I noticed my drivers side motor mount was broken today when changing the oil. The rubber part of the mount failed and is severely split. I want to replace both sides since they are the same age. How difficult is it to replace these with the motor in the car? Do I just need to replace the...

I have had this problem since I did my engine swap, but thought it was more to do with tuning issue so just continue to tune on the car and not pay much attention to it. But I think I have the motor dialed in really well now and I am still getting blue smoke out the exhaust under hard...

A buddy is picking up a 69 Mach 1 that needs both rear quarters replaced and am looking for suggestions on where to get good quality sheet metal. Are there original Ford tooling products available out there or is he at the mercy of chancing the reproduction offerings?

So I finally have some time to get the Stang inspected so I can start enjoying it for the summer and the dang horn doesn't work. So I go back home and start to troubleshoot. Here's what I have found: I jumped a wire from the + battery to the horn and it works no problem. I removed the horn...

The lug nuts on my left rear tire have come loose twice now and I don't know why. I have tourque Thrust D wheels by American Racing and am using the acorn style lug nuts. The last time it happened, I made sure to tourque the lugs down pretty damn tight. This doesn't happen on any of the other...

I was attempting to isolate a ticking sound that I have been assuming was noisy rockers. I wanted to be sure I didn't have an exhaust leak before getting into adjusting my rockers for nothing, so with the engine running, I put my hand down around the headers to feel if there was any air...

I have a 347 from CHP with hydraulic roller cam & valvetrain, 8 qt oil pan, high volume oil pump. CHP suggested I run 20w50, which I did for a while, but when I changed my oil I decided to go with Mobil 1 10w30 synthetic based on input from knowledgable people etc. Using the 10w30, I have very...

I feel a little silly asking this, but I need to know, so here goes. I am running this Milodon 8 quart oil pan on my 347 and using this Ford Racing oil dipstick mounted on the front timing cover. My question is my dipstick shows full with only 6 quarts of oil, but I was expecting to use 8...

I'm wonderring what others have their rev limiters set to? My engine is a 347 with AFR 185's, hydraulic roller cam, lifters & rockers, RPM Air intake, Holley 670cfm, Hooker comps. It's been set to 5800 rpm, but I seem to hit it a lot if I do a burn out or launch aggressively. I would rather...

The dash lights in my 68 haven't been working for a while, but I put it on the back burner since I don't usually drive it at night. Well, my punchlist is getting smaller and it's time to resolve this. Here's what I know: The headlight switch was replaced new a couple of years ago The fuse for...

I decided to go with the Crane Pro-Curve Billet distributor and their HI-6S CD ignition box for my new 347 last year. The reason I went this way was the technology in the distributor is all digital and does not require spring swaps for dialing in mechanical advance or adjustments to a vacuum...

Helping my buddy solve an emergency brake problem on his 67 Fastback. He has 9 inch reaerend with factory drum brakes. The rear brakes are adjusted fine such that on jack stands, car running and in drive, he applies the brake pedal and the tires stop as they should. If he uses the emegency...

Well, took the stang out for a ride tonight and I noticed a pretty loud ticking from the drivers side valve cover. It sounded bad enough for me to turn around and head home. About 1 mile from home, I heard something from the top of the enginemm. Finally got it home, popped the valve cover and...

A friend of mine recently picked up a 67 FB and we have been going through it making repairs and upgrades etc. He has a 9" rear end with worn clutches and is having trouble getting the correct clutch replace parts. The car is currently in a shop owned by a trused friend to do the rear end...

I'm helping a friend do some upgrades on his 67, one of which is power disc brake upgrade. I put the SSBC Force 10 front kit on my car a couple of years ago and have been really impressed with the performance and quality, so he will probably go with this kit as well. When looking at the kits...

Anyone using the Tinman subframe connectors, particularly on a 67/68 FB? Looking for feedback from people who have actually installed and are using this product before I move forward and purchase. They look like a nice fit and install, but how well do they perform? Thanks

My buddy just picked up a 67 FB and is having all the symptoms of an unvented fuels system (stalls after running a bit, top of gas tank is collapsed) and according to the service manual, these systems were vented through the gas cap. The PO replaced the tank and sending unit and the cap that is...

I am heading to Carlisle next week and hope to find either an upgrade to my existing 8" rearend or a replacement 9". I currently have 2.79:1 open differential and would like to get something in the 3.73:1 ratio with a True Trac or comparable. So I guess what I'm asking is - how do I identify...

My friend is purchasing a 69 fastback located in FL and needs to have it transported to MA. Before he chooses a company out of the yellow pages, was hoping someone from this board could reccomend one based on their good experience. Thanks in advance.

I realy want to resolve the rattles and noises in my 68 FB and am planning to do a complete interior sound dampening project and am looking for opinions. What are the best products to use and why? Have seen some spray on as well as peel & stick (Dynamat, B-Quiet etc) but am not sure what to...
