    Teksid block with sohc heads

    I think putting SOHC heads on it is a real mistake. Unless you've got some heavy porting and aggressive cams, maybe a blower, you're leaving a lot on the table. I'm not sure if it's something you'd be interested in, but I have a set of B heads and a matching 96-98 Cobra intake I've been...

    Shelby Twist Hood Pins?

    I haven't been able to find any of the twist lock pins that don't require modifying the base. If you've got the right people doing the work, it should be pretty easy to make work. There's a guy floating around who's got these on his yellow S197 with what I think was a TruFiber Shelby KR hood...

    Shelby Twist Hood Pins?

    I'm resurrecting a dead thread, but I have a set of these hood pins if anyone's interested. You have to modify the mounting bracket, and it's more effort than it's worth to me. They're an absolutely gorgeous setup, that's for sure. They were pretty expensive new, but I'll take...

    I was threatened over the phone by John at Mustang Specialti

    As I'm sure some of you remember, I had an incident with some unauthorized repair work on my Saleen at Mustang Specialties. Their address is: Mustang Specialties 1401 Dixie Highway Pompano Beach, Fl 954.942.5202 Here's their website: Mustang Specialties - Home Here's a link to...

    Saleen (stoptech) 14" brake kit clear the 18" TQs?

    I think the short answer is no. You've got to run a bigger wheel than 18" to clear those brakes.

    Replacing 8" door "woofers" (Probably been talked about before, but not recently)

    Subscribing. I spoke with Crutchfield about a month ago and they said they didn't have a drop in shallow mount Sub for my 05. I was a little disappointed. :( Hopefully, they were wrong.

    How are you guys installing water temp and oil pressure gauges?

    I've got some gauges in the car, but I'm having a hard time figuring out where to install the sensor/sending units to the gauges. Specifically, I've got a water temp and an oil pressure gauge I'd like to use, but I have NO idea where to put the sending units. Does anyone have any ideas...

    Hurst Shifter Installed!

    I fought with mine from the bottom for about 25 minutes before I realized the only way to get it out is by dropping the part that actually connects to the linkage down over the passenger side of the tranny. Once I figured that out (thanks MGW website for a video install) it was out in...

    Clicking from passenger side at highway speed. Thoughts?

    Of course, I completely forgot. The nasty weather isn't helping me remember, either. :D

    Clicking from passenger side at highway speed. Thoughts?

    Thanks man. I'll try anything, at this point. Right now, I think it's either a loose fender liner or the mesh screen in the front bumper. I'll check the air pressure first thing in the morning.

    steeda pulleys

    This is why I all but stopped posting on internet forums. No matter what facts, or who supports them, if a person wills themself to believe something then the facts simply cease to matter. You're not arguing with me over this. You're arguing with a Ford engineer and a guy that some would...

    steeda pulleys

    I'm not looking to get into a pissing match, but I'll leave you with a few quick thoughts. 1. You called Steeda and talked to them about how great a Steeda balancer is. I think that's what I'd consider a "biased" source of information. 2. What kind of power does your car make? It's pretty...

    steeda pulleys

    Here's a post that talks about my ATI Balancer. I talk a little bit about the problem with a small diameter pulley at the bottom. http://forums.corral.net/forums/showthread.php?t=872455&highlight=pully This one is the goldmine of techincal wealth. You get some really heavy hitters in the...

    steeda pulleys

    There's more to it than that. I'm banned, so I don't know if I can find the post, but there was a long discussion as to why you running small diameter "underdrive" pullys on a Modular isn't a good idea. It looks like they could be the reason a lot of oil pumps have failed. Basically...

    Clicking from passenger side at highway speed. Thoughts?

    I've only had the car for 3 days so I can't speak to the quality of the Saleen, but I've heard similar things since Steve Saleen left the company. *So far,* the car seems pretty solid, but every new car is awesome until you start getting tired of it. :D If you go to their website, you'll...

    Clicking from passenger side at highway speed. Thoughts?

    I just picked up an 05 and at 70-80 on the highway I hear a really loud clicking noise coming from what sounds like the passenger side of the car. Anyone have a guess as to what this could be? I'm hoping it's a known problem and an easy fix. :) Here's the car: Thanks, Alan

    Fuel Pump Help

    Can we get a group buy on these? I'm interested for my 05 Saleen if the price is right. :)
