Is there a way to attach a jpg picture directly from a file on this forum?  Is linking a URL or using Youtube the only way to attach a picture?  Thanks.

I have coated Heddmans  Everything fits fine and they have been on since 2000.  But I would not look askanse at JBA's too.

I had the Heddman long tube coated headers on my 351W in my 68, with a  C4 transmission. The only issue I had was one tube was contacted by the steering sector in an extreme left turn. I had to switch over to the JBA shorty headers when I swapped the C4 for a 4R70W. 
 

Thanks.  We're looking at either JBA or Hedman shortys.

Looks like we're going to drop a 351W into our 66 upgrade.  Any recommendations on headers that will work without notching the shock towers?

Need a Ford 9 inch rear axle housing and axles for 66 coupe V8 upgrade.  Also planning to add rear disc brakes.  I've seen several online vendors including Quick Performance and MWC.  Any recommendations and comments would be appreciated.

Thanks TKO.  Will stay with the T5.  Already have one in my 65 and it works fine.

Will a Tremec T3650 work in a 66 coupe?  Will the shifter line up with the floor hole?  One is being locally advertised and I'm not familiar with this model tranny.  I know the T5 will fit just fine.

Installed the TMI Sport II seats in my 65 last year.  A little pricey but they look and feel great.

Moving along on restore and upgrade of 66 Mustang coupe.  Will have a 302 (300+ hp) and Tremec 5 speed.  With 9" Ford rear end and Richmond 3.50 which axle is best and why--28 or 31 spline?  Thanks in advance.

Been disassembling and prepping our 66 coupe from a 6 cyl/C4 auto to a 302 V8 with Tremec 5 speed and other new options including power disc brakes and steering.  Started this on 26 May.  2 videos attached showing the start and where we are this week.  Will add more as we progress.  Enjoy!
