    289/302 heads.

    I spoke to the seller and they are allegedly from a 91-94 302 motor. The existing engine i am told came out of a 67 cougar. Can handle the loss of some performance esp if it helps me get on the road sooner. Plus our gas prices are going up again as our government goes all "green". Thanks for...

    289/302 heads.

    HI all, I've been offered a pair of 302 heads in better condition than my existing (i think) 289 heads that will allow me to get back on the road quite a bit quicker but can anyone tell me where I can find info on the differences between the 2 head types and if I need to do anything to...

    Ford is suing companies for use of Mustang name?

    :lol: Made me laugh, not many people seem to realise that the design and spec requst for the P51 came from the RAF so maybe its time for them to raise some cash and drop a letter to Bill at Ford and ask for £10,000!!! As someone said here earlier they lost out on the GT40 to the extent of...

    Modern 4.6L v8 to a '67 coupe.

    The actual tax on our gas is roughly 70% here in England. (at the moment its £1 a litre so only 30p is actually to the fuel company), we're just taxed stupidly here in all sorts of ways so the government dont have to put up the tax either on our wages again or VAT (value added tax) on the things...

Remember gas is a by product of crude oil and as such shouldnt actually have any particular value.However we all have to get around and so have little choice but to pay, our government here tells us we should use public transport, however years of neglect has meant we dont...

    Is this the end of the second muscle car era?

    If i dont empty my 289's tank right down it costs me about$85-90 to fill up over here. It was always going to happen but where we in the UK pay 70% tax on our fuel you guys are just catching up. Its a sad state of affairs but as mentioned here i think the SUVs are gonna be hardest hit. There is...
