    Electrical Very Strange Wiring Issue.. No Fuel, But Constant Horn?!

    Hi everyone, I've ran into a few issues after replacing the dash harness and wire tucking my engine bay and I'll try my best through text to explain it. The car is a 91 5.0 swap, and I am now running a 90 vert(7-up car)'s dash harness instead of the hacked up 88gt harness I was running. The...

    Engine New Heater Core, Now Overheating!!

    Hey guys, I'm back with another problem. First off, I had been driving my project car around for a while and it would stay right at 190 no matter what. But one day it started leaking from the heater core, pretty sure it's because I don't have a flow restrictor. But I finally decided to change...

    Interior Picture Request?

    Hey everyone. I have an all black interior notch and I need carpet, but want contrast. I'm either going with black carpet with opal mats or opal carpet and black mats. Does anybody have pictures of either of them? Thanks

    Electrical Hopefully My Last Cry For Help. (multifunction Switch Problem)

    Hey guys, me again. I'm finally tackling my wiring nightmare: So, the car started as a 91 2.3. It was stripped of all wiring, and is now a 5.0 and using the engine and dash harness from an 88 gt. The steering wheel as you can see, is original to the car. I plugged everything in, headlights...

    My 5.0 Is Making A Terrible Noise (video)

    Hey guys! I've ran into an issue with my 5.0. It has gt40 heads and intake, trick flow valve springs, and a trick flow stage 1 cam, with a new oil pump. I had a timing issue where I couldn't get it close to the correct timing and it ran very retarded for a little while. I got that figured out...

    Piston to Valve confusion

    Hey all, I have a bone stock 88 gt, and I'm in the process of getting the parts together for my little build. I already have the 96 explorer heads, intake, and throttle body, along with everything for my mass air conversion. I've run into an issue though, I don't understand how to figure out...

    Mass Air Sensor and Housing Identification?

    Hey everyone! I'm piecing together my mass air conversion and gt40 top end setup. I was looking around in my basement and I came across this: It has an f3 part number which designates 80mm. Is there any way I can use this with my car? How do I get everything working together? I have 19#...

    Strange engine noise?

    Hey guys. I have an 88 5.0, bone stock with 91,000 miles. When I got the car a couple weeks ago it had a little bit of a lifter tap, so I changed the oil and the noise went away. For a couple days everything sounded absolutely fine. So I was driving to school last night and the engine started...

    I'm back! (New to me 88 GT)

    Hey guys, I just got back about an hour ago from trading my 99 V6 for an 88 GT. I'm pretty excited because it reminds me a lot of my first mustang, the 93 GT. The car seems to be bone stock other than a cone air filter and a pro 5.0 shifter. Everything seems good on it! Although, there is a...

    First attempt at a racecar build (Pics inside)

    Here it goes! I just bought myself a new project car, a 1991 Notch with a little 2.3 motor. My plan is to run in the local 275 class, so that little 4 cylinder is gonna have to go (Probably in favor of a carbureted 408w). This is going to be a paycheck to paycheck build, and It's going to take a...

    MikeUrban's Class Project

    Hey everyone. I haven't been around here for a while because I've been busy with working on my car. Sadly, this project started when I crashed my car. The crash wasn't too bad. It just busted out my corner marker but the idea of crashing my car and how real things get in a split second kinda...

    8.8 5 lug disk brakes to 4 lug disk?

    I know this is kind of a weird question and has probably been asked before, but what all is needed to convert a 5 lug disk 8.8 to a 4 lug? Is it even worth it? Thanks!
