As in the title - anyone running Spicer 1350 u-joints (or equivalent) on their driveshaft? I've changed my rear end yoke to accept the 1350 size and will soon upgrade the drive shaft, but I can not find a t-5 transmission conversion yoke that uses 1350s (only 1330s). Anyone have experience?

Changing yokes on my 9" and wanted to know if there's a preference between u-bolts and straps to hold the u-joint on. Car will be a steet/strip ride with drag radials at the track. Yoke (u-bolt or strap version) not purchased yet.

I have three sets of original Ford 3.50:1 ring and pinion sets. Are these worth using again? Are they worth anything if I want to sell them? Two are clean and one has some surface rust.

So which is generally preferred with a T5z swap in an early Mustang? I leaning towards the spacer because I have recently upgraded my clutch and pressure plate and have a Lakewood scattershield, but if switching to the newer bellhousing is preferred I will research it more. To install the...

Like the subject indicated...it this possible with 80 (argon) / 20 (c02) gas? Should I use a different gas mixture or just purchase all stainless steel tubing? This is for an exhaust system with aluminumized steel tubing and stainless steel mufflers.

Does anyone know who would make or where to find a set of full length headers to fit a stroked 302 in a 1966 Mustang with Canfield heads (exhaust port raised 0.400")? Also would be nice to fit them on my 1967 when I switch motors down the road. I would like 1 3/4" primaries or stepped 1 3/4"...

Could someone help me find the location on a 1965/66 rear end housing where the vent tube fitting comes out of the rear end? I replace my 1966 8" rear end with a 1957 9" rear end (the 8" is long gone). The vent tube fittings are in different locations on the rear end and I had to make custom...

It looks like gear oil is getting pass the axle seal in the 9” big bearing rear end (both sides), but only leaking on one. Is it normal to have gear oil leak pass the axle seal and get stopped by the flange seal? Both axle seals are new and the axle surface shows no grove in it. When...

I would like to rebuild my 9” third member. So far, I have rebuilt three ford small blocks and one toploader. I have a dial gauge, 150 lb torque wench, and patients. Is this something I could do? I’ve read mixed opinions about taking on this type of project. Please post any first-time or...

I just finished installing my new Crane ignition system (billet dist, HI-6 CD, and LX92 coil) and new Victor jr manifold on my 352 (302 stroked). Rough set the timing and fired it up. Rough at first, but a few turns of the dizzy and it's idling on its own. Grabbed the timing light to set to...

Well, I’m one of the many who purchased a fiberglass part for my Mustang only to have it fit like ****. In my case I purchased a fiberglass hood (the one with the frame) from Mustang’s Plus (MP). It looked good at the store, but was ¾ “ short when I got home. I was very disappointed in the...

Both of my 1" lowering blocks have cracked down the middle perpendicular to the leaf spring. I believe this is related to the arc of the spring and straightness of the lowering block - something had to give. Has anyone else had this problem? How did you correct it? I thought about...

How have you sealed the trap door on your fastback to minimize noise and odors from entering the cab? Also I have speakers in the trap door, so they also need to be sealed too.

After installing my new 352 and roughly doubling my horsepower I’m curious if I should be concerned with permanent twisting of my 1966 uni-body? :shrug: The car should max out around 450 hp, 425 ft/lbs based on similar builds. I have new 5-leafs and a 3/4” sway bar in the rear and 620s, 1”...

What's the extra tube for on the bottom of the overflow tank? I know one goes to the neck of the radiator near the cap, but the other??? :shrug:

PM me if you have a matched set of 302 C8OE rods for sale. Aftermarket is fine also, but must have a 2.239 big end. I might be interested in some 0.030 pistons too. Let me know what you have!

Just checking if idle vacuum flickering is normal for a rather big solid roller cam in a 347: lift- 0.600 w/ 1.6 rockers duration- 249 I and 263 E @ 0.050 The engine vacuum (at idle) flickers around from 6.0 to 7.5. It's a steady pattern with an occasional jump. Anything to be...

It looks like my 352 wants more carb, so I wanted to try a Mighty Demon 750. Currently I have a Holley Pro Series 4150 HP carb (650 cfm). This carb retails for $659.00 at Summit. The carb is in good condition. The only thing I discovered is one of the bolts holding on the rear fuel bowl...

Car was running fine, but I needed to adjust the valves. I decided to use the firing order method to adjust the valves. To turn the motor over I used a remote starter switch. Disconnected the coil wire to prevent fire up and started adjusting valves one cylinder at a time. Adjustment went...

Today I was measuring my piston to head clearance because it looked like some pistons protruded a little. The block was decked (according to the po). Some of the pistons measured higher on one side of the bore than the other, but was not consistent from one piston to the next (per side). So...
