I was putting back together my engine after replacing the water pump gasket and was trying to start it. The timing had been thrown off and I also was out of fuel. I filled up the tank and began to turn over the engine to get it to prime and while cranking it began to knock/rattle. It sounded...

PM me if you have any! 3.25's - 3.73's. Thanks

Now that i've got the engine wrapped up i'm having some difficulty keeping it under control. I want to completely rebuild the suspension. I have come up with different totals depending on the approach I want to take replacing what needs to be done. Also I want to add one of the basic handling...

Probably been asked too much, but I just pulled out my old jets to return to the stock size. I pulled out holley jets that say; 67H. It also looks like they are black. Does this have any significance over stock brass jets with only a number stamped in?

With winter here and a previous problem with gasoline in the oil, i've had my experiences with thin and thick oil. I was wondering what everyone's opinions were on the effect upon an engine. I assume that thin oil, causes a drop in oil pressure due to reduced resistance, and lack of lubrication...

How hard shouldn it be for the lifters to collapse. I have crane hydraulic lifters and when I am adjusting my valves it is almost like mechanical lifters, they are very solid. If I tighten the nut it will push down on the valve. The best i can do is zero lash.

Freshly rebuilt 289. Just got the HEI today and dropped it in. When I fired it up it seems that one or two cylinders don't fire. The headers from these cylinder don't get nearly as hot as the others. I checked spark, the valves don't stick, the lash is at zero (hydraulic liftters), and if I...

Had the engine running fine yesterday, then come back out and couldn't get past timing issues. It seemed to have slipped. I thought it was the a timing chain but then i turned the rotor and the distributor shaft will rotate 360 degrees (or I should say slip 360 degrees). Found my timing problem...

I took my driveshaft in today to have it cut down and the second they looked at it they told me that both of my joints had failed due to the caps wearing and distoring them. Then another guy walks in and immeadiately tells me that my front yoke (output from the tranny) was bad because the caps...

I didn't want to hi-jack the previous thread about fiberglass parts so here it is. There is a one piece fiberglass front end for my mustang (66) around here. It is I think about 200 bucks or so?? Is it really worth the money for these front ends? Is anyone running one of these and if so how much...

Someone around here is selling a Hipo 271hp motor with 4 speed trans? How much are one of these engines worth with transmission?

I am still in progress on converting to the T-5 Transmission. I have already bought a diaphram style clutch kit and would like to stick to it. I have a 5.0 flywheel and I know that Ford Muscle Magazine tells you that a 5.0 flywheel can be machined to 280z for a reasonable price. I called one...

I'm looking at getting a clutch for the Mustang and there are plenty of clutch kits raning from 125-350. I will probably not break 350hp, with the setup I have. Will stock replacement kits for a 5.0 Fox be able to handle this? Is it worth it to step up to "Performance" kits? It will be a street...

Alright I know that I could sit down for a few hours and troubleshoot everything but I think i'm overlooking something small. I just swapped on a 4 bbl intake and carb. I pulled the intake and the distributor along with the battery. It started before but now it won't turn over. I know that the...

I have all the parts together to finish putting in the T-5. The only thing that I am not sure on is the original syle linkage. I would like to use the more modern diaphram style pressure plate w/ Clutch Cable. I know that there are kits to do everything on the swap but I wanted to see if this...

I was wondering if any of you have made a crossmember or modified an original crossmember to make it work for a t-5. I know i've read that it's been done. Anybody have a good way to make something work?

I did put in the C-4 but I have yet to run it. Now that it's in i'm looking to gather up all the parts for the T-5 swap. What I would like to know is what pressure plate/flywheel combo should I use? How does the stock flywheel, stock hi-po pressure plate and clutch compare to something like a...

I am trying to get my mustang back on the road. All I want to do is get it driving. Right now I have the C-4 transmission sitting in the garage with a stock converter. When I rebuilt my engine I put in a high performance camshaft thats suppose to be good in the 2000-5500 range. Could I use the...

My friend has a 4.6 SOHC engine and it clicks at idle. It sounds as if it is somewhere in the valvetrain.....timing chain, valves? Everyone is telling him it's his lifters(do 4.6 even have them?) and if anyone has any ideas how can we check for problems? The clicking is in sync with the engine...

I'm just starting to wrap up my mustang and I am trying to install the T-5. I am coming from a C-4 and I need pedals. What I want to know is if you can install fox body pedals into a 65-66 Mustang. Also if the stock cable will work, since i'm using the t-5 bellhousing. When I bought the T-5 i...
