    Miss on cyl. #8

    Well I fixed my exhaust leak and tried to chase down a missfire. I ran through and disconnected the injectors one at a time looking for a change in the idle. Pulled # 8 and no change. I felt the injector while plugging it back in and felt it start working again, so I moved on to spark. Pulled...

    It's alive!!

    Well after braving the 40 degree air and rain this morning the stang is up and running. There aren't any leaks from what I can tell, except for the EGR hole which blew out its JB weld plug..I'm going to just cap it with a pipe cap. Now it runs great up top but it seems to have a low end miss...

    EGR now gone..few Q's

    Well I fubar'd my EGR tube during the headswap. Although I know there isn't any real performance gains from this I need to figure out how to finish this up. The exhaust manifold and valve have been blocked off. Now for the square sensor that has the vacuum lines going to it. Should I cap these...

    New heads VS Old heads

    Well tomorrow the new heads go on and I get to finally start putting the car back together. Thanks to a donation from the girlfriend I was able to grab a headswap kit (hell yeah) so there won't be any half assing. Here's a shot of the old heads with the nice bent valves :notnice: and a shot of...

    Smoking GT, and a headswap. . .

    Well first tings first. My buddies 98GT is having some issues. On the highway when he downshifts to accellerate hard his car smokes pretty good. It's obviously oil. My question is what is most likely the culprit. It has about 80K on it, he doesn't drive it real hard at all. He is running an open...

    Cam swap. .now it's fubar'd

    Today I changed out my cams. I used a ford cam tool and everything went pretty smooth. When I went to fire it up is when the sh1t hit the fan. It runs like the timing is horribly off. I never let the tension off of the chains and sprockets when swapping the sticks and I used the RH with the RH...

    Turbocharging later model 2.3 Q's. . .

    I've been thinking about picking up a later model 2.3 5spd. (90-93ish) and putting a turbo setup in it. I have seen a lot on the TC engine swaps and whatnot but is it feesible to just put a turbo on the motor and tune it with it's current computer? I ask this because I like the mass air system...

    Installed XE278's, springs, new NPI heads

    I just got done with my install of a slightly used set of ported NPI heads, Mod Max Valve springs, and XE278's. All I can say is WOWOWOWOW!!!!!!!!! This car rocks at idle and once it hits the powerband it hits like a shot of the juice. It revs much more freely and just pulls up to the...

    Car is running REAL RICH!

    Well I went to the track after the PI intake swap. The car felt great but now traction is a problem again. I'll have to re-learn the launch I guess. I gained 2 MPH(93) , my 1/4 was 15.1's and my 60ft's went up to 2.3-2.6. After this my friend came over and told me that the car really left a gas...

    HIGH OIL PRESSURE....

    I just went back out for a sping in my newly modified pwnie and noticed the oil pressure was riding up in the A in NORMAL. It usually hangs out in the R-M area and the oil was changed just last week. Anyone got any ideas? Could "something" be caught in my oil filter causing this? (hopefully...

    PI intake done. . .now I have a fuel leak:(

    I finished the PI int. swap today and after letting it setup and resetting the comp and such I took her out for a ride. It definately has more punch up top and now the motor revs strongly all the way to 6k, unlike the stocker which seemed to die off at like 54-5500ish. Definately can't wait to...

    Need to get rid of a 4.2L

    I have a buddy who has a 4.2 out of his F-150. We did a swap and wants to sell the motor. It's in great shape. I was wondering if anyone knew a good place to sell this motor. I know it's a pretty popular swap into the V6 mustang. Thanks. . .

    CAM INSTALL QUESTION

    I currently have the valve covers off the car and I am finishing the PI intake swap. I have the covers off to scrub them down and replace the gaskets(one side is leaking a bit). I have these PI cams just sitting here and was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to throw these in without...

    Bullitt intake worth it?

    I know on blown applications the Bullitt intake works quite well and it should provide a little gain on stock N/a. Well I was wondering what your thoughts would be on using the Bullitt intake on a N/A headswapped motor with XE270H cams?? Would this be a better choice over say the P-51? Since I...

    Damn weather! .5 at least! ! !

    I was curious what I would my corrected et would be when factoring the weather. I know that my traction problems and that 80MM C&L that USED to be on my car could only improve my times. (Yes I'm still hung up on this, it's all I can think about- I have no life) Well the weather in the almanac...

    Went to the track tonight. . . .

    I ran a 15.40 @ 90.12 MPH 2.18 60ft.(and another 15.4 @ 89 w/ 2.2 60ft) I am still having some traction problems, although the conditions at my track are getting better due to new ownership.
