He built this for his late 90's Fox. He got a 351 from a 96 Van pulled it apart, saw everything looked good, put it back...

    SN95 5 Lug Conversion: Weird Hum after install.

    I am trying to figure out why my car makes this noise. I have an 86, with an SN95 brake conversion. A few years ago, I noticed when I went over 70mph, it made a humming sound, very loud humming from, I believe the right front wheel area. It does not hum when I have my foot on the gas, but...

    Need Fiberglass Panel Info

    I am thinking about doing some simple body stuff to my car before I send it off to get it painted. I want to get a stock fiberglass hood, maybe fiberglass fenders, but I doubt they reduce weight that much, and I am really curious if any company makes fiberglass doors. I had to take out my...

    I need some advice on how to do this. I have replaced heads, rear control arms, longtubes, and all sorts of other not fun stuff, but I have never drained my coolant. I noticed my overflow tank is really low, and the last time it was done was back in Dec of 2003 when I replaced the heads and...

    So I bought slicks for the front

    ....and for the rear lolz. The wheels are OZ Monte Carlo’s with Kumho VictorRacer Tires. The reason I got 99 Cobra’s is I liked this wheel back in the day…like 8 years ago back in the day, but they were too spendy, so I finally got some, but they will be used to run these slicks. I run an...

    Smog pump removal, FMS A/C Delete. New belt routing idea.

    I am about to do the no smog pump and FMS A/C bracket moving the PS pump up. I have been looking at the diagrams on the net to do the short belt, with multiple people saying multiple belt sizes to do this mod.

    Smog and A/C delete. Need belt size.

    I did a search and found so many different answers. I have an 86. I am removing the smog and A/C, and will be using the FMS A/C Delete kit. I am not sure which size belt I will need. People say 70.5-73 inches. I think in the end I will have to take a tape measure, but my friend did this swap in...

    Who has replaced their steering shafts?

    Well, doing my longtubes, something finally let go in my stock 138,000 steering shaft. So now is as good time to get a new one. I am thinking of going with a maximum motorsports one, but have never really looked into the stock replacement let alone the after market. Anyone ever upgraded their...

    Breslin locking headers bolts questions

    I bought some Breslin locking header bolts. Since I used anti seize on them, the instructions call for 26 foot pounds. I cannot get a torque wrench on them. They are a 12 point bolt, and for some reason a 3/8 inch closed wrench would not fit on top of the head, so I had to use the open end and...

    Smog Elimination Questions

    Alright, since I did my longtubes, my midpipe does not have the air hose thingy that comes off of the smog pump. I am stuck with what to do. I want the smog stuff gone, and the A/C. I do not have time to do the A/C delete yet, but want it gone eventually, like this summer still. But, I want this...

    BBK Longtube Header Problems. Need o2 extensions that fit!

    I installed BBK Longtube headers this weekend. I ordered the BBK o2 extenstions from Summit. The part number is 1676 and says it will fit models from 1986-2004. Being that I have an 86, I figure no problem. However, they do not fit. Neither side of them fit. So now I have to return them...

    Smog stuff. Help me remove this crap

    A search yielded me nothing. So I must ask.... After doing my BBK Longtubes, I realize that trying to work around that huge ass pipe that plugs into the stock H-Pipe was not fun. Trying to fit the headers, and having that pipe hit me in the head was awesome. I tried about 5 times smacking...

    Ported Cobra Intake Manifold Vs. TMOSS lower

    I have a TMOSS ported lower and a stock upper intake off of a 93 Mustang on my 86. I have Thumper's heads. A guy I know is selling a lightly ported Cobra Intake for 200. I am wanting to know if this is a worth while swap, if I will notice any gains. From the TMOSS/Thumper setup along with a...

    Longtube Headers: Need some help.

    Well, a guy wants to buy my shorty jet hot headers and off road h pipe so I figure this would be a good time to step it up to long tubes. I am probably going to get BBK's. Are these a PITA to put in? I installed the shorty headers and that was fine. Do I have to remove the steering shaft and...

    Maximum Motorsports Control Arm Install

    I decided since it was 85 degrees outside today, I might as well put these in to see if they are worth the money. They went in fairly easy with the exception of a few things. MM says to jack car up and put the rear axle on jackstands, I used a lift and would recommend the same, especially if...

    Eaton Rear End. How Durable?

    I bought a used Eaton Trac Lock Carrier from a guy on a local board. He told me it has about 15,000 miles on it, and was taken to the drag strip a handful of times. He was switching to 31 splines so that’s why I got it, for 125.00. My trac lock has never worked in my car in the 8 years I have...
