Just pulled my 351w and AOD setup from my car. I now have $6K to spend on some goodies. My thoughts are this. What good is gobs of power in a car that can't handle it. Although my engine and trans combo was awesome. I wanted to go a different route. NEW stock suspension and power steering...

I need to replace my multi-function switch. Does anyone have a resource I can find out how to get to it? I've been looking on the internet for some time without finding any directions on how to get to the switch. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a 89 351 in my 68. I have a 89 power steering pump on but the original hoses don't match up plus they look pretty tired. Is there a new hose kit or adapter that I could buy that will hook the two up?

I figured I'd upload a quick little video of my car running. It has taken me 3.5 years to get to this point and after hearing this bad boy run it was all worth it. The camera was a little too close to the car, so it doesn't sound as good as it does in person but you'll get the point...

I've recently put a 351w into my 68 mustang and also added a AOD transmission. I've gotten to the point of only needing a speedometer cable to finish everything up. I'm not too sure what is needed though. I have a 5" autometer speedometer and a AOD tranny if that helps. I know I need a...

I am trying to place the order for the last few parts that will allow me to get my car running. I have a 89 351W hooked up to a freshly rebuilt AOD. Everything is done except my transmission lines. I have all the pieces with the exception of the fittings that go into the tranny. I can't...

Just got my engine put in - you can see the thread here. http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=711901 I have two sets of headers that I got on the cheap. The first set I got was some crappy 351w swap headers from ford. The second set was a much better pair from BBK - both headers...

NOT REALLY THAT SMALL. I'll just let the pictures do the talking. Some nice new brake line work for the new discs. Just need to do some bleeding. I was so happy to get the engine off of it's stand - where it's been for almost 3 years. I decided what a better opportunity to take a pic than...

AFter getting the 17's on this bad boy, I knew it needed some disks. Went to diskbrakeswap.com on the suggestion from members of this board. Glad I did! The directions were as clear as day, and even had some funny "remarks" in there as well. Here are some pics. I ended up replacing the...

Well as promised. PICS may look a little off, as I just threw on my fenders and photoshopped the front end down some as My engine is out still on the stand next to the car. I got the 7x9.5 with 6-3/8 backspace and 17x8 with 4.5 backspace. The tires are 275/40 in the rear and 245/45 up...

I've gotten almost everything I need - I just have a question about flexplates. I know I need the 164tooth - 50oz for my 1989 351W. My engine has 1 piece main seal not two. But every 50oz 164tooth flexplate I find is for a 2 piece rear seal not the 1. Are they talking about the same...

Well i'm just about set to lay down the big $$ on my rims and tires. I've been doing a ton of research but still wanted to ask a question or two. I'm looking to get TT2 - 17x9.5 and 17x7 or 8. I have a 68 mustang with shelby drop, and 620 springs. Stock sagging rear which is at perfect...

Looking to pick up a used or remanuafactured transmssion. Not sure where to really start though. What year tranny should I be looking for? What cars carried c4's? Are some better than others. I'm not too concerned if it is a smooth shift or not, as my first step will be to put a shift kit...

never mind - staying with the auto.

Well my 68 mustang came (to me) with a 302 and a FMX tranny. I've since then built up a new 351W and am ready to purchase my tranny. So what do you choose? At this point I'd like simpler. So I'm pretty sure I'm dumping the auto - T5 Conversion idea due to the amount of parts I'd need to...

Well I haven't been posting much on here, but I do alot of research here. Last post I made was of me pulling my engine. Well I've almost finished up my new 351W. Only things left to buy are the distributor, ignition, and tranny. Won't be long before my baby is back to life. Here are some...

I figured since my drivetrain is almost complete (Just waiting on a few more parts and some $$$) I figured I'd start working on some of the little stuff that can be done. So I figured I'd post up some pics. Got some 01 seats... and finally painted my intake Started painting some OLD...

I finally found my print out of what I know went into my engine. This engine was a purchased remanufactured 351w 1989, then brought to a performace shop - I basically told the guy as much performance to this engine while using the stock heads (for now) for the amount of money I wanted to spend...

I'm finally getting around to buying the remaining engine parts I need to finisher the ol' girl up. I have a 1989 351w engine, what rotation water pump do I need? For some reason I think someone down the line mentioned reversed.. But how do I know for sure? Other Items I'm looking...

When painting the engine, do I Primer it first? I have the Hi-temp paint - and the Pre-paint cleaner... Just havent found anything related to prepping the engine.... My major thought to why the answer is no - I have not found any "Hi-Temp" primer... ;) Just thought I'd check here with all...
