I am changing the FMX in my 1971 351C fastback to a 4spd toploader as I don't want to change the 3.00 gears to accommodate the overdrive transmission. I am also using an external slave cylinder when installing the hydraulic clutch. I was tempted to use an internal slave cylinder but didn't want...

If you are replacing the springs you may consider tightening up the hinge points which wear over the years of use. When I bought my 1971 fastback a year ago I noticed that the hood closed crooked until it was almost closed. Someone installed 1 spring instead of a pair so the hood closed crooked...

This is related to power steering pumps and systems. I just bought my 1971 351C and the steering seems to easy compared to my 2006 GT and am asking if there is a way to stiffen up the effort. I have thought that maybe I should install a steering dampener like is used on 4X4 trucks. Any...

I want to buy the pair of backing plates for my 1971 fastback 351C as soon as I can. Being a new subscriber to this forum how can I make the purchase? Thx, Bill "Obi One"Kanode

I have rebuilt 2V heads and original rockers. Do I need to have my heads machined to use this set up? I have never worked on Cleveland motors before. Also where are you located? I live near Columbus Ohio. Thx, Bill

Yes there are a number of unscrupulous sellers out there and I was a suckered into buying a 1971 fastback that I felt was a 20 foot driver. I was sure wrong about the seller and car. Under the paint it was a real rust bucket and should not have been driven. Besides the rust there were so many...
