    Which intake modsare best for 5.0s?

    My 91 GT has an offroad pipe, dumped Flowmasters, underdrive pulleys, Alum Driveshaft, 3.73s, 160,000 miles, T-5 and runs decently. I was reading about upgrading the cold air intake (which is stock save for a K&N) and am wondering about bigger MAF and injectors. Is this mod worth the money on...

    Cobra R's and a five lug conversion...

    Cobra R's and a five lug conversion won't fit????? I want to put Cobra R's on my 91 GT but my friend (whom I got the car from) says that I can't use the center caps because he did the 5 lug swap using Mark VII rotors and ranger axles. Anyone have any ideas what this is about? Thanks. :shrug:

    had it with this POS

    I am a crappy manual trans driver, and when I get lazy on the clutch pedal I have the same problem. I'd agree with these other guys that say replace the cable/quadrant. Good luck.

    Springs and 17" wheels

    I havea 91GT with 95 GT tri-bar wheels. I think they're 17x8's. This weekend I am upgrading the rear control arms and was wondering what everyone thought about a spring swap at the same time. I am running the springs that came with the car and at a level stance there is about 1-2 inches...

    a/c retro fit r134a kits do they work?

    I looked into this awhile back and the answer is sometimes. What you need to do is to depressurize the system, disassemble and flush the stuff out, and then reassemble, evacuate and repressurize. Then, it may work, depending on how much of the old lubricant you got out and even then as someone...

    Torque Boxes Broken?

    Update After all that, it ends up being the left upper control arm bushing, all squished out the side. Oh well, now I have an excuse to order performance control arms!!!

    fors are gay

    Hey guys, quit picking on the poor white trash. Obviously he can't afford anything better than a Dodge, so he has to come here and talk ***** to the more fortunate folks. Losers are people too, even when they have diarrhea of the mouth. Speaking of that, get of 602, you're stinking up the...

    Power locks DOA

    When I bought my 91 GT, the previous owner had removed a hokey alarm that went bad. It was one that wired into the doorlocks. He said he didn't know where to rehook them up. Anyone know where this thing might have been before i tear the car apart looking for it? Are these typically under...

    T5 experts!! tail bushing question

    I just rebuilt mine and did the exact opposite, took out a small one and put a new longer one in. Not sure if it makes a difference at all, just make sure it's in straight and squarely. I used a seal driver from the local auto parts store and it went right in. I don't think that it really...

    2nd Gear Grinding

    Mine did that too, but going into third. Get the rebuld kit and a video and do it yourself. It's easy. You take out the main output shaft, clamp it in a vise, take everyting off 1 by 1, replace the bad parts, and put 'er back together. Much easier than an automatic and no real special tools...

    T-5 install Question

    Last weekend I rebuilt my T-5 and am about to install it. Should I wait to install it to fill it with the fluid? Once it's in the car, where is the best place to add the fluid? It would seem that the easiest place to put it would be into the shifter area (before I install the shifter,) but I...

    Started my 347 up but major problem!

    Don't know much about the starter stuff, but as for the thermostat: get some Indian Head Gasket Shellac and paint both sides of the gasket AND the manifold AND the housing. Bolt it up and wait an hour. My old man was a sealing systems engineer and he tells me to use this crap all the time...

    Torque Boxes Broken?

    I'll try those mounts first, and I have done those control arm bolts enough times to know that you're just trying to make me feel better. I usually grind off the heads and bash them through, then replace with hardened replacements. Never got one out that was usable. Anyways, I'll update when...

    Torque Boxes Broken?

    No, its a hatchback. I got under there and tried to jiggle stuff around, although nothing really happened. I could not see any damage to the boxes but from what you guys say i'll be there is. I'm gonna try the engine mount first, which I know is bad, then if that doesn't do it I'll rip into...

    Torque Boxes Broken?

    Hi all. I just got a 91 Stang and noticed that as i am driving if I thump the throttle the car seems 'squirrelly,' like its trying to dog-track momentarily. I had this same problem with a Chevelle, and after spending $1000 on new rear end suspension compnents, it was a $9 motor mount. Before...

    Rear end out of whack

    I have a 91 GT with 95 Tri-Bar 17's all the way around. When I hit a bump, the left rear wheel rubs on the inboard portion of the body. When looking from the back of the car, the right rear wheel sticks out about 1-2 inches, but the left is almost flush. What is wrong? :shrug:
