    MII Hood Struts?

    I know I've seen a few MII owners that have installed hood struts, and even one that was selling a MII-specific kit, but I wasn't in the market at the time. For those with hood struts, what are you using? A kit to fit another car, junkyard parts? I read on this site that MRT has a new kit...

    Hood/Cowl Damage

    I have heard of a number of MII owners having their hood fly up causing damage to their hood or cowl. Apparently it happened to my '78 Ghia before I bought it as I have a crease in the cowl where the back edge of the hood would hit. I've heard of a couple of ways of preventing this, usually...

    NASCAR Superspeedway Modified MII's

    I saw a pic of a Mustang II "Baby Grand" racer years ago (maybe in Rocco's catalog?) and thought that it wold be neat to chase one down and use it in a vintage race series. The Baby Grand series raced MII's, Monza's, Vegas, Capri's, Pinto's, Datsun B210, etc. on oval tracks. The car weight was...

    New Ford 5.0L V8

    I'm sure most of you have seen the pics posted on the site of the new Ford 5.0L V8 (The 5.0 Mustang is Back! | StangNet). It looks like a great engine to carry Ford into the future, even though its proabably not a great transplant option for the II. I found a slightly more technical...

    Suspension R&R and 1" Lowering

    I have had my '78 Ghia apart for years, but its finally starting to come back together. I redrilled the leaf spring mounting holes (on the shackles and forward hangers) 1" higher since I had them off, but now need to do something on the front. I have heard that removing 1/2 coil will result...

    There have been rumors around for months about a possible new repro gas tank, but now I can confirm them. I have received a prototype from Spectra Premium and have done an initial installation for fit. It looks great and seems to have identical dimensions to the tank that came out of my 1978...

    Vacuum resevoir replacement?

    Anybody replaced their vacuum resevoir canister lately? If so, what did you use? I was inside the fender on my Ghia and found the whole bottom rusted away on mine. Back in the mid-'80's I replaced the one in my '76 hatch with the current Ford replacement part at the time...from an early...

    Possible new Bellhousing for V8 MII?

    Quicktime is offering a new bellhousing for Ford V8's. They have models for the 5.0/5.8, 4.6/5.4, and I believe that an FE version is on the way. Each can mount a T-5, T-45, or TKO trans. The ability to mount the T-45 gives a new source of inexpensive used manual trans. EDIT: Opps, the...
