the video quality doesn't really do the engine justice. its loud.

went out yesterday driving with my son.  I had him take a couple of videos while I was driving.  the vid quality isn't great, but you get the idea. this stretch of road is actually fairly steep uphill the whole way, its a little hard to tell in the vid. also, you can't tell but I was hitting...

I never actually imagined that I would drive my Mach 1 in the snow, but it happened yesterday. Technically it was flurries and didn't stick, but it was snowing. my biggest concern was that it would turn to rain. I have no heat or defrost, and the wipers are terrible. fortunately the sun came...

well my screws arrived from Ohio mustang supply. fortunately I was smart enough to order 2 sets of bezel screws, unfortunately I was not smart enough to order 2 sets of headlight door screws/retainers. it said "12 piece kit", but thats because the screws come in 2 colors....

I looked at building/buying alot of things before I got my new 418 crate motor this winter. I made the right choice for me. but there are lots of "right" choices for diff people

took my car to the engine builder's shop today. 57 degrees outside, 175 at op temp, warm idle around 800. first thing he did was connect his vacuum gauges. at idle, the motor was making 10lbs of vacuum and the idle was too low. using the vacuum gauges as reference, carb was adjusted to 1050...

I don't drive in the rain because I have no hvac, and the OEM wipers are terrible.

is anyone running their ram air scoops without the dummy plates, but without installing the actuated ram air doors?  I was thinking about just removing the ram air dummy plates to get more airflow over the engine for cooling.  my only concern is debris and water getting in.  I don't drive the...

I found these "headlight ring screws" 70-78. maybe they are the headlight retaining ring screws I need? not sure https://www.ohiomustang.com/store/order_page.asp?itemid=1923

is there also a kit that includes the screws needed for the headlamp bezel that  holds the lamp bucket in place?  I need both the door trim screws above, and the bezel screws

my engine builder thinks 1,000 is too high, and should back off to 750. he also wonders if the timing got changed during engine install. if I can't get it sorted myself tomorrow, my engine guy says to bring it buy and he will set the tune himself. can't argue with that.

so yesterday I had a few spare minutes and figured I'd swap out the headlights for the new LEDs. hahahaha....few extra minutes....I should know better. So after I removed the wood screws holding in the headlight bezels, I started to pull the light bucket forward to reach the H4 plug, no slack...

so its a new custom built crate motor. I have about 200 miles on it.  its been bench tested, but now its real life in a car being driven around in different conditions.  lots of new parts settling in, so I assume it needs to be tuned as it gets some miles on it. I've never heard of a new motor...

I have about 200 miles on the new 418 crate motor now.  I've only been able to use it 3 days since the work was done due to weather.  early last week I adjusted the idle to get warm idle at about 1,000. that is working fine now.  today for the first time, I drove about 20 miles, parked for 30...

got it adjusted so at temp its idling nicely at 1000. man this car is fun after all the winter mods. next up are easy things: headlights and seats. next winter I hope to get into the dash and electrical as I am planning to add A/C. right now I have no heat, a/c or evening the fan working...

thanks guys. I noted in the engine stand video my builder sent me, the idle is around 1000 at temp. somewhere between the engine build and install/running in car, the warm idle is closer to 500. I need to get that sorted. its a quickfuel carb that I don't know much about, so I will call the...

So I just got back from my first 1hr drive. the car is so much better. after 1hr of driving, engine temp is 180, at stop lights, the idle is about 500. since its a stroker, at 500rpm it idles like a drag car, like its about to stall. of course it also shakes the whole car at 500rpm. when the...

I don't know if they will fit, but I can tell you what does fit: 54-Series Magnum 500 Wheel Size: 15'' x 10'' Bolt Circle: 5 x 4-1/2" Rear Spacing: 5'' 6.25" backspace vs 5" backspace is a big difference

I just found this kit.  reclining, velour, mild bolster. seems pretty inexpensive and the claim is that they bolt in.  one review says the seat is 1" higher than stock, but that is prob going to be true for every new seat...

I've decided I want to swap my front buckets to something more like a pro-touring type seat. by that I mean: something with more support, but not a race seat with bolsters so big you have to climb over them. lumbar support would be nice.  I want a material that is some sort of fabric, or at...
