    Drivetrain T5 - lost 2nd gear, then lost 3rd?

    When I put it in second now, the engine revs but the car won’t move. I’m hearing noises when I try third gear. Appears to have grenaded.

    Drivetrain T5 - lost 2nd gear, then lost 3rd?

    Hi all. I was cruising in stop and go traffic and all of a sudden my T5 starts popping out of 2nd gear. I wasn’t hammering it, then a couple of minutes later it starts popping out of 3rd. If I try to shift into 2nd now it starts grinding and pops out, and still popping out of 3rd. What’s going...

    max hp on a stock block

    Anything over 450rwhp on a stock 302 and you're basically living on a prayer. Have they lasted years? Yes. Have they split on stock power? Most definitely. Revs will kill it. Keep the revs down and a safe tune and you could very well go a few years. If you're building something that will be...

    So why did this catch on fire? ... again.

    Did the fuse blow? Did you keep reusing the same fuse holder? I'm guessing the cheap china made fuse never blew. Regardless, even if the fuse blows, the bit of wire on the alternator side is still unprotected (so is the bit after the fuse incidently) which is what you saw when it melted the...

    Dash Speaker Replacement

    I still recommend staying away from ebay. Example, I bought an older fosgate 5 channel amp off a very reputable seller. Amp was working just as described. Amp worked for two years because I never bothered to hook up the subwoofer channel to a sub. Hooked it up and it lasted 2 days. It seems...

    Dash Speaker Replacement

    Not for used amps it isn't!!! You're better off finding one locally. Most, and I said most not all, used amps on ebay have had every joe hackjob shoemaker have a go at repairing them. I've bought quite a few amps on ebay and ALL had had work done at some point or another. Plus, used amps, the...

    PLEASE HELP!!!

    They had to break a window to gain access to a fox? lol. Retards. All it takes is a screwdriver, no marks, no mess. A couple of young punks, no doubt. How do you know if was the quarter window they broke?

    why do you drive a fox?

    It's easier for me, being born in the 70's, to appreciate a 60's era mustang, than it is for someone born in the 90's to appreciate a fox. I guess you just have had to live in the era.

    why do you drive a fox?

    One reason: soul. Hard to explain really, but haven't felt that sensation in any other vehicle.

    Should I Replace Explorer with Cobra Intake?

    Yeah, there made in China now. Design flaws cause it to suck up oil through the PCV. FRPP will supply a larger oil baffle to combat this. I would still say to stay away.

    Getting ready to build my 5.0...some questions

    Were those my words? Sure, on an engine dyno, with near perfect conditions, and an engine tuned to the brink of destruction, might yield those results, but are these real world scenarios? NO! There's not one guy in here with an HCI 306 making anywhere near 400rwhp. Maybe 320 or so, as Kevin...

    Getting ready to build my 5.0...some questions

    My post said 400rwhp. Most people, when speaking of HP, usually mean HP measured AT THE WHEELS. In which case, slapping on a set of heads and rockers, I don't care what brand, won't get a 302/306 in the 400rwhp range in a mustang.

    Getting ready to build my 5.0...some questions

    Are we talking 400rwhp? Not gonna happen with a N/A 306. What's your budget? A stroker build is gonna cost some. Figure out what you want to spend. Spraying would be the cheapest way. The T5 may hold if you don't plan on powershifting.

    what to look for when buying a 87-93 mustang gt?

    The bodies are as flexible as a Chinese gymnast. If the car does not have subframe connectors then I would pay very close attention to how straight the body is. Look at the body lines and gaps (around doors, fenders, etc) for proper spacing and fitment. Have a good look under the car and pay...
