    Anyone know where to get new frame rails?

    The new owner of my 5.0 called today and said he found that the rear frame rails are rotted out. This is very bad for me, because either the shop that does my safeties goes down, or I have to buy my car back. I don't want either to happen. I need replacement rear frame rails. Any help would be...

    Said my last goodbye to my 5.0 tonight

    Just watched my 5.0 drive away with its new owner, and although it may be surprising to some people, it hurt when I saw it leave. I thought it would be painless. Bought her in sad, sad shape in 2003 when I was 15 for $1200, sight unseen. She was a 1988 GT hatchback, Oxford white with Scarlet...

    AODs can, too!

    Yep, just came back from the track with my AOD GT hatch. It has 3.73s, a shift kit, 3000 stall and the FRPP wide ratio gears. My best run of the day (coincidentally, my first run at a track ever) was: 14.3999 @ 92.01 (it short shifted into OD at the 1100' mark) 1.9768 60' I'm pretty proud of...

    Torque Converter changed - problems

    I just had a shop with a very good reputation install a used TCI 3000 RPM stall, lockup converter in my 1988 GT. Before the installation, the converter was checked for any flaws. I just moved up from a 2200 RPM converter, and before that from stock. This change however was bad. It studders...

    Tweecer newbie question

    I just switched from my stock injectors to 30#ers with a calibrated C&L 80mm mass air unit. I also just converted to mass air using a stock harness from a mass air car, and I also just converted to a Cobra intake. Since I did all of that, it runs like crap. How can I keep it from running pig rich?

    Quick Injector question

    I just swapped my stock intake over to a Cobra intake, and converted my '88 AOD GT from SD to MAF by using a complete engine harness from an '89 GT. In less than 2 weeks I'll be done throwing a ProCharger P600B on my car (I'll be running 9-11 psi), so I put on my 30lb. injectors and calibrated...

    Help - losing my religion

    Last night I was at the local 7-11 thumbing through the 5.0&SF and MM&FF mags just so I knew I wasn't wasting my money if I bought them, and it hit me. For the first time in a long time, I did not feel the need to buy a magazine at all. I put the magazines back on the shelf and left, something I...

    Help me find a cam!

    I'd like to find an off-the-shelf cam to use this year in my 1988 Mustang GT, because next year I'm going to drop big bucks and build a big engine. I've got a stock longblock that may have a longrod combo, compression around 8.5 to 9.0. The car has a 3000 RPM stall TCI Street Fighter converter...

    Fuel system suggestions needed!

    I have a stock 1988 5.0 GT. Recently through the magic of eBay I acquired a ProCharger P600B with 30lb. injectors and a calibrated 80mm C&L mass air meter for a fantastic price. Since my car is bone stock (save for a Cobra intake and Bassani EL headers & X-pipe), what should I do with...

    SN95 Exhaust compatible with Fox?

    A friend of mine is upgrading his exhaust system and he is giving me a killer deal on his Bassani system. Keep in mind his car is a '94 or '95 5.0..would the catback and x-pipe fit my '88 GT? If not, what modifications need to be done?

    What's the tube size of a Borla catback?

    I'm looking at a Borla catback, but the owner is 1000% positive that it has 2.25" tubing. If the size really is 2.25", then what would be the point of buying a Borla catback? The mandrel bending won't add as much power as advertised, would it?

    A few nitrous questions

    I'm seriously considering putting a 125HP shot of NOS (Holley) into my stock engined 5.0, but I have a couple of questions first. 1) Can I hide a 10 lb. bottle under the spare tire cover? Hiding everything else is easy, and I really want a sleeper. 2) How long does a full 10 lb. bottle...

    Are dumps legal?

    Since I'm looking for a mean exhaust system, I was thinking of going with either a MAC or Flowmaster Dump system, with an off-road H-pipe (no emissions testing in Manitoba), along with either equal lengths or longtubes. Here's where I hit the snag. Are either the 3" Flowmaster exhaust system...

    Can anyone identify these wheels?

    They have an American Racing centercap, but I don't think anything on the wheels says AR. They have 15x7 cast in, and a Ford bolt pattern. Any clues? If the image doesn't work, and typing in the URL doesn't work, try the album. ALBUM

    Saleen Eagle 1?

    When I saw this auction, I immediately thought :bs: Eagle 1 Mustang What makes it a genuine Saleen? The very new strut bar? The windshield banner? The dash emblem? The license plate frame? Also, why is it riding on the 1996? Cobra wheels with a 5-lug conversion? I smell BS. He won't even...
