I have it up and going, runs pretty good, been driving it for a month now. I had to replace the whole ignition system, the DIS, cam position sensor, crank position sensor and coil pack. The car has a real bad oil leak out of the valve cover need to replace them. I figure I will change the plugs...

I have not been here or posted on the site for a while. So I sold one Cougar(73 XR7 Q code convertible) and bought a 89 XR7 with the factory 3.8 and a Eaton supercharger sitting on top of it. It needs some work, doesn't idle very well. Once the engine hits about 1000-1200 rpm the engine smooths...

Ok here is my answer to your question. I have done this swap, I put a roller cam 5.8 out of a 97 F250 in my 73 Mustang. My car previously had a 302 in it with a Lunati Voodo Cam with .520 lift, Edelbrock F4B intake, headers, 600cfm Holley, dual exhaust, Msd ignition with a C4 trans 2500 stall...

The seats will have a black metal tag attached to the springs with the vin number. I don't remember if it is on the bottom or behind the rear access panel on the front buckets. Also look inside of the trunk, up under the trunk lip where the seal fits. I have seen the vin number stamped here...

I don't know if anybody else has mentioned this, but to spray paint you need a good air compressor. A HVLP gun will eat cfm like their is no tomorrow. A conventional gun will take less cfm, but overspray will be worse. If you have a small air compressor look at a LVLP gun, I use a Star(Astro...

Sheared off camshaft locating pins do happen, not pretty if it happens, kind of strange nobody here has heard of this. Solid roller cam, lots of lift, stiff springs, lots of harmonics, one little pin and little bolt holding it together, a extra camshaft locating pin could be cheap insurance. I...

Solid roller cam, you might talk to your machinist about adding another cam gear retaining pin in the camshaft.

If nobody wants this I am sending it to the metal recyclers this weekend.

I have a Astro Pneumatic Star Evo T S4000 LVLP with a 1.4 tip. I think I spent about $100 on it four years ago, been a descent gun. It is no Sata or Iwata, but for the money it works pretty good for me.

If I decide to have the rare drink, I will have a vodka and Coke mixed with either Viking Fjord or Svedka Vodka. An shot of 12 year old GlenLivet, in my case aged to 18 years, or whatever kind of beer given to me,lol.

Delete post due to me being too critical about this car. I shouldn't be this way since I am not perfect myself.:D

On the pin side of the rod on your mechanical linkage don't use that plastic bushing. This is what I do and it works way better than that plastic bushing. I use a bronze door pin bushing instead, it lasts way longer and wears slower than the white plastic one.

One other note on this cowl, you have to be a memeber of this site to get this. I will not respond to people emailing me who are not members. Don't ask me how, but I have been getting emails from people who are not members.

I have a cowl, the upper and lower portion that came out of a air conditioned car. Now before you get all excited, it is not in top notch shape or perfect, close from it. I feel like I wasted my time and effort removing this thing, this is why it is a freebie. Now if you want to put some work...

I have seen factory 351W's in a few 71's. I almost bought a 71 coupe that had one way back in 1988. As for parts availability the Windsor wins hands down. I stuffed a 351W in my 73 is because I wanted a factory roller cam and 351c.i, plus 351W's are a dime a dozen. I bought a used 5.8 out of a...

How did you get that car loaded on your trailer without it buckling down the middle?

Fremont Salvage and Indian Springs closed down about 10 years ago, they both had tons of old cars. When they shut down everything went to the crusher. The only two junkyards around Canon City is Canon Truck and Penrose Auto Salvage. I have not been to Penrose Auto Salvage in years because I...

I don't know about a RPM, it might fit. I tried the Air Gap on my 73 and it was about 2-3" too high. I am using a flat hood too, so a ram air hood might give the clearance needed. With the regular Performer intake and a thin 2"tall air cleaner I have about 3/4" hood clearance on my 73 with a...

A adjustable pinion snubber will do the same thing as traction bars or staggered rear shocks. It just keeps the rearend from rolling upward under torque and wrapping up the springs.

A RPM Air Gap on a 351W won't fit under the stock hood on a 71-73 Mustang, been there tried that. It will fit if you want to cut a hole in the hood and put a scoop over it. The 351W I put in my Mustang to replace the 302 will barely fit a regular Edelbrock Performer under the hood.
