    Hedman 351 headers

    351W headers Hello, It has been some time since I posted here. I used the headman engine swap headers and my experience is different. The ones I used are the slip on type where the pass side front tube runs under the engine crossmember. They did fit well but were extended to low for my liking...

    BRAKE QUESTION 78KC

    I have a 78 KC and recently the brakes are giving me trouble. Here's what is happening. The pedal feels ok when you mash the brakes but if you keep pressure on the pedal, it slowly goes to the floor. Would I be correct to assume that the master cylander seals are bad and not holding? The fluid...

    EXHAUST 78 KING COBRA 351W

    It looks like the bottom of the collector pipe where the flange is is that part that is rubbing and making that wonderful noise when I hit a bump. I did change the crossmember on the drivers side to include a "loop" to allow that side header to come up more. The pass side is where it is rubbing...

    EXHAUST 78 KING COBRA 351W

    Hello all, It has been some time since I have logged on or had time to work on my 78 KC. I installed a 351W with headers. The headers I bought are headmans made for a 302. I cut them and extended the tubiing to make it fit the 351W heads. Here is my dilemma, It all fits but the exhaust sits...

    Exhaust time

    Hello everybody. Its been some time since I have posted here. I have a 78 King Cobra that I put a built 351W into. I used a set of hedman hedders and reworked them to say the least. I then use a set of Flowmaster 40 series mufflers and ran the 2 1/2" pipes out just in front of the rear wheels...

    What 9" will fit a 78KC

    Somebody told me at a local show that a 1958-1960 ford 9" will bolt right in to the mustang II. Is this true? Anyone heard of this. he said he did it with a Pinto years ago and there is virtually no mods needed. :D

    Here are some vids of my dad 77 Mustang

    Well, I do have a question, How did you get those big tires under the rear? (his car sounds like mine (he he) I have a 78 KC with a bored 351 with all of the goodies and I cannot get it to hook up. It's fun to drive but I think "tubbing" it would obviously get the job done not to mention it...

    Front rack "wobbly" on 78 KC

    I noticed the front tires have excessive wear on the outer sides of the tires and when the car is up on a rack, you can move the whells back and forth slightly. (one side more than the other) Is the rack rebuildable or do I need to replace it? If I need to replace it, does anyone have a...
