    Gap Filler For Fan Shroud?

    For short term testing, the foam works great. But it doesn't last. The tape gets brittle, and the foam will start coming loose. Better to use something more permanent. Here is a shot of the shroud I built for the '66. there is foam against the radiator and the shroud, to get a good...

    FR500 sizing vs 1966 5bolt sizing

    Try this for a pictorial showing backspace and offset. https://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html BTW: this was the first website that came up on a quick Google search. As you'll figure out after reading this site, to use the FR500 wheels, you'll need adapters. And you'll probably find they...

    Borgeson steering with Shelby Pitman arm ?

    I would advise against using the Shelby parts with power steering. The forces are so much higher with power steering, that hitting curbs and potholes can cause damage, or worse, breakage.

    Speedhut Gauges/Tachs???

    I am very happy with the set they did for the '66 Pros: Vastly customizable great quality dimming gauge face (using the headlight dimmer) Cons: more wiring than standard gauges due to the hall effect sensors, and dimming LEDs Before ordering a set, I'd suggest sitting down with the stock...

    GT-350 Rocker Stripes on a Coupe

    I've seen quite a few, and they fit very well on the Coupe. Have you given any thought to doing a Terilingua coupe? Not as many done like this, and it has some neat unique features. Here is one that Dallas Mustang did: 1966 Terlingua Racing Mustang*::*Mustang Parts & Accessories Superstore...

    Wheel choices/ show your wheels

    Photoshop different wheels onto your car to help Lot's of awesome looking wheel choices on this post. To keep that G.T.350 appearance you could go with something like this: 1007-21B Which would allow use of a good high performance tire. These are from Team III and designed with the...

    Serpentine setup for 408w with a Novi 2000

    Not with a Novi 2000 Not with a Novi 2000, sorry. I'm running a Vortech, and a '90 Fox body serpentine. If this is of help, I'd be happy to share more pictures, and info. Notice how much of a "wall" this setup makes? Takes a bit of consideration on how to get all the hot air out of the...

    Yeah, it's an old joke, which is why the little laughing guy was at the end of that line.

    Scott Drake "quality"

    Taiwan is China... Actually Taiwan is PRC, it's just a little rebellious. :rlaugh: So if you know of parts coming from Taiwan, you know of parts coming from China. That said, Taiwan is very modernized. A lot of their factories have newer equipment, and facilities than we have. On the...

    Scott Drake "quality"

    NPD, and the rest have the same issues Not to bash China, or American businesses that buy from mainland China, this just is what it is. Mainland China is like dealing with a third world country. Quality is not a cornerstone of business, unlike in Malaysia or Taiwan. I've had the opportunity...

    66 mustang and vortech

    The supercharger kit will fit fine. If you go to an 8 rib pulley setup, the room will be very limited with the serpentine belt system. The A/C compressor will require new hoses to mate with your system. And the same thing applies for the stock Fox power steer pump (there are two different...

    64-66 Mustang 24" Radiator Conversion DIY

    I did something similar a few years back. Grafting a '67 radiator support in, and then using the Griffin '68 Big block aluminum radiator. I used a '68 radiator shroud and fabricated it to hold two electric fans. But I am using the '66 A/C condensor, as it doesn't block the flow all the way...

    4 Wheel Disc Brakes - Power or Manual?

    Good question Ferf. No you will not have to modify the pedal. As to choice between kits, I'd look at quality of components, and parts availability, from a local supplier. Can you get the master cylinder or master cylinder rebuild kit from Napa, or do you have to go back to the company you...

    Gauges for 66

    Similar to Blown 65 I did a package with Speedhut gauges (like Blown65), only using the stock bezel and a Rally Pac. I have a stock Cobra dash mounted tach, and will add a mini, shift light for track duty. here's the gauge package. (btw) They have a 4" speedo, that would have looked...

    Spindles to help with R&P, rack and pinion reduced turning radius? CSRP/Granada?

    I was under the impression that the stock '70 spindle had a shorter arm, and therefore did not see a reduction in turning radius (in comparison to the '65-'66). Might be worth checking on. Also, on the P.M. bump steer kit, It lowers the tie rod a set distance. This may or may not be the...

    Aftermarket gauge quesiton

    Yes you can, but it will take some ingenuity, and fabrication skills. One of the guys on here built a custom dash while keeping the stock speedo. He posted some excellent pictures of what he did to make it work. Basically you would be working in reverse, but same idea. Do a search for it...

    CPRstreetmachines 1969 Turbo'd Pro-Touring GT2 build

    3M clear mask stuff. 3M makes a clear adhesive tape mask for cars to stave off paint damage from track usage. I've never tried it, but have seen it used. I'm told it peels off after the track event. Might be worth trying. That paint really did turn out awesome. As is the whole car...

    In general, how do stock '65s handle twisties

    If the car is in good shape, it will handle just fine. There are no long grades (it's a coastal highway). The single biggest concern is emergency braking (read, idiots who pull out without looking, and those that slam on the brakes because they *might* miss a view). So take a flash light...

    66 Coupe 4.6 DOHC Build update

    Hey Brett, The car is on hold for a while. I have to get some projects done on the house. So I've got about another month of "home improvement time". I may just wait until next spring to get back on the car again. I'm a "fair weather tech". :D Which electric window kit did you end up...
