Greetings, Long story short, blown head gasket on my '91 GT (on RH side), replacing both... Took LH head off and found some strange marks in cylinder #7. See attached... Scuffs with small gouges in the scuffs. What could cause this? (stock short block, go fast parts, blower... making over...

Greetings, I didn't know what forum to put this in but since I need to paint the rubber trim pieces on the door of my Oxford white '91, I posted it here. Anyway, the rubber trim on the doors of my '91 convertible are in good shape but are yellowed. I want to mask and paint them myself. I have...

Greetings, I have been working on the interior of my ’91 convertible lately and had to put the top down and up a couple times (in freezing weather) without any issues. A few days ago when I tried to put the top down and it wouldn’t go. The relay’s click in both directions but the pump won’t...

Greetings, I have found info on StangNet on how to remove my upper door molding (molding and dew wipe) but not on how to remove the molding and dew wipe at the quarter window. I am hoping I don't have to remove the whole molding that goes all the way around the back of the convertible - but...

Greetings, I added a blower to my '91 and it made 488 hp SAE on the dyno. Needless to say, my 17 year old BFG ZR's won't grip. I want better grip - but not too good - as I have a stock crank, rods and pistons - so I don't want the car to hook like it's on slicks because I'd surely grenade it...

Greetings, Long story short, I added a blower to my modified 5.0. The bottom end (block, crank, rods, pistons) are stock.... My combo made 488.5 RWHP. I know this is too much for the stock bottom end if I want it to live long and I was thinking that the rod bolts were probably the weakest...

Greetings, Long story short, I'm having my blown (Paxton 1220 SL) '91 5.0 (w/ 50k miles) dyno tuned and the tuner said that it made 488 rwhp. From what I've read, that's too much for my stock bottom end. I can have them pull timing and put a bigger pulley on the blower to reduce it. That said...

Greetings, I have a 91 GT Convertible. Oxford white with a white top and white leather interior ('porno' red carpet). I have stock 'star' rims on it now but am considering changing them. I like the Cobra replicas but can't decide if I like chrome, silver or even white. Does anybody have...

Greetings, My uncle has a '73 with a blown up 302 and he bought a 351W to put in it. It came set up for a Fox bodied Mustang so it has the dual sump pan and an oil pump with a long tube to get the pickup in the rear sump... I told him he'd have to change that to a '73 style pan and pump. He...

Greetings, Long story short - junk '73 302 engine in a Mustang, rebuilt '79 351W engine ready to go in. '73 has the 164 tooth, 14.5" flywheel while the '79 has a 157 tooth, 13.25" flywheel I don't want to have to get a new bell housing and starter that would be required to run the '79...

Greetings, I'm debugging my engine and in addition to other problems (other threads), it's running very rich - black soot on the brand new plugs. When I took the head off recently, all the coolant ran down and off the O2 sensor I had out of the exhaust pipe. In addition, a lot of the coolant...

Greetings, Long story short, dropped small metal object down intake runner #1. Turned engine to TDC #1, and then a full rotation to get to TDC w/ valves closed. Had to take the head off to get the part out. After reassembled, did compression and then leak down and found that while...

Greetings, Can someone please list all the things I'd need to do if I want to put a late 80's/early 90's 5.0 in a '73 in place of the stock 302? The original '73 302 is junk and instead of getting another early 302 long block, how hard would it be to use a 5.0 (w/ roller cam) and use it in the...

Greetings, Long story short (...small object fell down intake into #1 cylinder) - I had to replace my right side head gasket and the intake gasket on my '91 and when I started it up the first time, quite a bit of water is coming out of the right side exhaust. I'd guess I'm getting a cup of...

I recently put a set of '95 rails on my '91 for the additional fuel flow potential and I'm finding that due to the different position and angle of the fuel inlet on the '95 rails, my stock '91 fuel line won't fit (the oil fill tube is right in the way). I tried to bend my stock tube with a...

My water pump gasket has leaked a little - mostly in the winter - since I installed it 10 years ago. I've got the thing torn down for other reasons (another thread) so I'm going to install fresh gaskets. I got the pump off and the plate that seals that back side is a little pitted (and may...

Greetings, Long story short, I dropped a fuel injector down my lower intake and in the process of trying to get it out with one of those little spring loaded finger tools, ( http://www.harborfreight.com/24-inch-2-in-1-pickup-tool-94162.html )the tool came apart and now I can only find 1/2 the...

Greetings, My uncle just picked up a '73 with a 302 and it's missing its carburator. Can someone tell me which one it had? He said the PO told him that the carb was changed from a 500 cfm to a 300 cfm and that's why the hp rating was only 140 (instead of 210). I'm guessing it gets an Autolite...

I installed my new pilot bearing a little past flush with the end of the crank. I didn't figure it would be a big issue but I keep worrying about it. I have the transmission in and when I put it back, I had trouble getting it all the way in. It stopped about 1/2" out - and I figure this is...

Greetings, Can someone who has some experience installing clutches let me know if I did this right (assembly and grease placement)? I think I did but I just need some confirmation for my peace of mind. A big concern I have is that the springs on the back of the fork don't really do anything to...
