I love the ingenuity of getting it up on blocks!

Are you going to bring the intake to life with RAM Air?

WOW! Nice work. Love seeing the fresh metal going into the floor. Mine was just good enough to keep and work on. It pains me to look at the cost of shipping lately. I imagine you would just order the new cowl if it didn't cost as much to ship as buy new. I live in Canada and pretty much...

This is an old thread but I just want to clarify what you were doing. I have a 73 Convertible that I can't find motor mounts for. Are you telling me I can fab one up for my car from 2 other mounts? I have my original motor mounts, do you know which mount I will need to pair with the bottoms of...

Yes mine are original pads

I am going to try the 2286's with the pads from a 71/2 and see if that works. I'll let you know if they fit.

Sorry, it was 2286 that I bought. I was half asleep when I sent that message. They are not a good fit. I bought a set of 71/2 mounting pads and I am about to install those. If they dont fit I will just put my originals back in and buy a set of 71/2 mounts to go with those pads. My only concern...

Which mounts did you get? I bought the 2258's for my 73 Vert but they were so hard to get on I will be taking them off. I had to loosen all the motor mount and pad mount bolts to get the long bolts through. I must have bought the wrong one but it is the one that came up when I entered my car on...

The guys are right, start with the balancer but before you do that just check your PCV, this would be my order of searching; 1. Check your PCV to make sure it is working fine (easiest check that could cause your symptoms). Pull the PCV out of the air cleaner and leave it attached to the hose...

Actually I tossed my factory straight hood and replaced it with a NACA. I think the real trick is finding a good intake manifold/lower profile carb or throttle body combo. My setup uses a Weiand X-celerator intake with an Edelbrock throttle body. I am using the “inside the air cleaner” MAF from...

Well it looks like you will be very helpful to many folks on this forum. Some of the things you have already done are going to spark other peoples imagination. Can’t wait to see how this turns out. I am using the ECM from a 2004 Crown Vic to run SEFI on my Cleveland with a 4R70W J mod behind it...

I love this thread! Since you are really considering EFI you might want to go one step better and get your intake manifold from The 460EFIGuys. You can get a complete intake with EFI ported into the manifold instead of a throttle body like you are thinking of. This is real injection not a...

I run Edelbrocks 61629 with hydraulic roller. It mates up with the 2V headers and Weiand X-celerator 2V style 4V intake. Lots of room on the heads and the intake for porting if 450hp is not enough. I run 10.66:1 compression with flat top pistons, which is why I wanted to get rid of the open...

It is all about the shape of the ignition chamber and how it leads to poor air flow during ignition. The open chamber heads allow the spark to ignite the fuel in a manner that causes poor ignition pattern. When you say it’s an old issue you are correct because nobody makes heads like that...

Sounds like a good plan, only thing I would change is the heads. If you already have 2V headers and intake you can get the Edelbrock 61629 heads and get them ported. Unless you come across a set of closed chamber 4V heads that’s what I personally think would be the best option if you want some...

To each their own. I am proud to drive a Mustang and will shout it out at any opportunity, so long as it’s classy.

I like anything that calls out “The Brand”.

Go to the corner put your head down and have a ten minute time out. When you have stopped cursing just admit you need a new balancer and go get one. Your balancer should have, at the very least one line at TDC. Everything you are saying comes down to the balancer in my opinion. It is the number...

From experience, I would suggest you do what it takes to roll the car outside and use a pressure washer with a cheap sand blasting attachment. It will turn 2 weeks of wire wheel work into a one day project. I had a bunch of shipping pallets in my back yard so I rolled the car into the front...

I am in the middle of a rebuild with the 4R70w swap. I decided on the swap because I have been on a mission to go EFI on my Cleveland. Something I have always wanted to and the stars lined up for me. I find driving modern fuel injected cars such a pleasure and I can’t wait to see how it all...
