I just got my Gt40p Heads, FR headers, and Typhoon intake manifold installed. Had a CAI and TB spacer installed before these goodies. Anyway, the car really doesn't have any power between 2.5k-3.5k RPM. This morning the car actually jerked forward because of the lack of power, but picked back up...

Update: Guys at my shop say HO valvetrain is better than 40p valvetrain... However they said not to run really any type of cam other than stock.

Yea... But I got this car for 1700 bucks and I drive it daily. Will never see any type of track. Just wanted a comfortable relatively fast cruiser. Granted I came from a jeep wrangler... So I can't really see myself throwing over a grand into the braking system on this thing. Overkill for my...

So before you all say go with 5 lug... I'm not. I can't justify the cost of them and for what I do with my car the 4 lugs are just fine. Besides, the rims that came with the car are look good (saleens). So, Going with some brakepads, new shoes for the rear drums... latemodelrestoration sells...

I'm getting my 40p heads installed next week. Using my stock e7 valvetrain and stock HO cam. Will add goodies later down the road, but just want the heads in now.

What about aftermarket rims? 4.5 inch backspacing is something I'm probably going to have to stick with... Nothing over 8 inches in width, right?

Hey guys... I'm doing a budget 5 lug swap using latermodelrestoration's budget 5 lug swap kit. Will the 1998 GT rims fit on my 93 Fox with the 5 lug swap? Here's a picture of the rims I want to buy.... 1998 Ford Mustang GT tires and rims Thanks guys.

Yes, over the gt40p's with the settup I will be going with. I have no doubt the afr's are better and can make more power, but I'm going with a mild cam, gt40 intake manifolds, and shorty headers and a stock bottom end. The aluminum heads (IMO) would be overkill. 1400 bucks for a set of heads on...

So I wound up getting the gt40p's. I got them for a hair over 300 shipped. The heads were recently refreshed at a head shop. Never been installed since head work... They have a 3 angle job and that's all I know of so far. Like I said they are assembled... Valves, retainers, springs. What else...

I'm about to snag a nice pair of gt40p heads. They were sent to the shop and had a 3angle valve job. Fully assembled with the exception of rockers, head bolts, and pushrods. With that said, my current 5.0 has some basic boltons and a chip. My questions are: If I get the heads, do I need to...

Any guides on said modifications? There are almost none floating around for brake conversions... And if they are they are vague and incomplete.

It's time to my brakes to be replaced, but instead of just putting new rotors and pads, I'm going to go with a 5 lug conversion... I do have some questions (yea, I've done my reasearch). I can't afford to do the rear discs just yet, so a rear drum kit from latemodelresto will suffice. From...

I've got a 66 Mustang. 289, T5 and cobra disc brakes so far. Everything else is mostly stock. I was expecting the braking power on these disc brakes up front to be better. They are fine, but not great. What are some ways that I can improve braking? The brakes were installed at a reputable...

I'm attempting a disc brake install on my 66 mustang. I've got the discs installed, but I'm caught up on the master cylinder and prop valve install. Does anyone have any pictures or diagrams of where/how to install the prop valve? I'm assuming the hard brake lines are coming from the stock...

Bingo. I've heard 400 hp cars before and that doesn't sound like a 400 hp car. :)

Vinyl, I saw your post on OT. Nice times bro!

Because I posted this first in the for sale section... :rlaugh: Forgive me if this question has been asked. I just need some clarification. I've got a 66 Mustang. C code 289 with a 3 speed. What all do I need to convert to a 4 speed? Also, which transmissions will fit? Anything with a RUG...

Forgive me if this question has been asked. I just need some clarification. I've got a 66 Mustang. C code 289 with a 3 speed. What all do I need to convert to a 4 speed? Also, which transmissions will fit? Anything with a RUG code, and close ratios, correct? I have come across one with the...

Bump. Any more suggestions guys?

So the next few projects for the Mustang are slowly beginning to get underway. I've got some Baer track brakes sitting in the garage along with some Falken rt-615's. I believe the size is 225/45/16. Don't quote me on that... Anyhow, any good (cheap) rims that are 16x8? I've got a 66...
