    4 Wheel Disc Brakes - Power or Manual?

    +1 vote for mustang steve here. i loathe my cable clutch but the power brakes have been the cats pajamas since the day i installed. i only wish i had converted sooner! 4 wheel ssbc kit all around for me was useless until i upgraded with the mustang steve kit. shipping and communication was top...

    Intake ideas and clearance questions...

    no sense in re-inventing the wheel here. what you are looking for already exists. has for a long time actually. Blowzilla Supercharger / Flowzilla Manifold these bolt to a "stock type" lower intake manifold of a 5.0. already mpfi and 5.8 use the same upper manifold bolt pattern. they are...

    convert 2 peice rear main to 1 piece?

    not necessarily. a 2 piece style block CAN be machined for a 1 piece seal. but the cost far out weighs the benefit. it really just doesn't make sense to switch. just run what you have. they both seal just fine. a 2 piece just requires a little more care during set up.

    SBF intake manifold choices on a 5.0 354 HP Crate

    Edelbrock.com - Manifolds - Ford - RPM Air-Gap - 289/302/351W i say stay away from the victor jr. i think it will give up too much low end. those things really don't show any benefit in the rpm range you are using. if you were spinning it to 8000 maybe but the air gap will show more power under...

    SBF intake manifold choices on a 5.0 354 HP Crate

    how about an rpm air gap? keep your low end for the drive off of the corners and they seem to have a comparable top end to the victor jr's up to 6500. best of both worlds. sweet ride by the way.

    mustang II spindles

    considering the wilwood steering arms are bolt on i don't see it being a problem to whip a solution up. are there ball joints that fit stock upper and lowers with the proper taper for the mustang II spindles?

    '66 cowl restoration

    well, got the top tank off. i have to say, i was expecting the worst based on how badly the cowl leaked. i was pleasantly surprised at how much good sheet metal was still there. surprisingly, the worst of the rust wasn't around the cowl hats at all but rather right below the a...
