    Pilot Bearing for '66 289

    I got rid of the old bearing in mine. It was not even a roller bearing! So I used the same part that comes in the newer 87 through 93 mustangs. It has worked great!

    Exhaust question

    I don't like the sound of the X-pipes. It makes them sound semi NASCAR and raspy. The H-pipe is a little better. I run true 2.5 inch duel all the way back! They never cross and I like it that way with Flowmaster old school 40 series! Nice deep rich exhaust tones that come in the car and can...

    Aftermarket Cylinder Heads?

    You are going to want the heads that do not have all that crappy emissions and smog stuff on them. Not that I am saying buy them from anywhere, but if you look in jegs or summit they have the differences more mapped out for you. You can also log onto their websites and check out different...

    Brakes

    They might have moisture in the brake fluid. I would start with bleeding fresh fluid through the entire system. If that doesn’t work, maybe a new master cylinder or wheel cylinders are the ticket. Also it is never a bad idea to get some brake cleaning fluid out for the shoes and drums. If...

    hypereutectic VS nitrous & some fun at the track!

    Why is it that ford’s hypereutectic pistons don’t like nitrous? A buddy of mine just got a 125 shot kit for his 02 (a wet kit) and he blew his motor at the track leaving after running a 12.95 @ 111 mph. He forgot that the kit was engaged when he was leaving and the pressure had apparently got...

    What are the two sensors on a T5 tranny

    That is what I thought as well. But I cannot remember what that other connection is for so everyone is probably right! (I never hooked either of them up) figured they were options in 65 anyway! :shrug:

    installing subframes ?

    I have bought some nice sub frame connectors to put on my stang. I was wondering what you thought about bolting vs. welding. They do not weld to the undercarriage of the car. They just bolt to ends of both sub frames to connect them together. You are supposed to have the weight of the...

    Tell me what you think about this idea...

    I have been kicking around this idea for a while. I am about to graduate and go to serious work now though. So the time is getting closer. I want to start to add to my car collection! I am kicking around getting a 90 – 93 ish boxy F-150 pickup with a 351 in it so I can swap out the 385 horse...

    Heater Core mess again! just two years later...

    I’m pretty annoyed right now… I replaced my leaky heater core about two years ago. To my surprise I pulled out the factory original (or replacement). It had the FoMoCo stamp on it and was just leaking a drip here and there. The other day my new replacement one started leaking all over the...
