I would be willing to bet the starter solenoid is the culprit here, mostly because the shop that looked at it said it was a bad connection at the starter solenoid. Starter solenoids on Fords are like the Mopar electronic ignition control units and their ballast resistors, you should always have...

The guy that stamped that block must have been drunk when he did this, but it does seem to be the matching numbers block. I can see the 2F and then at the end the 6955, the 1 and the 9 are more difficult to see, but it seems that they are there... I have not seen one this bad, but I am sure...

My first car when I was 16 was a 1971 Sportsroof Mustang, but that was almost 40 years ago...

I wish you were in Texas, I would be more than willing to help you here. What is the weird tranny issue? 350-400 HP out of a 351 C is very doable, but you will need a complete combination to make it work right, the correct converter for the cam you choose, some rear end gears, and a good trac...

Why not put it on eBay at auction and see what it brings? You can put a reserve of whatever you feel comfortable selling the car for, and see where it goes. All you need are 2 buyers that really like the car to get the price up there. Car has a great look with the wheels and the color combo...

Welcome from Texas!

You could be right, I don't recall there being a washer there in my car, but there may have been one there originally. Here is a diagram. I only see 2 washers, the one on the pin of the emergency brake bracket and the one on the adjusting screw.

The drum brake adjusting screw assembly uses at least one washer, I believe that is where your wave washer goes. You could also have the washers from the bolts that hold the wheel cylinders on.

Does it still have the 3 speed manual?

People are just really afraid of carburetors, but in reality they are really easy to rebuild. I learned to do Holley carbs when I was like 16-17 years old from a friend that was a mechanic and a racer. I did the Thermoquad carb on my 72 Demon 340, when I was 16-17 years old by just reading the...

You can get automotive steel braided hose in almost any size, and that hose is usually rated to 300 degrees.

The only thing I can think of is that those hoses are not heat rated to be inside and engine compartment, and that antifreeze could have a detrimental effect on the hose. To be honest, if the hose can take I would say 260-270 degrees of temperature, you should be able to use it. Thing is that...

Where the red circle is on the last photo, why not use some 90 degree angle steel there? That way you do not have to weld over the lap joint. Where the yellow circle is you could do the same thing as in the other side of the subframe where you weld a plate like you are doing on the inside of the...

Let me know when you get there. I have not been able to find one.

That is pretty bad...

Bump

There are 4 NOS ones on eBay for sale...

Were the shocks still mounted? That will make a big difference.

Oh, okay. So you moved the lower A-Arm forward then, toward the front of the vehicle? I thought that since the brake lines seemed to be short, that you had moved the A-Arms towards the back of the vehicle.

Moving the strut rod positioning affects your caster. If you move the lower arm back towards the doors you will be putting a lot of negative caster on the car, which is exactly what you do not want. You always want the suspension to have positive caster. Obviously we have no idea where we are at...
