    65 fastback efi performance efi intake?

    I have the Edlebrock Performer EFI and it fits. It is very close to the hood but but it works. My other issue I had was the V brace. I tried a couple different brands, but ended up making my own to fit. I have heard that the GT40 intake with a little porting is a great intake especially for...

    cam off 1 tooth?

    I should be better about taking pictures and that is a great suggestion. The Distributor is the same one that I had been using. Hopefully I will get it put back together in the next couple days and see how it goes. I guess that is what I was wondering if there was a way to tell without taring...

    cam off 1 tooth?

    Yes this is in my 65, and what a fun project this has been! I had it running last year but decided to do some upgrades over the winter, and yes I am using the HO firing order. I am using March Performance bracket kit and it relocates the AC compressor to the bottom passenger side. There is a...

    cam off 1 tooth?

    I had it in the right way. It ran fine. Like I stated in my original post, it was a little rough and it wouldn't idle below 1000. However I did drive it around, and did fine. I really think I had the dots lined up, but I am second guessing myself. Especially since I am having such a hard...

    cam off 1 tooth?

    Part of my winter project consisted of a head swap and installing a trick flow stage 1 cam. When I did the cam install I was very careful about the alignment marks, but.... Here is my problem. I tried to fire off the car and it took a long time messing with the distributor. I Found TDC...

    help with gt40 head swap

    I just ordered ARP bolts and a trick flow stage 1 cam from summit. I think I will run with this for now, and eventually change to 1:6 roller rockers when I figure out what valve covers I want. I have the intake gaskets and head gaskets already, so I should be set! Thanks for the input...

    cam/intake setup dilemma

    I have 2 motors an various parts that I want to build 1 good street EFI motor for my 65. I would like to shoot for the 350-400hp, but that might be out of reach for now. I have been running the Edelbrock performer upper and lower on a stock motor and it really doesn't pull until higher RPMS...

    help with gt40 head swap

    I bought a set of brand new gt40 heads (they have been in storage for a few years) and want to replace the factory heads. The gt40s are assembled, and I think all I need to do is blot them on. My questions: 1) Can I use my stock push rods and rockers? 2) is there a bennifit to changing...

    rack and pinion

    you don't have to change springs to change ride height. just cut a little off the spring at a time until you get the desired ride height. MUCH cheaper then a coil over system.

    Suspension replacement, need opinions

    seriously call John at Open Tracker!! I have been talking to him the past week looking at the same situation as you. John has been great and like it was said before, he won't try to sell you something you don't need. From my discussions with John adjustable strut rods are a good improvement...

    aod problem, lock up???

    I have a 65 mustang that I put in a 5.0 and AOD package. I had my AOD rebuilt awhile back, and I have had nothing but problems with the rebuilder and the tranny. I took it to another tranny shop and at least they new how to set the TV cable. However it still has issues, and I am tired of...

    any aod tranny experts?

    That is really what I think!! He has a VERY reputable reputation. He builds many of the drag car trannies in the area. So it is kinda confusing that he doesn't know what he is doing. Yes at WOT it is shifting early. I guess a shift kit is what I need to look at doing. On either a...

    any aod tranny experts?

    I dropped a 5.0 and AOD into my 65, then had the tranny rebuilt. The tranny builder tried to adjust the TV cable but had some issues. He told he did the factory adjustment by putting the weight on ect... He said it was shifting early, so he kept adjusting the tv outward. Now he is out of...

    Powerstroke Fox-body

    a fully dressed powerstroke is probably around the 1200lb range, pretty heavy for a such a light car. Your best bet would be a VW TDI. They are not huge on power, but with injectors and computer mods, you might be around the 250hp range. The only other option would be a 4bt Cummins. Once...
