    Engine Flat tappet to Roller?

    I’m a engine novice but learning a lot, so thank you for expertise and advice: I have an all stock 1982 gt 5.0 needing rebuilt/fixed. Can I rebuild the engine and swap the current flat tappet set up for a roller cam, rod, and lifters? Or is it better to just buy a whole explorer roller...

    Yes. Going to reupholster but keep traditional headrest and recaro foam.

    I like #9 post too. I think the best part of this Mustang is the originality. I wouldn't do too much to it but it needs a bit extra for performance. The 1982 5.0 is a dog with only 157 hp. :(

    Salvage Yard Build

    Car sat since 1994 in a barn and hasn't been ran. Did the usual things to an old non running engine like new battery, change oil, gas, lube cylinder walls, but it did not run. I poured gas down the carb and it turned over but that's it. I'm thinking fuel pump/filter is next weekend project and...

    Your thoughts please

    First off.. This forum commends you for keeping your Fox and in such a pristine condition! Your 89 is truly clean and beautiful. I think you would forever miss it. Another Con on selling: You're selling to a woman and she'll wreck it! ;-) If you're really that bored or just like tinkering on...

    Auto to Manual Swap, problems please help

    Thats strange, I would think they'd line up- bolt and play, no cutting required. You sure its from an 87?

    My Spring Project

    I read about flattening the dust caps. Just practically taking a mallet to them- Do you think this will be enough to clear the center caps in the 5 lug swap kit?

    My Spring Project

    I would like to start off saying: Like many of you I have a passion for the fox mustang and love Stangnet.com and everything they've done for us. However, unlike many of you I am not a mechanic guru, and do not have alot of knowledge about the fox and its parts. Thus, I come for support and...

    Electrical Drainage?!

    Every year it seems like I have to buy a new battery for my stang. This is getting old cause these batteries are high quality and supposed to last for 3 years. I dont drive my fox often, its garaged most of the winter so I can understand how the battery would go dead but if I don't drive it for...

    Reverse lights went out.

    I just went out there, It's not the bulbs nor the fusebox #5 breaker. So I figure my next move is to jack the car and take a look at the#18 BACK UP LIGHT SWITCH? Could it have jiggled loose over the dirt roads?

    Reverse lights went out.

    Both of my reverse lights went out. My take is that both lights didn't just happen to burn out. So how do I fix this? Is there a switch that got fried or what?
