I haven't put any miles on new springs yet, so maybe one of the other guys that has chopped and replaced can chime in and tell us both how long it usually takes to settle out.

I like that height, guess you should take it for a run and see how it handles.

I am finding the same issue. I bought the Eaton sport springs for a 302 engine without A/C as they recommended for my convertible and it is sitting pretty high. I dropped a lot of weight off the front end and may have to go with a different spring or coil overs. Suck to waste money like that...

Is it a 4 bolt main? You can take the 4 bolt caps and use them on your 2V block. Just get your machinist to drill out and tap the other 2 bolt holes.

Very cool! I hope she keeps helping you out with it. If that engine has never been rebuilt you might be able to get away with simply boring. Hope it all works out for you at the machine shop.

Oh you have a coupe, mine is a convertible. They have lower pads so my motor sits lower than yours. If I raised my mounts an inch I would still be hitting the steering box.

Thanks for all the detail. I am pretty sure if mine was not a convertible it would fit ok but with the lower motor mount bases I have to find another way. To boot, the headers came with a grinder mark across three of the tubes on the plate that needed to be smoothed out. In hindsight, if the...

That’s a good idea, way better than spacers.

73 H code Vert 351C converted to Sequential EFI with aftermarket NACA Ram air. 4R70W tranny.

Did you use 4V pattern or 2V? Mine are the 2V pattern.

The manufacturer suggests getting them as close to the head as possible for best readings. I have mine in the collector as close to the individual tubes as practicable.

Actually Don, they help out immensely if you have EFI. Keeping the exhaust gases hot really helps the sensors give good accurate readings on your air to fuel ratio. That was the whole point for me, I am converting this one to sequential EFI, so I need good readings. The heat that the coated...

The V6 Mustang has an Essex Bellhouse pattern just like our older SBF’s. Not too many donor trannys left for this swap, get one now if you can find one. Look up Essex Bellhouse pattern on Wikipedia and it will show you which vehicles used it and when. The best one to get is 2003/4 Mustang V6. As...

Joe Persad (InjectedMach) is your man. Bought mine from him and it fits perfect. He posted in this thread already, about six comments above this one.

Got about 1/8” by moving the motor mount pads within the clamshell. The old and new clamshells are exactly the same size. The new ones are not as strong as the old ones so I stuck with the old ones. With the motor shifted towards the passenger side I am going to try and lift the drivers side a...

Thanks Don, denting headers just seems like giving up to me. I don’t imagine I will need every cubic inch in my headers but in my mind denting would lead to rusting.

Yeah I tried that already, they don't move at all. There really isn't enough metal around the holes to drill them out and slide them either. I am pretty sure I am going to be stuck trying to heat up the headers and move them slightly. Kinda sucks because I am converting this build to EFI and the...

Wow, that sounds very useful.

Yeah I have rebuilt engine mounts that I think may provide me some relief when it comes to moving the engine over a bit. The '73 Verts don't have motor mounts on the market anymore so if you need new ones you have to tear your old ones apart and install a new top in the clamshell. The new tops...
