    Crate or Rebuilded engine

    Heard and seen way to many horror stories from crate motors unless they came from a major manufacturer. IE Ford Racing or GM Alot of finger pointing goes on and the owner never really knows who is at fault. You didn't use the proper break in oil or other such excuses. Rebuilding these old push...

    4 Link on 71-73?

    Aint that the truth. I had this saved in my favorites. Not sure if it is somone on this sight. Don't rememeber where I found it but some really nice pics of a TCI 3 Link/Torque Arm with Panhard Bar that was adapted to a 71 I think...

    Can someone explain the different rear setups?

    Generalizing an extremely complicated subject. Both of these should use heim joints because the axle articulation can destroy poly bushings and rubber bushings defeat the purpose in my experience. Unfortunately heims will also cause some road noise/vibration to be transferred. 4 Link Drag...

    Power brakes booster replacement

    Still not 2k PSI line pressure. While I understand the wear and tear that occurs with time. They tested an old vehicle for todays standards not a classic by our cars. Its still a 2001 truck, what I would like to see the pressure of one of our cars tested. The difference is significant from...

    Power brakes booster replacement

    Thats not the results that truckin magazine got when they did a hydroboost conversion. Stock vacuum booster for them on an 01 Chevy truck was only getting a maximum of 700psi pressure. After the conversion they were seeing pressures as much as 2k psi. Not a Mustang but I would say the results...

    Power brakes booster replacement

    Hydraboost is an awesome upgrade from any vacuum booster design. It significantly raises brake line pressure and the clamping load at the caliper. That said these old cars were not designed with such high pressures in mind. I would be a little worried it could aggravate other issues if the rest...

    4 Link on 71-73?

    Huh........ The fox body suspension was a horrible design stock. A watts link is a suspension locator. IE side to side like a panhard bar. Completely different item than 3 or 4 link suspension. But generally used in conjunction with them. Anybody who says a 4 link suspension sucks needs own...

    Can the oil Pan be removed w/ engine in car?

    Sounds all to familiar. I have been asked by multiple people why I am pulling and replacing my whole engine when I could just pull the heads and fix the problems with my motor. Many don't seemt o understand how much of a pain in the *** it can be to pull cast heads off a car like ours. Then...

    Reverse Fluid Injection -Bleeding Brakes

    Wow, so logical and simple. It all seems so simple. Brakes are by far one of my most dreaded tasks. Messy Nasty and always a pain in the ***. I installed a used set of SSBC brakes on my truck a few years ago. Had nothing but issues at first. Bleeders leaking, missing parts, and seals leaking...

    Alternator Question

    Unfortunately the replacements for our stock external regulators suck. They are the typical china made crap. I converted to an 95 amp internal regulated alternator and never looked back. Not a single issue since.

    Thanksgiving miracle

    Cars can be replaced, sad to see the 5.0 has had it. But it took one for the team and saved his life which is most important.

    big block vs small block?

    AFR is one of the top SBF out of the box cylinder header producers for a reason. They really do produce a good product. But you will also pay for the added power they produce. That is the reason I like the Edelbrock heads so much. You can get a used set of aluminum edelbrock heads for 700-800...

    big block vs small block?

    Man speaks the truth no doubt with that statement. For the record at this point I am sticking with my plan. Slowly collecting necessary parts on a budget when they show up. Cash is king and people will deal when cash is in hand. But it is taking patience.
