Mustang Tech

I have 302 cc heads on my cleveland. Mine were 58cc after a skim to true up the surface.

I’ve seen Pinto Pete’s lovely avatars, my avatar is actually my lovely wife! I’m very proud of her, in the past 5 years she’s given birth to 3 kids, put up with me and lose 30kgs.

Hi Guys! Back for the yearly update. 3 toddlers are certainly keeping me occupied and away from the Mustang!! About all I've done in the last 12 months is look at the coupe once in a while and buy some more parts. I've got most of the gear together to put a borgeson power steering box in and I'm loo...

Talk to your engineer first. Whoever is signing off on your car will have to be happy with how you fit the seats. I assume you have had someone go over the changes to the car by now, as they usually want to inspect the welds etc before paint. The 69 - 70 fastback risers will still be too high. 69 -...

I had good experiences with LSV but Shannons upped the value by $5k and were half the price. I'll look at them again once it's time to renew though.

Seems a sideways glance is all it takes! Lol. 3 kids under 4 is going to be a handful.
Ausjacko, I must've got lucky I got mine through Jegs on eBay and was here in a week. Their freight was cheaper than Summit and the quoted figure for taxes and import duty was lower too.

Keep pumping out those kids. When you get to your 3rd (like I recently aquired), all of a sudden the Mustang becomes Daddy's toy. Welcome to the Forum of awesomeness Shaun I haven't updated this thread for a while as I've hardly touched the coupe in the last 8 months or so. Donoauto must have been ...

I'll be buying in the next week or two but fitting it might be a while off, maybe a year or so. I'm looking at using the ba fuel pump module in a 69 tank for the fuel system. I'd like to see whether the dollar goes up a bit more. Just the small rise in the last week or two has saved $70-80 on the sy...

It has been a revolution in this area, with the design and functionality of these electronic carburetors. The price is the same as a good carbi for the base unit so pump, minimal wiring and fuel lines, and exhaust bung welded is all that is needed. I sure see the appeal. It cannot be made any simpl...

I've heard good things about the FItech system on some US forums. I'll be getting the 400hp version which is only $795US from Summit. Sydney Speed Supplies (Procomp) are the local distributors but they want $2000 plus postage.

Hi Greg, just check that it actually is the main seal leaking. I've owned a few clevelands over the years and had the rear seal on the intake manifold leak down the back of the block. Also had the oil pressure sender spring a leak once as well. Its located at the back of the block. If you're lucky i...

Thanks for the advice. The actual shell doesn't seem too bad, there's bog in both quarters where they've filled dents that'll take a bit of beating to sort out. The holes for the vinyl roof mouldings were just taped and bogged too. It looks like a backyard job a teenager would do on his first car.

Thanks Shaun. I'm actually closer to the Hillcrest store. I knock off work at lunchtime Friday's, So it may be a quick drive down to get some paint one Friday arvo. I saw they had epoxy primer and hi build in the genroc paint brand as well. Any opinion on those?
Thanks Shaun

I'll look into those brands mentioned and see if I can get any of them locally. Colourfast at Hillcrest is just up from the road from my sister. I've been to 2 paint shops up here and both mixed brands between paint layers. They seem to want to sell you what they have on the shelf. I got a blank loo...

Thanks for the advice, guys.
Ozbilt- if I use intergard should I stay with Asko-Nobel products for the primer/filler and topcoats? I found on the web Sikkens and Dulux are part of the Asko-Nobel group. Or can I use intergard then use debeer etc for the rest?
