    The dreaded thermostat and cooling issue post

    They advertised the Windsor stat that I used as Cleveland specific.....arrrrgh. Would that likely have been the cause of the problem? Spilling out of the connection there? Ok so if i pop this one in that should correct the issue I hope. I believe, although I don't remember, that the restrictor...

    Winter storage

    Hey Stangers, I am putting the Mustang away for the winter, kind of a must do in my part of the country. I have heard royal purple Maxlife is a good product for this to maintain the vehicle over the storage time. However starting and running the car is an option. Since this is the case should I...

    351 C 2v upgrade quick & dirty

    This sounds doable, and I appreciate the parts list. I am trying to do less with more budget wise thus the reluctance to change the heads and cam. From what I can determine its the standard set up on a base coupe, I simply want to beef it up a little bit, no racing, no drag strip stuff, just a...

    Mustang transformation

    The original old rusty panel had been bondo'ed which was ok but since we wanted to go after as much rust as we could we got replacement panels. If you go that way you have to get the replacement panel, lots of options there. I got a repro and then it was slowly and carefully attached into the...

    Suspension is the next step

    And that subframe connector advice applies to the hardtop as well I would guess.

    Newbie style question

    Well, I found one and my old Haynes manual lists it as a stock component for the 429, Just thinking it could be a fun modification and I was curious if a guy could juice up the 351 C with one? If you had a manifold that would accept it and then fit the thing. Maybe I should just get 4300...

    Newbie style question

    Ok, so I wonder if I can put a rebuilt Rochester quadrajet onto my 351 c, what would a guy need to do to make that happen? New intake manifold and what else? Is this a bad idea?

    I thought I had the original 8-track radio until today

    So what kind of player is this? I gather from the previous comment about the lack of AM/FM option on a stock 72 Mustang that this is from something else. Whadda ya'know whadda you say?
