    The car does not have an engine. I was trying to go back with what was installed at the factory. If date codes will come in to play that will be fifficult. I have a C8 block so I may just go back with it. Thanks.

    1970 Mustang 302 Engine Block Casting? Need help ASAP!

    Does anyone know if an original 1970 Mustang 302 engine block had a D0ZE-6015-A casting numer or did they use 1969 motors which would be C9ZE-6015-A casting number?

    Scattershield with tremec and 351

    I agree that the Quicktime bellhousings work well. Using one in my 1970 Mach 1 with a TKO600. Very light and gives you the protection. Good luck.

    Cam/gear selection for 393w

    I went with a 393 because everyone is building the 408. I am tired of hearing about 408's. Desktop dyno is not realistic but shows 548hp @ 6000 RPM and 524 ft-lbs or torque @ 5000 RPM. The dyno is probably off about 10 - 12%. In my opinion, to get the most out of a 393 or 408 is to go with...

    G-Force or Tremec TKO600?

    I have a 1970 Mustang with a 393 stroker that will be making around 450Hp at the flywheel and 500 ft-lbs of torque. I really like the idea of installing a T5 tranny since the Tremec TKO will require either cutting the transmission tunnel to get the ideal driveline angle or having the back of...

    Tremec TKO in a 1970 Mustang?

    Has anyone donr the Tremec TKO tranny swap in a 1970 mustang? I want to do the swap but I am concerned with getting it to fit. I know Keisler makes a "perfect kit" fit for the modification but they are very expensive. The two areas that need to be figured out is the shifter location (the TKO...

    Do an internet search for Ford Powertrain. I spoke with them today about the exact same setup. The guy said there is no issue with clearance and I am using a TCP rack as well.

    Custom Camshaft

    I am building a 393 with mostly the same parts as your 408. I just paid for my custom cam from Ed this morning. He is great to deal with and knows his stuff. One advantage with a custom cam is the grinder can play with the profile to help with vacuum. I am running Bear disc brakes on all...

    Does Glyptal coating really help oil flow in engines?

    Is coating the areas where oil flows in the engine block with Glyptal really worth the extra work? I know some engine builders use it and some don't. I will for sure blueprint the block and grind away and smooth any areas where the casting is rough. I will chamfer all oil and water passages...

    Edelbrock or AFR Cylinder Heads on my 393 Stroker?

    Thanks for all the great information but you guys are confusing me. AFR 185's on a 408 stroker? That head to me belongs on a 302 or stock 351w. It seems that the 393 or 408 would need to breath????

    People with primered cars, post pics

    I think the deciding factor is what color you are going to paint the car. If a light color, go with light grey. If dark color, go with black. If red, go with red.

    Edelbrock or AFR Cylinder Heads on my 393 Stroker?

    I thought I made up my mind and would go with the AFR 205 for my 393 stroker. Then I started looking at the Edelbrock Victor Jr. cylinder heads. I know Edelbrock make pretty good quality parts and I know nothing about AFR. I am lloking at more than just the head casting but focussing on the...

    What ignition, distributor, fuel pump, and alternator should I use?

    I see that MSD makes a distributor that is specifically for a Victor Jr. Intake? Is there a space issue on the 351w? What exactly is needed for my ignition system for MY engine combo? I see ignition boxes, ignition coils, and power filters. What do all of these do? I need a little help...
