Good afternoon, everyone. New guy here; I've run a small head shop in Eastern Kansas (Emporia.) for several years. I've recently acquired an '83 Mustang...
I checked my archives back to 2003 and don't find that this topic was discussed. Good question. ... __ Tom Stangler, Va Beach, VA Track Car: 300HP '86 5.0...
in fact I think I've forgotten why people use them to begin with? stratospheric revving' maybe? then again the modern revvy euro v8's seem to do ok with their...
Guys I decided to part ways with my 95GT that I was building to be an AI car. All parts are new and cost will be 25% less than new, some have been bolted on...
I don't know much about it but I thought gears were supposed to keep the timing dead nuts on even at say 8000 rpm? 8~) Steve Ealy SM-37,TTC-37 ... shop ... ...
I always thought they were to make a supercharger or racecar noise....:) What does NASCAR use? Those guys turn 9k rpm all day on some setups. Dave Whitworth ...
i always viewed gear drive like solid lifters...they're the bee's knees when they're new and set up correctly, but they require more frequent front cover...
Timing stability. But, they do take more HP to turn, and require more maintenance. Additionally, with these days of computers, you can probably manage the...

Good question - I thought the NASCAR builders all ran Gilmer belt set-ups these days, but I haven't been paying close attention lately... < What does NASCAR...
... The NASCAR teams were using the timing belts for a while. I am not sure what they are using now, but I can tell from the sounds of them that they are not...
I tried to email you but for some reason it didnt send. I may be interested in some of the suspension parts and wheels if you have any. You can email me back...
No matter how factual this is or is not, and no matter what side of the argument you happen to be on, this is not the place for this sort of material. Scott...
Hi, Could someone advise me as to whether late model Ford factory alloy 18" mustang wheels would fit on a 93 fox with 5 lug set up? I believe the late model...
[This is worth exactly what you paid for it] Do you have the stock axle length on your '93? That helps determine what backspacing will work. I'm a bit fuzzy...
its been a while, iirc, for 5-lug rear conversions your choices are (or were): stock width 5-lug drums stock width Baer disc kit turbo coupe rear disc...
I'm running late model Bullit (17")rims on my 93 Griggs K, Griggs control arms, Baer calipers, 13" rotors with stock k and or control arms you'll need spacers...
fwiw, I run 5.95"bs r58 17x9 cobraR's front and rear. with griggs arms and griggs k-member. and 275/40/17's all four, (yes, front, too). I offer this by way of...
You forgot the Lincon MkVII axle width in the rear which is 3" wider than the stock Fox rear. That plus T-bird control arms in the front with the strut mounts...
Easy answer - No. Long answer - the backspacing is too great. Either need to increase axle width or stack too many spacers (NOT SAFE OR REALLY EVEN AN OPTION) ...
Since I have a second Mustang (an 88) that has recieved all the hand me down parts from my 93 I am curious what would work. I have a few sets of 05 rims and...
Again...No There have been other messages with the specifics about the backspacing. The 88 and 93 are the same backspacing. 94-98 added 3/4" per side for the...
not shilling for ford...but maybe they put some serious thought into optimizing scrub radius, since they had a blank sheet to start from? i'm sure when they...
I have rummaged about in my shop and storage, and found a handful of factory rockers. I know I used to have a set of non-rail type rockers, but their...
...No... Now that I re-read your inquiry, I see you have a 1964 engine... They used non-rail rockers. Sorry for the confusion. Oh well; happy motoring anyway! ...
These posts have gotten me thinkin' about what exactly is on my car! I have the Mark VII brakes in the rear with the smaller offset Cobra R copy wheels. I run...
not if you use the wrong half. on rangers, iirc, one axle was longer than the other. you had to use two left axles to keep the stock fox rear track. ...
