    FS: 88 HB - Best Offer

    I've owned this car since purchasing it brand new from a Florida dealer in Aug 1988. It needs a hood, header panel, headlight kit, fender and paint. I'm at the point where I don't want to fix it so I am looking for a new home for it. Don't waste my time or yours with ridiculous offers. I won't...

    body parts?

    Thanks to an unexpected FHP turnpike u-turn and some well used calipers I am in need of a few parts. Hood, fender, bumper cover etc. So will a hood from the same era GT work? I plan on going to the junk yards to get what I need. I know I'll need LX fenders and bumper cover but what about...

    Brake ?

    What if anything can be done to improve the fox braking system? I upgraded my rotors and pads and put on new shoes for the rear. My biggest problem is that the front breaks are prone to lock up if a sudden stop is required.

    Rear end problem

    I had my rear end rebuilt and added a 3.73 ford gear set. I have 650 miles on axle now. It doesn't make any noise while under load, but when you let off the accelerator to change gears or come to a stop, there is noticeable whine type noise from the rear end. It doesn't do it if you are under 25...

    Exhaust opinion

    My OEM tailpipes fit closer to the quarter panels now that I changed to BBK shorties and X pipe. I am thinking of swapping up to larger 2.5 tailpipes and getting some new mufflers. Hopefully that will lower them back to normal Ford Racing has a catback system available now, anyone using it...

    Running rich, bad fuel injectors?

    I recently started my rebuilt engine and have it just about dialed in. Found a few vacuum leaks and that the plugs were not gapped right. Fixed those, but I still am getting a black sooty residue out of the exhaust and the brand new plugs were covered with soot. My builder cleaned the fuel...

    Finally fired it up

    Today I got the engine started after the rebuild project. Have to dial in the timing now, but overall it sounds badass. Can't wait to drive it. The tailpipes are sitting too high with the BBK X pipe. Going to have to play with the hangers or have something custom made. Still have to get...

    Making good progress

    Today I put my exhaust back together. Added the catless BBK X-pipe. Had to reposition the hangers and massage it in to place. I used two inch stainless steel bolts. 3 inchers would have made the whole process quicker. So the engine, transmission, rear axle, and exhaust are all in place...

    What am I doing wrong-quadrant removal?

    Today, I decided to tackle the speedometer cable removal and installation. I an wrapping up my rebuild project. I got the console out of the way and will have no problem putting the cable. It just isn't as easy as reading stuff online would lead you to believe. But its not impossible...

    Will this work with X-pipe?

    I removed my stock H pipe. Putting on an X pipe in its place. Can I use the HELP anti-fouler plug trick with the O2's and not get a CEL? If not, what do you need to eliminate the CEL? Thanks.

    heater core pipe?

    Is it a bad sign if one of the two pipes sticking out of the firewall has more free play in it than the other. I am in the process of getting my car up and running and noticed that the inner pipe moved around more than the outer when I was connecting the new hose. The heater core did not leak...

    Engine-transmission are in the car

    Installed my rebuilt engine and transmission today. Fairly straightforward job. Had a engine hoist and transmission jack. The only tough part was wrestling in the drivers side mount. There was a little stud that didn't want to go right in. Ended up loosening the mount from the block and...

    Break in tips.

    I am going to pick up my engine from the builder soon and drop it in. What are some tips for start up and break in. The engine will have Valvevoline 10W30 in it. I am planning to change that at or before 500 miles. What RPM range is appropriate for a roller cam engine break in? Should I...

    I am in the process of assembling my car after a rebuild project. Currently it has 2 1/4 2 chamber flowmasters on it. I have a set of BBK shorties on the rebuilt block and their X pipe. Whats the disadvantage to running the car with a 2.5" X pipe into 2.25" catback? I have already spent more...

    My stock 60mm spacer is toast. It would not come off the manifold after 197,200+miles. Can I use the FRPP 65mm EGR spacer with my 60mm Throttlebody and will it have any adverse effects this way?
