Completely tore down and getting refreshed at the machine shop to a 347 stroker. This motor is intended to go into my 67 Mustang that has a 289/C4 combo in it now...

    67 Mustang Tie Rods - Adjustment question

    I'm getting ready to do the Shelby drop on my Stang this coming weekend. I'm also going to replace the strut rod bushings. To prep, I started spraying PB Blaster on the adjustment points. Something odd I noticed is the tie rod adjusters are bottomed out (screwed together) on the driver side and...

    1967 Mustang Coupe - 17" Wheel backspacing

    I was looking on TireRack for a wheel\tire package. On choosing the VN515 Torq Thrust II's the options are 17x7 at 0mm(zero) offset or 17x8 at -11mm offset or 4" on both. I was wanting to run 235/45-17 all around. Researching this online everyone is saying 4.5" offset. Talking with TireRack they...

    Gas pedal bent...

    I noticed every once in a while I have to go floor board diving and bend my gas pedal back out. It is attached with a thin wall u-groove channel that bends very easy. I can tell when it gets bad because I can tell I'm not getting full pedal travel (Full Power) I reach down and pull it back...

    Head/Cam choice with P1SC Procharger

    Ok, I think I want to add a little zip to the car and a nice thumpy idle. The thing is I already have a P1SC Procharger install and really love the whine at red lights. But I want my cake and eat it to. I would really like to have a nice lumpy idle and increase the power a little. I still...

    Finally did it! Into the elevens!

    Well, I went over to the Fun Ford Weekend and ran True Street. I was trying to make a run for the 12.00 win but I wasn't sure since I had never ran my car with the SC or MT Streets. Wow what a difference the MT Streets made. I ended up about 2 out of the trophy with a 12.33 average on Saturday...

    Cobra Cluster in a GT?

    Will a 2003 SVT Cobra Instrument Cluster fit in my 2003 GT? If so is there anything I would need to do to make it work. It has 'zero' miles on it. Of course I know the boost gauge won't work, but I'm thinking it would be a nice upgrade since I like the white face gauges and the SVT logo. Any...
