2 questions. I am going to install forged pistons and rods with the Stock GT crankshaft. What needs to be balanced? Are there any links to write up / walkthroughs on putting a short block togather? John

So I am pretty sure I am going to do an N/A build with a bit of compression and the Trick flow 2v heads. Random question though. What added work/difficulties are there in building a 5.4 motor. Will the heads flow enough for this setup? Anyone else done it? If the heads flow enough then...

I had a spark plug come out of the PI heads on my motor. While the shop looked at it they told me I had low compression in 4 of the 8 cylinders. Presumably due to the rings going bad. (Had an issue running it a long time ago with low oil.. doh.) I am going to be pulling the engine out and...

Long story short my 99 GT has a 101K miles on it. I blew a spark plug out of one of the heads. Shop was able to fix that but told me that I have low compression in 4 of the eight cylinders (~90 psi) vs the 150 psi in the rest of the cylinders. Was looking on the frpp website for a good...

So I had a funny clunking noise coming from the rear. I got under there and found the upper control arm mount is cracked right in half and seperated. It was a pretty clean crack. and it seems as I drive the two pieces contact each other and make the clunk noise. Has anyone else had this...

I had the mustang dynoed yesterday. It put down 248.8 HP at the wheels and 296.7 TQ. I was pretty happy with the power for an N/A motor. Problem is I see some black smoke at higher RPM which I believe it is running rich and using the stock computer tuning. What scared me though was I was...

I put the 03 cobra brakes on the front of my 99 GT. its got stainless lines and slotted and cross drilled rotors. I noticed that with a decent brake pedal applied, i get a shimmy/shutter that starts at about 40 mph and continues to about 30 mph. Its not serious just there a little bit. I don't...

So i was taking my rear wheels off and one of the lug nuts wasn't coming off easy. Then it happened, the wheel stud sheared right off. What do i do? Does this mean i need a new axle or is there a way to replace just one wheel stud? help asap please.

I am looking at getting a Mongoose (vortech) for my 99 GT, my car is basically Stock. I have 2 friends that now have a 5.7 GTO (350) HP and a 04 STI (the 320 HP one i think). Will the mongoose kit allow me to keep up with them? I will do additional upgrades later, as i graduate school in one...

Does anyone know where I can get a cobra spare tire? other than the 200 dollar one on ebay. I am putting the cobra brakes on and don't want to be without a spare. Will a full size tire fit in my trunk well? maybe i could pick up a used / beat up tire from someone, i dbout it will fit.
