I have a 66 289 and was curious what can I reliability and safely extract from it. That I am aware of it is a stock block, but I have heard things like Mexican blocks so I am not too sure about all that. I prefer to stick with it because it is already rebuilt and I feel it might be cheaper than...

Hello everyone, my name's Will and I'd love any help you guys have. I've just put wilwoods on my little straight six (it's nice to be able to stop!) but when the wheels are fully turned they scrape the rotors. I filed a few mill off in an attempt to fix that, but the rub is still there. I'm...

Hello. I pulled the engine out of my 66 (converting to v8 from straight 6) and saw much more frame rust than expected. The passenger side doesn’t look too bad, but the drivers side inner rail is pretty much gone from the firewall to the rad support. To replace the frame rail, what will I need to...

So none of my gauges work in my 66 mustang. The speedometer works fine but the other gauges don't, I just replaced the sending unit to see if that happened to fix the gas gauge but nope. I read a thing about the constant voltage regulator but could it be something else like a fuse? Im a little...
