Very, very nice. Mike

You're so right. If I only would have kept 1/2 of the cars I've had. Oh well... as "ole car guys" we keep on keeping on..... It's interesting you mention 1977. I think that was the year I parked my 73 Q-code at my brother-in-laws house Lancaster, CA. High winds came and a tree blew down and...

I went out and got a bunch of washers and it took 6 washers which turned out to be 5/8" thick to get the wheels to clear the calipers. Everything else will clear (tires to wheel well) but not much thread left on the lug studs. I guess I could get longer studs somewhere, I'm afraid that's going...

Thanks Mike, I'll give that a try today. Mike

I just went out and checked. It's more like 3/8" so I would have to space 1/2" to give enough clearance. I think that would be too much, don't you? Mike

Ray, I'm not too surprised. I understand it also came with single exhaust yet it has a duel exhaust valance in the back. Mike

From the looks of the polls more guys like them than not. They were never a Ford option though. All are aftermarket. It looks like the louvers will save on fading of seat backs tops and any coverings on the shelf behind the seat. Back in 73 my new car was a Gold/Ginger Q code Mach 1, I didn't...

It came to me with 14" Magnum 500 wheels. I bought 15" Mag 500's but they won't clear my new Wilwood 6 piston calipers .:huh:

I like to think it's because they wanted to take their time on this one and really make it right

All suggestions are welcome. Mike

Great videos but I'm a Bud guy. I'll go grab a cold one now. Mike

Welcome... Mike from So. Cal.

I too have pulled my engine and trans. My bay will be all semi-gloss black and all brackets, pulleys and components will be done in gloss black. Since I pulled the numbers matching engine and FMX trans and replacing it with a 408 stroker, C6 trans (beefed) and a Detroit locker, so much for...

I did get 15" Mag 500's but there his a hump inside the rim that hit the caliper. If the rim portion didn't have that hump before getting to the inner part of the wheel all would be fine. So to answer your question that hump hits the outside surface of the caliper. I'll obviously have to get...

HELP!!!Huh I have a problem. I bought and installed a Wilwood 6 piston caliper disc brake system replacing the manual drums in the front. Wilwood part # 140-12945-DR. I knew from the statement on CJ Pony that I needed to go to 15" rims so I bought a set of 4 - 15" Magnum 500's and put a set of...

Yesterday I took one of the front drum brakes off and installed new Wilwood 6 piston disc setup. Today the other side gets the same.

Throw the budget out the window. Go bigger.... If it feels good, Stroke it! Mike

Yesterday I pulled the original 315 2V engine and FMX trans. Today I'll start cleaning up the engine bay and get it ready for the 409 stroker I'm having built at a local engine builder.

Yes we already have the heads and the engine is being assembled as we speak. The problem I saw with Hooker & Headman was the specifically say they will not clear a C6 trans. Patriot doesn't say and I just found out about FPA this morning. I have to wait until Monday to contact them. Yes we...

I have a 351C going into a 72 Mustang. It's being built as a 409 stroker with Edlebrock aluminum heads (2v design) and I can't seem to find headers that will fit with C6 trans. Can anyone help?
