    Thinking Volvo 5.0 .......

    :hail2: :hail2: :hail2: :drool: :drool: That about sums it up... Yeah, optimism has reared it's ugly head again, for i thought it might all just magically connect.... :shrug: why wouldn't it? :rolleyes: I'll do some more research and see what I come up with, if i'm gona go w/...

    Thinking Volvo 5.0 .......

    So with some minor fab work it all bolts together, then where does the 2k conversion cost come in, is that including buying the motor, trans, and volvo? I was thinking getting a dirt cheap volvo (i've seen some for $500) and then borrowing parts out of my car (engine/trans). I've got a metal...

    Thinking Volvo 5.0 .......

    Yeah Michael, i want all 3..... It's the 'dark side' of optamism, i figure i can do anything and it'll work :) I might just save that plan for a later date then, or at least look a whole lot more into it before i decide. Thanks a ton for the input though, it really helps! Now back to square 1...

    Thinking Volvo 5.0 .......

    Thanks guys! The multiplying cost and time is probably a good idea, i have a big habbit of being overly optamistic..... The van is a good idea, we might still do it, but that's too straight forward ;) i want another project (i think) How do you make a mini van cool? Michael, do you have...

    Thinking Volvo 5.0 .......

    Ok, it's my senior year of high school and me and my buddies had a great sceme to buy a used school bus and take it on a massive road trip. Alas we ran into insurance problems and cost problems (5mpg really would cost a ton :D ) so it's highly doubtful it's gonna happen. Then I got to thinking...

    engine swap into? volvo? mazda? more????

    I'm not sure but i'd be willing to guess it depends on the tools you have, like welder, cutting tools :) and such, because I'm sure you could fit a 5.0 in anything under the sun for the most part with enough money and the right equipment to do it with, so it all depends on your ambition...

    car turned off turing rushour

    Yep, I'd check your TFI module, those will fail when they get hot, and if your just sitting waiting in rush hour then that could do it. I hear you can test it by starting your engine and taking a heat gun (or hot hair dryer) and blowing on it and seeing if your car dies. Have to be careful...

    Bi-Fuel with Natural Gas??

    Thanks Michael, I was hoping a guru like you would add their $.02, that's what I was sort of afraid of, guess i'll just have to bite the bullet and pay... I thought it was a neat idea though, I just hate paying so much for gas. (imagine that) Thanks! -Bart

    gas gauge is a POS!!

    Same problem, mine goes up past the "F" and stays there till about 50mi go by, it's usually at about 115mi at 1/2 tank and a line or so above empty it's at about 220mi, before I knew i really had a 15 gal tank i'd fill it up when it was on "E" and my fuel light was on and only put in 10 gal, now...

    Bi-Fuel with Natural Gas??

    Well, this great spike in gas prices (we're up to about $2.20/gal. in Oregon) has got me thinking about trying something different so I don't have to pay those greedy buggers. So I was thinking, we have a natural gas hookup at my house, so I could get "free" natural gas (parents ;) ) and not...

    >>>WHICH MUSTANG SHOULD I GET??????

    For burnouts on an auto; i'd reccomend having either a) insane ammounts of power so that whenever you punch it it breaks loose or b) power braking (aka: brake torqueing). I've done that on our F-350 and it works like a champ. All you do is put one foot on each pedal, and just keep enough...

    You can't have nothing in this world because of f&%^in criminals

    A line from Pulp Fiction comes to mind while reading this "I mean, what is more dickless than *ucking with another man's car?" It seems to fit the situation. I hope it all works out ok, i would be out to kill if someone did that to my car. In that situation i'd be almost tempted to go, fix...

    Exhaust question

    I've got just what your talking about, pretty much, stock H-pipe to mufflers (raptors) to turn downs, i really don't mind it that much, i doubt it really makes it louder though?? I've allways had my setup like that and it hasn't driven me crazy. If you want louder then you'd probably want to...

    97 miles to tank ... bolt on GT?

    How much are you putting in every time? (gallons) It seems you probably have other problems too but your fuel gauge could also be off some, i know mine says my tank is empty when i still have 5 gallons to go, so that could be one of the issues. It might be worth taking it to a dealer and let...

    Who makes overdrive pulleys for Mustangs?

    Overdrive pullies?? are those bigger pullies that make things spin faster? As to your problem, just put in a 3G, it's not hard at all, and you'll be set, your 2G stock alternater is bound to gernade on you sometime, and if your lucky you can convice the "smart" people at your local autozone or...

    I have $2000 looking for 300hp and low 13's-high 12's

    Start off with a disclamer; i could be very wrong :shrug: What i was thinkin, could you get a 347 kit for 2k? I mean, bigger is better, so i'd think that'd get 300 hp? I'm not postive about any of this, just guesses, but i'd think if you went 347 now, you'd have a lot of options for later. One...

    How big is a stock gas tank?

    Ok, thanks, any way to calibrate my gauge? or just buy a new one? how much do new fuel gauges cost? Thanks! -Bart
