    Auto To Manual

    That's funny you say that cause I'm thinking about going the other way (5 speed to auto). If you really want a 5 speed you best off doing what was suggested above. Its costly to swap especially if you do it right. You would ultimately get more bang for your buck by selling and getting the 5...

    Suspension What's Best Ride Quality Shocks & Struts For My '99 Gt?

    American Muscle is always a good baseline for price and Steeda's is better on this particular part so that's probably about as cheap as your going to find them. I can't say for sure the softest setting on the Tokico's is softer than the OEM's but with the high mileage you have anything...

    Fuel Will Crown Victoria Orange Fuel Injectors Work In My Stang?

    Those orange injectors are 19 lb if i remember correctly. If you want 24 lb injectors on a junk yard budget find a wrecked Lincoln Mark VIII or 96-01 Cobra and pull the injectors. When I did this on my 98 GT I also swapped the MAF from the Mark VIII. No need to do the MAF swap but you will need...

    Suspension What's Best Ride Quality Shocks & Struts For My '99 Gt?

    A) Springs don't really wear out B) http://www.americanmuscle.com/tokico-dspec-shockstrut-9404.html These are adjustable and great if you want some tuning of the suspension, they have a soft setting but be sure to set the rears before install because they're hard to get to after they're in the...

    97 Cobra Imrc Issues (please Help Thanks)

    I mod everything so I may not be the best to answer but I say delete them. The car will not loss much or even noticeable low end. We did it on my bothers car years ago and it ran better without. It's a restriction above 3000 or so RPM even if its working right. Although on a stock car the...

    Engine Heater Hose Keeps Blowing

    I may be posting a bit early but here is the issue: The inlet heater hose keeps blowing. Possible cause: 1. I have a 7.5 inch lower pulley that spins everything faster than factory including the water pump. This could cause the water pump to push to much water. 2. A leaky intake manifold...

    Engine Driver side valve cover breather grommet

    I found the one for the breather at orielly, the pcv is at american muscle or auto zone. Pcv P/N 42049 and the breather side is 42055 or at least that's what I got to work although it is not a perfect fit on the breather side.

    Engine Driver side valve cover breather grommet

    I can't seem to find a replacement grommet for my 2000 GT driver side valve/cam cover breather. I found the passenger side, PCV grommet on AM. The breather grommet is a bit different than the PCV. Also not sure if it matters but the valve covers are BBK 11 bolt, driver side oil fill. If memory...

    The quickest way to gain 40 hp

    Dynos are used for tuning not so great for comparing one car to another or just for numbers. Although a dyno readout from a good shop will get you a ball park figure of how the car is doing. Read up on the truth behind dyno results. They are a tool. You could change a result by simply changing...

    Forced Induction Question for guys with KB blower

    Looks like the 2.1 KB is coming back off and getting sent back for inspection. Video isn't that great but the audio is what I was after and you can really hear it making some funky noises.

    Forced Induction Question for guys with KB blower

    I wish it where a harmonics style noise but its more of a grinding noise. At the same time I don't want to over analyze it, not that I've been know to do that;) . After work today I'll put a video to see what you guys think.

    Forced Induction Question for guys with KB blower

    Sorry to hear about the hair loss. Yeah it's super frustrating to have a noise that could mean possible failure soon or just mean "yep its spinning normal". I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one going nuts over this. Maybe I'll post a video. As for the noise in your video, I hear it but it...

    Forced Induction Question for guys with KB blower

    So I took my 2.1 KB off and sent it off for rebuild after noticing a bit a growling/grinding coming from the head unit. I did all the normal stuff like checking to make sure the noise wasn't coming from any other areas before assuming it was the blower. It wasn't crazy loud but I could hear it...

    Engine Throttle body spacer?

    I did one on my 98 GT. It caused issues with lining the EGR back up. I actually stripped the treads and had to eliminate it. Just take note and you should be able to get it hooked back up fine. It increases port volume so make sense that a power increase could be seen, probably not going to...

    Electrical Radio Interference

    I originally ran the ground straight to the chassis out back but started having issues with odd codes. I then took a high quality, 600V, 2/0 AWG, welding cable and ran it straight to the motor on the opposite side of the power cable which is ran inside the car and the ground is ran outside. I...

    Electrical Radio Interference

    Factory, I believe the previous owner had it out. I checked the install its clean. Ground Loop? I relocated the battery to the truck but ran the wires to the factory locations and the noise was there before anyways. All electronics work great. Could give this a try?

    Electrical Radio Interference

    Trying to figure out the cause of feedback/interference that is coming through radio. It's a whining noise that increases with RPM. The noise has been present for about a year but its starting drive me nuts. Any ideas?
