    R code HO motor

    I have sent message after message to get a bumper that I paid for. He lead me along until the one month eBay refund coverage ran out. I should of just turned it into eBay, but I was trying to be a nice guy. All my purchases are now strictly watched and if I do not get something as promised, I...

    Starting on the 1972 Mach 1

    I have now got the 72 Mach 1 moved to the shop and am going to start fixing it. This is a Q code and should be fun to drive! I am going to focus on the mechanical repairs first. That way I can drive it. It is going to be a ratty musclecar thing. Rebuild of the engine is mandatory as the...

    HELP!!! Clearcoat looks like crap

    Let me start by saying that I have painted basecoat and clear coat before, PPG products. However, this is the first time that I used Eastwood products. I used epoxy primer after my son and I stripped the car. We stripped it by sanding and not chemicals. Did some bondo work and about three weeks...

    Is it NASA or NACA?

    I have looked at some other threads about this same issue, but none seem to definitively call the hood one way. Is it both? The reason I ask, I am talking to a self described mustang expert and I called it a NACA hood and he said I was wrong it is a NASA hood. Who is right?

    302 swapped to 351W

    I pulled out a 302 from a 1972 Mustang and am putting in a 1969 351W. Got the engine swapped out last night. But when I went to put the manifolds on, they did not reach. I simply unbolted the manifolds from the block with them still attached to the rest of the exhaust. I was able to lay them...

    Crank pulley

    I am putting a 1969 351W in my 1972 Mustang. I need a crank puley. It is the older style with three mounting holes. I would prefer a three groove pulley for altenator, power steering, and A/C. But a two groove for just the alt and P/S would work for now.

    Help with 351W timing chain gears

    I have a 1969 351W from a Mustang. It is the 4V version and everything is still OEM. So I go to change the timing gear set as the OEM an aluminum gear with plastic nylon teeth. Everything looks very good, but the plastic must be getting brittle and could crack. I had a brand new Autozone OEM...

    Look what followed me home!

    I bought this from mustang7173. Picked it up this weekend and brought it home: Then we cleaned it up and took out all the carpet, headliner, and underlayment. The cowl leaks and the floors are wet. There is rust so the floors are shot. I bought this for the drivetrain to...

    F150 300cid running like crap

    My son called me yesterday saying his 1981 F150 is running like crap. He said it ws billowing out black smoke, would barely run unless he kept the throttle revved up, and it would die at the stoplights. He drove it over to my house and I saw the smoke and thought the carburator float is stuck...

    Reproduction apron repairs

    I have been reading and examining the fender aprons for our Mustangs and it appears that the top surface does not have the slots for the fender clips. Is this true? How do you put them in? Or would a better repair, specifically to the battery side apron, splice the lower part of the apron that...

    429 burn out

    I came across this and thought you all might enjoy this! Great to know someone is not afraid to drive their car (or in this case sit and shred the tires).

    1973 Grande Resurrection

    With my son's 1972 Mustang running and he being now responsible for further financial fixings, I am embarking on the restoration of my 1973 Grande. It is a H-code roller shell that needs a ton of work. I am crazy for even thinking of fixing this, but it is my car and I like crazy! Here is how...

    Spot weld cutter recommendation

    I am going to start the replacement process for my 1973 Mustang cowl. In the past, I have been a real cheapskate and just used the grinder and cutoff wheel to free up those spot welds. This is time consumming and sometimes very difficult to reach tight areas. But it suited me well. However...

    Another cowl question

    I have searched this site and I think I understand, but let me ask to be clear. The reproduction cowl for the 71-73 is for a non A/C car? If I have an A/C car I have to buy a $440 reproduction cowl and then modify it for the A/C car? http://www.ohiomustang.com/store/order_page.asp?itemid=3228...
