    AOD installed!

    Wow, It's been a long time since I've been here and too my surprise someone dragged this thread out of the depths. :-) I used Heddman hedders. Are you installing behind a 302 or 351w? My install was behind a Windsor so I already had some extra width which helped. But the extra height hurt. I...

    Long time, no see. So who's still around?

    I still show up every now and again. I'm still changing my Cobra II with little tweaks here and there. I bought a CBII go-kart from Brian (Project 77) a few years ago that I am working on for the little girl. I built a new chassis for the body. Just need to get rid of the old chassis as it take...

    75 Start Problem...

    Ok start simple, need 3 basic things for an engine to run. Air, Fuel, Spark. Air is fairly easy. If there is gas in the carburator and you can look inside the carb and see it squirt gas when the throttle is worked you have 2 of the 3. You say it has no spark. Where doesn't it have spark? at the...

    Long time, no see. So who's still around?

    Sorry to hear about your rough spell. Glad to hear things are looking better for you. It's been pretty slow around here. Most have moved over to the Mustangii.net site and that site is very active presently. Some parts are easier to find but other stuff is getting worse. That's the problem with...

    RAG JOINT

    This part doesn't list our years on it specifically but I believe it should work. http://www.mustangsunlimited.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=31000+01 I think you have to cut the rivets off to pout it in bu it's not difficult. Tim

    351w swap

    The motor mounts are a non-issue. The 302 mount bolts right to the 351 and they fit right in. People may have tried to use different mounts to try and "Center" the engine under the hood better. it's offset to the Pass. side a little over an inch. That is to allow room for the steering assy. You...

    351w swap

    First thing. A 351w swap is a PITA. (Pain In The A$$). The windsor is wider and taller, making things fit sucks. It can be done and it you have the tools, knowledge and some fabrication skills by all means have at it. Things to be aware of: Oil Pan. the II has a special pan to clear the rack for...

    Vacuum Canister

    How many vacuum line do you have going into the passenger side wheel well 1 or 2? The 75 I think would have a canister with 2 connections. Check the v6 rangers from the 80's+ if you find one with 1 hose connection follow the line up to the valve that has one line going to the can, one to the...

    headers for a mustang ll with a 351w

    The Heddman 302 headers can be made to fit a 351. I did it. Bought a bunch of misc. bends and reworked them a little. I even reworked them a second time to fit an AOD in the tunnel with a 351w. It is possible. The Swap Set hooker sell requires the moving of the battery adn cutting out the Batt...

    c4 woes

    Yeah the c4 is a simple trans to do. And fairly easy to make hold more power. Extra clutches and a good servo a C4 will live a happy life behind a stout small block. Good job on the rebuild. Tim

    New hood cowl and new engine heating up

    Good to hear you found the source of your noise. Sucks about what is was though. We had a similar issue with my buddy's Monte SS. But it was just the corners of the outer 2 rockers on each side just touching the in the insides of the cast valve covers. A quick clearance with a die grinder and we...

    5.0 into 1978 Mustang Help

    302 portion is easy. Replace the pan do something to the timing cover so you can move the dipstick to the front. Ok first off, exhaust is going to be a problem. Headers are a lot of work getting to fit with the AOD in the II. I made a set fit with the 351 and an AOD but it is extremely...

    Having a problem

    The most common thing is that you might not have got the convertor seated all the way before you put them together. The convetor should always be loose in the flexplate holes until you put the nuts on the the studs. Other things that it might be not having any more info to go on. Bad/wrong...

    New hood cowl and new engine heating up

    As Coyote, the correct Explorer master cyl. will do 4 wheel disks, the Bronco II is a drop in replacement for the factory unit (drum/disk). That cover and WP look to be ok. It's not out of the question that you have a bad thermostat, or possibly installed backwards. I've also heard of people...

    New hood cowl and new engine heating up

    Looks great. Are you 100% sure the head gaskets are in correct? Do you have the correct water pump (rotation) and the correct Timing cover for that pump? If you want to clean up the look of the engine Compartment a little more even. A master cyl, from a 90 Bronco II with an adapter for...

    Hello All!

    Looks awesome! Just a word of advice. make sure you use the correct intake gaskets with those heads. Those are 69-74 Windsor heads and have a different water port in the corners that "MIGHT" have issues if you don't use the gaskets for that year head. Not all gaskets will have problems but it's...

    Hello All!

    Hey your car is looking great. Excellant work without a doubt! Hi, I was reading and looking at your pictures and saw your Valley pan gasket questions. I think you might want to pull this intake and toss it and find a 302 intake. I believe what you have is an intake from a 255, Ford's early...
