Can you give us more details on how it is wired? A switch connected to the switch side of a relay should not be blowing fuses like that. It sounds like your toggle switch is wired into the power side of the relay or directly to the fan in which will blow fuses like that (and fry wires like...

Mustang5L5: I've read that, the only problem is that I already have a 3g in hand from PAPerformance, so without costing me more, I would like to make it work. Bryan83taco: The 30025 bracket would have worked fine after I ground down the little adapter bracket on the top of the alternator...

I have searched through the forums but still cannot find the info I am looking for. I have a 93 with the A/C and SMOG deleted, I had a knock-off of the March 30025 bracket to eliminate the stock tensioner. While this worked great for the stock alternator, I started my 3g upgrade. Everything...

I agree, the release bearing is probably the culprit. My 96 started doing this at around 89k miles, eventually just gave out all at once with a horrendous squealing metal on metal noise. If you can, I would get it checked out ASAP. My release bearing was almost melded to the input shaft on my...

This is what I used, it moves the PS pump up. You have to use the right size belt with it, and I ended up changing out the Alt bracket also (I got tired of worrying that the belt was going to break from touching). 1979-93 FORD MUSTANG 5.0 ALUMINUM POWER STEERING BRACKET SET - CHROME

You will have to remove the fan (if you have the stock fan) to put the water pump pulley on and you can opt to not replace the alternator pulley to alleviate the charging issues you brought up. I did not see a noticable power improvement when I put mine on. It's kinda like putting a CAI on, if...

My stang had the power steering removed when I bought it. It put it back on, I bought a used pump from the junk yard and purchased a PS bracket from Pro 5.0. Now, this only works if you do not have A/C also, but the bracked was fairly inexpensive and came with all hardware to bolt the pump...

Haha, I google searched the second number you listed, and Briggs & Straton came up.

Are the heads on your 5L aluminum or iron? If they are aluminum, they are definately not stock, but if they are iron, you possibly have the gt-40 or gt-40p heads, which apparently use a longer reach plug.

I have a universal overflow bottle mounted where the battery is supposed to be with the battery relocated to the hatch. Sorry, I don't remember where I bought it, but here is a link as to what it looks like. Universal Overflow Tank

Here is the link to late model restoration, something like this may work. 5.0 Fox A/C Eliminators

ok, I have never seen the tensioner down in that position before, I have read about some ppl changing and moving it around. That is not alot of contact for the WP. If the tensioner is back in the stock location (pushing down on the belt just to the right of the alternator). You can kinda see...

The easiest thing for me to do was buy the matching timing cover instead of looking for doable parts. Here is a chart of Timing Covers for reference. The stock FI 5.0 cover is the one on the bottom right (reverse rotation, electric fuel pump). Notice the D's. If you dont have the backing...

unfortunately, most of the discount dealers (Advance, AZ, oriellys) have started discontinuing alot of these older parts (advance told me the have discontinued the oil pressure sending unit for the 5.0), so mail order may be your only bet, but it is called a low oil level sending unit I believe.

On ALL 5.0 L, you have to match the timing cover to the type of water pump you are using. Standard rotation is a bad term to use, because it's standard for what? On the late model 5.0L, standard rotation is actually reverse rotation (counter clockwise or stock rotation), if you are planning on...

Follow this llink to the part on Late Model Restorations web site. Low Oil Level Sensor

That's a tough one, but if I had both, I would street/strip the 5.0 and DD the 02. To me, the newer ones ride better and have more creature comforts well suited for DD, whereas the older 5.0 Fox still has a huge aftermarket and upgrades available that are still less expensive than for the mod...

As an alternative to screwing around with the idle if you are having charging issues, you can replace the alternator pulley with a slightly smaller one so the alternator spins faster at idle.

Coins did mine in, someone dropped some change in the track and held the seat switch till it fried. Luckily I was able to open the switch and repair it.

One of the checks I had to do on my mod was remove the spark plug wires one at a time to determine if it was a bearing or not. If the cylinder does not fire, it removes the pressure on the bearings and it will not knock unless the bearing is completely disentigrated. This is a quick and dirty...
