Hi All, Just finished installing SN95 Cobra Brakes Front and Rear on my 1970 Grande using a kit from Street or Track. Everything seems to work well except for the pedal effort. I have to stand on the pedal to get the car to quick stop and I don't think I could lock the wheels up if I tried...

Can anyone tell me what the bore size is for the OEM master brake cylinder that was used in a 1970 Mustang with Power front disk brakes? Not sure if they are different for power vs manual but I suspect not. Thanks!

Let's try this over here, nobody in 5.0tech seems to know the answer. I'm hoping someone can tell me what the proper procedure is for removing the rear bearing on a 3G alt? I tried prying on it a little, but it wasn't moving and I'm worried I'll screw something up. Thanks! Check...

What's the best way to remove the rear bearing from a 3G alt? I tried prying on a little, but don't want to screw it up. Thanks.

Where did you guys get the v-groove pully from? My stock pully is the wrong size (shaft size is too small) and all of the 3G alts in the junk yard had a 6 or 8 rib pully. Thanks!

How is it holding up? Most of what I've read, people are happy with the results immediately after the paint job... but i'm curious if they are still happy a year or 2 later. Anyone got some time/miles on a $50 paint job?

Was hoping someone here knows what PS fluid is used in a mid 80's ford fullsize? My pump is from a 86 F150, but I'm pretty sure the same pump was used in most of the fullsize vehicles from that era. Hoping I can get away with ATF....

A guy here locally has a B&M "Percision Sport" shifter for sale. Part number 45050 Precision Sport Shifter '83-'03 Mustang Was thinking of replacing the stock shifter in my T5 Is this a good shifter or should I hold out for someting better? I plan to upgrade to a GeForce T5 someday...

I had always been under the impression that you had to run shorter pushrods in a 69/70 351W due to the shorter deck height. But the other day I was browsing the summit catalogue and was surprised to see all of the 351W pushrods being advertised as fitting 69-78 engines. What's the deal...

I'm ditching the stock power steering pump. I works great, but I can't get the damn thing to stop leaking. I don't know what god you non-leaky pumpers have been worshiping, but it must not be mine. I've gone through 2 different pumps and 2 different sets of hoses. I've had everything...

Thinking about swapping the balancer from my 1988 351W parts engine to my 1970 351W engine. I believe all 351W's used 50oz unballance. So that should mean that all of the balancers are interchangeable right? Any gotcha's? Timing marks are all the same? Thanks!

Has anyone modified their distributor to only drive the oil pump? I plan on doing a EDIS conversion and won't be needing the distributor for anything other than running the oil pump. Was thinking about just cutting the top of the dist off as per the pic below. Then maybe put a...

For those of you that didn't already know: The mexican blocks are stronger. Not because of high nickle content, but because there is more metal used in the blocks, and used in the spots that matter. Here's a link to a thread with lots of great info and side by side pics of mexican vs...

Thinking about going distributorless on the 351W using EDIS. Have heard nothing but good things about the EDIS system. I believe I've got everything figured out except how to mount the 36-1 trigger wheel. Anyone have any advise on how to mount the wheel? Can't seem to find any...

I was hoping that one of you fine mods would change my username for me (or tell me how to do it myself). I've pulled the bottle of out the '70 and replaced it with a turbo. I was hoping you could change my name to "ForceFed70" or something close to that if the name is already in use...

1st test drive with the new turbo setup was last night, and I'm still smiling! I've got a bunch of tuning work to do still, it goes way lean until about 3300rpm where it then goes rich. But already I'm seeing the potential. With some tuning I'm confident I can get it to make the same...

Hi guys, I'm planning to build a 351W that can handle up to 600hp FWHP max. Since I plan to make this HP with a turbo, I won't be spinning it too high (6000RPM max). So my question comes down to head bolts. If this was a 302 I'd definately use ARP or another high quality bolt. But...

Got a parts washer for Christmas and was wondering what the best solvent to use is? Does brake clean come in gallon jug size? Seems to work great out of the aerosol cans. I've also been told varsol (is this a type of paint thinner) and laquer thinner also work well.

Well, I'm finally ready to start posting some information on my turbo build. This will be a winter long project and I will keep updating this thread with progress pics and info. Car: 1970 Mustang Grande: - 351W Rebuilt stock bottom end - 9.5:1 compression - Ported stock heads, machined...

I've heard some complaints about fitment with these guage pods/trim. How bad is it? I need a nice clean way to mount a couple of guages and don't have a center console. Here's what I'm looking at: http://www.mustangsunlimited.com/itemdy01.asp?T1=PP68C+01&Category=&catkey=EMUSTANG
