    Long Live the V8 Mustang!

    I'd be all for a two door, V8 Mustang wagon. I'd even support the sedan if it keeps powerful V8s in production. Chuck

    351c Build Ideas And Advice

    Before you buy anything, find a VERY competent race engine machine shop that also has experience building 351Cs. Use the wrong machinist and parts selection won't matter much. The parts you select need to be "matched" to the rest of the drivetrain, as well as how the car will be used. A big cam...

    Parts Wanted WTB C-6 kick down lever, 1972 Mustang

    Mike, I was looking for the lever that bolts to the end of the selector shaft. I appreciate the response. I ordered one from the same guy who made a custom kick down rod to accommodate the taller intake and carb spacer. Chuck

    Parts Wanted WTB C-6 kick down lever, 1972 Mustang

    I went to install my new custom kick down rod only to discover that the lever was not there. I searched my garage for 2 hours trying to find it, no joy. So if someone has an extra they would sell, please let me know. I know NPD has them new however, reproduction parts have bitten me more than...

    Fuel Vent - What to do?

    If the large rubber/plastic fill tube seal is installed backwards it will leak fuel. Chuck

    Valves for CC stock Cleveland

    If the stems are larger in diameter the guides will need to be honed or replaced with bronze guides, replaced if diameter is smaller. If the valve is longer, rocker arm geometry will be off, assuming it was correct before, and push rod length will need to be changed to restore proper geometry...

    Yella Terra rocker arm failure

    I bought a shaft mount set for my 330 CID SBF, 21 years ago, because they had a good reputation and were cheaper than T&D, THEN. Chuck

    Yella Terra rocker arm failure

    Water pump issue

    It sounds like a shaft seal failure. However, it's self healing ability is beyond my understanding. WAG is stuck, then un-stuck thermostat. Chuck

    Austrailian heads project

    I'd keep an eye on the bronze gear. The one time I used one, it was done at 1000 miles. I hope you have better luck. A very nice build! Chuck

    Ignition Issues

    Ford distributors have several teeth on them, not tang and groove (180 out) like some GMs. So you can be 1 to several teeth off and it will still go in. The no marks on the damper is very strange. I've never seen that on this vintage Ford V8. I hope you get it sorted out. Chuck
