Thanks for the posts. I was thinking around 300 because I have all the parts including brakes and attaching hardware. And yes, it is an open unit with ford 3.25 gears. Jon22

Hello all, I have a used complete 8inch rear end from a 65 V8 coupe that I am going to sell to a friend doing a I6 to V8 conversion. It does need to be rebuilt with new bearings and maybe a new gear. However, it is complete with brakes and shock mounts. I want to work out a deal that is fair...

+1 for the answer from 2+2GT. Except on my late 65 stock 2V 289, The hole on the passenger side you are asking about was where the engine build tag was attached.

Thanks for the advice you guys. After looking into things further in the past few days, I am thinking that the stock 65 motor mounts may be my problem. The drivers side mount is in pretty sad shape and the z-bar is at a loose down angle from the frame. I am going to start with new mounts and...

Hello all, I have posted/asked about this issue in the past but, at the time, I was sure that the problem was wheel hop and not clutch chatter. I am sure now that clutch chatter is the problem. My setup is a 289 with T-5 trans, spacer plate adapter with 4speed bellhousing and, all of the...

Nick, I used the ford motorsport double roller timing set in my 289. The one piece fuel pump eccentric that you have will work perfectly. Most of the issues that I have had with eccentrics have been with the two piece ones not spinning properly on a cam gear designed for a one piece. So, you...

So, does that mean that you wire the 6AL to the battery and use is switched 8 volts for the distributor? MSD says you need a switched 12v even with the box. Any advice or info on how someone has wired one of these things would be appreciated.

It sounds like you are 180 out with your timing but, since you have checked that, try retarding the timing a bit. A pop through the intake can only mean too early or 180 timing if the intake valves are seated. Hope this helps.

I have an MSD ready to run distributor on my 65 289. I have it direct wired off of the starter solinoid "I" terminal. I have 12 volts with the key on but only 8 when running. Any advice on the best way or place to tap 12 volts on these cars? I am also going to add a 6AL box later. Any help would...

I don’t mean to overstep you guys but I have been in the engine business for a while and I do machine work for a race shop. A bad or no retainer plate on the cam caused that timing cover damage. Also to add, high volume oil pumps on the street are a bad choice. I have seen more pans sucked dry...

I am thinking of installing some 15x7 torque thrusts on my 65. Are there any clearance problems with the 7” or should I go with the 6”. I would appreciate any experience with these wheels. Thanks, Jon22

thanks Thanks for all the advice you guys. By the way, my clutch is a centerfoce gold(stage one)with the stock z-bar linkage. I think that chatter may be part of the problem but it is so bad that it can't be just the clutch. I am thinking of trying the maier 165 mid eyes first to see if that...

Hi, I am having a serious problem with traction and wheel hop in first gear. My car is a 65 stang with a 300hp 289 and t-5 trans. I have looked at the global west and maier leaf springs and cal-tracs traction bars. Something has to be done to correct the problems that I am having. I am...

Hi, I am thinking about installing an Edelbrock Pro-Flo injection system on my 65 289 coupe. I would appreciate any advice on this system. Is it really worth the price compared to a carb? How difficult is the installation and so on? Thank you, Jon22
