    5.4l Dohc Swap

    I got my swap on the road and running. It actually runs pretty decent. Needs a tune bad, so I haven't put more than 150 miles on it. Running slightly lean below 2500 and stupid rich above. Like 10-1 rich! Everything in the car works. I'm actually pretty pleased with how it turned out. With the...

    5.4l Dohc Swap

    I am using a T45. I don't like the issues the 3650 is known to have. I have a T45 from a 98 Cobra. When I get to work tomorrow I can get a pic.

    5.4l Dohc Swap

    I know its been a few weeks. I have BBK long tube headers in the car now. The header is clearanced for the steering shaft, but still needs to be modified a little to clear the steering shaft. That side went in easier than the passenger. I had to unbolt the trans and shift the tail end around to...

    5.4l Dohc Swap

    Got the intake like new for $275. I should be getting ready to fire the car up here in a week or so. Waiting on LT headers to get here and deciding on what TB to use.

    5.4l Dohc Swap

    I ended up swapping out the stock coyote unit for a Boss 302 unit. Guy totaled his car and needed to sell parts so I got a great deal. Running the Boss unit means I wont have to relocate the alternator or source the terminator oil cooler adapter housing. The 4.6 doesn't run knock sensors, so I...

    5.4l Dohc Swap

    I am in the middle of doing this same swap right now. Did you reinstall the knock sensors? You said you were able to reuse your 01 GT fuel rails? What cooling issue where you having that forced you to run w/o a thermostat? I am contemplating not running one as well, mine will be a daily driver...

    Cobra Pcm

    Replacing the MAF isn't horrible, I just wan to make sure I'm not going to essentially trick the computer into thinking I have 36lb injectors because of its 24lb table. Right now the C&L tricks the computer into thinking its got 24's simply by increasing airflow across the meter.

    Cobra Pcm

    SOOOOO, some may recall a few months ago (after rebuild) I was having a starting issue and running issues. Well everything except my starting issue has ironed out. I am replacing the PCM, mainly because it was soldered once already (SIG RTRN) and I believe the PCM is not handling my Cold Idle...

    Lighting Issue

    Noobz, you would be right. Why is it some of the most aggravating issues are always the simplest fixes. The stupid radio illumination wire had a single strand sticking out of the insulator and was touching the brace for the radio............

    Lighting Issue

    Replaced the heater core today. Put everything back together, and start checking things. Had no blinkers. Found out the top connector on the multi-function was unplugged? Plugged it back in, blinkers return. Turn the lights on, all is working. On, my way home. I turn my running light on and have...

    Code 41 And 91 Won't Go Away

    Where the sensors at least fluctuating between .1 - .6? If they are fluctuating, that should suggest that they are actually responding to the given information (exhaust) and you may actually have a lean condition.

    Door Still Won't Close Properly

    Having to "slam" the door is just a sign of a good seal!

    Fox Foxbody Help

    Meh, we all did dumb shi t back in our days. My first, at 17, had the heart and soul ripped out in favor of a built 390 with a powerdyne and a c6 behind it. A wonder that car didn't kill me. It was totaled out sitting still. If you have to do anything to it, make it subtle. Like what was said...

    Engine Going Through Coolant Like Crazy, But No Leaks?

    Loss of coolant that can not be seen on the ground, usually means its the heater core (wet floorboard on the passenger side or steam marks on the windshield when the car is shut off) or your sucking coolant through the motor. Head gasket / intake gasket

    Engine Head Gasket Water Jacket Holes

    When the headgasket went the first time, did it over heat? Have the heads been checked? By chance are you buying head gaskets for E7 heads and you have GT-40's?

    Code 41 And 91 Won't Go Away

    There is this idea that 39 psi is the magic number, and that it is supposed to be set with the vacuum gauge removed. I've read in 3 different places that fuel pressure is 30-45 KOER. That being said, with my vacuum line attached, I am running 39 psi and my 41/91 went away. I also went through...

    Fox Need Help With Some Parts

    It's not gonna help as much unless you change the heads. The change to long tube moves the collector, thus changing where back pressure "begins" You won't really effect horsepower. It will have an effect on torque, but not enough to really warrant just going with a set of long tubes. You could...
