    Body part prices? ...

    Decided to sell my 95 and build my 66 project up. I need a few body parts and in recent years have lost familiarity with prices on these new and used. I need a hood, both fenders and a drivers door. I would prefer the fiberglass shelby hood but a good deal on a stock style hood is fine by me...

    Ethanol blended fuel effects?

    Thanks, any information would be great. Unfortunately for me, the only two stations in north california that have E85 are both private fleet stations =( I think ethanol is bound to increase in price for at least a year and a half relative to gasoline since the government is mandating that all...

    Ethanol blended fuel effects?

    So what does it take to convert a car to run on E85? I figure ideally you want high compression due to the high octane. I heard that you need to change certain o rings on fuel injected cars due to the corrossion that ethanol can cause as well as running stainless steel fuel lines for some...

    What kinda hp and setup with a KB would warrant a need for the injection? I'm presuming that the base level KB and a mostly stock 5.0 wouldnt see much need unless ur really upping the boost.

    HELP!! Key broke off in ignition!

    I cut keys at work all the time - if you can get the key out than your basic key cutter should be able to do it no prob. I did the other day. On most key machines, the machine will grip the key on the area that is cut, not near or on the big part where you usually hold it, so I highly doubt...

    Mustang as a Xmas Present: how to surprise?

    lol I guess its pretty straightforward I can either go the Key route or the actual car route. I kinda prefer the actual car route and I want to surprise/excite her without her accidentally thinking we bought a car - tentative plan is to take it to her home in the AM and walk her out to it or...

    Rebuilding T5 qs?

    Hey guys. I have a bad T-5 on my 95, and am considering my options. It's not pertinent because the one on it opperates, but I can tell doesn't have a long lifespan left. My options are the typical - to buy new, rebuilt, used or to rebuild mine or another one myself. I would like to rebuild...

    Is there a longer EGR tube for 1" Phenolic Spacer

    I think you can buy that exact part at hardware stores. I work at ACE hardware and all that is is a simple flare fitting thats probably like 2 bucks.

    Passed SMOG today

    I had my smog done about a month ago right before installing my shorty equal lengths. I swapped off my Off Road pipe and put on my stocker, forgetting to attatch the smog tube to the stock pipe. I took it down for its first smogging on the "new" system and it passed with flying colors as shown...

    Gas = The Death of Me - How Much are YOU Paying??

    yeah I highly recomend the book "Oil Factor" It talks about peak oil, oil resources, kinda an easy thing to read that covers a lot of what may be or will probably be coming, and also spends much of the book going into detail on how to make money investing considering the coming oil...

    Gas = The Death of Me - How Much are YOU Paying??

    Considering that fact, would the fact that Ethanol is only about %73 as volatile as gasoline yet 105 octane make it in actuality close to 105 octane Gasoline? And, if that's the case, one might think that a car tuned to run on 105 octane gas, plus a few changes of course, could run pretty decently?
