    G-force T-5 parts availability

    I spoke to Bruce at Modern Driveline about getting a T-5 built up with G-force internals. He said he's having a hard time getting parts from G-force - currently on a 3-week backlog, and he's not even sure if that's accurate. Anyone else having a hard time getting G-force parts? Anyone found a...

    306EFI/Novi1000 dyno curves

    Finally got a successful dyno run this morning, after a few days of fussing with injector sizing, spark plug gaps, etc. Super pleased with the results - the power number exceeded my best guess. 445rwHP @ 5,750RPM 427ft-lbs @ 4,600RPM Thought I'd share, 'cause I'm geeked...

    '65 w/ EFI and Novi1000

    I'm planning to do some sort of write up on this, particularly if you all express some interest, but I thought I'd drop in a sneak-peek at the Novi1000 installed in my '65 with EFI. Took it out for a spin this morning, and believe I'm already hooked on forced induction. It pulls like you got...

    Supercharger and EFI in a 65

    Now that my '65 has been done for a year, been to the road course a few times, and is running like a champ with the Systemax / EFI setup, I've come to a critical conclusion: fasterer is betterer I searched on this and didn't find the answer I was looking for - who's done a centrifugal...

    Hot front brakes after open track session

    I took my '65 to an open track day just north of Detroit two weekends ago (Waterford Hills for the locals), and had a blast. First time with the 'stang on an open track since its resurrection - very very pleased with the way the car performed, thanks largely to all the advice and cumulative...

    header tank question

    I built a header tank to control fuel-slosh in my '65 5.0EFI. Fabricated it from 3" steel tubing to hold about 0.4 gallons of fuel, with appropriate inlet and outlet ports, TIG welded it all up, then POR-15'd the outside. It'll tuck up behind the rear splash pan, alongside the fuel tank on the...

    Fuel filler door - wtf

    This is a minor gripe, but the fuel filler door on my '05 doesn't fit right - it doesn't line up with the body lines properly and never seems to close completely. Anyone else have the same problem? Know of an aftermarket resource for a billet filler door or something similar?

    Maier springs and ride quality

    Just installed a set of Maier racing 165race springs on the back of my '65. I think you'd call them 4-1/2 leaf mid-eyes with the leafs biased towards the front. That way, they prevent axle hop and eliminate the need for traction bars. I also installed Poly bushings on both ends with big...

    Dakota Digital tach error?

    My Dakota Digital dash for a '65 has a bar-type tachometer (faster the engine turns, the more bars). The whole bar seems to be offset, though, relative to the printed numbers. In other words, the first bar doesn't light until about the 800RPM mark, and it appears to idle at 1600-1800 RPM. The...

    Aluminum Driveshaft

    I'm having a driveshaft made up for my '65 -306 EFI w/ about 350FWHP, 350ft-lb FWT, Cobra T-5 trans and 9" rear. I'm planning on mostly street-driving, hopefully a little road racing, and limited drag strip (maybe once just to see). The driveshaft shop recommended a 3.5" OD 6061-T6 aluminum...

    EFI fuel pumps

    What's everyone using for fuel pumps on 5.0EFI conversions? I know Windsor Fox recommends a Bosch frame mounted pump and sells them for about eighteen million dollars - what else is everyone using? btw - my setup is a 5.0 with the Holley Systemax II package - Holley says 350HP. Need a fuel...

    JBA headers don't fit! help?

    I bought a set of the JBA shorty headers (their P/N 1650) for installation on a 5.0l installed in a '65 coupe. After being floored by the price, I dusted myself off and took them home from NPD. Driver's side is OK - seems to fit fine, but the header tube from the second cylinder back on...
