One trick that might work for you. Remove the easy to install header and install the ringing with the hard one. You can even shorten the chain on one side of the hoist. Slips right in on most applications.
Yes. works for most cars, but not a chance on this one. I've tried any way you can think of over the past 30 years, and the only way I've ever been able to make it work on a Mustang II is from the bottom. Thanks for the suggestion though!
A Ford stroker 347 is going to be my next build for sure. The only thing holding me back is I got the itch to build an engine AFTER I sold the car (1993 Mustang LX). I REALLY want an old Ford Maverick to build like the 1972 Maverick Sprint I had in the mid '90s. I would also take another fox mustang but the insane prices they are asking these days is ridiculous. I never thought that car would be so desirable 30 years later!
I love the early 70s Mavericks! I'm with you, I never would have believed that they would ever go for the money they're bringing in these days. I hope you find one, a 347 stroker would be awesome in a Maverick. Thanks for watching!
My fuel injection system will use a Walbro pump. You've proably never heard of them, but they make the electric pumps that come in the majority of cars manufactured globally. Aftermarket pumps are nice, but none of them runs reliably for hundreds of thousands of miles like factory pumps do.
Buddy you have a nice piece going on there .. your motor sounds awesome … i cant wait to see what kind of fuel injection uour gonna use so im staying tuned … btw what are your intentions for the car ? Is it gonna be a race car or is it gonna just be a car you can just get out and drive and enjoy some extra horsepower ???
No racing planned, just a strong hot rod to have fun with. I had a '77 Mustang when I was younger, and it was fast but completely unrefined - no interior, no comforts, just straight utility. With this car I'm building the adult version. Still fast, but with A/C, fuel injection, and some creature comforts. Thanks for watching!
@@billsgarage i like that idea .. im 50 and i still have my 79 mustang coupe i used to dragrace back in the mid 90’s .. i have also aquired 2 foxbody lx hatch cars .. one was just a body so it got all the leftover hotrod parts that i took off my dragcar when i made upgrades to it .. the other lx car is a 87 thats factor other than lowering springs a fiberglass hood and a set of wheels .. it still has everything else it had when it rolled off the assembly line .. the 2 hatch cars are my drivers the coupe is my point a to point b quick fast and in a hurry car .. i live in a small town in east Tn so i can drive it around here no problem … i wont make any of my cars a prisoner to a race track i like to drive mine ..
Classic Auto Reproductions is a fantastic resource for Mustang II parts, and that's where I got my headers from. I believe they're out of stock right now, but call or send them an email and they'll let you know when they could get you a set. They have them in painted or ceramic finish: classicautoreproductions.com/collections/engine/products/1975-1978-mustang-ii-v8-exhaust-headers

Carter pumps are great. They have less vapor lock issues then other in line electric pumps.
