    SN95 Alternator Bracket

    Hello Stinkin, I resolved this issue in about 30minutes about 4 days ago when I used Canton tall valve forged aluminum VC's. It is a sure fire way. So follow my lead. If you want proof,pic -> http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/840173-sometimes-u-jus-hav-2-do-urself-351w-build.html...

    So word to the wise, anyone using Canton Tall Valve Covers on a 95 mustang, be ready for a alternator fun time trip. I ended up taking apart the alternator and rotating it 2 turns counter clockwise so that the electrical connector wasnt resting on the vc's. Then proceeded to grind off all the...

    Indeed, pump gas street machine was the overall theme of this build. I couldn't bring myself to make an all out track/strip car with the amount of city driving I do. I'm jealous of the k member, i shouldve done that this time around. That's gonna be either the next phase or possibly a brake...

    Compression I'm at 9.4:1. As for the hood, I used the Ford replacement for the '95 Cobra R which measured out to give me about 1in of clearence. P/N FMS-M-16612-R58 $489.95. I love the redneck giant cowl hood, but the gf says its too redneck, so clean cobra R it had to be, which...

    Thanks Pro. Yea it was an uncomfortable feeling seeing the "final total" but also kind of fun diggin up all the old receipts and gettin things organized. I even cleaned my garage after I got the motor in, spiderwebs seemed to be holding my car to the floor. As for tuning im stickin with the...

The sexyass UPS man walkin to my door didnt wear a red jacket but he did carry with him a big shiny cardboard box that said summit on it, I knew I was callin into work today. "Cough, cough, Im not feelin so good, need to stay home," and off I went, into the cave, music on...

    Also changed in 2008 in CA, all catalytic converters must be in their original stock locations and correct numbers MEANING the factory 4 cats that come stock on our beautiful 5.0s must be there, no 2 cat custom 351 exhaust business(which of course I have)...I hate to blame a certain group of...

    So went to my 3rd smog shop today...another $25 for a 1 day registration from DMV, the guy there told me the same exact thing. The second they see the heads and the intake manifolds they start checking numbers (California Air Resource Board #s, CARB) my heads are unfortunately illegal for CA and...

    Well, this is it. The beautiful 95gt has to go. Bought the car when I was in high school, during that time I thought it would be a good idea to put a 351w in it, trick it all out, litterally (trickflow everything) everything from gears, driveshaft, numerous exhausts, computer tunes, you name it...
