    StangNet '11 5.0 Notch Project

    Nice. Looks like plenty of clearance in the pic. I am getting more interested in the 5.0C swap now that there is a proposed Coyote racing class coming to NMRA... (maybe) Spec Engine Drag Racing - Coyote Stock - Yellow Bullet Forums

    Ford CPO for Late Model Mustang a Joke?

    I just got a quote yesterday on a 2011 GT with the automatic and security package. After the rebate and A plan it was $ 27,835 before registration and 6 % KY sales tax. $ 29,700 on the road. At another dealer (not a Ford dealer) , they had a used 2010 GT -4K miles & automatic with a...

    StangNet '11 5.0 Notch Project

    Sounds good. Have you tried offset rack bushings ? I used those on my 460 swap to set the engine down even more.

    StangNet '11 5.0 Notch Project

    Good info for sure! After looking at the pics, I see what you are saying about a special Fox body k-member will be needed. When I put a 460 in my 87 Turbo Coupe I shoved it all the way back in the car. (with custom mounts) I don't think I could move that 5.0 back far enough to clear that...

    StangNet '11 5.0 Notch Project

    Good point Mike! I had wondered how hard it would be to cut the 4.6 flanges off a set of headers and fab up some 5.0 Coyote flange plates ? ( not sure anyone makes the flange plates yet tho) Of course there are these questions: Is the exhuast port departure angle different from the 4.6 ...

    Is the 302 too out of date? Obsolete? Should the sn95 guys bail?

    I agree. Every time a new model vehicle comes out, I wonder what it would be like to be the first on the block with one. Then, after that model has been out about 2 years and everyone has one, the newness wears off. Yes, it will always be cheaper to make more power with a used car than a...

    Sapphire Blue Stangs

    Updates: Here are some pics of the 2nd Saphire Blue 95 GT that I bought in Dec. 2008. I has lowering springs and underdrive pulleys and blowmasters. I auto-crossed it twice last year and found out the car really needs alot of updates to even be competitive. Tires are rock hard, so it...

    Good places for crate engines

    I got all excited about that ad until I read that it requires the use of special heads....bummer. "Designed for M-6049-X306//X307/C3/D3/Z304DA cylinder heads. Not designed for production 302/351W or M-6049-Y302/Y303/X302/X303/X304/X305 cylinder heads"

    Is the 302 too out of date? Obsolete? Should the sn95 guys bail?

    In answer to the OP question : I feel "old" with my 105K mile 95 Saphire Blue GT , but then again I bought it for 1/4th what it cost new, and was in great condition. It's not as fast as a new one, but there are plenty of aftermarket companies that can fix that. With the 2011 GT coming...

    Sapphire Blue Stangs

    Well, I bought another Saphire Blue 95 GT 5 speed yesterday. ( our 2nd) Car has been lowered 2 inches but rides nice. Paint is in very good shape. I want to auto-cross this car next year. I'll post some pics when the snow melts off of it.

    2010 Stang 80 Pics

    Good points. However, if I am not mistaken, don't the V-6 cars outsell the V-8 cars ? Alot of people buy V-6 cars because they CANNOT afford V-8 GTs. The Camaro is reported to be available with a 300 hp V-6. All motor, not turbo. If GM prices their "entry level" Camaro similar to Ford's V-6...

    Sapphire Blue Stangs

    We used to have a 95 GT Saphire Blue. Pic of it: I am going to look at another 95 GT same color this weekend. I love that color. Below link: Here is the most incredible of all the Saphire Blue 95 GT Mustangs. Car pegged the dyno at 1,000 rwhp in KY in 2006. The Kentucky owner...

    Kaase-9 Boss mustang started today, 4/11/08, with pix, #2

    Imagine how much more stealth that car would be if it were a Black 08 Bullitt ? He got the air cleaner to clear the factory hood ! here's the link to his site: Jon Kaase Racing Engines - Kaase Boss Nine 589 c.i. 2008 GT Mustang

    Employee Pricing on Bullitt

    There is a 2008 Black Bullitt here locally w/ 6k miles advertised for 24,995 at a dealer. It seems like a good price to me. Would love to have it.

    2010 Stang 80 Pics

    The front shots of the red V-6 car kind of looks like a combo of 05-09 and 03-04 Cobra with the bulging fenders. Looks cool tho. The overall look of the 2010 looks "smaller" from front to rear. Ford should offer a 'no frills" V-6 car without sound deadener and all the extra weight crap...

    460 in my vert

    As far as space in the engine compartment, check out the photos of my 87 Maroon Turbo Coupe 460 install and the 460 in our 83 Gray T-Bird. The TC 460 sits one inch lower in the car than the Gray Bird. Of course the TC has one-off special solid mounts and 1/2 k-frame spacers. Clears the...

    Some Info On the Good Old BBF 460

    ExplodingGopher: That is one wicked looking Stang ! I have done 3 Fox 460 Swaps but my latest is my best. I managed to get everything to clear the most difficult hood to use...the 87-88 Turbo-Coupe. I even have a 1/2 inch plate under the card to boot. Your Mustang looks just awesome!!
