    1972 mechanical rebuild

    I found exactly what I need for the PS brackets! You were close c9zx, it is another head attachment. Here is a picture I found that shows exactly what I need! I hope this will help others doing this type of swap. I will give more details and pictures of the brackets when I get them installed and...

    How to spend 50x the money and be happy

    Easy choice. Get the Ram Air working! Besides, tell everyone that removing those $10 stickers would cost more due to repaint or something.

    1972 mechanical rebuild

    Here is another update from the weekend: My son and I starting building a paint booth just outside the garage. The car is inside and we will start sanding and touching up a few areas: Notice the 17"wheels. They fit perfect with 1.5" spacers! One area I am still looking for help is the...

    New job is going well...

    rpmcarter, look who is running the state. Security is in high demand due to their "infringing", if you know what I mean?

    1972 mechanical rebuild

    Main hold up for the 351W at this time is finding a suitable crank pulley. It has the three hole mounting and everything I find on ebay is like $150 plus. Are they that hard to find that they demand that kind of pricing? Could go aftermarket, but kind of wanted it to look stock.

    1972 mechanical rebuild

    So I get home Tuesday night and my son has decided to spray paint the car with farm implement red paint from Tractor Supply. He taped off all the windows and trim well enough, but he tried painting it in high wind and it rained that night. I did not discourage him, but I did give him the heads...

    After marker steering wheel. Suggestions?

    Has Grant fixed the crappy center horn button on the GT. I have one and the center keeps popping off? Other than that, I do like the looks of it.

    New sound from the engine

    First check to see if a spark plug is loose. My son's f150 came up with this kind of noise. We checked a bunch of stuff and went to remove the plugs and check them and one of the back plugs was barely in the hole! Seems these back plugs are hard to get to (even on a mustang) and they are not...

    Halloween Horror Mustang??

    Perhaps all the car needs is a '01' and a rebel flag on the top. Looks like the car is bent. From jumping? I guess Cotter couldn't straighten this one out.

    73 Q Code Indiana

    Looks good, but "no spark". Why is it people do not understand that by simply making sure the car can start and move (even if it is not exactly drivable on the highway) it will sell for more money and sell faster? Then again, maybe this seller knows and does not want to spend the money to fix a...

    1972 mechanical rebuild

    Check out the wheels! 17" monsters from a 2002 Mustang. I have to add spacers to bring the wheels out a little as they are very close to the inner fender and will rub over the smallest bump. I also need to space out the front as they rub on the upper ball joint. Need about 1.5" to be safe. Could...

    1972 351C manifolds

    NO it will not end!!! Silly boy:D You are as good as married to the car. For better or worse you will pay. Also note that at the time of seperation you will also be raked over the coals and never recoup the costs. So just smile and accept it.

    1972 mechanical rebuild

    [/i]The 302 is out! My son and I got the 351W put in. I took the exhaust out of the car and cut the pipe nad place the manifolds back on the engine. Now I just have to weld an extension onto the exhaust and place it back under the car. I also have a full exhaust system from a 1970 Mach 1. I...

    Highly optioned 71 Mach in STL...Interesting

    AS SVH said above, if I won the lottery fantasy, I would buy up cars like these and fix them. And I would want to keep eveyone of them!

    Highly optioned 71 Mach in STL...Interesting

    It is really well optioned with the dual altenator and power steering option!

    1971 Mustang Grande restoration.

    My opinion, focus on the first steps. If you want to start on the engine, I would purchase the engine hoist and engine stand. If you want to tear down the engine yourself, a good socket set and decent ratchets. I would also purchase a good valve spring compressor to disassemble the heads. Even...
