Thought I would get this out here since it is a pretty easy upgrade and only takes about 20 minutes. The direct drive fan works great for cooling but isn't exactly performance friendly. Upgrading to a modern thermostatic clutch fan will net a few easy horsepower and quiet down the engine a...

Another easy one but this one isn't so much for power. Our cars came with a tube that just dumps coolant on the ground which is bad. I am not a Environmental Nazi, but dumping coolant on the ground is bad for the earth and unsafe. Bottom line is if you ever go to the drag strip or you get tired...

Something often overlooked during a build. But can be the death of a great machine. Here is a great article on fasteners. Worth a read. I know I learned alot. This is archived over at Pirate 4x4 a great sight with alot of knowledge. Originally Published in Xtreme Offroad Magazine Issue #1...

I will continue to edit and improve this as I work on it. For those that don't know at this time our Ram Air Flapper Actuator is not reproduced. At one point it was but who ever made them stopped. That leaves us a problem. Either paying to get replacement originals(crazy priced). Perogie...

I finally got time today to get her out from under the cover and install the shoes. I still have to install the progressive rate 1" lowering springs up front and roller perchs also. I will report back once I get some ride time on them on how they feel. All the research paid off and they fit real...

So I saw a coupon yesterday for $100 off spending $400 or more on tires at Discount Tire Direct on Ebay. So I finally got off my ass and ordered new wheels and tires. Since 2 tires were put on my Stang in 94 and the other 2 in 2004. So $1k on tires and wheels got me this. Its gonna be good...

Not a fan of Top Gear. They suck as far as I am concerned as far as car shows go but I saw this in the news. 1st link is Jalopnik Story about them getting thrown out and second shows cars they left. http://jalopnik.com/top-gear-was-just-forcibly-thrown-out-of-argentina-1642056799 Pull up the...

I was wondering if anybody had some more info on these. I ran across them on Facebook and requested more information. Search function didn't turn up any threads. Scroll down their page to the 71 Mach 1 Page says they are producing them for sale. https://www.facebook.com/AJESuspension...

Well hell I din even know they made something to fix issues like that. I thought that I was going to have to eventually replace the original windshield in my 71 Stang. Something I have avoided for years because at some point long before I owned it someone let the wiper arm wear a scratch into...

So while I am here in the desert when I get time I am continuing to collect parts to finish my build when I get home. My stock clutch isn't gonna cut it for 350-400 at the wheels that I am shooting for. Hell it sucks in some driving conditions now. I snagged a new Mcleod 463200 164t Steel...

Or Kuwait in this case. God its hot here like a blow drier on hi when ya walk outside. Got sick of working on the car so I got deployed. Or in this case pcs'ed to Fort Knox and was told "your deploying to Kuwait in 30 days". So stang is on hold till next year. I do get some extra money and time...

I was just wondering if any of you have messed with the Ford SVO upgrade module made by MSD with built Rev Limiter. Or the upgrade coil. I know they are out of production parts but seem to show up often enough if ya poke around a bit. PN M-12199-C301 Module PN M-12029-A302 Coil

Saw these on Craigslist for $400 and am considering grabbing them. Set is 15x8 and 15x4 with 5x4.5 bolt pattern. Always been a fan of slots and these look like they might match the silver on my car. Anybody had a set of the steel slots. Any opinions. Looked for pics on cars but didn't come up...

So this weekend I aquired a very nice pair of 15x7 Appliance Industries Slotted wheels with classic AF/X Center Caps. Even better they are the actual 5x4.5 and not the unilug design. I am looking for 2 15x8 Appliance Slots to go with them in good condition. Really would like to get some fat...

As was noted in another thread kinda odd the car came with the standard hood when the NASA hood was a free upgrade. Car was originally sold in Gouverneur, NY and spent its whole life in upstate NY until I purchased it in 2004-2005 time frame. Has various parts from a crashed Boss 351 including...

So I got my new third member in and that fixed some of my issues. Including the annoying noise the car made when slowing down in gear. But it didn't fix my clunk. Unfortunately that is axle play from a worn shaft. 42 year old car with 94k miles whoda thought. So I have been searching for three...

So I am assembling parts to put my new motor together. One of the quandaries I found is flywheel and clutch info. I don't have the motor out of the car so that doesn't help. The search function didn't find me much either. So I know my car has the 164t flywheel with 28oz imbalance. I believe it...

I couldn't help myself being a budget build is such a personal opinion. But no this is not a 1-2k Budget build unicorn. But it also won't cost 4-6k like a 400hp crate engine goes for a lot of the time. So to give a bit of background my motor(original 302 rebuilt in the 80's) has had some...

In my search for a 5.0l Roller Block for my Mustang I came across this in the Raleigh, NC Craigslist. http://raleigh.craigslist.org/pts/3994118518.html #1 I don't think this guy has much of a clue in what he might have judging by the ad. The first thing that came up in google for that block...

So what is everybody's opinion on Racing Junk? For those that don't know it is the stuff that gets run for a season or 2 and gets sold. I live in an area with a good chunk of various racing. So alot of this stuff finds its way to Craigslist after the racer moves to the next setup. I ask...
