The Granada, Monarch, Versailles is a little narrower bet still fits. All of them require some spring perch work. The housing width is 52.25" backing plate to backing plate, and the perch width is 43". The Mustang II is 52" & 43" respectively, but the II perches are narrower so the centering pins end up closer together. I've crammed a '59 Galaxy rear into a '74, but it really needs to come back out and get done right. The 11" drums are nice and it makes for an easy 5-lug conversion in the rear, plus all the disc brake kits will work with them. Darryl -----Original Message----- Okay this is what i want to do.

Thats why you see allot of positive stop shifters for the t-5's. When you over exert a shift it bends the shifter forks inside the Trans. over time it can get bent quite allot, and eventually cause it to not go all the way in gear. If you have the car in gear and it's only engaged half way do to a bent shifter fork and you side step the clutch,why it's only at half strength and gets pretty pissed off!! Ben there, done that.

I find that the mach1 was probably the most handsome and functional trim level that was offered. I have a '77 with a 302, 4-spd, sports perf. pkg, rally pkg. Basically, my car is mechanically identical to the king cobras, but without the huge spoilers and tape graphics. Regular cobras were mostly graphics options with no perfomance goodies that came with that package. While there's something to be said for looking the part of a road racer, the mach 1's looks will be underestimated by the un-initiated. I prefer being under-estimated and a street sleeper rather than gaudy and having to live up to expectations. The competition suspension was available as a separate option in '76. It was also part of the rallye pkg. You could still have the heavy-duty suspension and not have to belong to a certain trim package.

Of course, the Mach 1 has a body code "05" in the VIN so if you made it a Mach anyone who cared to could figure out it wasn't. The third and fourth digit in your VIN is your body code...if you have a fastback it is either 6F03 (2+2) or 6F05 (Mach 1). I believe that the Cobra was just a converted 2+2 so if your body code is "03" I suppose no one would be the wiser, although I wouldn't recommend trying to fool anybody (a true Cobra is worth more than a 2+2 and trying to pass a 2+2 off as a Cobra would be deceptive...Mustang II people just don't do that kind of thing). I doubt the competition suspension would affect your ride much. It would make the car corner flatter because you would be using a larger anti-roll bar up front and installing one in the rear where before there wasn't one. The true competition suspension package used an adjustable shock so you could make it ride a little softer if you wanted to. I don't know if those are still made (they were made by Gabriel). A slightly stiffer spring was used as well but the old magazine articles I have which talk about the competition suspension note that the ride isn't much "worse" than a stock suspension. If you used rubber bushings instead of polyurethane your ride will be fairly soft anyway. I would bet one of the vendors at mustangii.com could set you up with the springs and roll bars for a pittance. Don't forget to ask for the mounting hardware, and good luck!

You could probably get some of the parts from PST (Performance Suspension Technology) or the like but good used parts would be much less costly, not to mention the fact that they would be sure to fit right. Emblems were pretty much stickers and, in some cases, stainless steel trim. You can also get that stuff from the vendors at mustangii.com (gee, you'd think I had a financial stake in that website, but I really don't). I've seen a lot of Cobra II stickers and the like on E-bay as well. The Mach would be easier because you wouldn't have to worry about a hood scoop or spoilers for the front end or the rear deck or all of those vinyl graphics or the Cobra grill emblem. Mach 1's apparently did come with the front spoiler in 1977 and 1978, at least according to the photos in the dealer brochures. All of the Mach 1's I've seen are two tone (say, red from the side marker light signal up and on the top half of the bumper, black underneath with a white (silver?) "Mach 1" decal on the bottom half of the front fender just in front of the door and a blacked-out tail panel. I don't have a scanner so I can't send you any pictures. Maybe someone else can help with that part. According to my 1974 dealer brochure the Mach 1 included: 2.8 V-6 (or optional V-8 from 1975 on), dual remote control color-keyed mirrors, styled steel wheels with chrome trim rings, black lower bodyside paint treatment (see aove), and deluxe interior (soft vinyl, long arm rests, lots of fake wood or perhaps brushed aluminum). Two desirable options were the competition suspension (already discussed) and the Rallye Package (Traction-Lok differential, raised white letter CR70 13 tires, extra cooling package, competition suspension, sport exhaust with bright tips, digital clock and leather wrapped steering wheel). It would appear from most of the brochures that the Mach 1 used a simple stainless steel strip around the car but the photo in the 1976 brochure shows the vinyl molding. For my money, by the way, I think the Mach 1 was the most understated and thus the best looking of the high-performance Mustang IIs.

