I just had my second blow plug blow. I'd stick with the 13lb idea, since mine were changed and torqued like every other head in the history of motors. They were not the finger-tight 13lbs. This is dumb. Mmm, Fox Lake...

Thanks for the depressing info BCB! And sorry for missing that VERY obvious post about the same issue SVT...I can't get the search to work right....probably a post on that too! haha Well, as soon as the car is back from the body shop, thanks to the OK ice storm, and I paint 'er up that swap is...

Hey all, I've got an '02 GT that rarely sees the drags, and my roommate has an '03 Cobra pushing over 650 to the wheels, so we're doing the IRS swap. He's taking my Auburn Pro/3.90/Moser rear end, and I'm taking his IRS with 3.55s. There's the info; here's the issue: I have Brembo slotted and...

Okay Bob, please don't get smart. A mechanic told me that it wouldn't hurt it for "only" a week. Bad advisement. I appreciate all the information and opinions, and have learned something that was different from what I was originally told. This is my first car in 6 years since my '69...

I checked the fluid and it was good. I know the car isn't made to run on different size tires; no choice for the week, but that shouldn't kill a rear end. Maybe Auburn does suck.

My '02 has 3.90's and an Auburn Pro rear end, and I'm getting some traction issues. I'm getting a "one wheel peel" on right hand turns unless I'm really throttling down on it, but good limited-slip on the left turns. One tire went low on air a while back and I had to drive on it for about 5...

Found a deal on 255/40/17 Nittos. I'm pairing them up with 275/40/17 in the back again...great tires! Does anyone know how much of a difference the 40 aspect ratio will have compared to the 45? (Actual sight, not theory) Not a big fan of bad tire sizes on cars. Thanks

I have brembo slottd and cross drilled rotors, and used to have on Hawk pads. They worked great, but the rear pads were noisy; could have been the slots and holes, but I replaced them with lifetime pads from O'Reilly's and there's no difference for the street once you have good rotors. Hawks...

No trunk?

Well, thanks you you jerks I realize the 4.6 swap looks like it'll take longer than I'd like on this project...down the road though, it'll happen. In the meantime I found a complete, running 1985 5.0 Cougar with about 130k to possibly serve as a donor of many parts, and I am now embarking on...

I can see from the project that Reen did on the 'vert it's quite a project, no doubt:hail2: ...still reading it all. My rear end would be leaf springs and disc brakes, and the Heidt's kit up front. My major reasoning for dropping in the 4.6 is that I drive about 4-500 miles a week, and while I...

Hey all! It's come down to this: I've been cheating on my '69 Sportsroof :nonono: with my '02 GT...sad. It's time to get back down to my real high school sweetheart and part with the newbie. Since the '02 spoiled me, I'm going to drop a 4.6 5-speed in place of the 302 C4. Has anyone here...

My '02 GT has done this a few times. Tapping on the bottom of the door, and slamming the door, as previously stated, have both helped for me in the past. One other option is to take the door panel off, remove the bolts for the motor enough to disengage it from the window, hit the switch to...

Thanks guys, I'll get back to you when I've got some good news!

Hey guys, I've got Fox Lake Stage 2 heads and Comp Cams XE262AH (.545 lift, Avg dur: @ .006- Int/Exh= 261/265, @ .050- 226/230). My family has never had a car in the shop, and have worked on everything from Mustangs to Mazdas, motorhomes to motorcycles. Is this something that i could be able...
