    Resonators?

    I just purchased a Ford Racing X-Pipe that replaces that section only without messing with the cats. If Ford sells it, it must be ok to replace it.

    OMG!!! Missed Shift

    I did. However I won't install it until I get my x-pipe in and I'll do it while I'm crawling around under the car. As well, I'm thinking about changing the tranny fluid.

    Can a hard shift activate Stability control?

    Been there done that. Was pulling out of a parking lot into the road and floored it and shifted to second. Felt like the car wanted to go but the brakes were on at the same time. Now I've made it a habit to turn off the stability control until I get a tuner to shut it off permanently.

    OMG!!! Missed Shift

    Was looking at a new Steeda shifter when I found a deal on a new Hurst shifter. Let me tell you the difference is night and day with the stock shifter. With the stock one I missed third quite frequently and not necessarily speed shifting. The Hurst is sweet and have not missed third since. As...

    289 vs 5.0 Oil Pump Differences

    Dropping a 347 roller motor into a 68 Mustang. I am guessing I wont be able to use the 5.0 oil pan, so I am planning on using a 68 style pan. Is there a difference in oil pumps between a 289 and a 5.0? Is it just a different pickup? Is there a special setup I need to use?

    Need To Buy a Holley Carb, Any Recommendations?

    Pretty big cam (580 lift) and highly ported heads and intake (flow over 300 cfm). I am expecting 550 - 600 hp at the flywheel. I will be getting a 750 dp, but I want one that has been reworked. Was just looking for some advice on where to get it. There are a lot of places selling them on ebay...

    Need To Buy a Holley Carb, Any Recommendations?

    Putting together a 347 and need a carb. Want to get some sort of tweaked out Holley 750 DP (4150). Was looking at Bigs Performance, but don't find much feedback on them. For $589, they sell you a new carb with their mods on it and tune it to your engine specs (stage 5). Anyone used them? Any...

    Couple Questions on Classic Mustangs

    My signature shows the motor. Its a 347 with fully ported heads (flow 320cfm) and intake, custom ground cam. Was going into my 94, but looks like the 68 will get the motor with some sort of carb setup now.

    Couple Questions on Classic Mustangs

    I found some info on installing a 'torque strap'. Does not look like a big deal. As for the wiring, the car is pretty worn out and looks like it spent a considerable number of years outdoors. There is virtually no rust on the car now, but someone has already addressed that with new...

    Couple Questions on Classic Mustangs

    1) Looks like I will be picking up a 68 coupe. In my research, I have seen some engines chained to the frame. What is up with that? I have a 500hp 302 I wanted to drop in it. Am I going to need to chain down the motor? 2) Exhaust - on the newer fox's and sn95's, it is east to purchase a bolt on...

    Sudden RPM Surge

    Maybe your IAC is going bad or dirty or could be something else. That's the first thing I'd try. I am working on my 94 right now witha surging issue. There is also a thread on it here at stangnet. Search for surge or surging.

    Anybody Ever Used Vinyl Dye?

    Picked up a couple 01 Cobra seats for my 94 and they are black w/grey inserts in the middle. Thinking of dying the tan vinyl parts in the interior instead of painting them or trying to find a black interior. Anyone ever used this stuff? How well does it work? Will the dye work on...

    My 1994 5.0 GT has vibration/shakes at idle and all speeds

    Although the harmonic balancer is the likely possibility, it's possible the driveshaft could cause this.

    Rebuilding Tired T-5 Transmission For More Torque/HP

    Not at all worried about the noise. The car will be mega noisy inside already with slp loudmouth's on it. I didn't want to go with a different transmission because there would not need to be any changes to anything with a T5. Where a tko will probably need some mods to make it work. Or am I...

    Rebuilding Tired T-5 Transmission For More Torque/HP

    Rebuilding my tired T5 so it can withstand the new 347 I'll be installing - approximately 450 - 500 hp. Was looking at G-Force and Astro Performance kits. They both have awesome kits, although I don't think the G-Force kit is in the budget ($1295 for 600 rwhp and 500 ft/lbs torque), although it...

    94 GT needs CAK for 90mm maf

    Blackvert - Great idea with the pvc. I might just do this as it is very simple and looks like it works well. Thanks.
