    master cylinder help - 69 with 4 wheel disc

    As Rusty says, its tough to move a SVO MC without power assist. There are several latemodel Mustang MCs that have a 15/16" bore, which might be better. Here's a good site for info: Improve your Braking! SN95Brakes.com

    02 gt pbr calipers rather than cobras calipers on a 65

    I have the GT PBRs on my '68. I had them available, and they fit fine under 15" wheels. Perhaps I'll go Cobra when I get bigger wheels, but at the time I was not willing to do that. ..and, despite prevailing opinion, they are not an automatic death sentence. Some have even opentracked with...

    New distributor gear when installing new cam?

    If you have an iron cam, use an iron gear. If you have a roller cam (steel), use a steel gear. Pretty simple. An iron gear with a steel cam will self-destruct in short order, ruining your motor. So, yeah, that's ominous. Bronze gears work with both but wear relatively quickly. OK for a...

    Found for sale disc brake conversion

    Personally, I would go discbrakeswap.com All new parts (good as brakes are a 'safety of flight' item), and no surprises. Scarebird and vintagevenom are other options, perhaps.

    daily driver suspension upgrade

    whats in that 'deluxe susp kit?' If you have little cash, you arent really 'in the market'. Most of your options are big $$$ from this point onward (assuming you have done a fresh stock rebuild). rbohm is correct, Shelby drop, better tires, shocks, poly bushings in appropriate spots...

    no oil pressure on first start up?

    You should use a mechanical gauge permanently. I would not trust my oil pressure readings to an electrical sender, but that's just me.

    Oil Pan Clearance :(

    If you are trying to put a double-sump pan in a vintage Mustang (I dont know what car you have, cant tell from your OP), or dont know that the 'deep' end goes in the rear, you have serious issues to address beyond a tapping noise. what pickup are you using? I wouldnt do another thing until...

    5 speed swap

    All of your technical data questions are available, some searching should ferret them out. I can tell you that, based on the info you have provided, you do not want a T-5. A 3550 or TKO is in your future.

    Replacing the 302 with a roller 351W

    Don't waste money on a hi-zoot cam with those heads...you'll never see the potential. I wouldnt put E7 heads on a 351, unless I was restoring a 1969 Mercury sedan or something to showroom. Just sayin'

    t5 swap w/ 68 3 speed

    what engine do you have? I did my first T-5 swap for ~ $850, the details of which I have posted here a least a few times. That included a used T-5 for $600 (this was about 6 yrs ago or so). Used T-5s might be cheaper now, I dont know. You can pay 2500 and get the Rolls Royce of swaps...
