My experience mirror's yours. I have run the Summit carbs on two applications and found it to be one of the best carbs out there for the street. Those big annular boosters are just what the doctor ordered for a Cleveland and I like the fact that you can change jets without spilling fuel. A 750...

Has anyone ever tried fabbing a faux urethane bumper by modifying a steel one? I would give it a shot if I had a template to work off of. Since you are painting it, makes no difference if some filler material is used to get the contour right.

Having owned three of these cars, I have found that the hinges can be bent just by pulling "down" vertically with a lot of force. I personally "push" my hood toward the cowl while simultaneously pulling down. I've replaced hinges on two of my cars due to the previous owners trying to close them...

While I've yet to use one on a Cleveland (I'm going to soon), I have used both the 4100's as well as Summit's "improved version" on Windsor applications with good success. The large annular boosters provide very good throttle response, quick starts and I like the fact that I can replace jets...

Can one purchase only one panel from Mustang Market. I'm painting one of my originals. so a perfect color match is not a concern . Everyone seems to offer them in pairs only.

Does anyone make correct replacement bumpers for the fold down rear seat. I'm not sure mine are original. but they look similar to hood stops.

I need a BT intake, so let the thread continue...........

As I pointed out earlier, you can achieve your target of 375 HP (400 is a stretch keeping it street friendly) with a 302, but not with a naturally aspirated 1973 302. The 1973 302 has low flowing heads and dished hypereutectic pistons that will make it difficult to build compression.  You can...

A stroker 302 is an option. The block does require notching for the stroker crank and yes, different rods are required. The wrist pin is located so high in the piston that it breaks into the oil ring land, requiring a ring support. A number of 347 owners report increased oil consumption over...

You can meet your HP target with a 302. I have one in my Maverick producing that kind of power. Having said that, I would not personally choose that foundation for a Mustang project given the relatively large engine compartment these cars afford.  If I were seeking a streetable, docile 400 HP...

Minor tight lipped cracks are OK. I just don't want one where the crack has opened up and is curled. I will be re-spraying it.

Has anyone purchased a set of these SS headers advertised on Ebay? I'm sure that they are Chinese knockoffs of someone's headers. The fact that they advertise them fitting a 74 Mustang 351C is scary enough. ...

Since the color doesn't matter, someone has got to have one of these!

I had the ultimate bad. The previous owner painted my white interior black and did a very lousy job at that. I also used lacquer thinner and scotch bright to remove the paint, followed by a steam cleaner and Wesley's Bleche-Wite. The Bleche-Wite works on white seats as good as it does on white...

I envy those who have cars that don't require it......

You can buy feed grade molasses at Tractor Supply and yes, it works great at stripping rust. I soaked a rusty 302 block in it for about three weeks, It stripped all of the rust both externally and in the water jackets. My machinist couldn't believe it. It is non toxic and bio degradable. You...

Yup. I'll be doing same to mine. I'll also be doing the wheel houses on the drivers side. It seems strange that the left hand side of my car needs so much more work than the right. I assume both halves of the car saw the same conditions.

Outstanding. This gives me a much better picture of the fit and the prep.

I tried something on my Maverick that worked great. I used the hook tool to free up part of the trim and then GENTLY pulled it lengthwise (from the end). The trim slid off of the clips one by one. It must be done with great care, so as not to bend the trim. I'm not sure this will work on the...
