Thanks again guys. I called around, and it looks like the Mustang Shoppe here in SD has the best deal to make the conversion: $4500 out the door not including the rear end. Best price I saw by about $1000, and they specialize in Mustangs, so I know they'll do it right. Turns out my...

Much appreciated rbohm!

Hey all! I'm getting a progressively worse vibration coupled with a bit of morning sickness on my '67 vert. It currently has a C-4 trans. Now that I have to fix all this, I've decided I want to upgrade the entire drivetrain, beginning with an AOD trans, new drive shaft, and LSD. I may or may...

Hey all! I'm at the point where I want to disassemble my '67 vert and get all the body and paint done. Since this is a once-in-a-generation job that I want to last for decades, I want it done right. I don't need it to be a trailer queen, but I want a quality job without getting ripped off. So...

I was afraid of that. Would it be cheaper to just buy a new C4 from Summit for $1500 and swap it out?

The Dustless Blasting seems like the way to go.

Wow. I'm impressed. Thanks for the share. I'll definitely look into this method.

Hi all! '67 convertible with 289 I've had a chronic issue with either my transmission (C-4) or torque converter. Everything works just fine when cold or during light use. However, if I'm accelerating up a long hill when warm, I sometimes get a "FFFFT, FFFFT!" sound accompanied by a slipping...

Thanks HS!

Hello all! Had my front fender off my '67 vert for the first time recently and realized my torque boxes are shot, so now I want to totally disassemble the car and start from scratch. Was just quoted ~$11k (depending on necessary body work) for hand sand to finished 2-stage paint job if I bring...

Unfortunately, I'm not positive what the problem is. I have a sag, and I REALLY hope the rebuild will help. The video was a HUGE help! If the bushings are wasted and it caused oblong holes, the search will begin for some OG hinges, I guess.

Here's what I'm doing: http://www2.cougarpartscatalog.com/67hngkit.html The guy in the video reinforces what Horse Sense says. Better to rebuild them.

David, I've got a driver side door sag on my '67 vert and want to do the same thing. I had a pair of hinges I was going to buy off of summitracing.com, but after what horse sense said, I'm not going through with it. Can you let me know if you find an alternative? I'll do the same if I do.

Thanks tos! The car is in pretty good shape as far as rust goes. Two owners before me had the bottom all sprayed with that black tar-looking stuff. Cowl looks good too, just no idea about the metal fatigue though. It's been in SoCal for at least the last decade or so, but was originally sold...

Hey all! Wanted to get some input regarding my plan for my '67 vert. Right now it has the original 289 bored out to a 302 with a 2-barrel carb and C4. Obviously, I want to keep the engine, but I'm thinking about putting a crate motor in there that will push between 350-400 horses. I also...

You guys are a bit over my head, haha. I don't have the knowledge or time to rebuild my c4, so it looks like I'll be taking it to the shop to have them do that, with the understanding that I want it to be able to handle about 400hp in the future. Any advice on what I should let them charge me...

Thanks, Horse! That helps out a lot!

Hello Stangnet! I've noticed the C4 in my '67 vert is starting to take a while to engage when cold. I realize that this may mean a rebuild to replace all the worn junk inside. Not sure of the history of the tranny, but suspect it has never been rebuilt. Right now, I have the numbers-matching...

Nevermind. It was just the throttle adjustment. Good to go! :nice:

Hi all! Just put a new distributer in, and my '67 Vert runs super-smooth! However, when I take my foot off the gas, the idle drops so low that I stall most of the time - especially at stop signs. Is this more than likely just a simple idle adjustment on the carb? I'm hesitant to change...
