    Getting My 302 Running Again

    Hey All, So I have been in the process of getting a 1971 302 running again after sitting for about 7 years in a garage. As far as I know, its running a stock cam, heads, and pistons/bore. I bough the engine off a friend's donor car years ago, and it was supposedly rebuilt, but in retrospect...

    What Seats Will Fit in a '67-'68 Mustang

    Hey All, Anyone know what modern seats will retrofit into a 1967-1968 Mustang without heavy modification or welding? I know of the Scat models (Pro Car, Elites) and that SN95's will fit with some minor drilling / mod'ing (that's what I am running now). I've also heard that '80s BMW 325i's...

    Starter Recommendations - 302/4spd Toploader/Headers

    I am finishing up a 302 install with a 4spd toploader, 164T flywheel, and Tri-Y headers. My stock starter is touching the headers and I assume I'll need a mini-starter. I've looked through the forum but have not found any that match my set up. Several of the aftermarker models...

    Hey Everyone, I am thinking about adding an air conditioning system to my '68 and have seen the new kits from Old Air and Vintage Auto Air. They look like great kits but at ~$1000 they are not cheap. I am trying to find out if there are any factory systems that could be sourced from a...
