if I had to do it all over again....based on the situations at the time I think would have just turbo'd my inline instead of switching everything.... then again I would have wanted 5 lugs too so who knows.... but if you have a 6 it's worth contemplating for a while instead of getting the "8 must...

paypal itself I believe has a directory of all the online stores that officially accept paypal

351C no (not without changing front suspension so you can notch the shock towers), 351W yes with special headers

I setup a homemade system on my '66... and flamethrowers in general have a problem with washing down the cylinder walls with gas. this is a very bad thing since A: it isnt lubricating when there is gas on the cylinder walls and B: that gas gets into the oil and breaks it down.... also...

I stand corrected :D .....but still if it's on a bone stock civic :notnice:

sounds like you're contemplating getting a whole granada for the parts?.. it can be done (probably.. dunno what you're paying for whole granada) much cheaper by going to the local pull-it-yourself junkyard and you wont have to worry about disposing of a car that wont roll around

dont know if you're into the rice scene or not but painting hoods flat black seems to be all the rage nowadays :shrug: heh, it's not for me but since all the "cool kids" are doing it.....

for upgrading to v8 suspension you really need to do something more similar to this ... then after that the kit you mentioned can be used to upgrade from that setup... this is b/c the kit doesnt have the main parts that are different between a v8 and an inline6... the steering setup and the 5...

year isnt too picky as long as it has the falcon type suspension common to mustangs, falcons, mavericks, and granadas... some good pictures and swap info here the front wont require any fabricating, everything bolts on if you get the right parts... the rear you will have to get wider ubolts and...

I have the 8" out of a 70's? Granada (same car I got spindles and calipers from) with no problems.... a little modifying of the shock plates was necessicary (slotting for bigger U-bolts) but the whole rearend I got for 50$ :banana:

I dont have anywhere near the $$$ for a new car right now ('66 restoration eating wallet)... but I think one of the best resources would in fact be stangnet..... think about all the anecdotes you hear on here about various problems..... wait maybe 2 months for everyone on the board that is...

well if the lower one was spinning faster than the top one it could be useful.... but what engine could take the kind of pressure it would make at high RPM?.... but yeah judging by the fact there is no rollcage and the trunk opens the wrong way (would be a dragracing liability)...I dont think...

Does it run ok with the cap back off again? usually problems associated with gascaps and engine running poorly is due to gascap not venting properly. This doesnt allow air to come into the tank to replace the gas that is going to the engine and a vacuum forms that the fuel pump has to work...

sorry cant be of too much help... other than to say I know they make specific hammers for reskining doors....that might be an indication of how in-depth it is

OT: I've had my '93 beater explorer (4.0L) to "R" :D ...granted it was down a big hill on the interstate and explorer's speedo with anything over around 80 is probably questionable....I was confused tho... it was pointing to reverse... so was I going backwards that fast? LOL :banana:

good news then about the bellhousing.... still I would be weary of the tran's strength... sure they used them in the F series, but often transmissions have many different variants, the T5 for example had no less than 10 differnt configurations with different torque ratings for different applications

yes would have to be 5 on 4.5 specific since the lugs are exposed, 4.5 backspacing is correct, also in the front you cant go wider than 8in w/o rubbing and I hear there are problems associated with 16"x8" rims hitting the upper ball joint... if you go 8" it might be worth considering going to...

the M5R2 was a mazda-derived transmission used behind the 3.8L factory supercharged v6, although they made a respectable amount of power for what they were.....torque on a v8 will be significantly higher (unless you have an inline then possibly the swap is worth it).... as far as it being too...

keep provisions in your trunk for rewiring it to bypass the MSD box. mine fried and I ended up using paperclips and masking tape to get it home

If budget isnt a concern...... mustang II all the way, well let me rephrase: if you wish it to be original then the global west or TCP type systems are your best option... just a few bolts and you can be back to stock.............but if you want all-out performace Mustang II all the way, this...
