    351C - FMX to C4 swap??

    My buddy and I are swapping out his FMX tranny for a C4 to put on his 351C. I've got a few questions though. With the transmission OFF, we were able to turn the motor over (by hand, using the crank pulley) quite easily. With the trans bolted ON, we now cannot turn it over. The odd thing...

    MAF grate..missing??

    It was odd, I never knew about that little grate in the front of the MAF housing until I read about it a while back. I went to look at mine to see if I just didn't remeber correctly if I had one or not and it turned out I didn't even have one at all? :shrug: I wonder how my car passed Ford's...

    Manual fan switch

    I've found a wiring diagram for installing a manual fan switch. The installation is not big deal, but does anyone know if this will cause you to fail visual inspection for any reason?

    Anyone cam swap?

    Just curious if anyone here has done a cam swap. Wanted to have a rough idea of how much the labor is to install it.

    Metallic sound

    Have any of you heard that metallic sound as a car drives by, but it's not while the car is applying it's brakes? If any of you know what I'm talking about..I pulled off my wheels and took a look at my calipers. My pads are fine and neither they nor my rotors are scored, yet there is some odd...

    I Think I Am A Genious!?

    I Think I Am A Genius!? Ok, I think I just figured out how to make a 'homemade ram-air'. I don't want anyone else to try becaues If my idea destroys my engine, I'd rather it be me than you. However, does anyone know if you purchase a 'ram air' kit online, is it just a scoop and hoses, or does...

    Honest question...

    :nonono: I've got a 98' 3.8 vert. Honestly, could I beat civics (of what year range&type) or rsx's, preludes, etc you know what I'm talking about. I know I can't beat much since my only 'performance mod' right now is a drop in K&N. But my 0-60 is like 10 seconds and I believe theirs is faster...

    Antennas

    Does anyone know where and roughly how much a fixed 'shortie' antenna with wound interior coil would cost? I have a 14" billet shortie now but it gets horrible reception and I still don't want to put that stock 3 foot tall rod back on. :notnice:

    Quick, whiny question..

    I hate my engine. I'll lay it out plain and simple. You don't need to go into much detail, but if I COULD get ahold of split port heads and the corresponding intakes from the late model stangs for my 98', would I be able to just basically bolt them all up or is it much more complicated and...

    Sparkplugs?

    :nice: For those of you with experience, I've still got stock plugs. I'll be getting new ones with wires soon. What do you reccomend? And are those NGK plugs any good? Two bucks a plug sounds great..but are they worth it? I was thinking about denso iridum plugs with MSD wires or possibly a...

    Post Your Pointless Comments Here

    Please stop sidetracking all of the threads in the V6 forums; at least stay in the ballpark about what the thread is dealing with. That is 75% of the reason why the whole 'V6 Forums are Dead' thread was started and people left so quickly. It is getting rediculous. This is el thread-o for...

    Lowering = caster/camber

    Roughly how low can you lower your late-model mustang before it needs caster/camber plates. Or do you only know by first hand experience? Specifically for a 1.5" drop, since that seems to be the most popular around here. Downsides to such a modification? Thanks. Please don't make this a...

    AC Condensation

    I've heard about AC condensation dripping onto headers and cracking them after awhile. I heard a hissing after I changed my oil the other week and noticed it myself for once. Should create a makeshift rerouting tube to make sure the water doesn't just dump on my right bank headers or just not...

    K&N oil filter?

    Has anyone here read about the K&N oil filters that are used on our stangs? I can't seem to find any reviews on it anywhere. USUALLY with a car you get what you pay for, but I thought the filter looked pretty decent (I paid $12). What do you all think? :shrug:

    Dead shocks/struts/springs?

    I've been reading posts about shocks/struts and how they go bad around 60-70k. Do you think they (or some other suspension piece) could begin making weird creaking noises about this time? I've always had some odd sounds coming from the back of my car as I drive and have never been able to...

    Oil!!!

    I just changed my oil and put in some Mobil 1 5w-30 (since thats the viscosity that the manual called for, only Motorcraft brand.). However, I went to the Mobil 1 website and they say my car calls for 5w-20 (98' 3.8). I was afraid that I'd burn oil that had too low of a viscosity so I thought...
