    Auto to Manual Trans ''How to'' guide

    You can reuse the same cross member. I actually did this swap last fall, thanks to Anthony's write up. As a note, I've got an '06 and I replaced the wiring harness and pcm from another '06. It did require a tune to get it working properly, but no issues and with proper tools and a lift, I was...

    1967 Mustang Fastback, Needs Final Completion, Northwest

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but that VIN code represents a coupe, not a fastback... What gives?

    Fuel Gauge Affected by Hard Cornering

    Did anyone ever get this problem fixed or is it still an issue? I'm having the same problem and now i'm thinking it is build up since my car sat for 6 months while I was deployed. Guess I need to dump some techron in it to see if that helps. Do the parts stores sell it? I replaced the driver...

    06 GT just died. Where do I begin?

    Well, I put some effort into it and was able to find the issue. I traced the fuel back to the tank and the hose came loose from the second pump. Now I just need to figure out how to get it fixed right so it doesn't happen again. I will contact Paxton tomorrow to see if they have fixed their...

    06 GT just died. Where do I begin?

    Ok I'm finally back from my deployment and can really get hands on with this thing. I replaced the fuel filter and I still get a no start condition. I plugged in my tuner and there are no codes either. One thing I did notice, about every 8th time of cranking it, probably one cylinder will...

    05 3v 4.6L conversion

    Ok, sounds good to me... I was wrong. Still, in the end a person is not limited to efi, they could use a carb if they so desired. LB

    05 3v 4.6L conversion

    If you lock the cam timing, the 2nd intake valve will open at all rpms not just the higher ones. The 3v creates the most low rpm torque with just 1 intake valve opening and if the cams were locked, both valves would open therefore causing a lower torque level. I think we are both on the same...

    05 3v 4.6L conversion

    I agree with you whole heartedly on that, the vct allows the 3v to make a lot more torque down low. But it would be possible for someone to go that route. I am planning to keep it the way it was designed even if it means getting the FRPP kit. LB

    05 3v 4.6L conversion

    Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that what the cam locks are for...to eliminate the vct? LB

    05 3v 4.6L conversion

    stonecoldtx. I will look into who makes the kit, but I still prefer the stock setup unless I determine its not worth the time/effort. If I decide to switch, I will definitely check it out. decurion. No plans for boost at this time, but if I do I will probably go with the same style kit that I...

    05 3v 4.6L conversion

    Will do.. 2 reasons that I'm contemplating this swap, one, it's a good middle of the road performance setup in between 4v and 2v. I won't have $5K+ into the motor like a 4v and it will make more power than a 2v and two, I'm picking up the whole car for $2500. If I do it right, I may be able to...

    05 3v 4.6L conversion

    I'm really looking for a stock style setup... no carb for me. I guess maybe I'll go ahead and get the car and see what happens. Worst case scenario, I part out the whole thing. I def won't lose money. LB

    05 3v 4.6L conversion

    major coinage for?? I'm already going MII front end so the suspension and motor mounts will already be modified. I've got the complete car from the 05 so everything is there that I'd need. I would have to modify the fuel system a little but what else? I don't think that I'd need a stand...

    05 3v 4.6L conversion

    Ok, so I’ve been trying to figure out what route I want to go on the motor in my 67. I came across a killer deal on a wrecked 05 GT. Has anyone transplanted the drivetrain from a S197 into a classic yet? I don’t know how much of the electronics I will have to transplant though. Does anyone know...

    Randall rack install...

    There is a thread dedicated pretty much to the Mustang II started by reenmachine. Basically it boils down to the arguement of whether structural integrity is lost by swapping to the Mustang II kit. From what I have read, it seems a good quality kit like the one from Heidts should not give you...

    Thoughts on the new CPP front suspension?

    Ok, so correct me here because I believe my calculations are correct..... The arms are designed to bolt on in either direction. The ackerman is built into the spindle itself, not the arm as the arm appears to form a straight line between the 3 bolt holes of the arm. With that being said...

    Thoughts on the new CPP front suspension?

    Those only work with the mustang II, so they wouldn't work with the stock suspension. LB

    Thoughts on the new CPP front suspension?

    No arguments from me on the suspension type. The strut type suspension is great cheap setup from an economical stand point but will never function properly when pushed at all. LB

    Thoughts on the new CPP front suspension?

    I guess it depends on what you are going for. Too bad they don't make a spindle that is bolt in to use the stock style suspension with the newer mustang rack. Personally, I'd be willing to give a little in the turning radius to have that rack. Growing up on the fox body mustangs, I prefer that...

    Thoughts on the new CPP front suspension?

    I think I'm going to give this system a go on my coupe just from the cost aspect of it alone! Course it will have to wait til after I get home from my deployment so it'll be december time frame. I like the Borgeson pump but for that kind of cost, I'd prefer to upgrade to a fox body rack. Has...
