    best 1971 -1973 exhaust system kits for 302W

    The Pypes kit will not be on the market until the end of the year. I spoke with them yesterday and they are still working out the bends over the axel, as they have a clearance issue with the fuel gauge sender at the tank in applications with staggered shocks.

    new england auto show

    Unfortunately, most of the franchise agreements (and state franchise laws) do not allow Ford or any other maufacturer to control what the dealer charges. Ford is just stupid to underprice (yes, they are underpriced if people will line up to pay over sticker) these cars and let the dealers make...

    Unfortunately, I have yet to find a reputable dealer. That term is an oxymoron these days.

    351 c in a 86 coupe.

    Your're right. That guy just sucks! However, it is not unusual, as Clevelands are very tricky to get tuned right as far as parts choices are concerned (heads, cam, intake, carb, and headers). You can spend all the money you want on parts, but if the combo is wrong you will have some real...

    351 c in a 86 coupe.

    It will fit, but you need some custom items like motor mounts, trans crossmember, oilpan, and headers. You can get a kit from D&D Automotive, but it's not cheap (~$1000) http://www.mspmall.com/ddautospec/swapkits.html You can also check here for a list of conversion parts, but there are...

    SVT Author/Publisher Tom Shreiner Passes Away

    This is a great loss for our hobby and for anyone that knew him. I spoke with him a few times at shows, and he was a real nice guy. :(

    1972 Mustang Mach 1

    If it's a '73 engine, the numbers for 2V and 4V are 177 and 266HP respectively. However, depending on the condition of the engine and transmission, could be much lower. Also, a lot of the automatics had pretty bad rear end ratios. The good news is that a 351C is easy to improve. Working...

    gt-500 for 70k?

    I think that this idea came from information on the shelby Cobra roadster concept. While that is a possibility, as this car would be positioned against the viper, there is no way that this will make it into a Mustang.

    Backfiring and missing 1972 351C-4V in storage

    I'm hoping someone figures this out, because I'm having the EXACT same problem, with a similar setup and the same kind of long term storage. I was thinking a valve spring problem from the car sitting so long. Anyone think this is a possibility?

    Any chance Ford new about the gas hike?

    There was an interesting article yesterday in the Wall Street Journal concering the downturn in the market for large SUVs. Ford claims that sales for large pickups (F150) are steady, and somewhat immune to gas prices since many are used for work and towing. However, there were quotes...

    Found this today... Im not pleased...***New PA Law***

    I think they tried this a couple of years ago in Mass. and it failed. While they're at it, could they please also outlaw stickers and overly-large rear wings? I find those much more offensive than loud exhaust

    the real deal with recent GT orders

    There were over a million 64-65-66 Stangs made, and those seem to have held their appeal over time. Even better, the more they build, you can be assured of a plentiful and cheap supply of aftermarket parts. That's one of the benefits of buying a mass-market success.

    93 R rims

    All you need to do is get a set of standard 94 rims and have them powder coated black to look like the Rs. They are the same rim, just different color. They are 5 lug though, as were the 93Rs, so you have to convert, which isn't hard and gives you a chance at a brake update while you are at it.

    Yellow 05 Crash Pics

    It really sucks, but it is only a car that can be replaced. Just take care of yourself, get better, and be glad you're alive. As for the guy that hit you, find a good lawyer and sue him for pain and suffering (if you can't get on your horse for a while, sue for more). Maybe with the...
