    okay, so I have an 88 5.0 and I had it rebuilt at a local engine shop. They put in new crank bearings, pistons, rings, had it bored .030 over and it also had an F cam, and mildly ported explore intake and heads. I'm just wondering if the car will run on the stock tune and with being a speed...

    Which clutch?

    Right now, my combo is just a GT 40p HCI but, I am planning to turbo my motor within a year or two so I would like to get a clutch now that will handle the power I plan on producing down the road. What would you guys recommend?

    Pistons?

    I am in the middle of doing a rebuild of my 88 5.0. The cylinder walls in the block are a little rough so it will be getting bored 0.30 over. My plans are to turbo the stock longblock for now while I slowly piece together a stroker over time as funds permit,, and then swap the turbo to the other...

    Motor Rebuild

    Hopefully this is the right place for this. I am basically looking for some knowledge about what to do with my motor, as I don't have a lot of knowledge in this area. I have a 1988 Mustang GT, and I plan on cleaning up the bottom end and leaving it stock other than some new rings. I am looking...

    Harness Mount

    I would like to put a four-point harness in my car, but don't really want to shell out the cash for a roll bar. I have seen that corbeau makes some sort of brace thing that goes behind the quarter windows on the pillar the you mount the harness too. I believe they only make them for 99-04 cars...

    Another wheel thread

    I will be starting to piece together what I need for my five lug swap and I think I want to run 10 inch wide fr-500s out back. Would they fit better in deep-dish or the version with normal amount of dish. Also, ranger or sn95 axles and with what wheel.

The car is an '88 GT if that makes any difference from the newer cars. Is this B.S. or truth because I was really looking forward to trying to...

    This is most likely a dumb question

    Ok, I'm 14 and a lot of this is new to me. So, my car is going in for paint and body work next week. My question is, when people talk about rolling the inner fender lip, is that the little edge when you grab up under the fender that sticks out maybe 1/4" - 1/2". I want to make sure I'm telling...
