    BBK LT headers trans removal

    I agree with rd just pull the motor and tranny all at once. I have long tubes also and there is no way i would fight them to do a clutch job

    L/Ts + an existing Bassani X Ques?

    b4 you buy go to your local exhaust shop and have them look at it. sometimes you can cut the x pipe down and flair the ends to except the l.t.s I've been down this road b4 on 94 5.0s and it worked, not sure bout the 4.6s with you set up. cant hurt to check and it will be cheaper than buying a...

    Tri-ax vs. Pro 5.0 vs. MGW on a T5

    I have run both the Tri ax and the pro 5.0. BOTH are great pieces of hardware. The only complaints I've had about the Tri ax is the weak feeling handle, but you can get a replacement for it that is stronger, it also has pretty smooth engagement and positive stops. The Pro 5.0 is my preference...

    swap issues??

    2wheelryder if your gonna do a plenum just get the 78mm BBK plenum intake.. I bought one about 3 months ago, GREAT mod the car pulls so hard from 4500 to 6000. It costs a little more than the macs or professional products or C&L plenums, but its well worth it. I'm running it with a 1/4 inch...

    Where to start to gain hp?

    Well my approach is not as glamorous as some of the others but it will grow with you AND the car will be faster.. start at the rear and come forward. 4:10 gears, diffie cover, hardened axles, suspension, long tube exhaust, programmer, tubular k-member, after you do all the chassis and suspension...

    Suggestions on rear end gears..

    Are you forced induction? if you have a turbo set up I'd go with 3:27 or 3:55s if you have a roots type blower go 3:55s, if you have a centrifugal supercharger go 3:73s, if your N/A go 3:73s

    swap issues??

    I just did this swap. you'll need a new intake, one with a coolant fitting. I used a 2001 lincoln town car motor. then I bought professional products intake and had it drilled. You can also use a DORMAN intake for a p.i. engine from any autoparts store or buy a ford racing replacement you'll...

I built a turbo 89 stang a few years ago, and the dual power heads just doesn't flow as good as the turbo heads.. problem is alot of the turbo heads are cracked now. I used the stock head off the 89 4 popper. but the combustion cambers are smaller on the n/a...
