86 GT with 438rwhp and TKO trans / spec stage 3. 8.8" rear with Trutrac posi, moser 31 axles, FRPP driveshaft, Steeda L/UCAs. Everything is brand new and the car vibrates like hell above 85mph. At 75, its perfectly smooth, and by 85, it feels horrible. It's a bit worse under hard acceleration...

Got a fox body with an original Tremec TKO (3650), ford racing driveshaft, and a factory yoke from a newer model mustang (T45). I have the driveshaft off now and I noticed the yoke is twisted (I have a little over 500hp). I am trying to find a Chromoly / hardened yoke + U joint for this but one...

basically stock 5.0 with an on3 kit MPT70 turbo, 9psi, a little over 500hp.. A while ago I noticed my overflow bottle was brown. Found out its oil... sweet. Another time, I noticed the overflow was bubbling, almost like a boil. This means a bunch of air is being released by the cap, so air...

I have an 86 shortblock with E7 heads and a MPT70 pushing 9 lbs, completely stock otherwise. Right off the bat I had issues detonating and blowing out spark. We brought back the timing a little and I went with Autolite 23 plugs gapped at .028" and a MSD coil. I then continued to make 420rwhp...

'86 GT running a 76mm C&L MAF (converted from SD) and A9P computer. Just recently added a T70 single turbo setup and some E7 heads. Before the turbo it ran perfect (with MAF conversion and everything). I added the turbo setup with FMS 42lb green top injectors, 255 walbro, E7 heads, and the...

Anybody heard of using a FL910 oil filter on a 302? I have a turbo setup on my '86, and I can't run the FL1A. I was browsing through oil filters and I came across the FL910 which is for the escape. Its tiny, but has the same thread and same seal as the FL1A. Clears my turbo manifold perfectly. I...

I have an 86GT and I am now going on my 3rd heater core. Cheap autozone replacement one lasted about a year. I am seriously considering cutting a hole in the firewall to make access directly to it. I can make a nice aluminum plate at work to cover up the hole and run the new lines through. What...

I just converted my 86 GT to MAF using the 4 wire harness and A9P. I just started it up and it misfires. It isnt random and is consistent on 1 or 2 cylinders. I havent had time to diagnose anyting, I was hoping this may be a common thing and somebody could suggest something. For the MAF...

So I know all about the 1986 HO 302... E6 heads, true flat top pistons... What do you think I can get away with as far as mods without running into problems with the shortblock? I hear of people running B cams and even 40x heads with no problems.. what do you think? It would be nice to know...

I want to get a set of draglites for my '86 GT daily driver. The whole sizing / backspacing numbers always confuse me so i'll just ask. I have the stock quadshocks in the back, should i still go with the 15x8 in the back? Also, what backspacing? I'm going to run a smaller street tire like a...

Ok we have a new T5, new clutch, new PP, TOB, resurfaced flywheel, etc. on a 5.0 Engine runs fine, clutch FEELS fine, but we cannot put the car in gear with the motor running and clutch in. I tried starting the motor with the car in gear and the clutch pedal in, and it launched the car...

my dad has a really nice '78 II hatch. completely restored. we got a carbureted HO 308 in it and I was just wondering about exhaust. what do you guys do? there is barely any room for the stock manifolds. any special headers made for the II's?

i just got my 331 running. everything is new- motorsport flywheel, romac balancer, clutch. it vibrates pretty bad when it hits about 2000 rpm. its the eagle 331 with srp pistons. they said it was an internally balanced motor, so i got the 0 balance flywheel and balancer, i started it up and...

i have a quick question. i am lazy and i really dont want to check my piston to valve clearance before I start my new engine. I have the eagle 331 kit with SRP flat top pistons. they have really big notches in them too. with any common sense during engineering, i would assume they build...
