    The Skunk with Turbines & Side Pipes

    I wish Turbines *had* been made for the II. Dialing in the spacers and hammering out the inside of the fenders was a PITA.

    Mustang II popularity

    I've always loved muscle cars. My first car was a '71 Chevelle. I found my II's body at a swap meet and had a vision of a Rat Fink cartoon. Little car, big engine. Radical, irreverent. Flamethrower exhausts. Dragster scoop. The kind that guys used to draw on their notebooks back in high school...

    dyed my top

    That is pretty trick. I've never seen a drop-top II. The dash insert is sweet, too.

    Another II brought back from the grave...

    Nice work! Might I ask what you did with those Centerline directionals, and if you sold them, what you got for them? I have a set sitting in my garage.

    The Skunk with Turbines & Side Pipes

    :D Still running the dual quads and the tunnel ram but now sitting on a '91 Mustang 5.0 block with ported GT-40 heads. New additions to the appearance package: Corvette side pipes and a set of 15" Turbines. The plumbing on the side pipes took a couple of pitchers of beer and a few bar...

    Need C4 Dipstick

    Is there a difference between the MII dipsticks and the earlier Mustang dipsticks? If so, does anybody know where I can buy a '78 C4 transmission dipstick? Local parts houses only seem to carry '64-73 OEM for the C4.

    How big a tire can you fit on a II?

    How exactly would you roll the fender lip up? Just split it with tinsnips and massage it with a hammer? I have a set of 295/50R15's sitting in my garage right now. . . .

    Howdy, Y'all

    Heya, Will. You out at the base in Bremerton? When we get settled in, you oughta drop by. We're not far off 16. Hit me at my username @comcast.net .

    Howdy, Y'all

    Hey, I'm back. The Skunk has pretty much been sitting under tarps for the better part of the last two years. But we just bought a house in Gig Harbor and I have my own garage, with a shop. This is a huge thing, BTW, for a II owner who has always lived in a condo and has had to depend on the...

    Woo-HOO!!! 1990 5.0 Longblock!!

    Oh, I have. My current setup is choked somewhat due to the flat-top pistons and the resulting p/v clearance-- or more to the point, lack thereof. When I was getting the cam ground for my current build, the cam shop worked out a set of numbers that they believed would be "ideal" -- it was in...

    Woo-HOO!!! 1990 5.0 Longblock!!

    Christmas ROCKS. My father-in-law bought a 1990 Mustang 5.0 H.O. longblock with the fuel injection setup for pennies; he only wanted the FI off it and doesn't need the engine so, "Merry Christmas, Joey!" Gonna port the heads, throw some 1.7's and a monster cam in that puppy, & bolt on the Tower...

    GT40 vs. GT40P for Mustang II 302

    I just want to make ABSOLUTELY SURE I'm right on this before I shell out the dough. The GT-40 head will bolt up to the Hedman Hedders for a MII. Correct? It is the GT40P head that will not. I have used the search function; I am posting this so there will be a definitive GT40 thread for...

    Been awhile since I updated: All work done by owner. This winter I'll be installing a dual-exhaust flamethrower kit and a line-lock, which I received for my birthday. :D Go-Fast Mods: - 1986 5.0L H.O. Mustang engine - custom-ground Delta cam - Torrington bearing gear drive -...

    Air Shocks...

    I've done this. It works. It isn't comparable to a posi, but it looks good on the street and it may buy you a little on your 60'. Just don't expect miracles. This is shadetree engineering at its finest: cheap and effective, and it makes the big-money Hot Rod Nazis shake their heads and grumble...

    New Toys

    For my birthday I got an exhaust flamethrower kit.:nice: I know what I'M doing this winter. The ricers around here will have no freaking idea what hit them come next spring. :D

    Rear Differential Questions?

    I hate to dig up a thread this old, but Addicted _2_II, did you try the adjustable shock idea? I ran this past spring and summer on it and for stoplight-to-stoplight "arm wrestling" and the occasional burnout, it worked surprisingly well. However, I just picked up a 3.50 limited-slip...

    ON 302 vs. 5.0L H.O. DISTRIBUTORS

    Some notes on my most recent "Voyage of Discovery." Long, but if you've done an H.O. swap into an earlier Ford, you may want to read this. '86 5.0L H.O. with a 1978 302 timing cover -- the serpentine belts wouldn't fit in my engine bay. When I assembled the engine the 5.0 timing mark didn't...

    EFI to Carb

    Carbs are cool. So cool, in fact, that I use two of 'em. :D
