It's Been A Long Long Time...

...since Ive been on here or had a mustang. My last one was the 87 Gt that got totaled. Ive had several cars since then, but I've finally gotten a hold of a mustang again. It's an 84 LX with a 4bbl 5.0. Has a short shifter, new interior, poly bushings all around, bbk long tubes >H-pipe > Flowmasters. It has a freakin holley 750 on a stock motor with exhaust. so you can imagine, it bogs out like hell in low rpm. Im switching that to a 600 so i can do some mild work and not drown my car in fuel. motor was rebuilt in 2005. everything seems good. only things are minor. I do need to redo the steel brake lines to the rear pass. wheel. it broke, so they sealed it. brakes felt fine, but I'm still fixing it. he also threw in a 160 amp single wire alternator with the bracket. and he also gave me a new power steering bracket to match :)

I traded it for my old 1986 Plymouth Conquest TSI. It had a 2.6l Turbo. Garrett 60-1. external waste gate (open dump), 50mm Tial BOV, 3" down pipe to the back with a magna flow, front mount intercooler, 65mm cosworth tb, custom intake manifold, multiport injection, 550cc injectors, stock internals, 65k original miles. Emerald k6 standalone ecu, innovative lc-1 wideband, MSD Fuel Pump, MSD Coil, and thats all that comes to mind. it was quick, but idk, just didn't do it for me. So I traded it.

Here are the pic. Enjoy!

Old GT from high school :(

lol, it was a small piece that went in front of the cam. The GT ran like ass, and I realized I forgot that piece. It was offset, so I thought it was a balancer of some sort, and when I put it back on, the car ran fine. again, i was 16 or so.

Sucks to hear that this forum isn't as active as it once was. What 5.0 forum has the most activity?
 
Ever since the layout changed, I post less and less.

Still check in though from time to time

Same here. It sure has slowed down in this section. I have noticed it in other forums too. I don't think it's the layout as much as that since the new 5.0 DOHC in the new mustang came out, interest in these old cars has dropped.
 
Nothing like the rumble of an OHV 5.0 :)

I'm thinking about joining corral. Oh and btw, I found out, the 4 eyed girl has 4.11 not 3.73. No wonder she kicks. But she still has a few kinks i need to resolve. Steering turns more to one direction than the other. my PCV is somewhat hooked up. Im getting rid of it tho. Gotta install the new alt. Current one is charging as 12-13v. more to the 12v. Need to get my speedo hooked up again. The speedometer needle started jumping up and down and suddenly my speedo drops all the way down. lol.

My vacuum advance is also non working lol. I just had to order one because autozone nor advance had any in stock.

Once I have everything (mechanically) set, Ill post up a video for you all
