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...

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...

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

How easy is it to remove the current gauge panel and install a new one to fit my gauges. I dont want to install factory gauges, I want to remove the factory panel and install a new brushed stainless panel (or powdercoated) with high po gauges with a tach. What does this entail and how hard/easy...

Ok, I have a 78 King Cobra and yes I do not know what rear end is in it. :rlaugh: Can somebody help me. What rear end came with the 78KC stock. I know it's stock and I am sure I am going to have to make some changes with the new 351W that I put in it. I am sure something is going to go once...

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...

Ok, after many hours and tweaking, the 351W is in and running and holy crap this things got way too much power. :banana: I installed hedman headers with a few modifications to make them fit. I had a muffler shop install Flowmaster 40 series mufflers and man are they low. They run about 2"...

:D Well, I finally have the 351 running in my 78 KC. All I have to say is HOLY CRAP! This thing rocks. I have not really stomped on it yet because I have open headers and I am afraid of the sound police. :banana: (not to mention that it will not hook up with the stock tires) I am still...

Ok, One more thing. I bought a new 1 wire alternator and the 351W I am putting requires only 2 wires, a gound and a positive for the ignition. It looks like I can get rid of most of the spaghetti in the engine bay and simplify this thing BUT, I didnt want to screw anything up. Hers the...

Ok, Stupid question but what type of fluid do you guys reccomend in my T-5? Lots of torque and some abuse. :banana: I need something that MAY help this trans last until winter.

Well, I am almost done and have documented everything I have done. I can probably create a book from this major PIA swap.. I can honestly say that the worst part of this has been the headers. But once again I am almost there. I decided to wrap the headers after I trial fitted them a few times...

Well, Another update on the 351W swap. The headers have really been holding me up. I finally got them done and it looks nice.( I wrapped them in thermotech wrap to keep the engine bay heat down) I ordered the headman 302 headers and with a little patience they work. I had to lengthen the...
