    Engine 92 Thunderbird Engine Swap

    no. it's not an H.O. engine. but it can be kinda easily though. Yes, it'll swap right in as long as you use the mustangs engine mounts and headers. BUT you have to swap the cam out to get the correct firing order. if it's already out, then now is the perfect time to swap in a aftermarket cam...

    Swapping A 440 Mopar Into A Foxbody?

    I Have two 302's laying around. one in pieces(will eventually become a 331) and the other assembled(albeit a stock 84 engine but it still runs). I just don't have a working transmission. and I'd like to keep it a manual for the ford engines. The 440 swap was just something that I thought was...

    Swapping A 440 Mopar Into A Foxbody?

    So, I have my 88 LX 5.0 that's been sitting for a couple of years since I blew up the trans and wasted the engine(long story). And I've really been itching to get her back up and running. Well, I also just so happen to have a Mopar 440 with a matching auto trans bolted up to it that's just...

    Engine Engine Dieseling When Turned Off

    so, let me see if I understand correctly, you shut the car off and it continues to run? I don't really think timing would have much to contribute on it's own. regardless, you should retard the timing a bit if you're going that big of a jump in fuel. but, when I hear dieseling in gasser...

    Blown The Motor. Time For Some Things New

    So. I managed to blown the T-5 AND the 5.0 in my 88 Hatch awhile back at the same time. So. My question. What should I stuff between the strut towers now that she's just sitting in my drive as a roller? I've been playing with doing a 331 stroker or a mod motor swap. I've never messed with a...

    Carbed 88 5.0 Weird Oil Psi???

    when i'm cruising on the freeway the oil pressure gets all cattywampus on me. at throttle the oil psi drops and at off throttle it raises. it's a 10 psi variance between 20 and 30 psi. when i got off the freeway sitting at idle oil pressure dropped to 11psi. letting out on the clutch to start...

    average running temp 2-3l

    my last 4cyl stang was a cold blooded bastard. I couldn't get it to warm up for nothing. including driving in stop and go traffic for 3 hours in the summer. but that car had issues that noble prize winning scientist couldn't figure out.

    anyone heard of this being done??

    I've seen several things done to focus's. My boss is a focus freak. I've seen one guy go so far as to put a twin turbo 4v 4.6L with a t56 trans and a 9in rear end. he had to do it on a sedan because the hatch was too short. I've also seen the ole 2.3L SOHC dropped in one. had a turbo and all...

    swapping a 4.6L for a 6.8L

    The 6.8L V10 is 415ci I believe. Did it look like a cobra? If so then that might be it. It was built here in the Kansas City area. A father and son project. He sold it when he went into the Army.

    swapping a 4.6L for a 6.8L

    Right now I'm just trying to get some info on the swap. Me and a couple of friends we're thinking of doing one as a group project car. The info that I have gathered so far is that the 6.8L has the same motor mount locations and trans bolt patterns as the 4.6L/5.4L. And that's about it. I...

    2011 SVO

    Actually I feel there is a market for it in today's world. Fuel economy. Like I said. Better performance than a GT WITH better gas mileage.

    2011 SVO

    I don't know if it's real. But I like to think that ford might bring it back with the introduction of the eco boost V6. I think it's only a matter of time. Put on the suspension and brakes off a GT500 and maybe the trans (more likely the trans out of the GT). Then take the eco boost V6 that's...
