    95 V6 Help

    I have a 95 3.8 5 speed that is my DD. About a week ago it started accelerating a little sluggish and it got worse and worse over the next two days until it got to the point where I couldn't drive it. The only code I have is one I have had FOREVER for the DPFE because there is no EGR/DPFE on...

    Dash Interchangeablility

    I'm stripping my 90 since it's far too rusted to save and I just bought an 89 LX 5.0 yesterday. The only thing is it has a red interior but for $900 I couldn't pass it up. Now I'm sure my 90 dash will bolt right in, however will I be able to fit 89 cluster in the 90 dash? My 90 is only a 4...

    302 or 351w?

    So I'm trying to get as many opinions as possible before I pull the trigger on a motor. I'm going to do a motor swap in my 90 4 banger. I'm on a typical high school budget (LOL) and I'm not sure if I want to go 302 or 351w. Either way it would have GT40p heads until funds allow for an upgrade...

    5.0 Questions

    Well I'm pretty much a lurker, I never really post but now I have a reason to. I got a 5.0 out of a Grand Marquise with low oil pressure for free. I'm fairly sure it is out of an 87, but being it is out of a Grand Marquise and not a Mustang it doesn't have forged pistons, does it? I haven't...

    1990 LX

    I got a 1990 LX automatic for $500 for my first car. The car has a little over 90xxx miles on it but the exterior needs work. I wanted to get some opinions if it's worth it to replace what needs to be fixed(one quarter, both fenders, the headlight panel, and front bumper), swap a 5.0 and t-5...

    Transmission Line

    I have the auto transmission in my car and on the radiator, there are 2 lines for the transmission cooling I guess. Well it seems that there must be some kind of adapter on it because it is a new radiator(it was like this when I got it) and the top line fitting is stripped to it pisses out...

    Strange starting problem

    I have a 1990 lx and I couldn't get it to start so I decided to try replacing the starter solenoid (it was bad anyways and one of the poles was snapped off) and see if that was the problem. Well having said that, I followed both the instructions which came with it and the manual and went to...

    Gauges

    I was looking at some new gauges and I was wondering what it would take to put the 140mph gt gauges in my lx which only has the 85mph ones. Is it just a matter of changing the speedometer gear?
