Another Project

[vrt03cobra]

Picked up another Mustang :smile: . I got the car for cheap only reason I picked it up. Already has a bunch of bolt on’s so I’m going to be putting it together and having a little bit of fun with it. Previous owner did all the bolt on’s H/C/I after a while motor developed a miss, took it apart short block was toast. Instead of fixing the car it was sold off to my friend… he never finished now I have it :smile: Going to throw a stock short block in and call it a day.

Here's an update of what's going on. I had a 302 shortblock sitting around so I'm swapping everything over to that Shortblock. The previous shortblock was done/toasted. Painted the Valve covers black, installed the E-cam into the new shortblock. I sat one of the heads on the shortblock just for mock up. I'll have some more progress later ...

Good luck with that MSD distributor. Most end up being a POS that can't hold timing. Ask me how I know.

[t76mach]

Im not to fond of the msd dis either, I used one on the stroker motor I built for the 69, first one was doa second failed a month later.

Really? I've only used one and that's on my 66 mustang. Been on there for 10 years and still works to this day. This one the car already had so I hope it's in working condition..

[RedRyder]

I believe the issues are only with the efi distributor. The carb application ones are pretty rock solid from what I've been told, so I bought one for my setup. It really is hard to beat oem for an efi distributor. Make sure you have a stock one handy incase you notice the motor running weird. My issues were solved by going back to stock. Maybe you'll have better luck. :cheers:

[lsxfox]

My issues were solved by going with a chevy motor. Maybe you'll have better luck. :cheers:

wow

[RedRyder]

:yawn: You're trying too hard.

[MR.KNOCKOUT]

I thought you were parting out the car?

[vrt03cobra]

I thought you were parting out the car?

Changed my mind lol

[superslothguy]

Atleast it had the right amount of valves

[MR.KNOCKOUT]

Changed my mind lol

lol

[RedRyder]

I just noticed the coupler for the upper chrome radiator tube. I had one too but switched back to stock after burning myself one too many times. That shit soaks up heat and gets HOT. :sad:

Chet I just thought about that.... and you're right.

[vrt03cobra]

Not much to report back. With work and moving haven't had time for anything, I threw ProStars on the car looks better in my opinion.

Im in north side of Pomona....north of the 10 @ garey ave. I'll let you know man. Shouldn't be too much longer. Stuff is coming together. :nod:

[96GTS]

Wow! Much nicer! Too bad the top isn't black, but it still looks aiiight :D

[5litrarag]

yeah its a black top and rollbar away from looking badass.... Freshen up the black on those mirrors, cowl panel, wipers and top well trim too. Makes a huge difference. I did mine a few months ago with that Duplicolor trim paint... came out perfect.

damn good job! looks real good

[5litrarag]

damn good job! looks real good

Thanks... it'll probably look even better if it ever gets on a completed car.

hahaha


Seriously though I know almost nothing about paint and all I did to those was wash, dry, toss some wax/grease remover, tack cloth and then two coats of trim paint. I was like DAMN, WHO DID THESE??! :laugh:

As for the top it has a tear in it so if I end getting around to changing the top black for sure.
