    TKO 600 swap, 26 spline disc

    I recently sold my '89 stang and ended up buying a 92lx coupe equipped with a custom single turbo kit. The car is awesome and has 405hp and 440tq at 6psi of boost, and a conservative tune. Anyways, I bought the car with a worldclass T-5 in it and knew I would eventually blow it up, and sure...

    Wiring Problem

    One day my car began to acclerate very roughly below 2000rpms and then lose power up top past 3500rpms. I went to pull the codes and noticed a wire that looked as if it was pinched from its proper place. The wire is located near the firewall of the drivers side right by the brake master...

    x-cam clearance

    Alright so my situation is a little different than the typical clearance questions regarding the x-cam. I have a friend with a 306 bottom end who bent the #5 connecting rod when a lower intake manifold gasket failed and sent coolant into the combustion chamber. This happened while he was in...

    experiencing valve float?

    I installed a tfs1 cam a few weeks ago and am a little disappointed with the results. The car sounds great and has a strong pull at 3000rpms but begins to lose power above 4500rpms. I was being cheap and didn't replace the valve springs on my 97 explorer gt40 iron heads. I read they were...

    Car dies after an hour!

    As the title says, my car has been dying after about an hour of stop and go driving in warm weather. It always happens when I come to a stop and suddenly the idle will drop to around 600rpm and if I try and give it gas I can keep it running for a second, but eventually it will just die out no...

    GT40 junkyard heads

    I just bought some gt40 heads from a junkyard here in houston, $200 for the pair. The guy told me they were off a 98 explorer so i was expecting p heads, however when he brought them out i noticed the three bars and the gt cast in the head. I'm guessing that the heads must be off a 96 explorer...

    Vibration and grinding

    Ok.. so i pretty sure that the driveshaft is causing a lot of the vibrations im feeling because they are most prevalent at highway speeds, however i still have some vibration when revving the car in neutral. Also, these vibrations are causing the shift from 3rd to 4th to grind when the rpm's...

    My aod to T-5 swap has been finished for some time now and i just recently installed a new T-5 tranny because the first T-5 had some problems grinding gears. Well I installed the new T-5 this weekend and have been driving around without getting on it too much and i noticed that while driving...

    3rd and 4th grind

    Ok so my aod to T-5 swap is finally complete. I go to take her for a drive and as i go to slide it into 3rd gear it grinds and finally pops in with a little force; the same goes for fourth. Every other gear shifts smoothly which leads me to believe that it must be the synchronizer for third...
