    Randalls Rack and pinion steering

    The Randalls clears most all headers, but you should check with the header manufacturer to make sure, shortys and mid-lenghts are usually no problem, I talked to http://www.fordpowertrain.com/FPAindex/headers1.htm these guys and they guarantee that their long headers will work with the...

    Randalls Rack and pinion steering

    :nonono: Well lets see, paintshop dropped the motor and bent the crank on the stroker kit, so now we are starting over on their dime. Friday I am going to reorder a new block and decide what stroker I'm going to put in, figured since I was back at square one I might as well go a little bigger...

    Randalls Rack and pinion steering

    I have it as well although I don't have my engine in yet, but sofar clearance doesn't appear to be an issue with my 351W, install was a breeze, and if you get a chance check out the latest issue of Mustangs and FOrds, they have a great write up on it.:nice:

    Suspension decisions are killing me...

    will agree that if money is no object, then go with the IRS, or a good 3 link rear. On the wheels, 18's are the biggest I'd do just because any bigger and theres not enough sidewall to give a nice ride on a street car, just my opinion of course, but I like the 17" for a magnum 500, heres a...

    Which Brand of Headers

    Cost will start at $459 and go up depending on whether you want them coated/chromed. Drop them an email or call them and they will give you all the options. I don't have mine yet, but I"m going to use them and get mine ordered up this month, they are running about two weeks out right now.

    Which Headers to go with?!?!?!

    I am thinking of using this company for my 69 fastback with a 351W, C6 auto tranny and a Randalls Rack and Pinion, nice thing is that they have experience with the Randalls rack and know how to work around it, as well as understanding the difficulties of getting around the C6. I bet they would...

    Patriot tri-y fitment problem (rubs on shock tower)

    well here is one more option, but it will cost you $200. I bought these for my 69 351W, so I wouldn't have the same fitment issue, they allow you to move the engine forward/backward as well as side to side...

    WARNING: Not for the faint hearted...

    Definately get your rim checked out for oblong holes. I had a chev one-ton with duallies that the tire shop forgot to torque down and I could here the plate rattling on as I drove down the road. By the time I figured out what it was, the holes were already screwed on two rims and the nuts hadn't...

    Battery in trunk questions

    wow, some really good info here. I am also moving my battery to the trunk and am installing fuel injection on my 351W, I knew that the fuel pump had to be under the car, but reading this convinced me to add a gasket between my new tank and frame, it did'nt have one when I removed the old and I...

    Wheels for my 1969 Fastback

    yea, really like those 500's, going to put them on my car also, but I think I'm going 17x8's up front and 17x9.5's in the back. Just trying to get the rest of the car finished before I choke up the money for them.

    stock fuel tank, are they safe?

    I agree with dawtips, I was more worried about stuff on top of the tank puncturing it, yeah have had the car for over 20 years with no problems, but with moving the battery to the trunk and other trunk upgrades I plan on I wanted the piece of mind that tank armor gives, plus I won't mind the...

    2009 Camaro leaked image

    I like the rear third of the car, but the front two thirds just looks like a squashed redone cadillac, inside does nothing for me either, and yes I have owned GM cars before so I'm not just being a "homer", the challenger is awesome, if I was to buy another new retro car I would seriously look...

    Stripped out engine bay

    68converted Sorry, but I will tell you that in my experience doing this, Simple Green is just that "green". I had very poor results with that product. I got a one gallon bottle from Home Depot, of Zepp's industrial degreaser (purple color). Oh yeah, that stuff will definately remove...
