We had kids and grandkids at the Glenrose Saturday bash. It was a great time..!

Hey forum people...!

After the 1500 mile drive for the MustangSteve Bash this year, we decided to do a 302 roller engine swap into our 66 coupe. I’ve pretty much collected everything that I need except for the pressure plate and
10 1/2 inch clutch combination (we’re running a T5).    We’re also swapping to the MustangSteve cable clutch & power brake set up.

For those of you who have done this swap, do you have a clutch and pressure plate recommendation?
We’re looking at about 300 hp.

Drive it like you stole it.....

I'm ready for the drive'n out and back plans..!!  Isn't there a large ball of twine that we can visit..!?!  It's Florida, so maybe a Crockelgator farm..?!?

Comon October..!

I'm pretty sure it's a wide ratio.  I will double check the tag though

Do you have a carb spacer/insulator?  After shutdown, the fuel will tend to evaporate/percolate more quickly if the carb is sitting directly on the manifold. A 1" spacer works well if 1) it is a type that fully seals top and bottom.  I had one that was open on the bottom and it didn't seal on the manifold with the correct gasket; 2) you use the correct longer studs; and 3) you have room to close the hood.

This is GREAT advice.  I installed the Edelbrock Intake/Carb setup on my 65 289 and had the exact problem where the gas would percolate into the engine.  I called Edelbrock to ask why their product would do that.  He asked, "well did you use the fiber spacer under the carb?" as if I'd know it was needed.  I slapped that puppy (the spacer) a'tween the carb and intake and never had another problem..!  I did the same for my 66 289 and have helped other Mustangers with the same.
I'm not saying you might not have other issues, but the Edelbrock 8723 spacer perfectly cleared up the issue..!

I have for sale the power steering set up from a 1967 Mustang Coupe. This car had low mileage on it, and I will include rebuild kits for the valve and the slave cylinder. This set up includes the Valve, the Slave Cylinder, the Valve Bracket, the Power steering pump, and the pump bracket.    I think this is pretty much everything you need except for hoses, which you would replace anyway, and the steering drag link.
$325 for everything.
See y'all in Florida next year..!

The steering box out of the (early) 67 was a solid shaft. It was a 66 part number box. It's been sold, but it have another box I just pulled from a 66 that seems in very good shape. This car has set since 89. I'm putting a Borgeson unit in it. In fact, you sold me the new pedal and brake booster setup for it. I'll definitely include that box if you're interested.

Just got Booked...!  This will be our first Bash to attend.  I look forward to caravanning (car-a-mustanging) with a few of y'all from the Dallas area...!
