    Engine 96-04 still a good platform?

    This is my first post in about 15+ years! HAHA! I used to have a 96 GT, 5 spd with the following mods (if I can still remember them!).... 3.55, s/f connectors, lowering springs, underdrive pulleys, steeda short throw shifter, WMS CAI and bigger MAF, MAC catted H-pipe and a MAC catback. I...

    Swapping in a newer 5.0 EFI

    What is involved in switching from a SD 5.0 EFI to a newer MAF 5.0? What parts would be needed? I'm not talking about just switching it to MAF but removing the entire engine. It's an 86 GT with flat top pistons and not many head options, and I'd be interested in swapping in a newer one, with...

    E6 heads

    Yes I know the heads on 86 GT's suck and that the only aftermarket option is the Trickflow heads. Since they're pretty expensive though is there anything to be had by porting or gasket matching the stock E6 heads? 5hp? 10hp? Do you think the car would need to be switched to MAF for this? It...

    Where to buy convertible parts

    Where can I get the piece of molding that goes along the outside, top section of the windshield on an 86 GT Conv? I believe it's 2 pieces. We checked the dealer about 2 years ago and they wanted some insane price.

    What size fuel pump?

    The fuel pump on the 86 GT has gone bad. The car is currently at my fathers place and he'll be changing the pump in the spring. What size pump should we go with? The limited mods it has are listed below...

    86 GT Convertible

    86 GT Convertible (intake and heads Q's) I owned this car about 10 years ago and my father bought it off me when I got my 96 GT. If I’m able to get a garage built at my house then I was told I could have it back since it has basically just sat for the last several years in his garage and...

    4.6 reliability and peformance over the years

    I've been out of the Mustang scene for a while now but am hoping in the next few years to pick a used one up to have something fun to drive. My first Mustang was a 86 GT Convertible and the second was a 96 GT. I much preferred the 4.6 over the 5.0 because I found it much smoother. At the...

    Traction control and winter driving

    What year did traction control start in the 4.6 GT's? Was it standard? How do they handle in the winter with TC? I had a 96GT and it was absolutely hopeless anytime the roads even a dusting. Was TC available on the V6's?

    Any aftermarket support yet?

    I used to have a 96GT and at the time there were next to no aftermarket parts for it. I had the usual done to it.... gears, exhaust, CAI, MAF, subframes, shifter, pulleys. I sold the car about 4 years ago. Has the aftermarket picked up for these cars? Does anyone make heads or intake for...

    Sssshhhh, keep it down

    Will this mean the end of Fredericton's Thursday night car gatherings by the river??? Assuming they are still going on because I haven't lived there in 2 years. I admit that there are some cars that are too loud but where do you draw the line? Any aftermarket exhaust? :notnice...

    Questions about V6 mustangs

    Hi there, I'm thinking about coming back to the world of Mustangs. I used to have a 96GT and sold and it got a 00 Jetta because I needed something I could drive year round and that was good on gas. Good car but very slow and lately have been running into some reliability problems. If I get...

    Question about car registration

    I just moved from Fredericton, NB to Calgary. My NB registration expires Sept 15/04 my inspection is up the end of Sept as well. My insurance is good until mid November though. I'm not sure how I should handle this. If I go ahead and pay my NB registration, is that the thing where they send me...

    Montreal Tunnel.....

    I am moving from Fredericton, NB to Calgary, AB on July 30. Our first stop will be in Ottawa. I've never driven through Montreal but have bad memories of it from when I was a kid driving through there with my parents. It doesn't look too bad on the map but I just have a question. I would be...

    Calgary - Telus or Rogers cell phone?

    I'm going to be moving from NB to Calgary in the next month or so. I'm going to get a cell phone here before I leave with a Calgary # so that I can have it on the drive out as well as when I'm living there. Who has the best coverage in Calgary? Telus or Rogers? Are there any other cell phone...
