Weird Coincidence:  I live in CA.  Bought my V8 Pinto from PintoPaul in Idaho and needed to sell my BMW K1200LT to make room for it in the garage.  It just sold it on ebay...to a guy in Idaho!

I've never heard of the heads before. I tried reading the article but the second page was missing altogether but it sounds like they got good results. Looks like the company has been around since 2007 so if they are still in business they must be doing something right. At that price I'd be tempted to buy a pair and try them on my 347.

RSM, any tips or tricks for refreshing the rear axle? mines at 8" ?

im leaning hard toward those heads so i can spend more in other places, ive done multiple equations (combustion ratio) to make sure i get my 10:1 which is my main concern, im looking hard into transmissions right now, trying to find the right t-5 and parts

Other than replacing the axle bearings & seals and giving the axles a good once over, not much else to do other than figure what gear ratio you want if your thinking about changing it. If your sticking with what gears you have then probably the best thing to do is take the center section to a gear shop and have it inspected unless you have all the tools to check everything unless you know the axle is in good shape. Give it a good cleaning and check for any cracks then a fresh coat of paint if it everything checks out ok. How do the brakes look?

i havent had the drums off the 8" but when i get to the 5 lug axle ill be using the ranger drums, do you happen to know what year ranger drum is used for that? i wish the brake hardware from the small axle (stock one) was interchangable because it looks like it is all brand new.

have any experience with fuel tanks, we found a replacement one on amazon for a reasonable price, shape wise it matchs up exactly, but the listing does have a year listed.

thats the tank ^^^^

I have no idea on the Ranger stuff. As far as gas tanks, I know that subject has been brought up before and I know don't remember if Mustang tanks are the same or not. You might want to start a new thread and ask if anyone knows.

RSM, i asked the question on a similar fuel tank thread, so now it got bumped to the top, if they dont respond, ill start a new thread. i got my pedals, found a guy on ebay with both brake and clutch (matching out of the same car) so im that much closer!! time to get a lock on a trans
