    8.8 Help

    It's easy to tell an 8.8, just look at the shocks....If I'm not mistaken, the 8.8s were the only ones to come out with 4 shocks on either side of the car. If you have a total of 8 shocks on the rearend, it's an 8.8. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    Has anyone ever dyed there carpet/seats/or headliner?

    I have dyed the seats and plastic trim in my son's stang....Dupli-Color Vinyl/Fabric Dye available at Auto-Zone. The plastic trim pieces are holding up perfect, couldn't ask for better. The fabric, however, is another story. It seems the driver's seat is fading back like it was, Of course it...

    Help an old man out.....

    I appreciate your concern, but believe me, I have thought about it long and hard before I decided to do it. Yes, he is 16, and it is HIS first car. He has been driving mine since he was around 12. He is a very responsible driver for his age, and I believe he can handle that kind of power...

    Help an old man out.....

    I thought about a 351, but I already have a 5.0 to start with, so I'm just going with that.

    Help an old man out.....

    lmfao...thanks, but he would probably disagree with you sometimes about being lucky I'm his dad. But, I'm still young enough to remember what it was like to be 16 and want a bad car, so I'm just trying to help him out a little.

    Help an old man out.....

    Yeah, he has a buddy that has a blown '73 chevy pickup pushing around 850 horses....Not street driveable....and an older blown mustang pushing around 600 horses as his daily driver. I'v already told him though, anything like that will be up to him if and when HE can afford it.

    Installed New Door Armrest Pads...

    I saw some 86 armrests on ebay the other day....I'm sure they probably have some to fit a 90 as well. Even if they are the wrong color, there are several good vinyl dyes that could change them to whatever color you want.

    Help an old man out.....

    Yeah, been there and done that. That's why I'm stopping at whatever setup I decide on. I told my son I would build him a good strong engine, and anything after that, whether it be adding more mods or having to rebuild because he blew it up, was totally in his hands. Since he doesn't yet have...

    Help an old man out.....

    Thanks....He is a good kid. If he was anything like I was at 16, he sure wouldn't be getting a stout motor.....He probably would have a 4 cylinder pickup or something..lol....

    Help an old man out.....

    See, this is where I don't know my but from a hole in the ground....I have no idea which flowmasters are on it. Heck, they didn't even HAVE flowmasters when I was messing around racing....pretty much all we ever had performance wise was glass packs, or straight pipes...

    Help an old man out.....

    When I say "daily driver", I mean "Street Legal". My son doesn't put that many miles on his car, just basically to school and back during the week, and hundred or so miles on the weekend.

    Help an old man out.....

    Right now the stang has 2.5" flowmasters with offroad H-pipe...Will this let that many horses breathe alright?

    Help an old man out.....

    Yeah, I know the heads are crap on the 86. They are speed density, and I already have a mass air computer and wiring harness, so I'm good to go on that. The engine I'm rebuilding is not an 86. It is, I believe, a 90 model. And yes, it will be a daily driven car....at least that's the plan.

    Help an old man out.....

    Money is not really a problem, well, it is, but I am in no hurry to get this done since the motor I want to stroke is not the one in his car...I came up with another engine. Since I don't care how long this project takes, I can stretch out the cost.

    Help an old man out.....

    I just got my son his first car, an 86 GT 5.0, and driving it brought back the h*ll raiser in me. Now I want to put more ponies in the mustang. The only problem is, it's been so long since I have messed with engines, I don't know anything about them anymore. I want to push 350-400 horses. I...
