chepsk8 - are you saying that the date codes on the block are not that important? I think the '67 tbird on ebay is not a bad deal, it would give me a good starting point on the engine and trans, even though they are a bit "early" date code wise for a 69 car. I believe the mustangs had...

I would highly recomend putting in the new teflon white seals instead of the old black rubber umbrellas. On the clevo's I've done, the seals all came in a bag with the gasket set and were all the same. Depending on the direction of your build, now is the time to put in screw in studs for...

THAT LOOKS SWEEEEEEET! I've always wanted to do sequential on a 69/70 mustang.

Hey folks LOOOOONG time! so many projects, so many forums, so little time and money! Well, I guess the mustang I have now is the best deal, cause I just finally ran the decoder to find out it's a 428 car!:jaw: I paid $7500 for two cars and a pile of parts from a guy in Frakes, KY. I...

definitely call the MFR of the coating you already have on the bench, I've had too many problems mixing types / brands of paint, it's not worth the hassle, call up the mfr, I've had to do this a few times and was pleasantly surprised at how helpful the folks were.

Very good! Persistance paid off! It's always great when you can give something back to your parents like that.

Why not just buy a stock replacement if that's all you need?

Nope! I have a scat 3.85 crank, I went with DSS pro lite pistons and H beam rods for this combination, but, even with a stock 351w rod and stock replacement 302 piston, you don't have to worry about grinding the block.... at least I didn't.

I know we're a ways off yet, but I wanted to invite anyone who's interested out to the FME club nights at Milan dragway. We're out there the 3rd Thursday of the month May through September. Unless prices change, it's $35 for members, $50 to join and run, or $45 for non members, all are...

I'd second Livernois if you want to go first class. Also, Fowler engines out of columbus is very good as well.

Tenneco makes dynomax as I recall, and allot if not all of OEM mustang exhaust is from that company. I'm another one that's not a fan of flow masters or any chambered exhaust, too loud and the drone literally gives me a splitting headache after just a few minutes around 2000rpm. Another...

I had BFG's on a '90 5.0 with a TFS top end and 3.55 gears behind a T5, I could NOT get consistant traction with them, I won't buy them again!

Well, If I do a retro / copy of a classic pro stocker..... it's not going to be street legal which makes for limited driving. Somebody shoot me! I guess for now, I'll put it on the strip as that requires the least amount of work, and then over time, I can work on making it more streetable....

I just happen to still work at Ford.... I don't think the building is called NAAO anymore, hopefully it's not the building at the corner of Rotunda and Southfield, cause it's been torn down!

Don't forget that miles per gallon is directly proportional to the weight of your right foot!!! I can have a 1mpg swing on a fuel economy / emissions test with the same car on the same test cell by changing drivers!

how do you get full size pictures attached to a post? mine are either too big to upload, or so small their a waste of time???

Here's the car as it sits now.... at least one shot to give you an idea of where I'm starting from....
