    Hi All, first post here. Call me stupid but I drove my newly acquired 65 Coupe with a 3-speed green dot C4 on 289 for roughly 1,000 miles...guess what? on little dot 2-3 only. Unfortunately, my driveway is steep and I live on top of a hill..... so, my C4 is slipping, not engaging well, etc. I...

    Recently bought a 1965 Mustang with a 351w swapped into it. Previous owner said it was “recently rebuilt by ford performance”. I found it has a head gasket leak, pulled the engine and when taking the valve covers off I found this on two of the lifters. Should I just clean it up and keep going...

    Hey everyone, I am back and I was reading up again as I have finally gotten more time and money. This time I was thinking if I can convert my 289 to a 302. I was reading that a cam, pistons, and heads would do it but I am not sure as I still feel new to everything. I have a path in mind for my...

    I have been spending the last couple months researching up on what engine I should consider swapping into my 6 cylinder 64.5 mustang and have decided to swap in either a 347, 363, or a rebuilt 289 I have and supercharging it. My goal is to get 400rwhp and I know a lot will be swapped, but...

    I have a 65 with a door tag that says "H" for the color code. However, the car is definitely not Caspian Blue. It looks more like Twilight Turquoise, which from what I can find, was not a stock color from 65. Can someone confirm if this is Twilight or just really faded Caspian? Incidentally...

    I live in Colorado. I recently inherited my mother's 1965 Mustang Coupe, 200ci, 3spd manual. She bought it in February 2020 and drove it once and the clutch blew up. She never had a chance to drive it again. She had the car gone over and a bunch of stuff fixed but passed shortly after getting it...

    Hello All, I have a deluxe steering wheel that I am refurbishing. My current plan is to sandblast the spokes and re-chrome it. The wood-grain wheel itself has been removed and will be replaced later. My question is can anyone recommend a product that I can use to re-chrome the spokes?

    I bought a 1965 coupe with 200ci 3.3L 6 cylinder a couple of months ago, and it was running great. I washed it and got water in the gas, and treated it. and it has had trouble getting started since. I changed the plugs, and put new gas in the hoses, but the only way it will start is if I prime...
