    2002 V6 to V8 swap

    I just see that as the 3.8 having more brake then it'll need. :D The stock brakes on old fox mustangs were a crime, hey lets build a car that can put down 13 second quarter miles (with some work) and put on brakes that were worse then those on a vw bug.

    Poll question about which stang turns you on

    Cleaning aluminum intake

    Nope, my profile was really out of date, my 90 2.3 turbo got sideswiped at an intersection 3 weeks after the 2.3 turbo swap. That was about 4 years ago, took a detour with a econobox neon (manual was alot of fun to drive, and it handled really well). Bought a 2002 3.8 with the intent of making...

    95 Overheating problem, please help!

    Really a band-aid solution for a amputation kind of problem, but I had alot of luck with red line water wetter in a older chrysler with a 360. They claim that it'll drop the temp by 30F, mine was more along the lines of 20F realistically, but 20F cooler for less then 10bucks is a pretty good...
