The 302 I have in the coupe is shot, and I've been on the hunt for a reasonable priced shortblock to replace it. Came across a good deal on a 94' roller 351w out of a lightening locally. So now the questions on what I can use off of my 78' 302... (I haven't even went to look at it or really...

So I don't have 3,000 to drop on a supercharger that was made to fit my mustang. But after some reading I have seen other members who have made their own kits for around 1,000. I have some fabrication skills. I have a friend who owns a metal shop so if I need a bracket CNC cut or anything of...

So i've been working on this lil project for the past few days. I've been bored while home from college so i decided to give it ashot. I refuse to pay $170 for a nice aftermarket console or even more for a stock one, so i decided to test my fiberglass skills and make my own. I am not too sure...

Take a look at pics attached for a look at the hood that is currently on the car. I molded a fiberglass scoop to a steel hood and the cracking around the scoop has become unbearable. So for Christmas this year I will be getting a new fiberglass hood. I can't decide if I want a cowl induction...

So i bought a van today, a 84 ford club wagon for $100. It has 87,000 orginal miles, and only one bad spot on the body. 351w that runs good, holley carb, c6, 9" rear. Now i bought this thing to pimp it out for awhile as cheap as possible, then probably sell it or part it out. I plan on doing...

Looking to get some new wheels and tires. Since i got a new 9" rear end that is the perfect width for late model wheels, i figure thats the way to go. I'm thinking 18x9 in the back and 17x8 up front. I know many people don't like the look of the big wheels on classics, but i think my car can...

I guess my other thread about this got deleted in the mess that happened, so i guess ill start it again. Here are some pics http://community.webshots.com/user/captainspankme00 , i will be updating that regularly since all my pics even at lowest resolution setting are too big to post as...

So me and my girlfriend who i am very close with and pretty serious with get into a serious talk about her not knowhing who her father is, and him never being around or paying child support. Everything she has, she has worked for. Payed for her own car and insurance, pays her own bills, pays...

got 16" wheels up front iwth 225/50/16 tires. They don't rub anything, but the insides on both tires are wearing MUCH faster than the rest of the tire and it scares me. I had the tires/wheels balanced and such when i got them, as well as the front end aligned and i have not toached the...

Finally got some money saved up to get a new carb, but having problems deciding what to go with. Specs of my car is in the sig, and i will be putting on the xcellerator intake as well in the next few days. I've narrowed it down to : 1. Holley street avenger 670 ($320). 2. 650 speed demon...

Finally have a full day off work sunday, so i plan on getting up early and do a full cleaning of the stang. So heres the plan so far, feel free to add anything i need to do or any other tips. 1. Wash with Dawn. (including door jams, trunk jams, etc...) 2. Claybar 3. Wash with regular...

So im fixing to order a new set of lifters, just some basic hydraulic lifters. Will their be any noticeable difference between the Rhoads variable duration ones ($90), Comp high energy ($90), or just the summit racing ones ($60). Are they all basically the same? If the Rhoads will give any...

Here lately i've been developing a problem with my car not wanting to start. It used to just start up fine, no sounds, just turn over once or twice and it started up just like that. 2 days ago is when it really started getting bad. When i try to start it, it makes this god-awful sound. I...

I plan on upgrading my sound system a bit, and my headlights already dim a lil bit at idle so i figure its time to add a higher amp alternator. A month or two ago, me and dad rewired the whole charging system with a external voltage regulator, so i'd honestly rather keep it like that and not...

Heres the story. A chick goes to the local university during the week, then waitresses at the same resturant i work at on the weekends. She is all in some photography, i think its her major or minor or something. But anyways, she has to do a photoshoot representing a time period. So my car...

I remember reading somewhre about you can get an alum. driveshaft out of a ford aerostar van and shorten it, and it will work in a classic stang?? Anybody know if theres any truth to this or any details about it??

Finally got tags and insurance and such back on my car so i've got to do a lot of driving in it here lately. I've noticed some ticking noise coming from the engine and i thought it was a lifter, and my brother agreed that thats what the noise was. What would cause a lifter to tick, and is it...

alright guys im wanting a new carb. Im willing to go buy a nice tuning book and learn what im doing, but ima need a good carb to start with. First off i can't decide between a road demon, road demon jr, or a good classic holley, or possibly a street avenger. Im also not sure about hwat size...

i was at advance the other day and decided to take a long into the waxes/polishing section, WOW theres alotta new products. My car has been parked for awhile, but last year i used the meguiars 7 and 26 to get a good shine. I know i will be trying the NXT line soon, but i haven't heard or read...

took out my tranmsission because i couldn't get it to stop leaking, and did a few upgrades when i had it out (new stall, transpack), and put it back in today. I hook everything up, reverse works, but if i put it in "D" it will only stay in first gear. I can manually put it in 2 and it still...
