Here's a pic of my cowl. There appears to be seam sealer around the 'chimney' portion. Is this from the factory or a repair job? My cowl doesn't leak, BUT the floor boards on the driver's side were rusty.

I have a few rust bubbles on my car. I plan on taking care of them next winter and have the car painted. In the mean time I want to stop the rust from getting worse, but I also don't want to drive around in a primer-mobile. I was thinking of getting a tiny drill bit, drill into the bubble...

For those of you that have dyno'ed your cars, what sort of numbers did you put up? Also, what sort of modifications were done to your engines and what was the intended purpose of your build (street, strip, etc..)? I'm just curious to see what kind of mods did what for your engines. Thanks!

Hi Guys, I picked up some freshly redone iron 4v CC heads that I hope to use in about 2 months. What is the best way to store the heads to prevent them from rusting? I was thinking of wrapping them in oil soaked rags or something along those lines. Thanks!

One of the things on my to-do list is to have my car painted. It is currently Blue Glow with Argent stripes/hood and blue interior. I like the color combo, but I was also thinking of flipping it to make it more unique. What do you guys think (photoshopped car is not mine)? EDIT: Second pic is...

I drove 6 hours (both ways) today to grab these parts... however for the price I was paying it was worth it... The intake has some obscure writing on it... "Strip Dominator"... :)

Hi Everyone, I found a set of bare CC 4V iron heads for my 351c from a retired engine builder. They are $200 and already machined for screw in studs, and for $350 more he will machine the spring seats for oversized springs, machine the guides for positive seals, supply and install 16 bronze...

When installing a roller camshaft, should I be looking to have the heads machined to accept adjustable rockers? Or can I use a set of pedestal mount roller rockers (which I already have)? My car is a weekend cruiser, and reliability is important, unless there are significant performance gains...

Hi all, I'm looking to upgrade my 351c to CC aluminum 4V heads (currently have OC 4V heads). I'm looking for heads that will go well with my setup which has an optimal RPM range of about 2-6K. I already have an Edelbrock RPM air-gap intake so I was thinking of getting Edelbrock 4V heads...

Hi guys, I wanted to share with you all my setup for Ram Air using an Air-Gap intake. I have not run the car yet as I ended up moving just as I finished putting the engine in the car. I hope to have the car completed within the next few months. This is more just a show-and-tell :)...

Hi all, If I were to buy a set of Scorpion roller rockers (pedestal mount), with a stock 351c rocker ratio of 1.73, would I be able to keep my stock sized comp cams magnum push rods? Or will the geometry be different and require a different length of pushrod?

The B&M torque converter I bought for my 351c with C6 does not line up with the stock flexplate.... Anyone experience similar issues? However there is a slight chance that my existing torque converter and flex plate aren't original...

For those of you that have run a similar set up to mine with a 280H camshaft: 351c 4v open, 9:1 compression Comp Cams 280h Flat top pistons Holley 670cfm Air gap intake Mallory mechanical advance distributor Electronic ignition Full length headers 2400 rpm stall 3.25 rear end What's a...

Hi, The goal of the rebuild is a mild street engine for occasional pedal flooring. I have a '73 351c 4v engine with a stock compression of 8:1. The camshaft kit I bought (comp cams 280h) calls for 9:1 compression. The '73 351c had lower compression due to dished pistons. If I used flat top...

Hi, I fired up my mustang for the first time in a few months yesterday. It ran fine. Today I fire it up and my brake light light is on. Checked the fluid, it was very low, so I topped it up. Checked the parking brake, and it is fine (the car rolls). Can anyone offer some suggestions? Not even...

I removed my A pillar plastic trim pieces the other day because they were cracked (now fixed). However, I'm not sure if they are 'sitting' properly because there is a gap between the pillar and the trim piece when viewing from the outside. Can someone please post a picture of what their plastic...

What do you guys regret doing or not doing during your restoration? I would love to learn from others' mistakes :)

Can someone please show me how the package tray fastens to the rear shelf? I have the correct hardware, I'm just not sure how to mount it since it was loose when I purchased the car. Thanks!

My interior restoration is dragging on... however, I'd rather do it right than to rush things. With a deluxe blue interior, its hard to come by original replacement parts (either used or NOS). I'm trying to keep my car as original as possible, so I'm trying to refrain from using reproduction...

I've searched for the answer to this question online with no luck, however I'm sure one of you knowledgeable folks here will know the answer... My friend is offering me a great price on a Mallory Unilite electronic distributor with matching coil. This would be a nice upgrade to my (very old)...
