The 4180 was stock on 83-85 302 Mustangs. It's a great carb for a 302.
Ford had some different transmissions in the 60s. Mom's 67 Galaxie has a "medium duty cast iron" transmission behind the 390. That is how you have...
Welcome. I'm from that little town.
My grandpa bought a 31 Model A Tudor in 1937, traded his Model T for it. Drove it until 1959, my mom owns it now. His first new vehicle was a 1950...
Evaporust?
Fairmont spindles as mentioned above won't work, they only have a bottom ball joint as Fairmonts have struts.
95 was the last year of the T5 if anyone needs a later transmission.
But but that was down hill, with a tailwind and the car in neutral!
I rolled a flathead out of the woods it sat in for over 20 years with no intake on it. The head bolts looked like cauliflowers and the sump was...
Don't listen to your doctor if he gives you a prognosis. I just got back from mine for my third treatment. He refuses to give a prognosis because...
Cancer is not a death sentence. I was diagnosed with stage IV stomach cancer in December. Getting ready for chemo round #3. We'll both beat it,...
A 2003 Crown Vic won't have a 302 in it, all the ones people use for suspension swaps have modular 4.6 engines.
I had $1800 in mine, all machine work with eight sleeves, but that was in 2000 or so. Only crack free block I could find before the internet.
I know the owner of a 66 Fairlane rusted in the same place. His car has gotten to the point it's literally breaking in half.
Up to and including 79 actually. I know someone who bolted a 78 rear axle in his 50.
Yes they were. My grandpa had one in the 50s when he was a TV repairman. I'm really starting to like this model of Fords, especially the...
Black in 48, body color in 49 & 50.
Are Explorer heads not allowed? Those would be the ticket.
Right beside the IPhone jack.
Or put the body on Craigslist as a 5.0 swap project and get triple scrap for it. 2.3s respond well to lots of gear too. People get too hung up on...
2.3s can be built to run good without boost. If you have to have an auto, the A4LD is a good alternative so long as you upgrade the internals with...
Another forum I belong to has a 100 post minimum or you can buy a 30 day pass. Works great at keeping the trash out.
Sunbeam had a great idea. A 390 FE would be cheap and have all the grunt to move that Mercury.
When I married my wife, she called the DMV before going in to change her name. She asked what they needed, they said a copy of the marriage...
We have a 30 Fordor that was done to at least before the early 50s. Same style screws but it is two pieces of steel with a screwed splice down the...
A company called Model Car World sells factory colors for models.
This car looks better than the other one in the picture. That goofy chrome strip above the bumper on the red one doesn't do it any favors.
Another site I visit does that and it works great.
I noticed that too, but the truck is even pre F-1. Weird. I think it has a complete 53 bed too.
It's your car, swap the engine if you want to. Although I'm not the best person to give that opinion as I hate seeing Chevies in Fords.
Separate names with a comma.
