I live in the Richmond, VA area and may be able to find some help around here. Do you know of a Mustang club in No. VA or DC? That is usually a good...
Looking at a 67 coupe with a 6cyl (they are asking $5999+tax) was wondering if it was price effective to do a v8(289) swap. Or would it be better to get...
I would have to say no. Don't buy it unless you want a six. If you want a v8, then buy one to start with. Mike ... wondering if it was price ... another...
I would have to agree with Mike. I have a 68 Coupe with a 6 cyl. I bought it from a guy who is a mechanic and did not want to go through all that you have to...
I agree with the others if you want a V8 buy a V8 car, it will be less hassle and $ in the long run. There are many v8 coupes out there. ... -- Chris Russell ...
... And I'll take the other side. My reference is a convertible I ordered in late 64. Money was tight in general, it was to be my wife's car, she had a thing...
I'd say it depends on the overall quality of the car. If it needs a full restoration, start with a v8. If it just needs more power, you might be able to...
My Daddy is a mechanic and he swapped a 65 6 cyl over to a 289 and from manual to auto transmission. It does take some hard work which my Daddy has never been...
... Why stop there, the 351W is certainly less worthy of spending energy on improving than a 390... nah make that a 400m Wait never mind make that a 427 CJ......
Park far away & keep evenly between the stripes-even though many people cannot. So you may have to walk a distance. I wouldn't recommend taking up more than...
... My comments had nothing to do with displacement, just general improvement. The 289 was OK in 65. Today there are better starting points. And I assumed...
I have a 68' and i am converting the interior to black from aqua. I have already bought everything i need for the job except paint. I am not sure if I should...
Oh god, I have a horror story about door dings. I left work very sick one day. I just wanted to sleep so bad it was terrible. (Had bronchitis). I took a...
The only answer I have found so far to combat this problem is the addition of body side moldings applied at the belt line. I installed a white molding many ...
... The interior is small pieces. They are much easier to paint than the body. You should be able to remove everything you want to paint. I assume you are...

Just a reminder- Do Not sand the door or back panels as you will/could sand the texture off. A previous owner may have already done so. Use steel wool,...

Hello Everyone, I recently acquired a 1967 mustang with a 289 and an Autolite 2V carb. The engine and carb are both rebuilt and it runs fine. I checked the ...
I dunno, I think a decently built 200 with a Pinto Holley/Weber carb would be bitchin'. Slap a cherry bomb on it in place of the transverse stock muffler and...
