I've got a local kid that has a straight axle from an F1 its already set up for disc brakes. I'm not very familiar with disc brakes though. What I see is what I get and he doesn't know what type of setup it is. Can you recognize what that is? Should I go ahead and pick this one up too? He wants...

I forgot about the explorer swap, my buddy did that to his Ranchero he made into a gasser. I'll definitely look into that. Believe they had limited slip as well! Did the BB Mustangs have bigger drums? Because I was told the 6 cylinder drivetrain was the same as the SBF V8s besides the front...

It's a base model fastback that came with a 6 cylinder 250 and 3 speed manual trans. 8.8 rearend with small drums. I have a 69 f100 out in the pasture, I was thinking about yanking the 9" out of it, but I havent done much research on if that's gonna be more of a headache than it's worth...

I'm starting on my project again, it's a 73 mustang fastback. I have a 351w in it now but I found a 429 so I'm yanking the 351w back out. I'm gonna get weird with this one, since I already redid a 1972 coupe so I'm gonna have more fun with it. I used to build custom trailers and people would...

Well I have a tunnel ram for a 302. I'd sell it for a 351w tunnel ram, but that's pretty rare. I do agree with you though!

This is probably a long shot, but does anyone have the spacer kit to bolt on a 302 intake manifold onto a 351w? I was wanting the measurements so I could mill them myself. Any info on how they are made would help to. Could I take measurements off the intake and mills them out the same with the...

Has anyone ever fabbed scoops on the sides of a sportsroof? Or rear quater panel scoop?

Good deal, thanks guys! I dragged my wrecked 72 to the local body shop who does a really good job, but he's kindve a d*ck. I had a new quarter panel for it and he took one look at  it and said its f***ked, I'm not even gonna touch it. Kinda made me feel stupid, so I didn't wanna drag another one...

I have a 1973 Mustang fastback. Car has hardly any rust and in really good shape besides the second owner pushed it on the trailer with a skid steer when he was about to haul it away for scrap before I saved it. Anyways, I'm wanting to drive it as it is, I like the rusted paint job, and I can...

I have a 80s 351W I'm swapping into 73. It still has the electronic distributor in it. I was wondering since I have 4 302 distributors laying around, if I could swap in the points system out of a 302 into the electronic distributor that's in the 351w so I dont have to buy a whole new...

I have a 1973 mustang with a 3 speed manual. The motor apparently is locked up and I was going drag it onto a trailer to weld in floor pans. Well I yanked on it with my 48 F1 to drag it up on the trailer but forgot it was in gear... well now it wont ingage first or reverse and second and third...

Here's the car if anyone was wondering. I dont get much interest from people when I try to show off my car. besides on this website lol

 I thought all 351W were balanced at 28oz? It's going on a 3 speed manual trans that originally was powered by a 250 6 cylinder. Since the 250 6 cylinder had the same bolt pattern as a 302, and 302 shares the same pattern as 351, I figured it will be a bolt in swap besides a new flywheel. Can...

I will for now! I was worried because someone told me an 86 351w with stock heads make less hp than a 302 so I was disappointed on my purchase

Okay good, I was thinking I had to pull the heads. The date code I pictured under the valve cover decoded as 1966 feburary 13? What's that date for if the head are 1976? I'm confused
