    What ifs.......

    Ford has dumped tons of cash into the Shelby GT500 project, and in turn rumors have been rampant about them dropping other special editions such as Bullet, Mach, etc..... Back in 1984, Ford got some of the biggest gearheads together along with some highly paid turbocharger experts, and...

    93 2.3 wheres the fan switch?

    Replaced the temp sensor and rewired the fan (was rigged when I got it to run off the Wiper motor hot lead), but fan fails to come on. I know it works because I tested it. So where is the fan switch on these things?

    help me with my brakes

    Ok, I swapped to Ranger Rotors out front and drums in the back in order to swap to a set of 1995 GT 17s I had. The end result is that the car has horrible stopping power. I am looking to upgrade to 95 Cobra brakes. I know I need SN95 Spindles and will be getting new struts. What lines...

    read something funny

    I was reading an article on the new Caterham seven replica, it's powered by a ford 2.3L naturally aspirated engine making 300 hp. Then it said it was based on the ranger block found here, with a heavily revised head. I was like WTF????? How can these guys pull 300 hp from this thing...

    Rev higher?

    I have a 93 LX 2.3L, it is pretty tired and has about 95k miles on it. I am thinking about a rebuild for it including new pistons to go forged and prepare it for a turbo later. So, I am wondering what it takes to get the Rev limit to 6-7k. Right now it is like 4500 before it hits a wall. Is...

    Chicago drivers, can I borrow your car? Just read

    ok, I don't want to drive it, I just need to take the wheels off, and take some measurements. I found a manufacturer who can supply a set of 14 inch two piece rotos for the fronts and 6 piston calipers, and a set of 11-12 inch 2 piece rotors for the rears and 2-4 piston calipers to match...

    North Chicago Machine Shops

    Which is the best, with good pricing, customer service. Not sure what direction I will end up going, but this is one thought..... Thinking about a 302 stroked to 331. Will be going Fuel Injected, no nitrous and no forced induction. So cast or Hyper. pistons with up to 10:0 to 1 CR will do, a...

    NA 2.3L performance

    Ok, I am wondering what kind of things I can do to my dual plug 2.3L to get some more performance. I know CAI header and Ranger cam are all good ideas, but what kind of power would that get me? If I am going to swap in a Turbo motor, why not just go 5.0? They have stroker kits for...

    Coil spring didn't seat properly.....

    I had a broken front spring, put in a used one with a coil clamp, but it was about 1-1.5" past the groove for the bottom. Is there any "easy" way to turn the spring while it is in? That is without removing it or re-using the clamp. The clamp was a major P.I.T.A. and had to disassemble it to...

    Want forced induction?

    Most of us know that the 05 V6 is limited by it's higher compression and pistons that are not forged, but several examples have already been boosted to about 9 lbs. If someone were to offer a kit for FI to 8 lbs out of the box, what would you want in that kit, and what would is the price it...

    Chicago Area 05+ drivers, where you at?

    Looking for a couple of 2005 Mustang drivers to "talk" to this winter. I need someone with a V6 (preferably manual tranny) and one with a GT manual. Both must be interested in Forced Induction and able to have their car laid up for a few weeks. I am not able to go into more detail...
