ncwa: any chance you could post a thread with a description & some photos of what you've created, how you operate it, etc?

I realize you have a web site, but it's questionable etiquette at best (spam at worst) to join the forum to discuss your vehicle, and not have any information posted here about the project, other than a link.

Hope you don't mind the request. I'd love to read details of your Mustang on this site.

Maybe it is just me but that seems a bit harsh. I can get a lot more info into a website than I can a post. Please also note that I posted this one under "success story" not "DIY".

This thread has definitely been met with some negativity. I'll stop posting until I can find these etiquette rules that I seem to be missing. My mistake I guess.

I'm sorry you interpreted my request as negativity.

Unfortunately, there's a history of people whose only purpose in using this (and other) forums is to promote their own web sites, rather than to share information.

I'm sure you're not one of them.

I can tell you if your goal is to share information, you'll get a lot more interest in your project if you post a summary here.

another 66 mustang owner. I had the 200 and the rotten 3 speed on the floor. I got a maverick bellhousing and a toploader 4 speed out of a V-8, swapped the rear end for 2.80 auto gears. While it lasted it got great mileage on the freeway, right around 30 at 65~70 MPH. It was another one of those low rider mustangs. It had the worn out rear springs so I lowered the front to match
Then I got the bright idea of putting in a V-8 to match my transmission, and all thoughts of mileage went out the window.
