    Which T5 shifter to buy?

    Tremec reccomends not using an after market shifter as they say it will damage the internals of the tranny. They say that it is already a short throm right? I'll see if I can find the info. Gary

    COOLING MY BLOWER- RUNNING 220 HOT, WHY?

    Did you burp your Radiator. You said all your stuff was new so maybe you have an air bubble/pocket. The alternator may be your problem and since you need to replace it anyways try that too. Also if your fan is the Black Magic 18 inch fan (Flex-A-Lite part no FLX-175) then it flows 2800cfm...

    Starter Troubles

    Is the Bendix part of the starter? If it is then it is good. PA Performance only uses new stuff to build their starters. If not how do I get to it to check it out? If it is bad where do I get a new one? Thanks, Mo' Town

    Starter Troubles

    Hmm fuel filter...it is cheap, and to be honest I haven't done my "Power Tune Up" yet. :notnice: Yes the car bogs down if I peg it or roll into the throttle. But why did the other starter go? I know that a "hung" starter can cause these problems too. By "hung" I mean that the starter stays...

    Starter Troubles

    I just installed a brand new PA Performance starter in my 87 GT 5 speed yesterday. The factory starter went bad. It is still having the problems that led the original starter to go though. If I rev the engine in neutral or with the clutch pushed in it revs as it should. But if the tranny...

    Help with diagnosis of problems

    Let's see where to start. I bought a used 87 GT here in Germany. I got alot of interior parts withy it so it was a good deal. Recently it started making a noise similar to when the fan clutch went out on my 89 LX 5.0. In brief it "Whooshes" and as the RPMs build it gets louder. I...

    Carb vs. EFI and more 351w Questions

    Pretty much. But remember that a carb uses a lower pressure fuel pump, and no fuel rails. Me personally I go EFI, especially since you alreay have all of the stuff for it. It's more tunable, it's better overall. No need to keep messing with the carb for street and track. But this is just my...

    Carb vs. EFI and more 351w Questions

    If you are going to be using your current car, then the carb would probably be more expensive. The carb would need a new low pressure fuel pump, carb intake, carb. The EFI would need a new lower intake. Thats it. I mean besides the normal 351W swap stuff, motor mounts, oil pan, headers...and...

    Need advice on parts shopping.

    I need some suggestions, I have $1000 to spend on my recently acquired 87 Mustang. This is my list of things I want to do eventually, not necessarily out of the $1000. Suspension 5-lug SN95 conversion gears (3.55) interior redo (its currently the tan GT interior, FUGLY) heads (maybe...

    Saleen rear spoiler vs Steeda rear spoiler for Fox Mustangs

    speed freak: the mustang is owned by another US servicemember. It is a US spec car, the reason I am getting it so cheap is he didnt get it inspected prior to leaving and he had to give Power of Attorney for someone else to sell it. The seller only had three monthes to sell it and I think he's...

    Saleen rear spoiler vs Steeda rear spoiler for Fox Mustangs

    The tire issue has already is being addressed, I am going to get these replica black Bullit wheels of of EBAY for 399, they are 17x9, then I'll run 245/45ZR17 front and 275/40ZR17 on the rear. That is a little down the road as I am in the process of assembling the necessary parts for the SN95...

    Saleen rear spoiler vs Steeda rear spoiler for Fox Mustangs

    How do you guys think it will look on a GT. I think it would look good on a LX, but... Oh yeah the car I'm looking at already has the Saleen wing. I just want to know which one creates more rear downforce for the high speed cruising it will be doing. Mo' Town

    Saleen rear spoiler vs Steeda rear spoiler for Fox Mustangs

    Saleen rear wing vs Steeda rear wing Does anybody have experience with either one vs each other or vs factory GT or LX spoiler. I have heard that the LX spoiler is better than the GT spoiler. For those who haven't seen a Steeda wing for the foxes here is a link to one: Steeda Rear Aero Wing...

    Insights/advice -- squeezing in a 351W

    It depends on many different things. The intake you will be running, the block you use (ie deck height, 9.200" or 9.500"), motor mounts, etc. I also think that if you use a aftermarket K-member that will have some bearing. Just to be safe I'd run at least a 1.5" cowl hood, when I do my 4 cyl...

    The Truth about FOX FRONT BRAKES!

    I thought I had an article that showed the differences between slotted/cross drilled rotors and stock brakes, but both that I found are "Big brake conversions" so they would be invalid. I am not nearly as "brainy" :shrug: as some of you guys on here, but if anyone can find a comparison between...

    Anyone have a fiberglass hatch ?

    I have heard that the fiberglass isn't really good for street car. The reason being that the fiberglass doesn't stand up well to the opening and closing, and that the shocks for the hatch will actually break the fiberglass hatch. The only fix I could see would be the get weaker shocks, and...

    What hood do I need?

    Would I be able to run the 1 1/2 inch hood? I really want to attempt to maintain the sleeper look. Of course I could do a Saleen body kit, and that 2000 Cobra R hood...hmmm Mo' Town :flag:
