Just placed my order for two, hoping not too late Hi Jon, I haven't been on here in too long. Have had too much going on this past year and even had thoughts of selling my beloved GT/CS but for now I've wiped those thoughts from my head. It's been in mothballs until I can afford to finish an...

That is totally Rob!!! I bet you had a pretend blower on your Mustang pedal car when you was a wee lad LOL. Vroom vroooomm! Now will that be put on top of a 347 stroker by chance Neil? :grin: Oscar

HAHHAAAA I knew that would draw a remark or two. I was gonna say Summer but last time I checked it's still Spring. If I'd said Summer then you'd have come back with "summer???" so either way I'd get crap. Dunno where in Udaho you're at but Boise is forecast to get to around 80 in the coming...

Thanks for the gallery link Arlie! That is a beautiful CS Neil, now you'll have one w/o and one w/a vinyl top, nice addition! So, will Renee now be CS-less? Oscar

Very cool Neil! Congrats man! I'd love to have a nicely optioned CS like that one but my lil C-coded Diamond Blue aka Di is loved greatly nonetheless. AC would be awesome in the summertime but that is after the resto, I gots to gets done whats I already have the schtuffs for first :wink: Share...

Got mine a week ago Monday and although I've been quite busy w/schtuff I have been able to spend a few hours going through it and am very impressed at the amount of info, data and pictures that are crammed in there. Like Amy said, "... it will blow you away!" fo sho! Good to hear it is being...

:icon_ecst Finally got my, well, mine and dad's, books in yesterday's mail. I'm impressed and very happy w/the way they turned out. I've only had a little over an hour to check it out so will get into it more and more in the coming days but it was definately worth the wait for me. It's amazing...

+1 on what Tim said above. I experienced the same thing and turned out the original thermostat housing had seen better days. It had slowly corroded from the inside out to where cast iron in some small areas was pretty much replaced w/calcification. Gently poked around it and went thru in one...

You should see it real soon, don't worry. I, too, had to change my addy w/Paul last summer and was starting to get worried after being told they'd shipped and 6 days later nothing, even shipping within California. But when I remembered they were sent via USPS Media Mail I knew from past...

That is great info teamlo! I now remember the X code being a Cougar engine and until reading about Barillarospeed's car didn't know they tried using it in the Mustang too. It's amazing how many little twists, turns and tweaks there were across just the '68 Mustang model line alone. I'm sure most...

I'm curious now, w/the GT equipment package being an available option wouldn't that make a car w/it a GT car or just another car w/the optional GT package? For an X code (390-2v) w/the optional GT package see Barillarospeed's Marti for an example. I've always thought that a "true GT" came w/a 4v...

classicsguy, I meant to PM you so deleted the text here and will send PM in a minute. Thanks, Oscar

Thanks, guess I'll step back to the drawing board again so I can figure out the balance of the things I'll need to make it a complete rebuild. I have several machine shops, one very well recommended, local to me so will have to decide what I can clean and what to have tanked and whatnot. Then...

Hi all! I was in contact w/Paul recently re the upcoming event at GAS. Trying to see if I can at least make it to one CS gathering this year, it's about 30mi away so kinda local and no excuse not to make it. Anyhow in his reply he asked if I could post the following shipping update on the new...

Thanks guys, I knew I'd get some sound advise from you all. It has now been decided, new lifters it is. Going to go w/the same Comp Cams lifters to go w/the other Comp Cams parts I already have. Guess I have 16 cool looking little paperweights or I can put them up on fleabay for $20. My...
