I have a 1964 1/2 Mustang with a three speed manual Toploader transmission. I would like to keep the transmission. I have a '66 289 engine with the six bolt bell housing pattern. Is there a bell housing that would fit directly? Or do I need an adapter?

I am pretty new at this, and I have just completed a light overhaul of my 289. New gaskets from short block up, and a new timing chain. The work I have done so far, seems up to par, it runs strong, for a 40+ year old motor, with novice work done. I put most of that down to the idiot proof...

Hi. I am Jerry. I just bought a 1968 Mustang with a 289. It runs and is solid but needs brake work and a lot of TLC. I am 35 and have wanted a vintage Mustang my whole life. Now I have it and don't plan on letting it go. I appreciate all tips or criticisms you have or know about this year...

I have a 1967 with a 289 engine. The factory 2-4 needed to be rebuilt. We were told it would cost just as much for a new Eidelbrach 1406, so that is what we had installed. It is not at all fuel efficient and I need to know what we should replace it with. Should we go back to the factory Holley...

Hey guys, first post in what I'm sure will be an ongoing relationship. I recently picked up a 1 owner 66 289 Mustang in premo shape. Shes a bit ugly at the moment but that will change as time goes by. The 289 has a rebuild with about 15k on it. Its been sitting for a couple of years only...

I recently purchased a 1968 Mustang Coupe with a 289 4 speed Manual transmission. When I bought it it would start up fine and ran great until I let it run out of oil. This being my first classic car I did not watch the oil levels close enough until I happened to blow my oil pump. Luckily I...

it is a 289 with a 2 barrel carb. it takes a few tries to get it to start. i got it to run for 1 minute once. usually lasts 15 seconds until it dies. what could be the problem. i just rebuilt the carb, but it didn't help. could it be the idle screws aren't adjusted properly?

Hubby bought me a wonderfully restored 1965 Mustang, orange with black vinyl top, three months ago and it's been in the shop more than on the road, so we're getting a bit frustrated. Two months ago as I tried to start it in a parking lot, I noticed smoke from under the hood then bubbling paint...
