    99/04 Borla Catback In A Fox?

    So I work at a fairly good size salvage yard here in Spokane Valley and scored a complete Borla catback off a 2002 Gt mustang along with the x pipe. It is in pretty good shape besides the tail pipes are a little beat up. I can't complain thought since I got a killer deal on it. Anyways, how much...

    04 Cobra front lower control arms

Basically im wondering if they are worth grabbing for my 85. I have the 95 Spindles with 04 front brakes already. I plan on running MM cc...

    Electric Fuel Pump For Carb?

    I'm in the search for an electric fuel pump for the 85 I just picked up. Not real familiar with carb applications so just wondering if anyone had any suggestions? The car will just be a 302 with a Holley 600 on it, probably will do gt40 heads eventually and it has a Edelbrock Performer RPM...

    Learned Something New Today...

    That not all 4 eye gauge clusters are the same lol. I went to swap the cluster from my 85 to my 80 because I wanted the 140 speedo in the 85.. Well once I plugged it in, the brake light and the right turn signal bulb were on and the key wasn't even in. Then I started smelling a burning smell...

    Svo K Member

    I just bought a 85 Mustang Gt t top, and it came with a ton of parts. Among these parts was a complete Svo K member. He said the Svo handled really well due to the different angles of the k member and lower a arms and such.. I don't know much about Svo's so here I am to see what I can figure out...

    One step closer!

    So I finally was able to get my other side done with installing my front setup on my coupe haha. I snapped some pictures, since I feel accomplished with it, and I like the look of it even though I still need to install the rear springs. I added BBK springs, 95 Spindles, and a set of OEM 2004...

    What would YOU do?

The car has a full steeda suspension under it, car is super clean, and has all the harnesses and everything for EFI. Has a BBK...

    WOT Carb seems gutless

    Finally got my car together, been kinda driving it around and am now figuring out what all my new problems are haha. My major concern is that when I go WOT, the car just doesn't seem to want to pull at all. It accelerates, but not like a WOT pull should. I am just learning carb so bear with me...

    1989 Ford Festiva front wheel bearing

    My driver side wheel bearing on my 1989 Ford Festiva is shot. Is this something I can do? I heard something about how a special tool may be needed to shim the bearing? Any info and help would be great, thanks

    Smoking problem

    Okay, I have been battling this problem for a while now.. What it is doing is that it is smoking really bad out the passenger side only. I can hold the RPM's at 2200 and grey smoke literally is pouring out. I have done the intake manifold gasket, just did valve stem seals, bottom end is all new...

    Valve stem seal question

    I plan on replacing the valve stem seals on my 351w. The question I have, I don't know what ones to buy haha. I have no idea what year the heads are, or how to find out. Or if it matters what year to get if they are all the same? They have the larger spark plug if that helps. Can I just buy any...

    Pcv system on carb setup

    Hi, I am getting my car ready for summer time driving and need to come up with a pcv system for my 351w. I have the screw in type valve covers and have the breathers on both of them, but they shoot out oil after driving the car. Do I just need to find a pcv breather with the vacuum port on the...

    EFI conversion

    Okay I am making my list of everything I need to swap my 1980 Mustang over to EFI. I want to keep the same dash, so here is what I am thinking.. I have an 89 computer harness with the injector harness and 02 sensor harness. Can I just get an 86 Mustang body harness, and the 89 harness will plug...

    Close choke, car dies?

    Okay so I been finally tinkering around with this thing trying to get it to run right. Before the car would only pull like 5 inches of vacuum at idle and run like crap. I now got the car up to 8-10 inches of vacuum at about 1k rpm. It seems to run a lot better when I give it throttle and will...

    Low Vacuum, where to look?

    I have a 1980 Coupe with a 351w that is rebuilt. The car did sit for ten years and since then I have had the carb rebuilt, and the intake manifold gasket replaced. The car has also had a recent valve adjust which is what im thinking may be my problem.. The cam card called for .020 for the...

    High idle, poss. sticking throttle?

    Okay so I just finished my intake manifold gasket on my 351w. Before it had low vacuum and was burning oil on the pass side. Now it don't seem to be burning oil, but I do have low vacuum still and it seems to be burning really rich again. When I let it warm up it idles at about 1500 rpm, but I...

    Low Vacuum

    Okay so I am starting to get my car ready for Spring time weather. My main problem I want to take care of is the car only draws 5 inches of vacuum at idle. The carb is recently rebuilt and no matter what the metering screws are turned to the vacuum does not change at all. The car also acted like...
