    Which one would you rather own/drive and why?

    If you don't mind going used, then look into Mercedes-Benz. We picked-up an 2002 E320 4Matic with about 60k on it for less than $20k. They killed us on the excise tax, but it's a great car, looks really nice and the v6 in it will surprise you for the size of car that it is. It's more about...

    has anyone installed their own gears....

    You can get the dial indicator and magnetic base at Harbor Freight for like $15. The Harbor Freight store in OKC is on Reno just west of MacArthur. That's where I got mine. Try to see if you can find the video that Richmond gears put out (Summit Racing has it) about installing gears. It's...

    So how old is everyone?

    39 (for only two more months :notnice: ). Working as a Environmental Project Manager for my wife's company even though I am actually an Electronics Technician. We have been married for 17 yrs. I have been working for her for about 3 1/2 years now. Four dogs and no children...

    Hey Guero, look what I got.

    Nice gun. And it's always cool to get one handled down like that, lots of great strories behind it I'm sure. Reminds me of when I was a kid and my uncle would bring his out and we'd all go shooting at turtles and stuff with it. Hell, I was just a skinny little kid and could handle that thing...

    460 Conversion

    Yeah, the plugs look really easy to get to. I don't know why either other than all the factory wiring harness is gone and lots of spacing between the exhaust ports. Those are Hooker Super Comp headers on there and there seems to be a lot of room still left in the engine bay.

    460 Conversion

    I guess I'll bring this old thread back to life. For those who say that the big 460 won't fit under the stock hood.... :eek: I bought this recently off of ebay (when will I learn to stay away from there? LOL!!). The previous owner had done all of this. It fits under the...

    Radiator?

    Another thing to check is the two main radiator hoses. If they do not have the spring inside of them, they could be collapsing when the rpms are high. It would only be one of the hoses, but I can't remember which one. Just look under the hood at the hoses and rev it and see if either of the...

    '94 mustang 5.0 swap

    Mine has been done for right at two years now. It really wasn't too bad of a swap really. I'm still running the original v6's t-5 tranny (with the 5.0 bellhousing and clutch) and the original rear in it too, but I put in a t-loc and some 3:73 gears just for fun. Danny (sorscode) helped out...

    shaker hood scoop

    Yep, Prokiller is correct. Classic Design Concepts is the company. They had the write-up I mentioned earlier in the 5.0 Mustang and Fast Fords magazine in november 2004. They said it would cost about $795. They don't list it on their website anymore, but they have the ones for the modular...

    shaker hood scoop

    I see that this is your first post, so welcome to Stangnet! About the shaker; 5.0 Mustang magazine had an article about one. It seems like it was about last year sometime that the story ran. I'll look through my magazine library and see if I can get the month for you. It was a nice looking...

    OT - need advice on handgun purchase

    The .357 is not a bad choice, but I don't know if your gf would like to shoot it much. I personally have never shot the .38 loads in one, but I have shot the .357 loads in one and they are a handfull. I like the 9mm for my plinking gun. I have a kel_tec p11 that cost about $225-250 and also a...

    Lawyers in here!

    I don't know about the rules in your area, but in my area (Oklahoma) they will defer a ticket. They will do this when you have a good driving record like what you have. They just take the fine money as "court costs" and if you don't get any more infractions in, say six months, they will drop...

    Trade for 03/04 Cobra?

    It seems to me like a bad time to get a terminator. I think when the GT500 comes out (gets to the dealers etc) , that the terminator's prices will go down. A lot of peeps bought the terminator when they were the baddest factory mustang to date, but when the GT500 hits, some of them will be...

    In need of a new flat screen for my moms new house, techies please help

    From what we were told when we got our tv, is that alot of the quality comes from the signal. And from what I've seen, that is correct. We bought a 50" HD Sony at Best Buy last year and I was kind of disapointed in the picture quality when we got it home. They have all their "high-end" tv's...

    WAY Down on Power... I Hate my Car

    If the manifold is new (and maybe if it isn't), I would check to make sure that all the air passages in it are open and not clogged with something. The upper could have some foreign object in it that won't let the engine breath. Seems like that it could be an airflow problem since it will idle...

    A good company for shipping a engine?

    R & L carriers brought my 5.0 from Michigan to Oklahoma City. I went to their terminal there to pick it up. They were pretty reasonable and very nice and professional. I never had any problems with them at all and they got it here in a pretty reasonable amount of time. Check them out in your...

    Quite Disgruntled

    Dude, that sucks! Sounds like the cop just heard someone get on it and saw you first. Go to court on that one! Since you haven't been in traffic court any time before, the judge should give you a break. I got caught doing a little "tire spinning" by a cop that was more than a block away at...

    can you daily drive a stroker?

    I would think that the driveablility of your combo would come from your choice of HCI/tune and not that it was stroked. If you stay with a mild combo/compression ratio etc it should be close to driving a mild 302, until you jump on it. Then the fun begins!! From reading in the Mustang...
