Hey everyone I am looking to swap my drum brakes for disc brakes in my 68 mustang coupe , I am going to v8 swap it soon and I am wondering what the best kit to buy is.

Hello everyone! I recently acquired a 68 mustang with an inline 6 and 3 speed manual and I’m highly interested in swapping a 302 or 331 stroker build into it and I’m just wondering if it’s worth it , how much money I’m looking at , and what’s needed. I also plan on doing the work myself.

Hey everyone,

Looking for some advice on two separate items for my 1969 Mustang:

1. Headlight Removal Issues (High/Low Beams)I am trying to remove the headlights but I am completely stuck. I cannot figure out how to access the two screws to remove the outer bezel/trim ring around the headlight, nor the ring holding the bulb into the bucket. Is the inner retaining ring a keyhole design? If I can slide a skinny screwdriver past the trim ring, can I just loosen those screws slightly and twist the ring to pop it out? Or do I absolutely have to remove the outer headlight bezel first to get the bulb out? Any tips on accessing those hidden screws without scratching the paint would be huge. I do not have a lift, so this will be done laying under the car on the garage floor, if underneath access required.

1. Borgeson Power Steering Conversion Kit Experiences: I am planning a steering upgrade down the road. Right now, I have the factory Bendix power steering setup, but I hate the vague, loose feel and the constant steering wheel play. Has anyone here done the Borgeson power steering box conversion? I want to know real-world feedback: Does it actually give you a tighter, more modern steering feel? How was the installation process (especially clearance with exhaust/headers)?Is it worth the money compared to rebuilding the factory control valve and ram?

For context, almost all of my other steering and suspension components have already been upgraded or replaced, so this gearbox setup is the very last 'old part' left to tackle. Hoping to resolve the roughly 2 inches of play in the wheel, make the wife feel safer driving it.

Searched for reviews, but nothing very recent, so asking again. :-)

Thanks in advance for any help or insight!

This subreddit is 75% bots posting pics of other people’s cars. The other 25% of posts don’t get the attention that is deserved because I have to sort through all the fake posts. I give up. I’ll go play with my car and try this subreddit again later with the hopes that the moderators take charge and fix it.

I’m currently going through it with vapor locking during this hot summer. I’ve got a full tank of e10 and figure I’ll try e0 before I start tearing my fuel delivery system apart but I’m kind of curious how much of a difference will it really make?

My 66 currently vapor locks after ~10 miles of driving.

Mild cam, headers, C4 w/overdrive. 600 or 650 cfm? Thoughts please.
