    I bought a autoloc shaved door kit from the hoffmangroup.com & I was getting it installed by someone else when he called me up & said the 40lb solenoids were to big to fit in my door & the window wouldn't go down all the way. Has anyone on here put a shaved door kit on a fox? If so what kind? I...

    Engine Rebuild books?

    I already have the service manuals. And I know there are tons of books out there on the 5.0, but I figured there are better books than others. I just don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on books when I can just get 1 or 2. That's why I was asking if anyone could recommend a couple.

    Engine Rebuild books?

    I have a 88 that I want to put a new engine in. I'm a novice when it comes to building an engine and what parts I need, but I have good mechanical skills. So I was wondering if there is a book out there that someone thinks might be useful for a first time engine builder.
