Thanks for the great info. It appears to be a float/needle problem that I'm trying to work out. Float was adjusted to data provided. I'm going to change out the filter (again), and clean out the needle valve and float bowl. Again, thanks for the info.

I have a 1968 mustang, 289, auto, 2bbl autolite 2100 carb. Gaskets failed on the carb dumping fuel everywhere. I bought a rebuild kit since the autoparts dealers all said 3-4 days at the soonest to get a rebuilt carb. Spent about five hours being meticulous or so I thought. Did all the minor...

I was considering doing the same conversion, and was on the fence about the price before the price hike. I know reenmachine offers a full conversion kit with the IRS, maybe he'll offer up the the hardware seperately. Worth giving him a call.:bs:

So here goes- I purchased an engine from a ford distributor. The distributor deals with ford , chevy and mopar. Anyway a few years back they purchased a dozen or so engines from ford that had been removed from vehicles damaged on dealer lots. All the engines were very low mileage(most less...

Just as the post says I need the curb weight for a 1968 Coupe with a 302 and automatic trans. Thanks for the input.

67GTA- First I would recommend doing a search here there use to be some good posts on the topic. They can be used in your car, however, you will need a little ingenuity. The 01-04 seat tracks were designed for an uneven or curved floor. When mounting them you'll need to build-up one end of...

My experience is that most people here have had good things to say about them. Personally, I have only made one purchase from them for some canton racing items. I made the purchase online never heard anything and about 8-10 days later received the stuff. Other than some better communication I...

I just went through the same issue building my engine. While there were a few places I did use ARP for piece of mind I found a guy who was more than helpful and says all his bolts are made in the USA. Keep in mind that he mostly does engine bolts in polished stainless, although he does some...

Thanks for the info on the thermactor plugs. They weren't mentioned in the articles I read.

Looking for some basic info on swapping a roller motor(1996) into my '68. Thought someone who has gone carbed might have some info. The question concerns the timing cover, timing chain and fuel pump eccentric. I realize I need to go to a timing cover that allows for a mechanical fuel pump. I'm...

50oz balancer and flexplate came with it, however, the balancer is specifically for an explorer with a spacer integrated into the balancer. That'll go in place of a new one and the pulleys to go serpentine.

It was an easy choice- Brand new Ford 302(NOS) for $1600 delivered. At that point I'd be hard pressed to get the machine work and rebuilding done to my very tired 289. Engine has GT-40 heads which flow better than the originals. My only additional costs are an oil pan/pick-up, timing cover...

Looking for some basic info on swapping a roller motor(1996) into my '68. The question concerns the timing cover, timing chain and fuel pump eccentric. I realize I need to go to a timing cover that allows for a fuel pump. I'm looking for a true roller timing chain. Some say they work with a...

Carnivore, take a look at the Jegs website http://www.jegs.com/ if you're interested in that engine. They did have a special on it $3100 plus shipping. I bought a leftover explorer motor to modify recently for a very resonable price. In the end it would have been cheaper and less time...

06cobra, don't mean to hijack your thread I'm also looking for a source for roller spring perches. Only place I found is Cobra Automotive and they're $250 a set. Even with my Global West Setup it seems pricey. BTW Opentracker, your idea for more roller buushings sounds very interesting...

Alright, I bought an almost new Explorer motor to start as a base to build a mild performance engine. The engine is being dropped into a 1968 mustang. This is the biggest project I've taken on for the car and needed some advice. First, I bought a set of Aluminum GT-40 heads to swap on the...

Check out these guys, they have a good rep, although theyy are a little pricey: http://www.dreviltransmissions.com/about.html . Boyd Coddington uses their transmissions in some of his cars if that means anything.

67stang7, The stuff you're refering to may also be called Peel 'n' Seal. Those products are asphalt based building materials usually with a foil facing and a constuction grade adhesive. Up until a few years ago the products for cars were not much better than using these products. In fact...

First, thanks for the input. I'll look into going to 1.7 ratio rockers. The heads are true GT-40 heads, not the 40p. The guy had both in stock, I opted for the GT-40s since I've heard there are problems fitting the 'P' heads with headers in a 1968. If I decide to part with any of the stuff...
