    Carbuerator

    One thing that we both forgot, exchaust! It really does not matter what you do to make the car fast if you can not get the air out of the motor you have wasted your time.

    Carbuerator

    68Sunlitgold is correct, a cam is the fastest way to add HP to the car. I do not know what you are willing to invest but there are several ways to add ponies to the car. Porting your heads will give you the biggest bang after the cam and carb. Look into an upgraded ignition system, there are...

    1968 High Country Special For Sale

    A Marti report is the most recognized way to verify authenticity of the vehicle, in this case your HCS Mustang. For selling a vehicle it is $17.00 well spent. http://www.martiauto.com/

    Blowers

    You got me there, kinda. The version that you are referring to is basically a Roots SC with angles built into the gears that force the air to the rear of the blower to give you a little (alot actually) better performance and higher boost for the same gear ratio.

    Blowers

    The two basic types of Superchargers they are either Centrifugal or Roots based, I believe that the one you are referring to is a Centrifugal type of blower. This type is an easy install and looks like a Turbo. These can mount in a varity of locations low and out of the way. I would suggest...

    Blowers

    Just about any car can take some sort of blower a.k.a. Supercharger, with only fuel mixture and slight timming adjustments. You need to maintain a lower boost on a stock motor to prevent over stressing the stock componants such as rods, pistons and crank. If you keep the boost modest you should...

    Blowers

    Brandon: There are several ways to answer that question, but, in short a blower is used to raise compression and increase airflow into the combustion chamber. With the blower that I believe you are referring to there are two aluminium "gears" that look similar to that curly mac-n-cheese. They...

    Even though I am new to the GT/CS world, I have doubts about this one. 2436609693. If it is a CAL-SPEC there has been a front-end collision or?? No hood locks, no lights, wrong grill. I am sure that this forum can add more information

    project car for sale

    Well I guess I started a thread war.. Not the intention, to be sure. I just thought that I would throw in a comment or two. 1) I do think that the current owner should have mentioned the water issue. 2) The water damage will be minor if the interior was removed promptly and the car was carefully...
