Alright everybody, the time has come for me to stop with the hypothetical 351 build and start actually working on it. I picked up a nice 85 lx hatch roller from the valley. Its clean, only a few miniscule rust spots and a cracked fender. Interior is in excellent shape for how old it is. I will...

Hello everybody, been a long time since I posted in here. I sold my 89gt for 5 grand to put a down payment on an STI. Regret selling the fox every day, but not buying the STI(loads of fun, but that's another story). Anyways a few years ago I had a 94 gt convertible and bought a 351 Windsor from...

Well, im bored at work and thinking since everybody here has ~20 year old cars. What are you guys suprised still works on your fox?

I recently put my rebuilt explorer motor into my 89 gt. I am still breaking it in so i havent driven it hard and am about 2-3 days from changing the oil. It seems to run fine, but while im driving next to buildings, other cars etc i hear this very very annoying ticking sound. With the hood up i...

My stock hood on my 89 gt hits the elbow on the throttle body that connects to the oil filler. Left me a nice pretty dent. Besides the dent on the hood is rubbing off the rubber hose causing a bad idle. The engine is out of a 98 explorer with gt40p heads, trick flow intake, prof products tb (i...

I just got my 89 gt back from getting a freshly rebuilt engine installed. It will run fine sometimes and not so fine others. I can be driving 55-60 at steady throttle and it will die and start right up within maybe a second and the gauges on the left side go haywire, then run fine again. I have...

So i finally found a place within a reasonable distance that will do a dyno tune for me. I called them and they said it would be $100 if i provided the hardware. What do i need to buy? Its going to be a while before i get this done because i have to make my car atleast somewhat safe to...

Okay, i traded a guy for 24lb injectors a 70mm throttle body, 73mm maf (not sure if its calibrated to 24lb). My mechwnic got the car running after my engine swap and the injectors the guy gave me suck apparently. Im going to buy new ones. Do i meed 24lb injectors or will 19lbs be fine. I have...

Onbmy way to and from work every day i pass by this house with a pretty badass looking fox. Looks like a 91-93 gt, good paint and nice drag welds. It looks like it has been parked for quite some time because of the grass growing around it and the fact it hasnt rained here in 3 months. Idk if it...

I just got a 302 from a98 explorer rebuilt and bored to a 306. It has the gt40p heads which i had freshened up with a valve job, new valve springs, push rods, rockers, lifters.....pretty much nothing in the engine that isnt nrand spanking new. I had to limit my busget however so i just got cast...

So i bought my 89 gt and knew there were problems, but i wsnted to fix them. I took it to my mechanic to see exactly what the deal was. He told me i had a burnt valve and 3 weak ones on the way out. I told him i could get some gt40ps machined and a valve job and slap em on. He told me with 200k...

I am selling my brand new, in the box MSD distributor for the 5.0 94-95. Originally bought it for my 94 gt but sold it to buy a fox. Never been taken out of the box and i am asking $225 plus shipping. The trick flow elbow is still wrapped in the plastic and in the box it came in from Latemodel...

Okay, so i picked up my 89 gt last week. Decided to take it by my mechanic because it felt sluggish and sounded like it was missing even after changing plugs and wires. He did a compression check and told me that i had a burnt valve and 3 others were "weak". He suggested that since he car has...

I have just bought an 89 gt. I paid 2,000 for it. I am happy with the price. My question though is: what would be a good price to bore an engine out? The quote i got for rebuilding a set of gt40p heads that i already have inckuding valve job and the whole nine yards, bori.g out a 302 long block...

Okay heres the set up. I bought a mustang with a cracked block. I wanted a project car. Well i am putting an explorer engine in it. I already have all the parts for it. When i bought the used engine it had 65,000 miles and i could turn it by hand. I bought a Trick flow stage 1 cam, i took the...
