    Is there difference for front drum spindles on V8 cars and 6 cylinder?

    I have discs now but I am switching to drums so I can add a large brake package. Is it still the same bearings?

    Is there difference for front drum spindles on V8 cars and 6 cylinder?

    I want to convert to drum spindles to hold a bigger brake conversion kit and found some spindles but I am not sure if there is a difference between the V8 drum spindles and the drum spindles from a 6 cylinder. Anyone know if they are the same part number?

    Headers

    You need to compare apples to apples. Eliminator is just blowing exhaust to atmosphere, there is no back pressure to send a resonance wave back to the exhaust valve. In normal closed systems the long tube headers allow for a longer distance before sending a pulse back to the exhaust valve which...

    Frustration with Front end!

    For anyone that reads this thread and wants to replace the strut rod bushings, just be forewarned that Ford had pressed an inner sleeve into the main sleeve and flared the ends to prevent the bushings from falling out on the assembly line. You can just drill out a small bit on one side to...

    Half the weight loss is the '73 bumper brackets. those things weight a ton.

    Going to try it out without changing any of the holes in either the frame or the mount. I don't have the front mounting bracket yet (delayed in shipping) so I am not sure how the bumper is going to sit. I may have to come back to this post and edit it if I have to lengthen any of the mounting...

    What book are these drawings from? I could definitely use a copy of it.

    Awesome, thanks. I can't tell from the pictures where your holes are in the frame. Were there 4 like mine above with the Red and Yellow arrows?

    What did you do to your car today?

    No that’s correct. Anything over 7000 rpm should have HV but even more importantly Tmeyer restricts cam flow with a reducer plug. At least that’s what I read in his preferred oil modification in the Cleveland book. I just looked the publication date and it is 2013, so maybe some new info.

    What did you do today instead of working on your Mustang?

    You need to let that blue beauty out for a run.

    What did you do to your car today?

    Thanks for the feedback, I can check out the wear if I decide to pull the heads off for port matching. Reading through the 351 Cleveland rebuild manual, the author George Reid, who consulted with several Cleveland experts including Trent Goodwin from Comp Cams and Tim Meyer of Tmeyer Corp...

    Pros and cons to everything we look at. My '73 bumper was already toast from some scratches that were never repaired, so I was half way there anyway. I am hoping the total of all of the weight I have pulled off will pay dividends in handling. We'll see when I get it on the road.
