Thank You for the Carb and intake offers. But for now I will wait to see if they will end up under the Christmas tree or not (let's see if my "mechanically inexperienced" family will get it right this time). My question is that does anybody know whether using an Edelbrock performer 351w #2181...

Hello everyone!!! I posted a thread a while back titled “Thirsty engine lousy carb” and I was experiencing some coughing problems with my carb. Well I am “delighted” to inform you that the problem has been “solved”. Here is how: Due to the sanctions, the import of additives for the higher octane...

1972 mustang coupe....

Thanx pegasus. Based on the info you found about the carb I tried searching more to get some detailed specs but couldn't find any so far. So I still can't figure out based upon the info, the carb is fit for the engine or not. With my limited knowledge I am assuming that the carb belongs to a...

Hi there gpierce, off the topic and regarding where I live, I do originally live and work in northern California. However in the last year I have had to stay in Shiraz to take care of some of my parents' affairs. The plan was to stay for a month but now it's more than a year that i have been...

Hello all!! I got the carb number. I searched the internet and not much is there about this type of Holley carb but here it is: 2690-H2-1 LIST-2134-1

First of all, sorry AGAIN for the long post but please bear with me. Thank you everyone for their valuable input. Regarding the carb, it was brand new and never used when installed and we did up the jets and it did not solve the problem. Distributor has vacuum advance which is connected to a...

Hello everyone. I have a 1972 coupe with a 351W engine in it. It originally had the straight six w/ a manual transmission but upon purchase, the previous owner ( a very good friend of mine) also gave me a 351W and a C4 tranny (both in very good condition) for free!!! So I swapped the straight...

Thank you all for your super useful inputs. I will be shopping for a 351W front sump oil pan. My question is: In order for the oil pan to fit without needing any modifications, cutting,etc... should i go with an OEM type or the fancier Aluminum or T-shaped ones made for 351W engine will work too??

Hi. I may be wrong but based on my measurements the bottom of the engine will hit the cross bar even WITHOUT an oil pan attached to it....

Hi. I took some pictures but don't know hoe to upload them all. Hi. It's me again. D70E-9425-BD is on the head. I just know that this engine was included with the Mustang. The mounts were purchased new for this engine by the prev owner.

Thanx. I too believe the mounts are the problem. Can someone tell me exactly which mount/bracket and from where I could get a correct pair?!?!?

Hi everyone. I was planning to swap the engine in my 1972 coupe (it has a 250) with a 351. From what i could gather it is a 1970 351 Windsor. When we dropped the engine in the car it would not fit. Btw the car came with this engine as a free bee. So we are stuck. First we thought changing the...

Hi. My name is Sam from Northern California (Bay Area). I joined a while back but did not notice the introductions forum and did a small hit and run thread and took off. So accept my apologies for my late introduction. It will be an honor for me to learn from members here. My access to internet...

Hello all. Showed up here a few times and really liked it (lots of awesome and knowledgeable folks) so I registered!! I got a hold of this 1972 ford mustang a few weeks ago. It's a 1972 coupe with a 250 inline 6 (3 gear manual). The previous owner put on a jeep Carb on this car since the...
