MG Brown Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 On 8/16/2018 at 10:12 AM, Force said: Ford used Holley model 4160 carbs with vacuum secondaries and no choke on the FE race engines with dual carbs, the carbs are turned backwards so the distributor will fit because if you turn them the normal way the float bowl on the front carb will interfere with the distributor cap. So these carburetors will work nicely for your build. Otherwise you can use the carburetors from the AMT 1960 Starliner Custom or 2 'n 1 kits, they looks pretty good too. For the Injection manifold you could use one from the AMT Street Freak Mustang or similar and use aluminum tubes. Thank you very much for this most appreciated information.

Brett Barrow Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 The carbs in the kit look pretty good they have detail if you leave the aircleaners off. They reminded me a lot of the Starliner carbs when I first saw them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtx6970 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Are the hoods interchangeable between 64 and 65 models .? And Yes I know the hood is molded shut on the 64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) '65 hood is on the left, a '64 hood I cut from a glue bomb is on the right. The '64 hood is both shorter and more narrow than the '65. Edited August 23, 2018 by afx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boss 302 mustang Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) maybe, but it's annoying, like the "Muldoon" instead of Milodon on the Slixx KS Pittman sheet or the "Stahl-Muffler" instead of Stahl-Moroso on a Slixx nostalgia drag sheet Edited August 22, 2018 by boss 302 mustang typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Kourouklis Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) MAN, there are maybe what, half the trees that carry over from the street version? Unfortunately, the firewall is one of those carry-over parts. But the chassis is new (or at least it has a new front insert with a more radically raised set of integrated lower suspension arms), engine's new, 30% of the interior's new, and so is the body shell, which has had its chrome moldings removed and the rear wheel arches teased a bit for the larger tires. I'd put this kit at a pretty conservative 60% distinct from the stock version.

boss 302 mustang Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I think Jerry Jardine would be disputing that spelling...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'70 Grande Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Or Jerry Jardine's law firm is the reason for the different spelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blower scoop looks like a Steve Perry/Calnaga Castings part, and I know Steve spent a lot of time doing a more accurate master for the SOHC valve covers, so maybe that is a Calnaga part as well....???
