    I recently bought a 1965 Galaxie and have had braking issues. I decided to bleed the system of course starting with the farthest to the closest of the master cylinder.

    Hey y’all, total newb here - I came across a MX Cruise-O-Matic, medium case and based on the tag it came off a F100 truck (PFB-A with C5MP casting). Is it possible to use this on a 289 I’m putting in on a 1965 Mustang, if I get the proper bell housing?

    Hey all, I'm new to the forums so please go easy on me. I'm putting a 289 with a C4 into my '64. I'm completely in the dark about which motor mounts and crossmember mounts to use, as well as which crossmember would be the proper fit. I'm very much an amateur so if you have any advice aside...
