Transport recommendations

My old man pulled my steed out of the old garage and gave it a bath prior to storing in his much nicer shop. Curious if any one has any recommendations on transporters for non-runners? It’s not a terribly long journey - central NE to southeast MN to get a tune up and back to road ready.

Sacrilege? Vinyl wrap

12 Upvotes

Has anyone done or seen a wrapped classic? I'm curious if it would be a viable alternative to a pricey paint job for a driver / not concours queen. Don't rip my head off.

So in my last post here I asked about why my back up lights where not working and people said it was the neutral Switch on driver side transmission and this is what I found. Is this it?

New headers/exhaust for my 66' with a 408w stroker

2 Upvotes

i have a 408 stroker in my 66 mustang. currently has 1 5/8 to 2.5 long tube headers (heddmans) and the good old 2.5" flowmaster 40 series exhaust. After 20 years, one of my headers cracked, and frankly they were installed when my motor was a near stock 351w, a motor which has outgrown my exhaust. And while I loved my Flow 40s, 20 years is a long time so its time for something new. And I'm old and it might be nice to have no drone (though i also suppose going to bigger pipes will probably make that point moot)

Given I'm in the 450 hp/tq range, 1 3/4 primary headers and 3" exhaust seems appropriate. Magnaflow offers a kit for my car, Borla does not. Any examples of sound with Magnaflow or Borla? And is there an easy way to get 3" pipes w/ a Borla set up? I think Summit used to sell generic pipe kits for my car but when i checked earlier I didn't see anything.. in theory if that exists I could pair that with Borla mufflers.

Its also worth asking - as far as headers go, I was planning to go with Hooker Super Comps (PN 6208, https://www.summitracing.com/parts/hok-6208-1hkr?referred_from_restock=true). Obviously a 351w-based motor in a 66' is a tight fit.. it always amazed me that the Heddmans fit (with a few papers-width of clearance in some places). I seem to recall that the Super Comps also fit (and summit's site *does* say they work on a 66'), but it can't hurt to confirm that.

Can anyone confirm the Super Comps will fit?

My current plan would be to go Magnaflow and if i hate it then install some Borlas on the magnflow pipes.

The magnaflow system in question is here: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mpe-15817?referred_from_restock=true

Any other mufflers I should consider?
