I find this kind of amusing, the one 9" that is not a nodular casting is out of a 70 M code Mustang and the nodular one is out of a H code Cougar.

I decided to pull the 9" rearend out of my 73 Cougar parts car today and found something interesting. When I got it out and loaded up in the back of my truck I noticed a nice big cast N in the middle of the casting. I have had this car for over three years now and never looked under it other...

Motorcycle oil still has high zinc levels in it, it is also a higher shear oil. Diesel oils have had the zinc removed from them and are not a high shear oil.

Pictures of the Fairlane.

The yellow car is the 73 Grande that was an 302 c4 powered that I picked up two days ago. The white and black car is the 72 Q code c6 Grande I bought back in May.

Yes I know, pictures validate this thread, I will get some up this weekend, this time for sure. The 72 is mostly there, I have not done a thing with it, still sitting on my flatbed boomed down. The 73 is worth restoring (almost zero rust on it)but the title is kind of messed up. It is a open...

I am picking up another parts car friday, its a 73 Grande that I am getting for $450. It is pretty much all there, 302 c4 auto car, missing a few parts like the underhood AC stuff. When my life slows down a bit I will go through it and see what I can use and what I am going to sell. Yeah I said...

I did use teflon tape on the fitting, I will take it off and recheck the gauge.

The Sunpro temp gauge has no ground, it just had the sending unit attached to the the coiled wire that as attached to the gauge. I doubt it is a cracked head, 351W are not known for cracking heads and my car is not loosing any coolant. I will check the plugs to be sure, but I doubt I have a...

I had no boiling over, gurgling in the engine, run on or anything else, it started up and ran fine after shutting it down and restarting it with the temp gauge pegging 235.

I bought one of those digital infared thermometers and I took some readings while the temp gauge was around 235 degrees. At the thermostat housing 198, the heads 205, in the middle of the the upper radiator hose 165. The reading at the inlet of the radiator was 145, the lower radiator hose 115...

I have not confirmed the acuracy of the gauges, they are aftermarket Sunpros that I installed a few months ago. I have not checked the radiator cap either, but it is only a couple years old. Before I put the engine in I flushed the water jacket outs in the block. I also replaced the core plugs...

As I am sitting in traffic or at a drive through my temp has been climbing up to 230 degrees. As soon as I get back onto the road it goes back down to 195-200 degree's. The engine is a 97 5.8 out of a f250. The fan has seven blades and the shroud is off a air conditioned 73 Cougar that had a...

73 F code Coupe 72 Q code Grande

I will get some pictures up, just been so busy between moving and work, barely had time to get the car.

I picked the car up yesterday, and have not yet decided what I am going to do with it. I talked to the other brother who co owned this car and he told me that he tried starting it, but it would not fire up, it had spark but no compression. I don't know if it is worth my time messing around with...

I see your are in Colorado, you need to take elevation into consideration when picking a carb for a engine. The higher up you are, the thinner the air. I have a Holley 600cfm on my 351W in my 73 and it is more than enough here which is around 5200 ft elevation. I also had a 78 F250 that had an...
