I decided I would start a thread for my Mustang, been ongoing, of and on, for years. Right now there's no engine in it, right front fender is off, the interior is stripped, front bumper off, and grill off. I have a 4-bolt block and Q code heads at a machine shop. Getting the block bored out to...

I had originally posted this in the general forum section. I made a couple of minor corrections and added a picture of the instrument voltage regulator and decided to post it in the tutorial section (where I should have posted it in the first place).

The other day a post referenced an older thread that had questions about the physical sizes of Ford engines. Here is a chart that I got from Hot Rod several years ago that appears to be fairly accurate. I compared these dimensions to others that I have and they seem to be consistent. The width...

The attached spreadsheet is set up so that anyone can enter a tire size and get the approximate diameter, widths, and recommended rim width. Axle ratios can also be entered and the engine RPM at 60mph is shown, based on the tire size. The engine RPM can also be entered to check speeds, based on...

UPS brought me some engine jewelry today: These came with the Scat stroker kit, nice looking stuff. The timing set is double roller from Rollmaster and has Torrington bearings on the thrust plate and the cam gear. Got one more shipment coming from Summit this Friday and next week I'll be taking...

I finally finished a little project I started a couple of years ago. I got tired of trying to trace the circuits on the circuit boards to figure out which one went where, and decided to add the color coding to the circuit diagrams. What I came up with is in the attached PDF file. If anyone...

Saw this article from Hagerty this morning. While it's more geared to high end cars, it still applies to us, too. There's always going to be people trying to figure out a way to separate us from our hard-earned money...

It's been a while since I participated in forum discussions. I would look in once in a while to see how things were going, though. We moved last year and the place we moved to needed quite a bit of TLC, nothing major, just a lot of it. Between moving, COVID, doctors, etc. I haven't taken the...

Attached is a spreadsheet, that I originally posted in 2016, that is designed to give the user a starting point for selecting their camshaft. I wasn't able to edit the old one, so I reposted it here. The recommended duration is for intake. With Clevelands, and other engines, a longer duration...

The subject of VIN (vehicle identification number) removal and changes have been discussed several times on the forum. Here's an example of what can happen, and what some laws regarding it are like...

It appears that we don't have an 'Off Topic' discussion, so thought I would post this here. Kind of a follow up to recent posts about mufflers. May be coming to a city near you in the future, cameras that capture loud exhausts and license plates...

We'll have to wait and see...

I came across this article the other day: Nostalgia - 351C 4V Street Motors in the 1970s | The De Tomaso Forums (infopop.cc) A couple of comments, he mentions a clearance problem with using regular bolts on the Shelby manifolds for 351C. The solution to this is to either use socket (allen)...

After writing this in response to a thread, I decided to make it into a tutorial so it would be easier to find than searching for it. Ignition Systems and the Ford Tachometer.pdf

As I mentioned a week or two ago, a future project is to convert my hood latch to an interior release, and using the release lever in the grill for only releasing the secondary (safety) latch. Here is the draft of where I've gotten to on it, so you can see how relatively easy it will be to do...
