    86 GT front changed to a 87-up LX?

    I hope your buddy changes his mind. A four-eye will get more comments and compliments. IMO, it would be easier to sell the car and get what he really wants than to go through the trouble of converting. To do it right will not be very cost effective, as mentioned above. Semantics. Come on...

    Another 5 lug question, Rear Disc E-Brake problem,

    My Mark VII rear e-brake doesn't hold as well as I would like either, but am not having issues with my 99+ GT Twin Piston PBR new car take-offs. Every once in a while I can hear a brake making contact while I am driving. It's almost as though it doesn't release properly. I guess I need to...

    what size tires for my rims

    If they are 17x8s you can use 245/45s. I am running 99GT wheels with 245/45 tires on my lowered 85 with SN95 fronts and Mark VII rears. There is no more rubbing than I had with 10 Holes and 225/60s. Just a little bit on front of the inner fender lining.

    Oh yeah, since you've already ordered your wheels, a Turbo Coupe rear-end would be a good choice for you. They came with an 8.8" Differential, Traction-loc, 3.55 gears and disc brakes. The axles are a little longer and may cause issues with backspacing and tire fit. I am not sure.

    That is probably where I got the above link to DCControls. Yes, 95 AMP seems right to me. It's still much better than we have and much less than $200. Underdrive pulleys are a good low buck choice. Good LCA's aren't cheap, but they work. I have MegaBite Jrs and they dig hard and correct...

    20s on an 1991 lx

    Those wheels in the avatar could be the 20s he's refering to. They look aweful big. As smockdoiley said, 18s are getting too big. Seventeens are plenty for a Fox. Mustang5L5 said it all.

    Joe, I've seen some people on the boards that have used SN95 Mustang alternators from the salvage yards for around $30. I am not sure of their amperage, it may not be quite the 130amps of the 3G. You can also use the SN95 fans and I have seen people who use Mark VIII fans because of their...

    How to tell what ratio gears are?

    There is no need for a chart, just divide the number of gears on the ring gear by the number of gears on the pinion.

    25 mpg on my 5.0? wow?!?!

    That is what mine averaged with 2.73s, with a best of 28+ MPG. On a tank of gas where I probably averaged 85MPH (got a ticket for 87 outside of Shelbyville, KY) with my windows up and no need for heat or A/C.

    Does a V8 mean you have to run 93 Octane

    No, it doesn't have anything to do with number of cylinders or engine size. It has more to do with compression ratio and/or tuning/timing.

    Joe, I doubt that you will need C/C plates. Yes, the shop you have replace your shocks/struts will be able to install the springs for you. It shouldn't add much to your bill. I agree with smock 100%, you should upgrade your brakes. The stock ones are inadequate for a 5.0L Mustang. As for...

    Rearend Difference SN95/FOX

    I have read that SN95 axles are wider. According to Matt at http://www.svo73mm.cjb.net./ Check out the wheel fitment page, because the SVO/Lincoln Axles are different from the GTs. "SN95 axles (1994-1998 Mustang) are 3/4" wider per side than the stockers". I am unclear as to whether the axle...

    I didn't put c/c plates on mine until recently. I did install some energy suspension polyeurethane shock tower and swaybar bushings. I didn't need them for alignment purposes. I got them to tighten up my suspension and so I can get coil-overs in the future. My car has been dropped 2 inches...

    The Weiand Stealths are supposed to work very well and are rated from idle to 6000Rpm as opposed to the Performer302 to 5500RPM. It's been a long time since I have seen a Dyno comparison of the two. Subframe connectors along with other braces are very important too. I just put in a Pro 5.0...
