    I've got the fever. Need some advice on fox purchase

    I'm eyeballing a local car that is low mileage 90 hatch 5sp 5.0. Please remind me of some of the things I should look for when buying the car. I would like to have as close to stock of a vehicle as I can. I've never owned a street legal mustang and I haven't driven a 5.0/5speed in 15...

    Sold Stang

    I havent been very active on the board lately because I havent been very active with my car or racing. I finally found a buyer for my car yesterday. He brought cash and I gave him the car. I didnt get squat for it, but for a race car thats not testable it was acceptable for me. I cant...

    Changing Cams

    I have a bad bank 2 camshaft where the lifter failed and took the camshaft with it. I am going to order a stock replacement cam for that side and change it. I have the procedure, am ordering the parts, but I need the tools. I intend to take the camshaft out without removing the front timing...

    Are All Modular Camshafts the same?

    This is something I want to know for my own info. I am talking apples for apples here. Lets set the parameters. 02 2v Mod motor same plant. Lets say windsor. Does the crownvic, explorer, F-150 and mustang all use the same camshaft? I am talking about lift, duration, part numbers all...

    how to find out how much?

    I have been wanting a street car for sometime. There has been an ad in the paper for 2 weeks now for an 89 5.0. All it says is black, 5.0 clean condition must see. $3450 is the price listed. The car is in a rural area, so no telling what I will find. Might be a hacked carb conversion or a 4...

    Factory Tint / Smoked Glass

    What is the deal with smoked glass? Is it possible to buy replacement panes that are smoked? I'd like to have smoked glass instead of tinted glass. Is there a process where any glass can be smoked, or is it something done in the forming process?

    tire age

    How long are tires good for? I have some remmington 265/50/r15's that were on my car when I got it. I never drove it with them and they have a bunch of tread left (to me they look almost new). I dont see any dry checking or evidence or any rot. They are currently unmounted. Any thoughts...

    CB Radio/Two Way

    Any two way people out there? What is a decent, reasonably priced CB radio and possibly a model #? CB is still alive and well in tow trucks and big rigs. On a recent but short hwy trip the truckers alerted me to road hazards. A ladder and a wheel barrel in the road. I have a chepo...

    Home Made Muffler

    Call me crazy, but my 5000 watt/10hp generator is too damn noisy. It is the old flathead design and the exhaust is very poppy and a loud harsh tone. I was considering buying a honda civic muffler or making my own. I can weld, but I am no fabricator. Does anyone have any constructive thoughts...

    Need new Door Panels

    I need to fix or replace my door panels. I saw some on a thunderbird today that looked good and were homemade. Where can I get that speaker type carpet from and about what does it cost? Dumass that had the car before me cut holes in the doors to mount tweeters and a mid. Looks like crapola.

    Good Day at the track

    I went to the track for the first time in 6+ months. I had just about given up on this track because it sucked. They resurfaced some of the launch pad and boy did it work for me. I had consistent low 1.68 60's. I am lucky if I get a 1.70 or high 1.69 because of my tight converter. The...

    Flushing Radiator

    Car has 100600. Never been cracked open. Should I flush and refil, or leave it until it dies? Just wonder how much crud I am going to knock loose and possible clog the radiator. Daily driver, so I dont want to have to replace anything, but I dont want other things to degrade because I have...

    Forged engine block and heads

    This is part talk, part tech. I have an older friend that thinks that I should get a machined engine. His definition of a machined engine is one where the heads and block are one piece of steel that has been bored out as one for pistons, valves and intake/exhaust ports. He claims that all of...

    4.9 tech

    This is damn close to 5.0 tech, so I'll give it a shot. Why do most straight sixes from chevy, dodge and ford have the intake and exhaust port on the same side? It seems to have less performance potential this way. I cant see how it is any cheaper or easier to package because the timeframe...

    First attempt up in flames

    Really more like my first attempt at flames. I bought some of the 1/8 plastic tape from eastwood co. I laid out my flames (took all of about 2 minutes with it). I tried to mimic what I had seen on all of the hot rod shows on TV. What do you know, I had some recognizable flames. Not perfect by...

    I want to paint flames

    OK. So I want to practice painting flames. Where do I get that narrow tape and what is it called? I am talking about that tape where they initially tape off the flame designs. I am thinking of doing some scrp metal, wood then possibly a mailbox or 2. If I get brave enough, I may one day do...
