    Classic & Performance Mustangs Inc.

    I keep seeing these guys auctioning M-Chevys off in eBay. The CUCVs look nice. And, generally, for the price they're what I'd consider to be inline with what I'd expect to invest in a resto (after initinal purchase). New paint and interior lined, some new sheet metal, new filters and fluid...

    I thought the last vedio was kinda artistic. 8-)

    CUCV Starters

    Well, I'm not sure if it is the same housing. It does fit. But the rebuilder said he 'gutted' the old and replaced it with new internals. So on that assumption I thought it'd bolt back in. However.... When I picked it up the starter had to be 'persuaded' to start with a cou[le of thumps from...

    CUCV Starters

    Quick background: bought a `1009 Blazer that had evidently been submerged at one point and starter was toast. I took it to a rebuilder and got it back. He had gutted it and replace the 'innerds' and showed me the crap he took out. Got it installed and hit the key. Horrific clanging tortured...

    M1028 top speed

    I've thought of that but wonder what all the requirements would be: donor vehicle etc. Anyone ever done it? I also wonder what the cost difference would be between the two (700R4 or GV overdrive) or justifiable try to add an OD. Then like someone mentioned a lift and taller tires. I do...

    M1028 top speed

    I finally got my '28 titled and on the road. I let a friend dive it and was amazed that the top speed is about 50 MPH without over-revving the engine. I drove a '28A3 about 7 months ago and noticed it shifted -very quickly- and top speed again was about the same as my plane jane '28. He...

    starting and chattering

    Okay. I just picked-up the ST85 today and will try it this weekend, along with dropping the starter and flushing it out just to see what happens. Thinking further, I'm going to try to stock-pile some CUCV electric parts (starters, alts, etc) just for this. If possible, I plan on keeping thse...

    starting and chattering

    I just picked-up a M1009 that I thing may have gone swimming. It runs quite well but to get it going for a test drive we had to do the beating of the starter with a hammer. I got it home and proceeded to flush the crap out of it and may have done too good a job. The glow plug light doesn’t...
