    Strongest series Mustang II? Boss?

    I don't know how much this helps you, but the Mexican version of the Mustang II used a 302 V-8 rated at 205 horsepower. 20 percent over that would get you to 246 HP. https://www.mustangspecs.com/ford-mustang-models/ford-mustang-model-list-all/mexican-mustang-variants/

    Progress Thread Cobra II Resurrection

    I welded up the last hole in the floor pan. It turned out to be a grinder cut. When I looked underneath, the bracket for the emergency brake had a corner cut off and the cable was not being held by the bracket. So today I had to fabricate a missing corner on the bracket. My guess is that the...

    No, this was an upholstery guy in Georgia in the 1980's. PO was PHD Leasing in California. We are the second owner and bought the car in 1978 when it was 2 years old.

    I welded up a few dozen nail holes in the floor pan and ground them down. Still have to clean up the bottom side. Every time I thought I got them all, I would find one or two more. Still have one spot left in the back to weld and grind.

    My thoughts exactly. I think the carpet was off a roll and he just gathered it in the corners and shot a nail through it. Who needs molded carpet when you can just pin it in place with nails? :scratch::bang::doh:

    The repaired center section is headed to a good home. I have another used OEM center section that is in very good condition that I have fitted to the car. I spent the last couple of days removing the factory sound deadener from the floor. Back around 1984ish I paid an upholstery guy in...

    If anyone is in need of a center section for a rear spoiler, send me a PM. I no longer need this one. It also has a broken stud repaired and a couple of others beefed up with epoxy.

    Progress Thread Cobra II Resurrection

    Spent a couple of days repairing a cracked corner on the rear spoiler. It looks like it was repaired previously with bondo by the original owner early in its life. We bought the car in Feb. 1978, so the car was only 2 years old at that point. I removed all the bondo with a sanding pad on a die...

    Mustang II V6 conversion to V8 HO and T5 problems and solutions

    This is the timing cover I used with a late model roller lifter engine going into our Cobra II with front dipstick hole and mechanical fuel pump - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B58Q37Z6. I also had to install a press-in plug in the block for the side dipstick hole. I don't recall the size of the...

    I have a high idle issue with my 1974 mustang 2 v6 2.8

    Also, your photo shows an electric choke terminal with no wire connected to it. That could be preventing the high idle cam from disengaging.

    Mustang II V6 conversion to V8 HO and T5 problems and solutions

    I think mine is 1/2" NPT threads. But, you can get a brass 1/2 x 3/8 reducing bushing at most hardware stores if it needs to be 3/8".
