    blowing smoke :(

    The color is somewhere in the grey/white/blue color. I know its oil because my oil level goes down and my coolant level does not. I Do not see much smoke during cruise. My next step will be to try running exhaust seals with clasps to hold them on the cylinder heads. Unless someone has a...

    blowing smoke :(

    I make plenty of power, but theres always a cloud of grey/white smoke when I take off. It doesnt consume coolant or overheat (so not head gasket). It's oil being burned, but i cant for the life of me find where its coming into the combustion chamber. Heres what I've tested so far on my carb'ed...

    composite or bronze?

    i went with MSD 85833 for my roller cam. not sure if your cam is tougher than the stock 5.0 roller cams, but mine works fine. the gear is steel, and replaced the iron gear used for flat tappets. ive had zero problems, and have had it in there for 20k miles. ive pulled it several times, when...

    Hagerty Insurance?

    i have hagerty zero deductable on my craked windshield no issues with taking the car apart (JCTaylor only covers $300 of your parts you remove, for example when you pull the engine to change cam and heads, coverage gets complicated) so i left JCT and went to Hagerty Hagerty doesnt keep tight...

    How would you build your Mustang?

    i bought a lincoln mark vii for $1000 with 50k miles. i carbed it and now have the 5.0/AOD in my fastback. it was a fair amount of conversion, but wasnt as expensive as efi conversion and a crate transmission. an efi is not as bad if youre starting with nothing though. i partly chose the...

    351W Stroker; 393 vs 408

    So if i went with a 393 roller cam and AFR 205 heads... would it work well on my 4.11 gears, AOD (.67 overdrive gear), and 2500rpm cruise at 75mph on the freeway? I'm guessing i'd be fine, since lots of 383 chevys run higher rpms with TH350s and 3.73 gears how will the raised exhaust port...

    FYI idea: dash tach without drilling

    just wanted to share an idea that saved me from drilling through the dash pad tach pictures from mustangs photos on webshots I used to have the tach hose clamped on the steering column, but wanted it up higher. I bought a magnetic nail-picker-upper from harbor freight tools for $9.99...

    Help Selecting a Power Booster & Master Cylinder for My '65

    i used the SSBC kit, and was disapointed at their "kit". it didnt factor in the pedal leverage, and i had WAY too much leverage, making it too esay to stop the car. i prefer some resistance, and it felt like i could press the pedal down with my pinky. i fixed the issue by having mustang steve...

    silent shackles?

    I'd like to get rid of the squeaking noise from my rear shackles. I recently upgraded my rear leafs to the Maier Racing 165 springs and Bilstein shocks, but reused my 7yr old rubber grommets. the rubber seemed to be in good condition, and i was hoping that just a thick coat of synthetic grease...

    351W Build

    does anyone have fitment experience with raised exhaust ports on a windsor in a 64-66 mustang? js66coupe, what AFR heads were you looking at? 383/393/408 would probably all benefit from something larger than a 185cc head once i put some more miles on my 5.0, id like to build up a windsor and...

    351W Build

    do you plan on using a cast 351 crank? it might not be that much more to go with a forged stroker crank personally, I still like engines that wind up well in the high rpm range. a 408 will not rev as well as a 393 or 383. im not saying you cant take a 408 to high rpms, but it wont have...

    '68 side scoop on '66?

    i might have to fit one up to know for sure. as far as the contortion comment, im 6'6" and occasionally find myself having to do yoga to get out of the car. its not the act of driving into the space that im worried about, just me needing all the space i can get through the door. ive thought...
