    As soon as I get my 85 LX back I can start driving it. I can then pull 91 LX 2.3L and do a basic overhaul, new main and rod bearings and new front and rear main seals. I will take that time to send the 2.3L dual plug head, and intake to my dad for rebuild and port and polish. My...

    Performed a DIS test today to test a theory.

    Put new plugs and wires in my 91 LX convertible today and got to thinking. My friend and I got the passenger side done and I decided before doing other side to disconnect all the plug wires off drivers side and see if car would start. It did. I then drove car around the block and no...

    I can get a set of axles from a 1994 Mustang. I thought all SN95's axles were about 3/4" per side? My friend said no, that 1994-1995 were the same as Foxes and 1996 and up are longer. Which is correct?

    Some questions regarding my 91 LX convertible

    I have some questions if you dont mind... 1) I can get a 190lph pump and installed in my car for $200. Is a 190lph pump enough to feed a 88 Turbo Coupe 2.3L turbo? 2) I have been eyeballing Stingers exhaust components so this is probably mostly directed at Stinger. Will the 3" downpipe work...
