    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?

    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

    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...

    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...

    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

    I am building a 347 and want to upgrade my maf system to a 90mm Lightning maf. Is there a cold air kit out there that I can buy? Or is this something custom that has to be pieced together? Not finding much info at all on this setup. Thanks.

    To Buy a Crate, or Not To Buy a Crate?

    Looking at replacing or rebuilding my tired 5.0. Ford Racing has a a crate engine that looks very appealing for the price - M-6007-X302, only $3495. Has anyone bought one of these? Is it a piece of crap? It claims 340hp, forged pistons and forged conn rods. Specs: E303 Camshaft - Automatic...

    HELP! Charging problems on my 96GT

    I have a 96 GT auto. When I start my car for the first time in the day, everything is fine. But as it warms up and I drive it, the battery/charging meter goes down little by little until it is not charging anymore. I park the car and come back when it is cooled off and start the whole process...
