A question for the HEAD DOCTOR

valley firearms · 11-26-2006, 03:46 PM

Thanks for the input Dark Knight and bruiser. We don't have freeways up here, just a few highways (if that's what you want to call them). I am sure you are right about the pistons being stock replacements. I'm not sure if the car was originally a 4V. It does have the GT40P cast iron heads right now. It runs really good now but not good enough. I plan on swaping out the C4 for a top loader I purchased this last summer. I want to make a hydraulic clutch with the CNC slave and master cylinders. I was also contemplating using the hydraulic throw out bearing. I've heard pros and cons about those. Either way, I want a bad ass stang to cruise around in. I don't drive it much as I have been working on it for the last year. I bet I have less than 100 miles on it since I bought it year before last. Here is a link to my progress. I appreciate the input and really like this site.
