    Done with paint. What do you guys think?

    Thanks for the good words! Also, I wanted to point out that I had all the badging taken off and the holes filled. This includes GT emblems on both fenders, Ford emblem on deck lid, radio antenna and the holes for the spoiler. I really wanted it clean. Thanks again.

    Done with paint. What do you guys think?

    So, the side skirts still need to be put on, but the paint is done. Can you believe this car used to be white/white? Yes, the motor and trans were pulled so that everything under the hood could be painted too. Let me know what you guys think. This car hasn't made it out anywhere yet and...

    Crappy Ford TOB's

    Related question. I threw a rod bearing in my 98 GT, so I replaced the whole motor with a 03 PI GT. At the same time, I replaced the clutch. Now I've got a clutch noise that I'm dealing with. The clutch performs perfectly. But has a slight vibration/knock/rubbing when the pedal is...

    4.6 2V Timing Chain Tensioner - Dowel

    Hey all, I've got an issue. I have a 98GT that I spun a rod bearing in, so I'm replacing the whole motor with a PI engine out of a 2003. I found the 03 motor cheap because it came out of a wrecked GT that had front end damage. Included with the front end damage was a cracked up timing chain...

    Lifting Engine Out

    Ok, So last weekend I decided to spin a rod bearing in my 98 GT. So yesterday I bought a PI motor out of a 2003 GT. Now here's the questions... When pulling the existing motor out, where do I pull from? I know on previous cars that I've worked on, I've always mounted a plate or something...

    ROD KNOCK.......NEED HELP

    So you're telling me high RPM's for a long time are bad? Found out the hard way yesterday driving against a Corvette. Now I'm hoping to find a shop to put a new crank in and bearings for a relatively good price. Anybody have an idea on how many hours of labor it would take to replace the...

    Engine / Trans. Knock

    Ok, just went out and started digging around underneath it while it was running. It seems more and more like it's coming from the top back part of the engine, it can be heard faintly at low RPM's with your ear almost agains the motor, then pretty loud above 2200 or so. Does somebody have a...

    Engine / Trans. Knock

    Was out yesterday doing a little performance driving (30 mile curvy stretch), I was really pushing the car to it's limits. At one point I came to a stop and noticed that I had a "knock" noise coming from the firewall area. It doesn't knock from idle to 2200RPM. Also, I can feel it in the...

    Idle issue - Side exit exhaust

    Car: 1998 GT Entirely stock (winter "beater") First off, I believe the cats are plugged on it. I have a weird idle thing going on every once and a while, so I looked at the simple stuff first: idle air control valve, throttle cable, etc... I've pretty much narrowed down the problem to...

    Oil pan leak

    I've got an '87 Cougar with the 5.0L that about 8 months ago I blew the tranny on. At that point I figured since I was pulling the motor out to take the tranny into the shop I would also fix the oil leaks that were coming from the valve cover gaskets, and the oil pan gasket. I also decided to...
