    Hey how’s it going, I recently bought a 1967 Fastback GT S-Code and have been driving it around for a couple weeks with no issues. However just a couple days ago I was cruising at around 75mph and was cutoff by someone and I braked hard and hit what I assume to be was a pothole. About 5-10...

    I was able to snag a pretty good picture of the engines casting numbers while i was underneath the car this morning. EOAF-D3C-20. I cannot seem to understand how to decode this. and cannot find much about this number when I search it. does anyone in this group know how to do it?

    Is there a point where an engine is beyond restoration and would need a new crate engine? Or would it become a parts car. Feeling a little overwhelmed.

    Hi. I'm currently rebuilding a '66 motor and wondering which cam thrust plate to use. It had the early type on it. I've had a search and seen lots of information on the differences between early and later and when they changed etc. But is it actually worth changing to the later type with the...

    Have a question for you all. Just got my 65 mustang back from my mechanic who did a few things for me (new carb, power brake booster, new radiator, new belts and plugs) When I got the car home I did a quick lap around the block to test the new brakes out. I slammed on the brakes a few times...

    Hi all, I'm in the process of restoring a 65 coupe and I want to swap out the existing older 302 that it has. I plan on keeping the current C4 transmission and stock rear axle it has (at least for now). I want to make this car a daily driver with a good mix of street and highway driving, and...

    First, this is the first time I have restored a vehicle, so go easy on me if I'm asking a stupid questions. Second, here's my question. I have a 66 mustang coupe that I am restoring. I am ordering a new engine and have two options: 1. Ford Performance 7.3L V8 Crate Engine 430HP for $8,500...

    I’ve got a 65 coupe with the 2bbl 289, manual. when I try to start it, the starter struggles to turn the motor and ultimately it won’t start. Battery tests at 12.6, I just replaced the battery cables and local auto part store tested the starter and says it’s in working order. Starter...

    I have a 1968 Fastback Mustang. I have a 1965 289 motor. After installation, the oil pan sits on the cross-member and while trying to install a starter the steering linkage is in the way by about 1/4-1/2 inch. I have read that there is a different motor mount pre-66. Can you tell me what is...

    This is mainly to address my last couple post. I am grateful for all of the advice and I am aware that this will be expensive. I also have a need to fix this car at any expense. I bought it. Put 4 dollars into it. Got 120 dollars worth of stuff today. I take an auto class and I have really...

    Hey guys and girls, I'm sorry for asking a question that's most likely been asked before, but I was hoping to get some opinions on engine options. I currently have a 289 in my 68 convertible (302 block as it was late year production). It's been running great, but like most, I am hoping to get...

    Had my 351 block worked on at a shop last September and this past weekend I took it out of my storage unit and found rust in some spots. No signs of water getting into the unit. I had put a ton of ATF over everything so this was a surprise. I recommend any one else in the north east to grease...

    Hello Everyone! I would like to ask for you help as I am quite confused. I bougth a fastback and I would like to find a "date correct" 289 engine.

    I have an opertuninty to purchase a 67 coupe that needs the standard floorpan work but the car doesn't have an engine or trans. I'm probably going to pull the trigger and work on it but I've never done an engine install and don't know where to begin looking and get started finding something...
