Get around the later model 5.0 mustang guys - I've picked up "wore out" stock 302's for free to $100 and gotten good running engines for $3-500 tops - and those runners were the "HO" engines and not just the lower output 5.0 from a crown vic... For the price of the lifters you should be able to...

I wouldn't change the engine to gain gas mileage - on a recent 1800 mile trip my '68 with a 200 I6 engine, C4 trans and an unknown rear ratio (probably in the 2.50-2.80 range just guessing) got a low of 21mpg and an average of 23-24.x mpg calculating fill-up to fill up. Working properly and...

GT40 heads don't flow enough for a 331/347 stroker - given that's your goal - I'd concentrate on swapping the trans out, rear end work, and exhaust - all of it will be re-used with a stroker... Next year buy some aluminum heads with the $1500, put them on the 289 (match them for the flow of the...

Well thinking about it - if I was going to stick with the 289 here's what I'd do with $1500 to get the best bang for the buck Gt40 (not P) heads - $300 +- depending on condition - find some that don't need a valve job Gasket set - $60 flat tappet camshaft and lifter set (from ~$100-300) Flowtech...

hopefully the carb came off AFTER the paint/bodywork was done - otherwise you're going to have all that body filler dust and sanding grit down in the intake - if the carb was off - I'd take a real good look down the intake and if there is dust down there then I'd at the minimum pull the intake...

Here's the one I looked at ($320+~13 ship): http://www.ebay.com/itm/370603385708 Seeming more and more like a decent deal considering how hard the dang things are to track down... I've done R&P setups before on a lot of 9" in the circle track cars that I've raced so the 8" should be a piece of...

Looking at the "automotive recyclers" (AKA Junk yards) I have run across a lot of open 8" carriers but have yet to find a used limited slip carrier on anything. Does anyone know what models might have came with the limited slip rear in them or another source to find used limited slips for the...