I find that the mach1 was probably the most handsome and functional trim level that was offered. I have a '77 with a 302, 4-spd, sports perf. pkg, rally pkg. Basically, my car is mechanically identical to the king cobras, but without the huge spoilers and tape graphics. Regular cobras were mostly graphics options with no perfomance goodies that came with that package. While there's something to be said for looking the part of a road racer, the mach 1's looks will be underestimated by the un-initiated. I prefer being under-estimated and a street sleeper rather than gaudy and having to live up to expectations. The competition suspension was available as a separate option in '76. It was also part of the rallye pkg. You could still have the heavy-duty suspension and not have to belong to a certain trim package.

Of course, the Mach 1 has a body code "05" in the VIN so if you made it a Mach anyone who cared to could figure out it wasn't. The third and fourth digit in your VIN is your body code...if you have a fastback it is either 6F03 (2+2) or 6F05 (Mach 1). I believe that the Cobra was just a converted 2+2 so if your body code is "03" I suppose no one would be the wiser, although I wouldn't recommend trying to fool anybody (a true Cobra is worth more than a 2+2 and trying to pass a 2+2 off as a Cobra would be deceptive...Mustang II people just don't do that kind of thing). I doubt the competition suspension would affect your ride much. It would make the car corner flatter because you would be using a larger anti-roll bar up front and installing one in the rear where before there wasn't one. The true competition suspension package used an adjustable shock so you could make it ride a little softer if you wanted to. I don't know if those are still made (they were made by Gabriel). A slightly stiffer spring was used as well but the old magazine articles I have which talk about the competition suspension note that the ride isn't much "worse" than a stock suspension. If you used rubber bushings instead of polyurethane your ride will be fairly soft anyway. I would bet one of the vendors at mustangii.com could set you up with the springs and roll bars for a pittance. Don't forget to ask for the mounting hardware, and good luck!

I tried using some metal polish on a spare bezel to remove some of what I thought was tarnish and it took it down to the plastic. Did Ford use aluminum for part of the run and plastic on another? --- rebelmust@aol.com wrote: > materal is thin alum,pre cut around guages,self > adhesive peel off backing > just like orig.thanks,Steve rebel mustang > > > _____________________________________________________________ > Who will win the Oscars?

The only space relocating the battery will gain you is around the battery itself. Nice little tray to put your tools. The problem area is below the battery tray between the unibody and the engine, above the starter. That's were its REALLY tight! The headers even burned off the paint from my engine compartment in that area! --- Jamey Brown wrote: > I have got to get headers!

I know it will be tight; but my question, more specifically, is was there any additional bending or relocation of anything in order to make them fit, or are they a direct bolt on that just fits in REALLY tight?

I have had enough of the mud slinging from MustangII.Org they want to fight thats fine they can fight themselves I don't want any part of it at all. Tim and I started this little venture of ours for one reason and one reason only to get the II into the spotlight and you can type Mustang II in ANY browser and you will find us so that mission was taken care of. Now I'm taking suggestions Firebird TransAm or Camaro?

I sure don't understand. Your are willing to trash good equipment over some idiots? I hate to bust your bubble, but it does matter what group you get into, weather it be Camaro or Mustang, you are still going have a few idiots. I'm not sure weather you are yanking my change, but I can't understand you line of thought.

But when you have a group of people that are supposed to love the car and it's all about bashing the II and fighting over who has the better website it turns the II into a bigger joke and I'm not cool with that I have helped get over 200 of them on the roads of Michigan and I get accused of trying to kill another website I've just had enough of it. Tim can keep up the fight if he wants to I'm just done and for a few select people I will answer questions.
