    I let my 2003 mustang 3.8 sit for 3 weeks and now coolant is mixing with the oil but no oil in coolant. We just had the engine apart and did all new gaskets including head gaskets. I changed the oil after break in and then once again after 300 miles and there was no water in it. I also had to...

    Hi I have a 2003 Mustang 3.8 and after a rebuild my engine has a loud tick under acceleration. It only happens when the car is actually moving (I can rev it to 4500rpm in my driveway annd it doesn’t make a sound) and isn’t too loud unless at highway speeds. I was wondering if it could be an...

    Redline Rebuild might be the best automotive series on the internet right now. Simple, entertaining, and cathartic, the series just takes engines apart and puts them back together better. This time they’re taking on Ford’s venerable 289 V8. Taken from a totaled ’64 Fairlane, Hagerty’s team...

    I just created my account earlier today, so forgive me if I'm posting this in the wrong spot. I read some of the rules on tech vs talk and have determined that the following best goes here. I apologize if I am wrong. Note: I am mechanically inclined, but I have no history at all on engine...

    Hi, my name is Chris, I have a 1966 ford mustang 289 V8 4barrel. The car is almost bone stock, except for some new shocks and a battery. As far as I know no other modifications have been made and the car has 97k miles. It needs a full valve job, and I figure if I do the valves I might as well do...

    Hi all, I've got a 67 coup mustang that my parents bought new, gave to me as a teenager, rebuild the motor twice, but has now sat idle for the past 15 years. It needs body work (which I realize I can't do) because of several rust spots. I'm looking for a shop/person that does quality work at...

    Well everyone, a couple months ago I rebuilt my 302 and there's quite a noticeable difference for performance, but It feels like there's more the engine can give, like Its not tuned properly. After driving the car around everywhere for the break-in, I'm curious as to what type of power my set up...

    Does anyone have contact information for Kevin or Tiffany at Laurel Mountain Mustang in Ruffs Dale PA? They appear to be out of business; however their website is still up and they are still taking money from people. When you call either of the numbers on their website it simply states you are...

    My transmission is finally in its death throws of life. All 5 speeds are still operable but reverse is gone. I would like to just purchase a rebuild kit as I don't quite have the coin to get a brand new trans. I don't even know where to begin. Rockauto doesn't seem to carry rebuild kits. I went...

    Aright so, some of you might already know but last week or so ago we (me and my dad) put in a freshly rebuilt engine and transmission into my car. Well, after resolving a few issues that weren't as complicated but now we are pretty stumped. So, sitting in park in the garage or rolling down the...

    So, today we (me and my dad) installed the freshly rebuilt engine and transmission into my car, and got it rolling down the road (fairly quickly i might add) at first everything was going well. But, after going to the parts store and back home the transmission squeals loudly after engaging...

    I'm getting ready to buy a 351w to build into 400hp. My original plan was to go to a junkyard or pull-a-part and yank one out of a 94-97 truck and rebuild that but I found this craigslist listing of a 351w roller cam block that's totally clean and has a fresh .030 bore and comes with new cam...
