    What did you do today instead of working on your Mustang?

    Another range day today dialing in my 338-06 handloads for an upcoming mountain goat, moose and elk hunt in far north BC. This assuming the borders open, the outfitter gets into the camps, flights are sorted and my recent aching lower back all sort out...

    What did you do today instead of working on your Mustang?

    I volunteered at the local food bank with my wife and youngest son then hit a Mexican restaurant (50% seating) for a great lunch. The place filled quick and the little town is clearly coming alive again. A great day frankly.

    new 418 stroker and other winter mods

    My 427 Windsor idles well at 900 rpm and drops to 800 rpm when the AC is flipped on. It dynoed at 470 hp (5400 rpm) and 560 ft-lbs of torque (3700 rpm). With the Tremec 5 speed it is a beast yet an easy to drive car.

    Steering box question

    I have a power steering dot com 12.7 in my car and it is perfection. When I bought the original owner was selling the business so I paid a fair bit less than what they are asking today. That with Shaun's coil over system is pure bliss.

    Steering Gear Box

    I sent mine to Power Steering Services for a rebuild and conversion to their quick ratio (12.7:1) conversion. Not cheap but done right and a delight to drive. A new owner has taken over and his prices have gone up. I think I paid $375. http://www.powersteering.com/

    What is your background story for your interest in these cars?

    I graduated from college as an ME in 1985 and was searching either an early Z-28 of a C2 Corvette. I bought a 65 327/365 Corvette soon after I graduated and did a mechanical restoration. Fun car. A few years later a 68 327/350 was purchased and it was a great car but I preferred the solid lifter...

    Factory A/C System

    My 73 Mach 1 is an original A/C car that had the under hood stuff removed by the PO. I have installed an Old Air Products A/C combined with a Vintage Air Front Runner accessory drive. It works great. I am outside Boerne, between Bergheim and Kendalia, and would be happy to meet up with you and...

    Cars you wish you had back.

    When I graduated from university in 1985 I bought a really nice 65 Corvette coupe with the 365 hp 327 ($8K...). I rebuilt the motor, suspension, brakes and steering and it was an absolute blast to drive. It was a daily driver along with my CJ5 for years. I still miss the sound of those solid...
