is there anyone in this club. no messages in post.so i will srart one lets see if we can get something going.i have a 84 mustang, wont to change the front wheels to five lug what do i need to do this.thanks

You can do it two ways the easy way is to buy ranger rotors and change the inner bearing they slip right on and are the correct bolt pattern. You can also do the SN95 stuff and I can give you some contacts on that stuff used, the other way to get bigger brakes and 5 lug is to get 87-93 spindels struts and calipers, and 1986 SVO rotors. e-mail me if you have any questions: Mike Special Projects Cal-mustang mikes@...

A 89-93 5.0 with a t5 will do the job and will require no building just some mods.

I have a 351 windsor in my 67 coupe, the only real differnce between the 302 and 351 is the deck height. The bellhousing bolt pattern and engine mounts are the same. It's a tigh fit with headers, but you still have more room than the 390. The 351 cleveland should fit in there too, I have heard some say it will and some it won't, but I havent seen any yet. You could stroke your 302 to a 357.

A 351+ with good heads and proper choice of parts will give your brothers 390 a run for its money. Keep in mind that, ultimately, cubic inches rule on the street. You should also never underestimate the potential of an FE motor. A purpose built 390 with all the right toys will make an extraordinary amount of HP and turn alot of RPM. If your brother's 390 is really well built it'll be a tough one to catch. If its just a warmed over stocker with untouched GT heads then should be able to keep up with him. If you can afford a stroker kit and good heads you'll be well on your way to a fast small block motor.<br><br> You should take advantage of modern technology and get better heads, a modern roller cam/conversion and use a stroker kit to increase displacement.<br><br> Go on-line to Summit Racing (and others) and to some of the 5.0 web pages and start looking at aftermarket heads and stroker kits to get an idea on what its all going to cost. Its not a matter of what its going to cost, but how fast can you afford to go?<br><br> TFS, World Products, DART and even Ford offer high quality heads that are leaps and bounds ahead of the fish weights you've got on the stock 289 motor now. Don't waste your time considering porting the heads you have, the money is better spent on new heads. A modern roller cam needs to be used to take advantage of the air flow the new heads will supply. Keep the compression between 9.5:1 and 10.0:1. Use a good dual plane intake and a 750 vacuum secondary carb or EFI if money is no object.<br><br> Do not skimp on machine work. I see people spend thousands on great parts only to have a hack of a machinist or engine assembler ruin it all. Go to the local drags, cruise-in's and other places in your area and talk to the folks that consistently run hard. Find out who's been doing their machine work and building their motors. Ask about the quality of work and how the motor runs. Ask lots of questions and get lots of opinions and input before you start having anybody start the machine work. <br><br> If you write me directly at keller428@... I'd be happy to guide you through a typical performance build up. <br><br> -Mike.
