    I bought a new front suspension kit (upper/lower control arms, spring perches, etc., etc.) but I'm not having any luck finding the correct torq specs for all of the bolts. Is "crank it until it breaks, then back it off a 1/2 turn" :D Any help would be great. Thanks!

    "Skinnies" / Front runners / pizza cutters...

    I'm trying to locate a pair of Torq Thrust (or look-a-likes).... I'm going for that nostalgic drag look. My question is: how narrow did they make them? 4 inches? 4.5 inches? Any chance that they exist in a 14" or is my only option a 15" ? Now for the "fun" part .... what backspacing would I...

    I'm running a 347 stroker/approx 400hp, that will see occasional abuse on the street/strip, and moderate use as a "daily driver" What are your suggestions for a clutch/pressure plate that will hold up to the abuse? Also, should I be concerned about the strength of my stock z bar? Will any of the...

    Equalizer/Z bar length

    I ended up with an equalizer/z bar with a pile of things I had purchased, but I'm not sure if it's for an 8cyl or a 6cyl. I have a '65 fastback with a 289 block, and a T-10. How long (or wide) should the bar be from the block side mount to the inner fender mount? Thank you in advance for your...

    Motor Mounts

    I'm needing some advice on motor mounts. I have a '65 fastback that I'm working on. Currently I need everything-- including the frame mounts. I'm running a stroked 289 and I want to run a decent set of headers, and I heard somewhere that I need the 1966 mounts to gain clearance for the headers...

    I'm looking at a T-10, but I can't find anything out there to decode the numbers on the case & tail. Can anyone help me out? Does this fit a Mustang or a Falcon (or both)? Close ratio or wide ratio (or can you tell from the numbers?) Case: T-10 H-1 W.G. Div W-1 Tail: T-10 H-7B W.G. Div...

    65/66 VIN/Title

    I'm around the Wichita area. I've seen the pics of the cars on the Mustang Parts of Oklahoma website--they sure do have a lot of cars! That's incredible that you know the guy that owns it--I appreciate you checking with him to see if anything he's got has a title. I've tried to locate the last...

    65/66 VIN/Title

    Nope, no door tag either. I'm pretty sure that the door on it was damaged in the crash, becuase the one that's on there now is blue, and the rest of the car is red. I checked under the carpet--no luck. I'm planning on doing some variation of a restomod. I've got a 347 stroker all ready to drop...

    65/66 VIN/Title

    I'm in Kansas. From my understanding, there should be a VIN number stamped on the inner fender panels on both the drivers side and passenger side, but since both of them were damaged in the crash, they were cut out and thrown away. I was hoping to find something with a title, so I could transfer...

    65/66 VIN/Title

    I recently purchased a '65 fastback that had been wrecked in the front, but the rest of the car is in pretty good shape. Someone started to repair the front by cutting out the radiator support, inner fender panels, etc., etc. which were discarded (idiots) and so the car has no VIN number, and it...
