    I have two body ideas (poll)

    I love the LX! I'm in the same boat as you, I can find front and back LX bumpers for cheaper than just the cobra rear. But then again I think about the ease of just putting the cobra stuff on rather than all that body work of converting to LX. I say LX!

    Decided to redo my exhaust h pipe or x pipe?

    I'm right there with you, cant decide between the pypes stainless x or prochamber. I'm also going to go with a cobra bumper and some 3" tips so my exhaust should be quite different. I have an H pipe right now and it sounds good, but my car sounds truck-ish at times and the bbk doesnt fit...

    Squealing belt is driving me insane

    http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SME-2002/ I'm getting this and hopefully that will eliminate the tension issue. I know the belt squealing is because its slipping from being too lose. After getting this I can route my belt the original way and use a 69" belt.

    Squealing belt is driving me insane

    I'm on my 5th brand new belt and I'm nervous to even go to oreilly's and exchange it again. I have under drive pulleys and no a/c or smog pump. I have my belt routed according to the diagram thats on this forum , the belt I have is a 71.5 and I re-indexed the tensioner to take some tension off...

    Just bought my first Foxbody, I think I screwed up big time.

    If it was the harmonic balancer you would feel it in every gear since the engine revs in every gear. Whats funny about that is my car is an AOD but at 55-65 I have a very noticeable vibration which was bad until I lowered the car a bit and changed the u-joints, but I still have a steel...

    Water pump bolts and the adventure of removing them...

    yes thats the thermostat you can see through the threaded hole, I have to find a threaded plug to fill that hole with. Atleast it will help to bleed the air from the block.

    Water pump bolts and the adventure of removing them...

    alright so its mostly back together, I spent most of the day changing a freeze plug on my friends YJ and getting a double double from In and Out that I've been dreaming of my entire deployment. So against my better judgement I used some cheaper drill bits and sure enough I snapped one in...

    Water pump bolts and the adventure of removing them...

    I appreciate everyones input. I went to the junk yard and found the only car there with a 302, it was an 87 crown vic, part numbers matched so I pulled it. So $10 saved me from beating myself up on the bad one on my car. I took my dremel and made cuts where the bolts went through and chiseled...

    Water pump bolts and the adventure of removing them...

    I finally got tired of dealing with the leaking timing cover water pump deal, when I bought the car I noticed one bolt head was missing and I what I figured was the case, on both sides the outer most bolt on the water pump was broken off in the block/timing cover. So I figured it wouldnt be too...

    Company that sells body parts?

    Megasquirt, who's got it?

    So its a tuneable version of speed density? Instead of using a MAF you put presets to accomadate modifications? Sorry I'm just trying to clarify.

    Megasquirt, who's got it?

    Hey I dont know much about all this tuning stuff, but from what I understood through they're website is that I could buy this kit and a MAF and convert my car from speed density? Because this replaces the ECU entirely?
