    Rack & Pinion- Power vs. Non

    I have been researching R&P front ends for my 69 and really like the Total cost involved (TCI) set-up. You may want to check them out as they are cost competitive with TCP. Good luck

    StangNet '11 5.0 Notch Project

    As far as brakes are concerned I would like to throw my vote in for the Griggs 4 on 4 system. Since you are going with Griggs suspension components maybe they will make you a package deal. Ok I really want you to do this and tell me how well they work as I am thinking about them for my 91 GT vert.

    V10 in a restomod?

    thanks for the posts. I think all points have merit. I do not care what it sounds like as much as the performance especially of I add turbos. Definitely will use a 3V motor and if it is aluminum??? so much the better. Now I need to find a car and then a motor and then a trans and then a whole...

    V10 in a restomod?

    definitely was thinking of a torino or galaxie 500 for this project. The coolness factor, EFI and truck type torque are what got me thinking. Of course fuel economy with a modern overdrive auto. THEN we slap a twin turbo on that sucker and fry the tires . . .

    V10 in a restomod?

    anyone ever looked into stuffing a new Triton V10 truck motor in a classic? I wonder if it will fit width wise. It may have to go into something other than a mustang. What does everyone think?

    Griggs disc brake conversion?

    Awesome. That is exactly what I was hoping to hear. I really like the idea of 4 pots in the back. Everyone else just sells 2 pot fronts singles in the rear unless you want to upgrade ($$$$$) to the 6 pot calipers in the front. I will definitely check out pricing and purt this on the short list...

    Griggs disc brake conversion?

    I was just at Road Atlanta and talked to all of the brake manufacturers (SSBC, Baer, Wilwood) and although they have great products I was not happy with the price. So has anyone tried or is using the 4on4 system that Griggs racing is selling? If so how do you like it and was it really complete...

    A4LD rebuild?

    I am looking to put a turbo 2.3 in my ranger. It currently has a 3.0 6cyl with the A4LD transmission. My question is can I beef up this tranny to withstand the motor. Is there a good aftermarket rebuild kit? I am not going to get to radical with the turbo but I have already rebuilt this trans 1...

    max motorsports panhard par

    I had exhaust issues with my MM panhard bar also. I had to drop down from 2 1/2 to 2 1/4" pipe over the axle. Not a big deal, 10 minutes in a muffler shop. The panhard bar and everything else from MM works as advertised and I highly recommend getting one. If you do get MM stuff, or anyone elses...

    Disconnect my battery to do some work. Reconnected afterwards and I had interior lights, fuel pump would come on. Turn key and nothing. Then the lights are gone and no fuel pump. I had the battery tested and charged. Reinstalled, turned the key to start and it is now dead again. Completely...

    What is this electrical connection?

    I was cleaning my MAF sensor last night and noticed in the wiring harness bundle that one of my connectors was undone. It is a plug that points down and looks like it goes to something mounted under the alternator. I cleaned the conectors real good and put it back together. Problem is now my car...

    EGR block off plate?

    My tuner wants to put an EGR block off plate on my 91 5.0 and then tune. Why would we want to do this? Will it help with tuning? My car currently suffers from Surge idle when I first start it up. Idles real high then shuts off. Sometimes goes away when warmed up sometimes not. I have not tried...

    pounds per horsepower?

    Sorry been away all weekend. Car may be heavier due to subframes and other suspension components. Definitley looking to add aluminum heads but also want a power adder, KB or Turbo.
