Ok - I'm asking. What caused the pain ?

Borgeson steering with Shelby Pitman arm ? My '66 Mustang GT has factory manual steering. With that factory manual steering box I've installed the Shelby pitman arm and a matching rollerised idler arm. I intend to replace the manual steering box with the Borgeson conversion. Is there any...

Yes, that's my understanding....

Thanks for the information, I didn't know that. I have submitted a question via the Vendor Sponsor Forum

My '66 GT has factory manual steering. With that factory manual steering box I've installed the Shelby pitman arm and a matching rollerised idler arm. I intend to replace the manual steering box with the Borgeson conversion. Is there any reason why I can't use the Shelby pitman arm and...

I've got the GW lower control arms you're referring to. No grease fitting, and yes, they are tight - I thought the same when I installed them. I've had mine on for 5 years, they work really well with no problems, go ahead and install them would be my advice....

My '66 Fastback has a Roush 342 stroker with the Dynaflow TB injection setup. It makes 408 rwhp and 470 ft lb torque. Has a T5 and LSD 8". 600 lb front springs and Cobra Automotive rear - koni's, leaf springs, Global West shackel bushes and rose jointed under rider bars. When the torque...

I've long thought the Australian Ford Falcon XR6 turbo engine would be wicked in an early mustang. Google Image Result for http://www.atholparkfordwreckers.com/images/uploads/BAXR6TURBOENGINE.jpg These alloy engines are pushing Falcons into the sub 10 sec bracket on Australian dragstrips...

Thanks for your reply. My multimeter gives me a maximum of 9.6 volts off any power feed coming off the back of the ignition switch when cranking the engine over. I'm not talking about only the pink resistor wire here, I'm talking about all the power wires off the ignition switch. Is this usual ?

I'm undertaking the Dynatek CFI 'Weber look' EFI conversion on my '66. I need a 12v ignition switched power feed that provides 12v while cranking the engine over, to feed the ECU . Any suggestions ?

Thanks for your reply. I saw on forums a while ago you were looking to adjust your gear lever throw on your T56. Did you see this ?Billet Shifter Relocation Kit

I have the chance to buy a new GM T56 at a great price. I'm thinking about putting it behind my 342 stroker. My car currently has a Modern Driveline complete T5 setup, including cable clutch. I know GM T56's have a 26 spline input shaft which is a different length to the Ford input shaft...

Good to know -thanks. BTW our cars appear reasonably similar. How do you like the TCP rack swap - is it worthwhile in terms of handling gains in your opinion ?

Unique Performance used 17" rims on the 1966 model SR350's they made. I think they are Foose Nitrous II rims, but in a non shiny finish - sort of a graphite sandblasted finish instead of the shiny chrome look that Nitrous II's have. Does anybody know if those rims are available in the same...

342 cid, 302 based stroker. AFR 185 heads with a comp cams XE274 HR hydraulic roller cam. Looking for advice on whats the best 1.6 ratio roller rockers to buy for this setup please. The engine came with Crane roller rockers, but I'm looking to buy higher spec roller rockers if they are...

Thanks for the reply D.Hearne. Will check the forward oil gallery cup plug. mrmustangman 357 - idle oil pressure is 55psi

We're still no further ahead at the moment. The oil pump pickup repair has not made any difference, the tappets are as bad as ever, and the engine is still way down on power. Logic says it is an hydraulic problem, but the oil pump (which has only done 5000 miles) has been inspected and sems...

You might call gudgeon pins wrist pins in the U.S I think. They are the bush that connects the connecting rod to the piston. Here in NZ they are known as gudgeon pins. We took the oil pump off this morning. The sump and oil pickup are a Canton 15-630 supplied new with the Roush engine. We...

Well, we fired the egine up again yesterday after instaling a set of new hydraulic lifters. It is now worse than before in terms of noise, and has lost substantial power - presumably due to the valves not opening fully. To recap - the cam has been chcked and the lobes are ok. Valve springs...

Thanks. My rockers are really noisy - the engine clatters away like a diesel in the rocker area ! i presume the late model valve covers have the sound deadening material in them ?
