Was thinking of getting a 96-98 Cobra. Are there any issues with these that I need to look for or would it be better to stear clear of this model? There are some around my area with 30-40K miles for $9-10K. Thanks!

Like the title says, my car backfires through the exhaust under load. It stalls until you cram on the pedal. The whole time it is at about 30% power. You cram on the pedal and it stalls and then lurches forward and backfires through the exhaust. It generally does this when I first start it...

I tried a search, but couldn’t really find what I was looking for. My car leaks oil, like crazy, through the valve cover breather. I have since learned that I’m not really supposed to have a valve cover breather since I have a PCV valve. So I have replaced the breather with a “push-in” oil...

I haven’t really seen this discussed here, so I’m bringing it up. I’m sure I will probably take some heat, but here goes…I want an All Wheel Drive mustang. I live in Northeast Indiana and cannot have a Mustang as a daily driver. I know some of you guys are driving your Mustangs year-round...

1968 Cougar - See signature for engine mods. This car is super clean! I'm the second owner. The story I got from the original owner is as follows: The family purchased the car new when they lived in Chicago. They had a double coating of undercoat applied when they purchased it. Two years...

When I started to put my AOD in my cougar I bought an EDGE 3000 Stall converter and a Lentech Manual Valve Body. The same day I brought the car home from having the engine wired up the damn bushing that connects the TV cable to the Throttle body broke and the TV cable came loose. The TV cable...

Ok so here's the deal... I got my car back Sunday. Waited two years for this. Ready to go. So I drove it to the store. No problems, running perfect. Got home, pulled on to the slab and put it in park. I tapped the gas to see if it would idle down...opposite the RPMS shot through the roof...

Thanks for checking out my thread. I'm working on some custom stainless steel pieces for my cougar. I just want your opinions. I made a stainless steel automatic console shifter plate out of stainless steel. I have actually sold a couple of them on ebay. My question is about my newest...

Ok, this is really starting to **** me off!!! I'm trying to bolt the starter and bottom plate on to my AOD tranny. I stripped two of the holes already. :owned: So does anyone know what that thread is so I can try to retap it and get the correct bolts? Thanks!!

Hi, I'm doing a 5.0L EFI swap. Does it matter which heater hose goes where? I know one goes to the intake and one goes to the water pump, but I don't know which (upper/lower) goes to which place or if it matters. P.S. Why can't I search???

I know this has probably been asked before and I searched, but couldn't find exactly what I'm looking for... What would happen if I completly removed the EGR plate? I'm not talking about putting a blockoff plate or something like that on it. I'm talking about taking the throttle body off...

Hey, I'm getting ready to put my motor in my car...finally. I found a tapped whole in the block about 1" up from the center of the motor mount bosses on the drivers side. There is a whole similar to this on the passenger side, but it just looks like a drilled and tapped whole. What goes into...

I have my motor built now and I really want to get the thing in the engine compartment. I’m going to run an AOD eventually, but I need to buy a manual valve body and a torque converter. I don’t have the money to buy those right now (close to $1000). My question is: Can I just install my...

To skip all the mumbo jumbo, go to where it says, "cut to the chase..." I recieved a set of spindles with a disc brake conversion kit hat I bought for my cougar. The guy told me they were '69 spindles. I went ahead and bought all my brake stuff for a '69; rotors, calipers, bearings, seals...

This weekend is supposed to be up to 70* outside. That means I will finally be able to paint my engine compartment. That also means that very shortly, I will be able to put the engine and trans in. I have a somewhat built motor *see signature* and a relatively stock tranny. I'm trying to...

Hey, This is a dumb question, I know. How do I get the strut rod Bushings off of the strut rod..."support thingy"? I have the whole suspension off, strut rod and all, I took it off all at once, but I can't seem to get the strut rod bushings off the car. Thanks!
