I am swapping my dash, and after hooking up any connections that I can find the car will not start. It will turn over, but when I turn the key to the on position, I do not hear the fuel pump energize. Is there something I am missing? I still have the gauge cluster out. Is there some connection...

Could someone tell me if it's worth it to convert an 87 lx over to a carbuerator? What are the pros and cons of the switch? What do I need to change besides the obvious parts? What about the computer? I thought fuel injection was indeed better, but I've heard otherwise. Thanks for your time.

Has anyone installed the speedware gauges in their stangs? I have an 87, and I got my set delivered today. Doesn't look too hard to install. Any tips would be appreciated, thanks.

Has anyone replaced your foxes carpet? I will do mine, but I never have before. Any tips? Does it just lay on the floor, or is it fastened some how? Thanks.

Does anyone have the S.L.N. spoiler from Design concepts? I'm looking into buying the sln wing for my lx hatchback, because I like the look of the saleen spoilers. How is the quality, are they worth it? Do they bolt in place using the holes from a gt wing?

My pump is really noisy, I can hear it over the engine, so I think it's time for a new one. Is there any drawback to replacing the stock pump pushing about 95lph, with a bbk pushing either 110 or 155lph? Does this effect peformance? They make it sound like it's a stock replacement, so swaping it...

I have 3.27 gears in my 87 lx 5.0. Would I see a worthwhile gain going to 3.73s or 4.10s? I have the aod. I don't want the car to run too high into the r's on the freeway as I'll be driving it on there from time to time. Is there much of a performance gain switching from the 3.27s or are they...

I was looking to get your input on where you set your timing. Those of you that have advanced their timing, how far have you gone on it? Did you notice a power or fuel mileage increase? It sounds like this could possibly be a good free way to make a few extra ponies.Thanks.

I'm looking to hear your views on this topic. Trying to decide what to get and I keep hearing good things about the pro chamber. Is it better than a traditional off road h pipe? And why? How about the install? Do the pro chambers hold up well, even against the rust factor? Any responses are...

Anybody running the catco stainless steel catalytic catted h pipe? If so is it a big improvement over stock? Thanks.

When I go to install the gt 40 intake I'm buying at the end of the month, would it be a better idea to change the tb or throw in a set of roller rockers? Which is the better mod to do with the increased airflow I would get with the intake over the stock unit? I think both the tb and rockers...

johnt, I will let you know, I'm picking it up on the 27th. As soon as I get it installed I will get back to you. Wiggy

Thanks for your response!

I was wondering if a gt 40 intake will bolt up to an otherwise stock 5.0 and use the stock throttle body and any other stock parts. I can get an intake for $375 in good condition, just wanted to make sure I wouldn't need to buy any other parts right now.

Found an almost complete interior yesterday for 100 bucks! Out of an 85 gt, will use it all but the carpeting, dash, and console. That leaves me with some extra cash!!!!!!!!! Maybe I'll pick up one of the ported lowers, and see if that does anything. Thanks for all the replies. I might also pick...

Is it possible to install the interior from an 85/86 gt into an 87 lx? I found a donor gt at a junkyard yesterday with a good interior. Obviously I'm not worried about the seats bolting in but I was concerned about all the trim pieces. Would the screw holes still be in the same spots? Or did...

right now it probably needs the paint and interior first.

It's tax time, and after paying some bills off, I will have an extra 1,500 left to "invest" in my mustang. It's an 87 lx 5.0 and it has the subframe connectors, underdrive pullies, and an accel supercoil. What mods do you recommend I do. The car is in need of an entire interior, and paint job...

Thinking of swaping in a 5 speed and was wondering which tranny is better and why. Any durability difference between them making one better than the other? Is there a big price difference? I know alot of guys go with the t-5, just curious on how the tremec matches up, and which model they go...

The previous message is right. Either you have a one piece bushing in the mounting holes or you have two seperate ones in each hole. I changed my rack out on my 87 5.0 lx and I had the trw rack with the one piece bushings. The guy at napa ordered me the rack with two bushings, so I just put the...
