    Building a new motor for my II but there is so many choices......

    I have a mild 1975 306 with stock heads. It has flat top pistons, roller rockers, Edelbrock Performer Intake, Cam and Carb. In a light weight II it is an "E" ticket ride!! I have an Edelbrock Nitrous kit also (for added tire smoke). Naturally asperated it is O.K, but I am saving for Edelbrock...

    Coil spring compressor

    Many cars require a spring compressor for safety reasons, a II is an exception to the rule. I have removed 100's of springs without any problems. I think you would have to be really reckless to have an accident. As with any dangerous procedure on a car, if you take the proper procautions and...

    Posi Rear question

    Bro: I would consider a powertrax www.powertrax.com P/N 1810. The unit replaces the spider gears, it can be installed in your driveway in an hour, without special tools or need to re-lash the gears. wow, I sound like a salesman.....oh wait :D If I ever get rid of my spool, this...

    cursed

    keep the faith brother :D I worked on my Mach for 8 years, and there were times where I thought that there was some kind of un-natural force that would not allow me to ever finish it. If you work long enough and hard enough, it is possible, or in my case I just kicked my wife out on her &*^...

    Back II it

    Went to my garage on Sunday in hopes of removing the second gear challenged C4 from the II. The moron who rents the other side of the shop left the door open. there is a wall to seperate the two shops, but if your a bird it is easy to enter my shop from the other. There was a 1/2" layer of bird...

    Coil spring compressor

    Never used a spring compressor on a II. I chain the springs when I take them out. Putting them in. Jack the car 2 1/2' off the ground. I start with the shock off (it gets in the way). with the lower ball joint seperated rotate the control arm as far as it will go, use a pry bar to get it to go...

    Compression ratio

    If the flat top pistons are level with the top of the bore, use a 85-93 302 H.O as a refferance. happy head hunting :D Remember not to give up too many CC's to raise the compression ratio, you may be better off with less compression and larger ports. 302's do not breath much. I picked 58cc...

    Mustang Club Member???

    Everytime I drive the II, some Mustang club dude tries to recruit me. I have not joined any of them so far. Some sound interesting: track day's and drag racing, others don't: car shows, matching lawn chairs and stuffed toddlers. Do you guys have any thoughts or experiances on joining a Mustang club?

    My car just has an inexpensive keyless entry system with 13lbs power door lock solinoids attached to the door latchs. Then just remove and un-hook the door handels, weld in a patch. I have it wired in such a way that it does not operate when the engine is on. (so no one falls out) :D

    302 vs 351

    I have been looking into it and I think a 302 stroker (347) is the way to go! It used to be that the 347 was a race only piece, but one company (forget the name) is offering a 347 where the ring does not go thought the wrist pin area. The 302 based engine came factory and it could be installed...
