One thing I’ve found after installing a basic 5-point bar is welding the rear bars to the main hoop. If you’ve tried to get a nice tight fit...
Kingman to Seligman. Drove on that section last November. Little chilly but still a nice drive.
Sometimes you can double up on the gaskets for clearance or buy 1/2” spacers and use the Power by Ford covers.
Both are correct. If you have a J-code 302 Mustang it was 225 hp and if you had a 302 in a 1968 Shelby GT-350 it was rated at 250 hp. Holley carb...
It would be an interesting test to setup the car using a vacuum gauge for best idle and so on, then hookup a wideband to see how they compare…..or...
1957 Meteor Rideau. This is a nice tri-colour combo. [img]
If building a driver and plan on a few thousand miles a year I would steer away from the 4.500 stroke 460’s. Unless you get the correct rods and...
And certainly not with 4 gauge starter cable.
521 cid 12:5 cr, locked timing, I wouldn’t recommend that for a front mount battery.
Saw a Prairie Bronze 65 Coupe like that at a car show a couple weeks ago. They don’t get anymore bare bones than that and probably less than $2000...
Some folks are pretty desperate to be cool. I just don’t get it.
I have the AEM gauge and mine came with the Bosch sensor, been very reliable for the last 7 years and I even run slight mix of leaded fuel. I only...

The downside is if you have an open chicken run. Them and Coyotes.
There are plenty of S/SS cars running in the 10’s without them and some are getting 3 feet or more air. I don’t think there even legal in stock...
Not a 300 but my old 1966 170 six had a fibre spacer. As for the hole, is it threaded? Could be a vacuum accessory for brakes, modulator, Pcv ?
To complete the look a parachute is also a must have for a street car.
AI just never gets it quite right, does it?
Not sure if they used salt on the roads back then, but if they did it would for sure be worth it.
On a happier note he did win the manufacturers funny car meet at OCIR in 1969. I always thought he had the coolest name in drag racing. Gas...

You could go with a Pertronix conversion with an updated coil. Should deliver all the spark the 289 would need. Nice Ranchero you got there!
Is just had my first test using a 16” Flex-A-lite, Flex Wave puller fan. 3000 cfm, they claim. Bracket racing on the weekend I could keep the temp...
Exactly….zzzzzzzzzzzz
It maybe true, but it just turns into blah…not at all interesting. If it makes the car move forward and backwards then it’s good choice for the sheep.
My MSD with the two lightest springs will flutter back and forth, really messing up the timing. Maybe be a vacuum thing? Try plugging it off then...
The swap is pure hot rodding. Bang for the buck is what it’s all about and the Barra is a viable choice. Trouble is the power glide and 10 bolt...
Since you’re from Australia I’d be looking at a Ford I6 4.0L Barra. I have no experience with them but from what hear they can take insane amounts...
