The Newport kit for a 36 Ford is $500. The kits he’s asking about are $38-$90. I’m sort of curious, too. Anyone tried them?
Good to see Detroit finally getting some respect again, after years of people trashing it.
Probably because of the cam issues with the Ford 2.3, aka the Pinto engine. The oil qualification tests all required a wear validation test using...
Pretty much what I do. Cars are licensed in Mi, but one stays in Az. State Farm lets me put them on storage for six months, although the Credit...
I did some quick digging on the credentials of Lake Speed, who issued many of the videos on Tribology and oils being discussed. First off, his...
Several of the former Motor trend “personalities” have stated, on their own YouTube channels, that there was at least one, and probably a couple...
Should be the same cam the 428 Cobra Jet used. PM me if it’s still available. The 390 in my ot 67 Mustang has some sort of boy racer rumpety...
G for it. If you’re concerned, pull the rear end and front suspension before you invert the unibody. Might be a good time to refresh them anyway
Yup, resolved for now, but everything may change on April 2, per the story.
My USPS orders have been coming two days before the estimate, and they delivered the last two on Sunday!
I ended up with one from when I worked as a CoOp student at a brake manufacturing company in the Detroit area as a CoOp student. We needed parts...
This. I saw that same video. I would forget everything you thought was true about importing a car across the border, in either direction until...
SN 95 six cylinder Mustangs are everywhere and cheap here in Tucson. The LS fits, and the 8.8 will bolt in if it doesn’t already have one.
Ford used a higher rocker arm ratio than Chevy did, so, when designing to a given valve train hertz stress level, the Ford engines with the higher...
I’m the opposite. I quit watching Kindig years ago, as I have zero interest in high dollar cars built with somebody else’s money. Then again, I...
My 36 Ford coupe has what comes back as a 67 Mustang box, based on the Ford casting numbers. It’s someone’s unfinished project, so I can’t tell...
I was five. I had a tricycle, probably from Monkey Wards or Western Auto. Dad had a 53 Ford Customline flathead V8, grandpa p had a 53 Buick,...
It’s a common misconception that only part of the oil is filtered with a bypass filter. In reality, it all gets filtered,…eventually. The 235...
The motor home and heavy truck 413 heads are different from pass car heads in the water core porting.. Don’t know if that impacts the intake...
In that case, neither is a 350 Chevy, nor a SBC 383 stroker. Nor is. 302 Ford. A221 or 260, as well as a 289 is, though, if the cutoff is 1966.
After wanting one for years, and procrastinating about making one, I finally bought a ready made one. I realized that inertia and time wasn’t...
The Fox Mustangs have four lug axles, but the bolt pattern is different than, say, the early Falcon or Maverick four bolt axles and wheels.
Looks to me that it’s not going to clean up with a simple honing. plan on installing a sleeve on at least the cylinder shown.
Better than the last couple, but not good enough to renew when my subscription runs out. I think I’m finally getting used to life without magazines.
My wife and I were talking about this at the local cruise get together in Northwest Tucson last Thursday. The average age of the customers at the...
The early Falcon and Mustang six cylinder cars used a completely different axle assembly with a 7 1/4” (?) integral carriage not related to the...
I use State Farm in Michigan for my drivers and a couple of older “Collector Cars”. No issues, but no claims yet. My agent retired and the new...
That’s not correct, as Chrysler offered the rare and fragile Pont A Mousson four speed in the early sixties, before their in house NP four speed...
I’ve always, with a few exceptions, had to use a slide hammer or a spare tire with a chain passing through the wheel opening, some slack in the...
An oil filter wasn’t even standard equipment on the 265 sbc when it was first released in 1955, although it was an option.
