I'm starting to gather suff to install when I hopefully yank out my engine next week. My shock towers aren't cracked but should i get the open tracker plates anyway to handle my 408w? I need to reinforce the torque boxes too right? I'd love to just make my own reinforcement plates instead of spending 200 on some cut out metal plates if possible but I have no idea on the sizes. I have a hobart 140 mig welder, 175cf 75/25 gas bottle and a couple 10lbs spools of small and med. wire What would you guys recommend I do to have my mustang strong enough to handle the power?

I really need to start checking this thread more often :D

I tried that. The grommet goes on easy but its super hard to push in the breather. I also tried to install the grommet on the breather then putting them in together but that looks impossible. I just want to know if these breathers would be my best choice for my engine because if I get them in, they aren't going to come out without damaging something......

I bought some valve covers with push in breather caps but they are super hard to push in. Yes I spit on it...... ha ha ha j/k I tried looking for tips online then I started to see discussions on using breather caps or pcv valves. I don't want a oily film on my engine from the breather caps but if they work better than pcv valves then ill just clean the engine bay once in a while. What do you guys recommend for a high 500hp street car? My engine is a carbed 408w.

whats up guys, I kept these things because I thought I might use them but I'm not. I like having them but I know someone could actually use them The distributor is from a running engine $100 So is the fan $80 I have the pulleys from that engine $100 I was going to use the intake but I bought a air gap intake instead $150 351w valve covers $40 I don't know what to price the distributor, fan and pulleys at so I just put a price. Shipping extra Send me your best offer guys and please be fair

Oh crap sorry, I haven't checked this until today. Yeah I was around ha ha ha

Yup. Not as easy as the bolts by themselves but they go down

A couple guys on the corral site told me it will be fine. :)

hey guys What would a normal gap be? No gap? I put my edelbrock airgap intake on and I have a 1/4" gap on the middle of the intake and oil galley with the manifold gasket on but the intake isn't torqued down. I thought I remembered seeing that sometimes the intake won't fit and has to be milled down. I just can't find that info I have a 69 351w block, afr #1458 205 heads and a 7581 air gap intake

With similar specs as the griffin? I ask because I'm also in need of a radiator for my 408w.

wow thats a lot of stuff! The cobra brakes not working good enough? I think thats the front set up i have waiting to be installed..... i still want to find a set of disc brakes for the rear.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing I'll have to look into CVF

Looking forward to doing this.

Bob? Ha ha ha how's it going?! I've been busy with my kids, wife projects and laziness on days off and of course my other cars. I'm finishing a current home project for my wife and I'm yanking my longblock out to finally finish it. Next on my list is to pull the I6 from my mustang. I really need to make some serious progress because its been way too long. From what you say i now see a serpentine belt is mandatory for my build. How's your mustang doing?

Thanks for sharing Mike! I need to look into the 3g alt now.

I'm really liking the cheaper simpler one. Thank you for showing me this. I wonder if it will work with the contour fans....

Yes I want to use the Ford contour fan set up so I will be using a high output alt. I didn't even think if the higher output alt will need a serpentine for extra grip on the belt/pulley. I also plan to use electric power steering and I already have the controller for it. No air conditioning for me. I dont want to clutter up the engine bay too much and i hardly use it now on my daily drivers. I forgot, I also have a fuelab electric fuel pump! Wow I really need a high output alt.

I need to lay out my parts to see where I left off but im in the middle of a wifey project and im making time for this.

if i only want to run the water pump and alternator do you guys think a serpentine belt system would be better than a separate belt system? I need to find a bracket for the alternator too. This is for a 408w

Still have this? Very interested

It couldn't have been one of the less expensive ones huh buckeye..... j/k Thank you for sharing that :)

Thank you. I might just go with this balancer and flexplate. I couldnt find a ATI balancer that worked with my set up. Internal balanced 2o'clock timing pointer

To me it's sad because the boy painted his wheelchair the same colors and named it mach2 :( He really loved that mach1
