    4.11 gears

    You probably spend less in gas than what you'd spend in gas with a truck and trailer. Were are you guys getting 3000 rpm? @ 75mph with a 26 tire and a.68 overdrive I get 2700. I run 4.10s in my car with no worries on the highway. I can see were parrish would suck some gas with a 347, but a...

    2.95 1st gear - anyone have it?

    I have a 2.95 gear conversion to my T5. So I have the .59 overdrive. I'm running 3.73s out back. On the street IMO would be better. Track performance would all depend on your setup. As for overall ratio the 2.95 box needs 3.55s to have the same overall ratio as a 3.35 box with 3.08s. The...

    Opinion needed on paint for GT..

    I like the paint layout, but.. I'd stay with the stock hood and let the paint job be the eye catcher. I think a different hood would "fight" for attention with the paint job for attention. A less aggressive hood like a 1.5" cowl would complment the paint work.

    What to use...FMS "B" Cam or "E" Cam ???

    I'm running an E cam with 1.7s. It was a little lazy on the bottom end so on the advise of "Thumper" I advanced it 4 degrees. Wow! what a differance it made. I know a lot of guys advance the B-cam as well even though it had a 5 degree advance ground into it. Advancing it would put the ICL around...

    Official Thread of Applicable Junkyard parts for Foxes

    Not to mention the SN95 MAF works great. That's what I'm running with no issues at all. The electronics are suppose to be almost identical to a FOX so other than the mount its plug and play.

    OMFG! BBK X O/R sounds like a tin can

    I have a BBK X pipe with a set of MAC flowpaths and kind of like the odd sound. I had the same X pipe with some Hooker Aero Chambers and it sounded really bad. I also have had a Dr. Gas and it was a lot smoother sounding. I'm going back to long tubes and the Dr. Gas X pipe next weekend so we'll...

    GT-40 INTAKE ???'S

    For that price I'd say its a pretty fair deal for those parts. The down side is the with out the blower or some more mods the 36# injectors are over kill and would most likely give you idle problems without a custom tune. If you don't mind putting the MAF and injectors on the shelf or swaping...

    full length or shorties?

    Collector design plays a big part in how well long tubes work. There was a dyno test between unequal, equal, 1-5/8 LT and 1-3/4 LTs all from BBK. The equal length shorties and 1-5/8 LTs made real simuliar power. The 1-3/4 LTs made a little more. All (4) styles had the factor style collector...

    Nothing positive about the GT-40 Intake?

    The explorer intake is basicly a prodution cobra intake. You can port the GT-40 lowers to flow up into the 270-280 after reshaping the runners. At that point the upper becomes the restriction (IIRC 240cfm). The ture GT-40 uppers are not really portable, but the Cobra/Explorer intakes are. The...

    '90 GT instrument cluster lights + upgrade

    I saw a simuliar type problem in an sn95. It turned out to be I missed a body ground when swaping engines. Not sure if it would be the same here or not.

    ratech, solid spacer pinion shim setup

    You don't need the torque with the spacer/shim kit becuase you don't have a crush sleeve. Getting a crush sleeve to start crushing takes a bunch. We actualy lifted an F150 off the jack stands doing it. (Three guys and a real long pipe lol)

    flowtech headers

    I have used Flowtech long tubes in the past. I prefer them because they have the old fashioned 3 bolt 3" collector. BBK (not sure on MAC) use a ball socket colloctor for 2-1/2. A while back one of the mags did a dyno test on the four versions of BBK headers (unequal/equal shorties 1-5/8 & 1-3/4...

    Forgive me, I may have sinned...

    There was a guy around here that converted a '84 with a 460 to a turbo 2.3. So its not that crazy. IIRC he actualy made it into one of the Mustang Mags.

    Long Tubes

    Those mid lengths look like some older Headmans that my buddy had years ago. The BBK's IMO are all right for a pretty tame setup, but they only have a 2-1/2 collector so the limit power. A while back one of the mags had a dyno test of all the different BBK headers and the long tubes made just...

    where to find p/s pully?

    IIRC you can a pulley from a 94 up 3.8L v6 as an under drive pulley for power steering. Might be easier to find in junkyard than a V8 pulley.

    Best year/type of mustang for drags

    For a straight up drag car I'd go with a four eyed notch. They are all ready carbed (except for 86) and usally lighter than the newer models. A four eyed notch would be the best choice all around.

    aluminum vs. iron heads

    The old racers rule is if you run aluminum heads you'll need to run 1 more point of compression compaired to an iron head. That is with everything being the same. Most of the aluminum heads out are of a better design than the iron heads and therefore out perform the iron designs. As with...

    What does the cable that runs from the AOD shifter to the steering column do?

    nothing major. IIRC it keeps the shifter from being taken out of gear without the key in the run position.
