Kinda like exhausts on V6's. Bigger is usually throaty and smaller is usually raspy. I can see that I guess but I think he needs to just swap a 2.5" cat back and be done with it. I also like the exhaust to follow the 1/4's. Nothing a few minutes with a torch or a few dollars at the exhaust...

Just wanted to clarify a few things. The OP wants an 85/86 look. With that in mind I feel you are correct but throwing too many models years into the same boat. Below are the things I know to be correct so far: 85 was the last year of the 7.5 rear, CFI and the single rear exhaust. I believe...

I'm not restoring my cars but if they sent that crap I would be pissed as well. I ordered a few weather strip pieces from them including window runs and everything I got was scott drake or that other dude. I knew those were repro so I didn't care but I haven't had any issues yet with leaks...

Are you parting the entire car? I see a few things on the inside that I would like to have. I need the entire park brake stuff. I could also use any wire harnesses you have as long as they aren't cut. Also do you have the computer if it was a 5 speed car?

This is a father/son project but I was hoping to keep it 5.0 for now. If I have to replace the motor the local yards charge same price for 5.0 and 5.8 so a 5.8 would find a new home in this car. I also would like to keep it EFI but if harness is shot then it would be easier to go carb for now...

What gear and what RPM's are you at when you cross the line now? If you are just getting into the next gear when you cross the gears you are looking at will have you shifting a little earlier. If you are at the top of the gear when you cross the gears will have you shifting just before you...

I picked up an 89 GT in rather good condition considering it was up to the roof in water. I pulled the drain plug on the pan and waited a full 45 seconds for pure water to stop flowing. When the oil/water mix did flow it was bad. Coolant seems ok from what I flushed out so far. Power steering...

I have a set of 2.5" Flowmasters with dumps on my donor car. I was thinking about swapping them over but I'm concerned about exhaust fumes. I drive the car 50 miles round trip everyday to work. I'm concerned about exhaust fumes getting into the car. Local exhaust shop that did my last exhaust...

I have a 71 F100 2 wheel drive long bed. I bought it to restore but it needs more work then I'm prepared to do. It does start and I have driven it around the block but it's far from being a daily driver. Would be better used as a donor. Has a 302 with 2 barrel carb/intake. Has Accel street...

I live in Yuma now but I've lived all over the valley. I even spent some time in AJ. Well Main and Sossaman and again off Greenfield.

I have an 86 GT 5.0. My car has the following so far: new clutch kit, clutch cable, 3.73 with trac-lok, Hurst short throw, Mac shorty headers, off road H-pipe, 2.5" H-pipe back with flowmaster mufflers and twin electric fans. My donor is an 88 LX 5.0 so it should have the E7's correct? Would...

Forgot to mention that the regatta blue is the third paint job on the car. Originally it was black. I'm fixing it up and one of the items on my list is the original black paint. The wing on the 87-93 LX is the same wing on the 85-86 GT so I have the correct wing in the correct color on the...

Ok I've had this 86 GT for about a month or two. I bought it from my GF's cousin for $1200. It had a few problems when I got it. The two biggest being the T5 going out and the rear makes a clicking noise below 15 mph when stopping. The speakers in the car didn't work, the A/C and heat don't work...

After searching for a few hours I was able to find a few posts where people said the 4cyl input shaft was longer. Therefore it would push against the crank. That was just what I read so that is why I asked here. Figured someone would shed some light on that. Eitherway I just need a good case...

I do drive this car everyday but gas milage is NOT a concern for me. I currently have 3.73 with a posi and I love to push it from time to time. While I really hadn't thought about the gearing change with the 4 cyl trans I was a little concerned with the power handling of the 4 cyl trans...

Lol. I was waiting for that. law breaker, I'm sending the info in just a few. Thank you. I rebuilt a top loader in school and I rebuilt a 10 speed from an over the road truck with twin counter shafts so I'm not really new to trans rebuilding. Just never done a T5 so the manual would be nice.

Ok I know I'm a noob here so please forgive this question. I did search and found some info but not what I was looking for. I have an 86 GT with a T5. The trans is on its last leg. I found someone with a T5 from a 4 cyl. He has a V8 input shaft for it as well. I remember reading that the 4...

Not sure about a 5.0 with power adder but I run a 4cyl with turbo and full stand alone EMS. I'm set to run 91 octane and run a 50/50 mix of 91 and 100 to keep it safe. I busted a ring land on the old setup running too much boost/timing not enough fuel when the wastegate vacuum line came off and...
