    Kenne bell blowers look like...

    totally agree. I don't get why they can't come up with a more modern lower intake manifold (instead of using the stock/GT 40 lower) that looks like the 4.6 kenne bell set up. the vacuum cleaner imitation/off to the side set up looks super fugly. that being said, i still want one and don't...

    Sounds like someone has found a new use for that stinky gear oil...good thing it withstands high temperatures.

    thanks for the info gentlemen! i knew the 31's would be overkill, but i just figured room to grow when the engine does.

    100% correct - the gear oil smell is pretty bad, even new. The new bearing kit and diff were leaving the Mercury smelling for a few days even after the parts were taken OUT of the trunk. Kurt -as far as welding the tubes goes, I don't think it's in the cards at the moment. I'm also not...

    It's kitty litter soaking up rear gear oil. It seemed like every time we shifted the axle around during the tear down, more would leak out (from the axle tubes or the back of the pumpkin). I got quite a bit of rust/dust in my eyes when removing the dogbone though. Lesson learned - put on...

    Check this sweet ride, racing tires and all

    forgot to add that the price is likely reflective of its quarter mile time. 1000+ dollars for each second you cruise down the track seems reasonable...go cobra go also worth mentioning that a brand new V6/5 speed started at 13/14k in 1994. makes that buy it now price of 17000 even scarier.

    Check this sweet ride, racing tires and all

    I'm betting that what really happened goes something like this: a body shop took a smashed up or used up V6 that was purchased on the cheap, gave it a hood and paint, stuffed a 289 they had laying around into the engine bay and, i'm willing to bet, attached it to the V6 tranny/rearend. then...

    How much power is bumping the timing really worth?

    Ok here's a thought (that I would hate to be true), but on the rebuilt motor are they e7 heads? or are they older truck/crown vic heads? some of the rebuilders in my area do some shady chit like that and sell them as "mustang engines" again, cool swap. looking forward to the updates. I...

    How much power is bumping the timing really worth?

    a few thoughts on this one. i feel like there are way too many variables to pin this down, but here are my ideas: 1. increased weight vs. the 94/95 coupe Reinhold Racing - Mustang weight information 2. are you positive about the gears on the 99? I'm assuming you checked the tag on the...

    4 eye T-top, or keep the '95?

    Engine dies when shifting from park to rev or drive

    I had/continue to have the same issue with mine. I changed the TPS and IAC sensors and put a PA performance high output alternator on (to offset the underdrive pulleys a bit) and the issue is better, but still not gone. My MAF is new, so I know that it's not dirty, but you might want to clean...

    Garage Heating Solutions?

    Alright gents, doing a little bit of forward planning. I want to work on the Mustang over the winter to update various suspension and rear end bits, but unfortunately the garage is detached, brick, and no insulation or inside walls. Just the outer face brick on all four sides and the inner...

    PA Performance 200 amp alternator

    Has anyone installed one of these? If so, did you have to grind the accessory bracket or was it a direct fit? I am hoping that the bracket grinding only applies to fox body owners! Anyways, satin black alternator and power upgrade wire should be going on soon. Looks sweet just sitting...

    Radiator comparison: Mishimoto v Fluidune

    I am also torn between the two - mainly due to the "issues" with the mishimoto. Are there any confirmed cases of Mishi issues on Stangnet? Would like to see what the problems are before I lay down any money. Also, anyone running a Canton expansion tank? Probably gonna upgrade that at the...
