I finally got around to taking some new exterior pics of my car. Nothing too fancy, just thought I'd share... Interior pic

I need 2 new front tires for my 92 GT, which has 15x6 Weld Draglites up front. I currently have BFG's on it, but the size I need has been on back order for a while. I was considering the Yokohamas because they got decent reviews on Tirerack.com, and they are reasonably priced. I don't want a...

My car has been flashing a code 34 for a while now. I really want to get this fixed, but I've been having trouble finding info on this particular code. It seems it is not very common. From what I can tell the most likely cause is a bad diagnostic monitor. I've tried 2 used ones, but ended up...

I put a new DSS Pro Bullet 306 in my car a few months ago. It's runs great so far, but ever since I put it in I've been concerned about the oil pressure. I'm using a standard volume Melling pump, Moroso 7 qt pan, and 10w-40 oil. At cold start-up I'm seeing about 55-60 psi. At hot idle I'm...

I'm building a motor for a buddy. I was gonna use Cometic head gaskets, but now I'm thinking about some Fel-Pro 1011-2's. My understanding is I need the 1011-2 for aluminum heads because it has a copper sealing ring instead of steel? Or should I use the 1011-1? How do these hold up? He's...

I'm building a motor for a friend of mine. I'm using the FRPP Fox-Body conversion kit, which came with a new timing cover, water pump, oil pan, and balancer. The problem is the new timing cover is set up for a mechanical fuel pump. It also has a hole for the old-school, front-mounted dipstick...

I'm putting together a 306 for a buddy of mine. I installed the TFS stg 1 cam and the FRPP timing set today. I installed the short dowel pin into the front of the cam per the instructions. When I installed the large timing gear, I noticed that the dowel pin doesn't engage the timing gear all...

I'm in the market for some new tires for my '92 GT. I've been using BFG Radial TA's on my Welds for the last several years. Rear wheels have 5.5" backspace, so I'm concerned that the 275/50R15 will rub in the back. I currently have a 255/60R15 on there, but they are a little too tall for my...

My car has been needing a new short block for a few months. I'll probably get flamed for this, but I went ahead and ordered a DSS Pro Bullet. They had it in-stock and ready to go. I got it one week later and everything looked great. I've got it in the car and should have it running soon. I...

My Cometic head gaskets aren't labeled "front" like most head gaskets are, and I want to make sure I put them on the right way. I'm pretty sure I know how they go, but I want to double check. Anyone have a picture maybe?

I just got my new cam today. I noticed it had a couple of very small nicks in the front cam journal. They seem to be below the surface and don't have any sharp edges. I'm a little hesitant to use this as it's going in a new motor. I'm sure I could exchange it without much problem, except for...

I'm going to be putting together a new motor for my car, and I figured it would be a good time to change my cam. Current cam is 510/534 222/232, I'm using 1.72 rockers, so total lift is .541/.567, similar to TFS Stg 2. I'm concerned that this a little too big. Motor will consist of 306 w/...

I read an article on how to do it, but it seems to apply more to scattershields. I'm just using the stock-style Ford aluminum bellhousing. How many of you checked the run-out on yours? Any issues? I noticed that my TKO had some vibration in the shifter after the install, not real bad. I...

I'm planning on buying a new shortblock in the near future. My previous DSS 308 had flat top pistons. I'm wondering if I should stick with flat tops this time around, or if I should go with a dished piston? I'm going to be using my S-trim, but I only plan on running 10-12 psi. Heads are...

I'm selling a used Procharger kit for a Mach 1 in the Stangnet classifieds. I was asking $2800 shipped. A guy contacted me and said he wanted it. I'm guessing he is not in the US based on the content of his emails. He said he was going to send me a certified check from a business partner for...

The check engine light came on in my '94 Explorer, so I figured I would just buy a code reader and fix it myself. I'm thinking it will work on my Mustang since they're both OBDI. What's a good entry-level code reader that is easy to use and reasonably priced? I don't want the one that just...

My DSS 308 needs a new crank and bearings, and I was planning on fixing it myself. I can either buy a brand new Ford crank, or I can get a crank kit from DSS. My question is am I going to have to have the whole reciprocating assembly re-balanced if I replace the crank? I want this thing to...

Finally decided to step up to a 3G alternator since I eventually want to run a Mark VIII fan in my car. I got a complete kit from a guy who had been previously selling them on Ebay. It's a brand new (not reman) 170amp alt, same one that is sold by PA. Unfortunatly I won't be able to get it...

I see the kit comes with pushrods, I was wondering what length they are? 6.750? Thanks

I finally reached a point where I felt that I needed some real guages. All I need now is a motor...
