Got a friend that has his powertrain for sale. It's an '88 Turbocoupe complete powertrain. Has the T5 manual transmission. Removed from an '88 Turbocoupe and is currently installed in an '85 Mustang. The car ran a best of 14.5@89 with the stock turbo/intercooler. It now has an upgraded Hybrid...

I'm currently building up an '83 Fox and have a few questions I need an experienced hand at. The car should be capable of a low 10 second pass, and i'm curious as to what all I should be paying attention to suspension wise. It's a T Top/Hatchback car. What is the stock suspension capable of...

I'm getting ready to swap the dash in my '82 GT to the newer style '89 one. I have an entire complete donor car to part out, and will have it side by side in the shop during the swap. Wiring wise, i'm not concerned with anything as I can graft harnesses and do whatever needs to be done on...

Looking for a set of good used, or new if the price is right, stock Mustang 4.6L mounts. My zip code is 67530. PM/Email me if ya got them and we'll work a deal via Paypal. Thanks!

let the fun begin........ Was recently installing a set of Comp 262ah's on my '96 PI converted shortblock and ran into a problem. Upon installing and degreeing the cams, I am getting PTV interference. I degreed them back to -4 degrees from spec and can only free up .030 of clearance. I...

After much searching, I am unable to find a solid adjustable lifter for the 2V, aside from the Ford Racing kit that comes with one for $150.00. I'm sure there are companies out there that make them, but i'm only going to use it once, when i degree my cams this weekend, and it's done. Sooooo, i...

I was doing a little research, and came across an interesting question. I found that stock 4.6 GT's have 19lb/hr injectors, i beleive from '96 till '04. Using a BSFC of .52 and calculating total HP, it came up to around 247HP. That may be o.k. for the '96-'98's, but what about when they went to...

Comp Says 262's won't work!! Well, once again, the need to go faster has tempted me again........ I have decided to get a set of cams for the car, but am unsure of what to go with. I would like to go with Comp as they have a decent set of cams available and VT seems a bit high, although...

Wow. Got to hand it to the guys at Brenspeed.com and SCT. I recently purchased an SCT Xcalibrator 2 from Brenspeed. Ran the car yesterday at our 1st test and tune of the year, cranked out a [email protected]. Previous best run was [email protected]. So thinking it was just a good day, i checked the local...

Who else has had these things leak on them? Mine is leaking from this little hole in the bottom of it. From what i'm told if it leaks from there it's done, like a water pump, tells ya something is wrong. I have read a lot about people just smearing JB weld over the hole, but I don't want to...

Thinking about buying an SCT Xcalibrator 2 to tune my setup. I have done the PI swap with additional mods on my car, but am still running the stock '96 programming. Car runs great, no check engine light, no problems at all. Can i expect a decent gain from an SCT tune?? Anyone been here before?

Getting ready to swap out the 'ole 4R70W for a T-45 from a '96 Cobra. Can someone please check my list of parts and correct me if I am missing anything? Here's what I got thus far: Flywheel Clutch Cable Pedal Assembly Driveshaft Yolk '96 Cobra T-45 Clutch Set Shifter + Boot + Bezel...

I currently have a '96 GT with the mods listed in my sig. my best time so far is 14.79@93 with the current setup. I have recently acquired a T45 extremely cheap, and gathering all the components for the swap won't be an issue. So, all that aside, what kind of gains can I expect from the swap? I...

Getting ready to do a T45 swap, but have a few questions...... The trans i'm using is from a '96 Cobra. From what I can tell the only difference is that the transmission mounting point on the cobra tranny is farther back than my stock crossmember. so i can either change the tailhousing or...

Spark Knock on Accel I had recently done a PI headswap on my '96. I haven't had the chance to get a flash/tuning device yet to fully optimize the setup. I have read that you are suppossed to back your timing down a few degrees because of the bump in compression. I have ran 91 octane fuel even...

Finally got the 14's out of the 'ole '96. Pulled a 14.80@93 consistently the other night at the drags. That's seems right on par for the auto, from what i'm reading anyhow. Calculated out, that's about 270HP at the fly. The car weighed in at 3640 LBS with me in it. The PI swap is definately...

ahhhh, I hate love, it's like the worst torture ever. well, anyhow, for those willing to listen, the fiancee deceded to come home 3 weeks ago and say that she wants to split. just like that. no problems whatsoever beforehand between us. she just up and left. The last two weeks have been the...

I had just recently put 3.73:1 gears in my '96 GT. I purchased a white 23T speedo gear from Steeda to correct the speedo, they claim it has 8 drive teeth on the transmission output shaft. I have came across some articles on the net that say 4r70's could have 8 or 9 tooth drive counts. It seems...

I just completed the PI swap on my car :hail2: , using the parts listed in my sig. My question, I haven't had a chance to look at the fuel trim data yet and am wondering, has anyone had any problems running lean on the top end without doing a tune after the swap? I am running the stock ECU with...

Just got word back from the machine shop on the PI heads I purchased, said valves hold great, installed new seals and milled the heads .005 (five thousands) to clean up some gasket impressions. My question, is taking that much off the head going to effect my cam timing? What about piston to...
