Not to poop on your idea, I treat copywrited materials I post differently than "public domain" materials. Copywrite holders have been known to get pissy when they find their material posted without their permission and possible compensation. When I put up a copy of a magazine or service manual material, I put it in a "temp" directory on the server and either mail a link to the person requesting the information, or post a link to a mail list. Either way the information is usually removed within 24 hours. Handling copywrited materials in this manner limits my exposure. It also keeps the material more in the manner of hand passing a book at a public meeting.

I wouldn't recommend posting entire books or magazines but an article from a magazine or book here and there is covered under the fair use act. It is also wise to give credit to the source much like you would a term paper or research paper. Most of the tech information on the site comes from three different sources who I contacted and spoke to about using the information.

Any Mustang II V8 spring, preferably from one with Competition Suspension. springs from a FOX Mustang will work but need shortened to the correct length.

It is possible that a dealer could have tranformed a hatchback. While this may seem far-fetched, (to add badges and change the interior)some dealers may have gone to such extremes. Here in So. Cal. Galpin Ford ( one of the country's largest) took car's and "Galpinized" them in the 70's. This consisted of everything from wild paint jobs to creating their own packages. Just food for thought.

It is a '78 with T-tops and the 2.3 l. It has a vinyl strip across the top and the smaller quarter panel windows (they're actually the same size but the vinyl covers the front section of them making them look smaller.) I am putting the King Cobra parts on it that I got from when my former roomate totalled his '78 and gave it an undeserving trip to the scrapyard. I also have the large input spline C-4 mated up to the 2.3 l. It shifts awesomely at around 6500 and the 4 cyl. really comes to life when you wind it up. Unfortunately the flexplate shears after a while. I must have the wrong torque converter, or some alignment problem with the converter at the crank. The original converter only had 3 attachment bolts to the flexplate and I needed 4 for the 2.3 l. flexplate so the local tranny shop sold me this converter which works great except for this problem. It was tough finding one that would bolt up to the 2.3 AND accepted the large input shaft. Any thoughts on this would greatly help. I am also currently installing an Electromotive Inc.TEC-II which is a crank- triggered ignition and fuel injection unit. The next step is to turbocharge a 2.3. Can anyone tell me if the intake and exhaust manifolds from a turbo 2.3 will fit on a normally aspirated 2.3 and what are the disadvantages of turbocharging the normally aspirated 2.3. (Of course the compression ratio will probably have to be changed.) This car has been totally stripped and is just about better than new, but I still need some new door hinge pins and bushings which I can't seem to find. I would also like to find some side and rear window louvres. If anyone can help I would certainly appreciate it. Thanks, Bill. "Timothy M.

It's called a Targa band. The intake manifold from an EFI turbo are absolutely identical to the intake on an EFI N/A motor. The heads are way different between a '78 2.3L and the EFI 2.3L. The older 2.3L has oval port heads and the newer 2.3L has D-Port heads (or visa-versa). Swapping a complete turbo motor in place of an N/A motor is the recommended method. The turbo motor has a drilled and tapped boss for the turbo's oil return line. You'd also have all the correct mounting brackets with the turbo motor. The turbo motor is a high nickel content block with forged TRW pistons and the older style combustion chamber. The N/A EFI motors have a heart shaped combustion chamber. There's some pictures of a 2.3L Turbo in a '78 T-Top on my web page: http://fp.premier1.net/a351must http://fp.premier1.net/a351must/78TTop/78ttop.htm Darryl Lang '74 Coupe 351W C4 '77 Mach 1 5.0L HO 4spd '78 T-Top 2.3L EFI Turbo 5spd -----Original Message----- I also have a Mustang II hatchback Ghia.

This is the first time I have ever emailed a picture, but I felt it was necessary when discussing this topic. This is not a custom butcher job. This picture came out of "Consumer Guide, Mustang: America's Favorite Pony Car." It can be found on page 64 with the following caption (the date of the fastback ghia is 1-25-74): "A Ghia 'Sport' fastback (top) was considered, but never produced, probably because the sporty and luxery concepts were at odds with one another. The big news for 1975 was the re-emergence of a V-8 option, a 302-cid unit and, for the Ghia, a $151 Silver Luxery Group (center). Even the base models (bottom) boasted solid-state ignition and steel belted radial tires." It is possible that someone could have done an aftermarket conversion, or this one could have escaped.

Ford did make a 79-81 Ghia hatchback. Also, the 3.2 liter engine size that was mentioned earlier. If that wasn't a typo meaning 2.3 4-cyl, it could be the straight six that was used in the early fox cars.

FAQ's would be appreciated but would go in a different area on the site. One of the goals of the Mustang II Network site is to centralize as much information on the IIs as possible. So in theory, any information that you would be willing to share can be put somewhere on the site.
