Darrin: Keep in mind that whatever wheel you go for, if its a pin drive, will need an adapter that will add about 3/8" to your track dimension...something to check on when ordering. Just my 2c Phil

Kris: The 930 box has a starter mount on the front bell, starter gear faces forward with the body of the motor next to the gearbox. If you can get a flywheel that bolts to the Ferrari and mounts the Porsche clutch you should be in business. Otherwise check out Corvette drivetrain, they...

Dave: Looks like you have the radiator about right....mine clears with just a 1/2" or so at the top and I believe some of the builds have a foam or some type of weatherstrip up top to stop or at least restrict air flow..lookin good. Although we have different chassis I believe the mounting...

Welcome John: Where in North Jersey are you? I am near Clinton...It sounds like we arent far apart. Phil

Dave: Looking good, I am in the process now of doing headers and as you mentioned space is at a premium. I made a small aluminum perimeter frame that fits inside the rear body work where I thought space was tight. It clamps up to the chassis and I stay within those limits trying to also...

Bill: Good to hear you made the purchase...for a minute there I thought you bought a mower! Just kidding...ask away lots of resources here as you know. Cheers Phil

Darrin: Dsindustries.us has the insulation DS Industries Supplies If you can't get the small quantity you need PM me and we will do something Cheers Phil

Darrin: I use a ceramic insulation for those tight areas....1" thick is enough to protect against a direct oxy/acetylene flame..good stuff. I am not at the shop now but I will post up the name shortly, and if you need some pieces I have some now I could send you. We tear it in 1/2 to fit...

Renato: Going a bit on what others have said here, I usually set shocks at 60% compression with 40% droop. All this depends of course on shock length, travel and location of the mounts. As Jim mentioned motion ratio will come into play so you will need to check that ...there are some...

Mike: Please Post your results when you get everything sorted. I would love to see it. Thanks Phil

Mike: Went looking in my files after posting: Bearing: CR-115A (Ford #M-1215-A) Snap Ring: Ford # N=803955-S Hub: Ford # M-1109-A The hub number is the Ford Motorsports number, The aluminum upright on the Mustang is M-5970-A if you need that. Off to work...

Mike: Good info on the driveshaft shop...I never did anything with them but all the mustang guys seem to use them for some reason. On the subject of the bearing, it presses into the upright and there is a nasty snap ring behind it, it is commonly available at any bearing supply or auto...

Darrin: Check out some of the dirt/modified guys...I buy a lot from Coleman for one Home Page They will do a custom for you, and as Dimi said all kinds of attachment arms and hardware. Cheers Phil

Mike: I am using a Ford hub from the Mustang Cobra, 28 spline, but I don't know the diameter or length dimension...some internet searching would probably do it. Ford also sells the hubs in their motorsports catalog with a 5 on 4.5" bc along with the bearings and other stuff...but we always...

Dave: Keep pluggin away, you are gonna catch me soon...I haven't had any time for the car in a couple of months. If you have any trouble with that sender let me know, I have an awesome source for them. Cheers Phil

Darrin: 500 is not an unreasonable number for a 302, and I have a friend that just did his 65 mustang over to a 331 stroker and it is well over 400hp without getting really crazy, and I know he could get more but he also wanted a reasonably tame driver. Sounds like that gearbox will handle...

Darrin..Looking good...progress for sure. do you have the motor and gearbox ready? That will be a big step forward when it goes in. For what its worth do yourself a favor and get rid of that 110 v work light, I have seen too many fires with those if dropped. Some of the new LED worklights...

re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars James: Very nice job as usual, do I see a 3.20 final drive on that gearbox ?, in 5th thats gotta put you at around 2.4 final drive ....that car will have some long legs. Cheers Phil

Martin: Nicely done is all I can say and following your build was and is a pleasure. I can tell you I am not a fan of most of the red colors but that paint you picked out is perfect...great looking car. Now as was said before lets see some more photos. Cheers Phil

Richard, I would think the thread would be right hand, what are you using to turn the pins?...usually they are either allen heads or hex at the end. There is a tool that looks like a drill chuck that fits over a stud, and tightens as you try to loosen the stud. I would also bet that there...
