    How to drag race your classic

    How can I check drivetrain angle? I did a t-5 swap and maybe that threw off the angle. Do you think since Im not launching hard and it still hops than it is something other than the leaf springs? MustangMatt, did your car shutter real bad even when easing off the clutch, or only under hard...

    How to drag race your classic

    right now I cant even let off the clutch without my back tires jumping off the ground (literally-my friend behind me said he saw daylight under the tires). And that is not from hard launches, just easing off the clutch- no gas. But no telling how old these leafs are so I really think this will...

    How to drag race your classic

    Does anyone have experience with the Competition Engineering Slide-a-links? They look and cost the same as cal-tracs but I found a good deal on a set and was wondering if they will work as well as the cal-tracs. Thanks

    How to drag race your classic

    Also, I am about to change out my leafs because they are sagging and my tires are rubbing. If I were to get cal-tracs, would 4.5 or 5 leafs be benificial or not? Should I just go back with standard 4 leafs? I do not have any hp or torque numbers or track times, so I guess just going by my sig...

    How to drag race your classic

    With the 6 cylinder springs being softer, is the ride height similar to the 620s or are they closer to stock V8 springs. I have 620s and want the 6 cyl springs but dont want to lose my stance. Are there any compromises? Also, where can I get some cal-tracks and how much are they? Do they show up...

    I am wondering if any of you have a 351 in a 65 or 66 mustang and how you like it? What are your setups and times? How much could I expect to spend on the swap from a 289? Thanks

    Vin # question....

    There is no way to assure that it is a GT. One way to possibly tell is by a hole in the radiator support. The fog light wiring harness runs through a small hole in the radiator support. If the hole looks to be drilled, it is most lilkely not a GT because they were punched from the factory. It...

    Functional hood scoop, is this an ok setup?

    What i did was intsall an original air filter housing with no lid and I lifted it with spacers untill it was really close to the hood. Then i took some weather stripping and sealed it to the bottom of my hood to keep heat out. You will need to block off the inlet tube hole if you really want to...
