions

    Externally, the valve body from 65-66 is identical to 67-69. The differences are internal. I had no problem bolting the 68 VB into the 65 tranny. Frank

    C4 Green Dot Transmissions

    The 2nd dot past neutral is drive. The first dot is 2-3. I don't remember which is the big dot...I never look at it. If your only issue with the green dot c4 is manual shifting, just get yourself a 67-69 valve body and change it out. That's the only thing between a green dot and straight...

    B&M Shift Improver Kit

    I'll second the transgo kit. :nice: When you get into it, 1st. Chirp 2nd. Chirp 3rd. Crisp quick shifts. Manual shift ability. And actually surprisingly smooth when you're just cruising. That's my .02 Frank

    Does this budget seem realistic

    "Ya this is the only way I am going to be able to get away with it, with the wife is by spending a little at the time over a long period of time. " :bang: :bang: :bang: Don't even talk about it! I have a spreadsheet like Nicks, but it is safely hidden away where SWMBO will never...

    Does this budget seem realistic

    $25K and counting. I started out where you are figuring I would get out for under $10K. Then came the $5000 paint job. Now I'm up to about $4800 for the engine. Figure a grand in the suspension and brakes. Another grand for the interior. Wait - you need wheels and tires - theres another...

    speed-o-meter

    By my calculations, with 245/60-14 tires, 4.11 rear and C-4 you would need a 23 tooth driven gear on your speedo cable. The largest I have seen is 21. You might want to check with a Ford dealer to see if they have one. Frank

    instrument panel lights

    Not to be a smart-a$$ but did you check the fuse? If your bright light indicator works you have a good ground to the bezel case. If you have a multimeter or test light, check for juice at the fuse block (mine is blue-red wire). If you have 12V on one side of the fuse and not the other...

    If only the horse could catch the cat

    Maybe stating the obvious here, but have you check valve adjustment? Sounds exactly like mine after following the FORD procedure for setting initial valve lash. Adjusted the valves with the motor running and cleared everything up. Vacuum jumped to 18" and steady, the miss disappeared and the...
