Hey all, long time no see. The pony is still running, but needs your help: I did a search, that was inconclusive, so does anyone know the thread size for the '93 N/A car's oil pan? This is the aluminum pan. The bolt head on mine is messed up, I have been using a drill pump for oil changes, but I...

Hey all! As some of you may remember I began collecting parts for a turbo mill, but it seems that in these parts, they are hard to come by... So I have this nice oval port turbo head sitting in my garage. My question is this: If I were to port/polish this head, 3 angle valve job with some...

Well as y'all know I have begun amassing parts for a turbo mill. So far I have a nice bare oval port head and a new distributor. A block I had been watching on eBay is back on due to a non-paying bidder who outbid me a month or so ago. The seller said he would relist this month. It is back on...

Hey all! My pony is acting up! She was trying to stall out(but has not actually stalled out)when I first cranked her up in the morning(she does ok for the rest of the day). One particular morning I started her up then proceeded to drop the conv. top and the engine shuddered violently. Also at...

? (I did a search and read several threads but to no avail; I do remember it being mentioned on here before(small/large journal) though(?)) Also, while we're here: What are, if any, the difference between the connecting rods on both motors(were the turbo cars the only ones equipped with the...

bing...ahh, you get the idea! The door alarm has begun to stick on my passenger side door, it caused my rear view mirror lights to stay on(verts have no dome light, thusly lights in the mirror),I diconnected the wiring harness to the mirror. Now, as of driving home from work tonight "bing"! It...

I understand from reading threads that the dual plug blocks have a plug in the distributor hole, but is distributor installation simply a matter of pulling this plug? Is it like a freeze plug? Would machining need to be done to install the distributor(is it unfinished, as cast in there?)? There...

Which is better? I see the majority of y'all are using D port heads, however (if I read it correctly)woodster is using an oval port. This may be due to availability, but Ford changed to the D port from the oval...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=7979750588&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT I see this is a carbeureted head from the 79-80 turbo cars. Would this head work on a fuel injected engine? I am not having a great deal of success finding turbo motors in this area...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7980866825&category=33596 You guys tell me if this is a good ECU at a good price. I know from reading posts that in order to start a turbo project at all I have to get a turbo car ECU. Please pay special attention to the...

I have it bad, which is why I'm on so late, I can't sleep and am wide awake! I have to be to work at 7 AM Eastern! AAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHH!

...for head porting with an air grinder? I don't want to buy overkill, but don't want something inadequate either.

Well warm weather has finally arrived in Va Beach, we had a cold spell for a couple of weeks(high 50s in June!?), so I am warming up and getting restless to work on the 'stang. I washed and waxed her to get the winter grime off and detailed my interior. But what I want to know is this: Can I...

I'm looking for a project car, so I see in the paper for a couple of weeks now a '79 Mustang Cobra turbo. I found a pic on yahoo, so I know it is a fox car(not to bad looking either), not the Mustang II. I also know that it is carbed. The thing is for sale at 1400 OBO. Is it worth looking into...

Hello all, freakintiger here! Finally got the internet connection runnin' at the new home. I'm working two jobs now(I am working at Wallyworld or WalMart in the electronics section in the evenings), saving for a project car, looking at a few hardtop foxes in the paper(however a '71 Chevelle is...

Here it is! I hate snow...and imagine just a few days ago I was outside at night tuning up the car and it wasn't really cold out! Weird weather!

I installed my MSD wires and a set of BOSCH platinums(single electrode) Wednesday night. The temperature was unseasonably warm here yesterday, with rain expected today. So I had to get 'em done yesterday, and I was out well after dark. Thank God the temp did'nt begin to drop until I was just...

...Well, I've gotten to the point where I need a CAI of some type on the 'stang. I've decided to build a true "ram-air" setup, I had one on my 'Vic, and it really worked well. I looked at March's Mustang ram air setup, really expensive, even on eBay they're expensive. So I'm trying to think of...

...tell me: If I have a breather cap on my engine, would it hurt to undo the line that connects the valve cover to the throttle body. I am assuming that since the car did'nt come with a breather(just an oil cap)this line acts to ventilate the crankcase. So can I just delete it since I have the...

...well, on the way home from Super K, I was run up on by an Audi TT. I did'nt know what it was at first; I just heard "grrr-pssssh, grrr-pssssh, grrr-psssssh". Then I looked to my right and saw a red TT 'vert with a black top lunging forward, trying to cut me off. This guy was just lashing the...
