Besides a 5.0 liter and tranny? I'm guessing brakes and suspension, exhaust, but what about things like the efi system? Is there a thread anywhere here regarding this? Thanks.

I'm well aware gasoline doesn't freeze, but my 89 GT started up a little over a week or so ago (It lives in the unheated garage attached to my house) and when I went to start it today it wouldn't start. It just kept cranking. I pressed the gas pedal once. Still nothing. Turned the key back, than...

Hi, I have an 89 GT convertible. It has a T-5 in it. When I got it I knew I had to replace the throwout bearing, so I decided to do a whole clutch. I did an Exidy from American Muscle, new flywheel from Ford Racing, throwout bearing, and pilot bearing. After doing that I had a quadrant installed...

I have a stock, with the exception of underdrive pullies, 87 5.0 and the volt meter won't stay even. It's surging. Higher rpm's, higher voltage (about 16), lower rpm's, lower voltage (about 12 at idle). I don't recall seeing the volt meter move the way it is now before changing the alternator a...

Hi, I want to do a speed density/mass air conversion on my 87 GT vert (auto). I had a 90 7Up LX, and the previous owner did a 70mm upgrade. I just found the leftover parts (see pics). From looking at the other posts, I now need some new gaskets, harness, and computer to finish, correct? I was...

My voltmeter has started acting differently since installing a new alternator. I put in a 75 amp instead of the stock one. The car does have underdrive pulleys. I never had this problem prior to installing the alternator. The alternator did charge the battery. I took it on the highway twice for...

I cant get my alternator out of my 87 GT because I'm not smart enough to figure out how to remove that bolt/pin or whatever it is that it's pivoting on. I have the short bolt on the top out, and the long one too. I looked in the manual and couldn't tell either. I thought it just pulled out after...

I have an 87 GT convertible that needs new doors. I saw an ad for two complete 90 LX doors. Other than the mirrors mounted on the doors instead of the corners, is there any reason why these doors wouldn't fit? Thanks

Hi, I need a pair of seatbelts for my 87 GT vert. Does anyone know what years/models will fit? Thanks

I am looking for two rust free doors for my 87 GT convertible. What would you say is a fair price to pay? I've gotten a price of $200.00 a piece from a salvage yard (specific to Stangs), and another on CL asking $150.00. How close is this to realistic? Also, I'm aware of the difference in...

Hi guys, I'm attempting to remove and replace the left and right e-brake cables on my 87 GT convertible and I'm really struggling with doing it. Can anyone share some experience/guidance with me or point me in the direction of a detailed guide? Every time I do a Google search or search on here...

I'm trying to find a driver's door for my 87 GT convertible. My door can't be saved. I found someone selling a complete vert door, and claiming it to be rust free. Asking price $225. I live in the Northeast. Think I can do better on price? What would you expect to pay for a door that's in good...

I bought new rotors, pads, inner and outer wheel bearings, and seals all at the same time from NAPA. I did spec it was for a 5.0. I have the right side together fine, everything went smooth. I was assembling the left side and when I put the other rotor on I noticed that it wasn't seating all the...

Hi, just picked up an 87 GT convertible. I sold my 90 7UP about 7 months ago, and the first nice day we had here in Boston a convertible Vette drove by. I immediately started kicking myself. So I picked up the 87. I sold my 69 Coupe, and while the money was good, it was sad to see it go. So I...
