I'm sure there are people who feel like me when you get ripped off. Nothing worse than some scum sucking piece of garbage that steals from honest hard working people. I was ripped of Thursday night by some suckass POS sorry excuse for a human. :mad: They got the carb off of my Mustang along with the aircleaner, electric fan, fuel regulator and stereo. They also took my air compressor and a bunch of tools. I was ready to kill something at that point!!(good thing it wasn't in my Pinto yet...I woulda killed anything that moved). I do have the Sheriffs dept involved and hope to get some of it back but prolly wont. The carb and aircleaner is what pissed me off the worst. Thats gonna be about $1000.00 to replace. Prolly be about another $1000 to replace everything else. Hope my homeowners insurance will cover some of it. So everyone keep a good eye on everything around your homes and if something looks out of place...beware. If I can figure out how to shrink my pics I'd post some of the car. This Mustang has been my nemisis from day one( and a huge money pit)...I think this time it's getting stripped and everything is going in the Pinto like I originally planned. I appologize if my language has offended anyone.
No need to appologize. I would be pissed if that happened to me. Good luck recovering some of what you lost. May the sorryass that stole from you get what's coming to them.
Belive me when I say that Mr Smith&Wesson has a few .500 slugs with their names on it!!
Damn,
People zoop, I cannot understand the mentality to rip off someone elses stuff like that. Hanging is too kind of a penalty. I hope you get your stuff back and i hope they pay severley.
I know the feeling ,was ripped off for a lot of my tools last year .I have a BIG SIGN in my shop now that reads:"I have the serial and model #'s written down of every tool i own. So please help yourself to anything I have.Because if you steal it from me I do have proof it belongs to me and I will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law".Haven't so much as even lost a screwdriver since then...
Well...I prolly wont get anything back. I'll get my homeowners insurance to cover the bulk of it. I pitty the morons if I ever catch them.
RSM, I'm really sorry you were robbed. I hate people who steal or break into someone's home. In January my purse was stolen because I put it down for a minute in a busy place. Yeah it was my fault for putting it down, but why in the hell did they need a purse that didn't belong to them!? I had EVERYTHING an identity thief could use to mess up my life. Yeah, I HATE THIEVES!!!! Get 'em RSM!!!
Well...its official. I was kinda hoping the insurance company would pay off on the car parts that were stolen but it's a no-go...oh well...$1200.00 down the toilet. The UP side to this is that since I've had nothing but trouble from day 1 with that Mustang I'm stripping it down and will start my V8 Pinto build. Maybe by the time I get it ready to fire up again I'll have enough money to replace all the high dollar items that were stolen. I'm planning on taking lot's of pics during this build to help anyone in the future. I've looked at a lot of pics and kinda figured the route I'm going with when it comes to the oil pan/motor mounts. My main focus will be using the double sump pan from the Foxbody. If it doesnt work out I have Mustang II engine mounts and pan.
Just saw this thread RSM, sorry bout all that. Thats totally screwed up. Did you have some pictures of the stuff? maybe start checking craigslist or even ebay for your stuff. Never know. Some thieves are stupid as posts. Maybe you'll get lucky?
Well i can guarantee that your double hump pan wont work unless you set the engine back about 6 inches or so. Just a guess. However the Milodon deep sump pan will go without much drama. Stay away from the copy cats on ebay. They look the same but are different in the rack clearance area. I'm sure that Milodon didn't mean to make it fit the Pinto Swap. Just a lucky fit. That is unless you cant find a mustang II pan.
BTW I haven't forgot about your dimensions for the mounts. Hang tight.

Well I guess I'll break out the Mustang II oil pan. Was hoping the double sump would work. No problem on the drawings...it will be a few weeks before I actually start this project. Thanks
Are you using the Milodon pan on your car? Is it a front sump or rear? Part#? I look on ebay and craigslist about 5 times a day if not more.I hope the carb shows up.
RSM i am sorry to hear about your trouble with the perasites.
As far as the oil pan i would use the mustang II pan it should work great. I used the reg front sump pan and cut the rear part and raised it 2" and moved the back of the sump forward 1" it let me get the motor as low and back as far as possible with out moving the rack. But the mustang II should give the same results. The double hump wont work at all unless you remove the rear hump then you might not hold enough oil. Good luck on finding the stuff.
