I have them in my 73 (bought that one first).  Decided against them on my 72.    I REALLY like the look, especially on the boss blackout (which my 72 does have)...  But they are a bit finicky and you have to adjust them just right or they cause a valley around them on that long hood. It makes...

A Cleveland can easily produce 1.21 gigawatts. 

Sucks for them that the Boss 351 was superior to all of theirs in every way (except maybe rear visibility).   I think our body style was just too much of a departure from prior years for the purists. I guess I kinda felt that way toward 2nd gen Camaros when I had my 67. I personally think...

That color white is spectacular man. 

I was raised in a GM household and the first classics I worked on were Chevys.  The only of our year Mustangs I ever saw as a kid were sportsroof/mach1s, and I always thought they were spectacularly cool, despite my bowtie leanings.   I never really saw a 71-73 vert until the early 2000s. I...

If you are planning to use the Addco 3/4” bar, its brackets may be a little different position than stock. That system assumes no pre-existing bracket; you drill for the bracket based on the location of the bar after the end link assemblies are positioned on the springs and the end links are...

Welcome from North Carolina.  Always cool to have another vert on the site.  Congratulations on your new, awesome car.    I think you will find these forums very helpful. 

Welcome from NC!   The knowledge people take the time to share on this site is priceless. I honestly cannot count how many times an issue has been solved (or prevented) for me by a question or search of these forums.   Glad to have you here.  You’ve got a great car!

Allow me to express my most heartfelt condolences.  You and your family will be in my prayers.  

Wish you were closer to the Carolinas Kevin. My body guy bought an original Ford frame machine with all the specs and doodads for early Mustangs. He is overhauling a 69 Boss 429 that I would have waaaay given up for dead.  I saw it on the machine today. Very impressive. 

For what it’s worth, my TKO 600 was a pretty straightforward swap with the help of the Modern Driveline kit. Required zero modification to the tunnel.    I do know that earlier mustangs require modification to the tunnel but haven’t seen that with ours. Tremec also already made a low profile...

Glad to hear it. Like the posters above, I found those guys good to work with.    They were very helpful talking with me and I ultimately decided to go with the 996 bar (the one for our Mustangs that weren’t factory equipped with rear anti-sway bars).  I definitely dig the stock replacement...

Not to hijack, but does anybody know if something’s up with Addco?  I think the website’s been down a few days...

Congratulations on getting a beautiful car. I really do like that color. 

I had a torker intake on a very strong 406 small block in a Camaro.  It made good high-end power but was not great on the low end. It definitely needed more than a 1500RPM stall converter.  Probably twice that. Obviously my cam also was pretty lopey but it was supposed to be a good match for the...

I like Edelbrocks myself and have had good experience with them but I seem to remember that they are sensitive to too much fuel pressure. I had one bogging at higher speeds once and had to add a pressure regulator.    I wouldn’t take this as suspect number one, but something to keep in mind if...

I only mentioned ethanol-free because I have heard that water can play real havoc with ethanol gas. I am not an expert on it by any means but I think water gets absorbed by the ethanol and above a certain concentration it leads to separation.  The ironic thing is I think water treatment...

Sounds like you are a lot quicker on the uptake than I was man.    I’d use a gatorade bottle full of good gas before the fuel pump and see if it fires after some priming. If it does, I’d start draining using a pump siphon... probably a bucket or so to look at and confirm bad gas.  Once...

That is a bummer man. Sorry to hear it.    Happened to me once in my 67 Camaro, about 20 years ago.  It was sputtering a little after the fill-up, but made it a few miles. I was young and had never experienced bad gas; I used the car as a daily driver so had been through plenty of little...

Congratulations on seeing it off to paint. Very impressive pace, brother. Thanks for the updates; it has been great to watch.
