    To Be Or Not To Be...Original Or Modded?

    I agree doesnt have to be Magnum500's. But if you want aftermarket wheels go with AR Torque Thrust wheels like Frank Bullitt put on his car.

    Intake and head suggestion 351c 2v rebuild

    Do not spend the bucks for Aussie heads. A while ago it was a bargain upgrade. Now it is not. And stay away from ralph the thief at powerheads. Take a look at Kaase offers. He uses CHI (also from Australia) alum heads with awesome results. There is a 3V version with matching intake that will do...

    To Be Or Not To Be...Original Or Modded?

    Ported Vaccuum?

    I believe I have seen at least 4 different vac hose diagrams for 72 351c's depending upon if it is 2v, 4v, auto, manual, ac/non-ac ....and of course if it was a california car. I also dont know if the autolite 2100 on my car even had a dist advance port. I do know that my engine had open...

    Ported Vaccuum?

    73pony is right. lots of opinions. I believe GM used ported and Ford used constant and that is why aftermarket carbs have both available. I left both plugged on the Holley and used intake port because it looked original.

    What should I expect to spend building a 408 stroker?

    dont forget that after you finally finish that 450+HP work of art and drop it in the car...you will find that the trans will never hold up...and the factory brakes are not up to the job anymore...or the springs/shocks for that matter...etc. So the answer to yer question is "around $30k over a...

    1971 Mustang Gas Cap

    I had a disagreement about this issue in the past. I will tell you what I found. The gas cap on my 72 has a rubber gasket and a small hole in the center of the inside of the cap. When the cap was tested by the DMV inspector I was told the cap doesnt hold a vacuum. When the DMV checked on their...

    i believe you will need different mounts. These cars came with choice of 4 blocks and used different mounts for the converts as well.

    Ported Vaccuum?

    MY swap from oem 2V to 4V involved the factory intake replaced with an Edelbrock intake, both of which use a vac connection tapped in the forward area of the intake. That was how Ford designed it and always worked just fine with my new Holley and factory dist.

    Anyone do a windsor swap?

    71-73's were available with a 302 so obviously you can make the swap. But unless you have some financial incentive to do the swap why would you want to remove the best designed engine ford ever produced and install the older, less efficient agricultural lump?

    This can't be good!

    He didnt say not to use water, he said not to use a hose....do not spray pressured water on the car because the seals are not tight. A bucket and a sponge and elbo grease is always an option.
