If you're buying it for weight, make sure you ask before you buy it 'how much does it weigh?' I've seen a lot of 'carbon fiber' hoods that were actually cheap fiberglass with a layer of carbon cloth on top under a gel coat so it looks like carbon fiber. These things weighed a ton! Buyer...

The Steeda is a good radiator. Just like anything else, you get what you pay for. The difference in price between radiators is in the cost of the core itself, as all the other pieces, tanks, fittings, etc are pretty much fixed. ie;, a piece of aluminum to build a tank or to machine a...

NEO Synthetics makes a killer 0W-5 engine oil. They also make an 18 weight gear oil, which we supply to NASCAR teams for qualifying, and has been proven in 500 mile Indycar races and 24hr sportscar races. It has the same shear and film strength as conventional 75W-90's. I wouldn't...

Do you think you're overheating because of the gauge, or are you actually boiling over? A higher pressure cap won't make you run any cooler, it will only help to prevent boil-overs by raising the boiling point. At 15psi, the boiling point of water is 240 deg F, so I'm guessing you're not...

Silly question, but was the electric fan running after it sat for 20 minutes and was overheating? Make sure if you buy an aluminum radiator, you ask if it is 100% aluminum with no epoxy on the headers. We've seen a lot of so-called 'all aluminum' radiators with epoxy filler where the tubes...

M-7553-B302 That's the part number for the quadrant and cable for 1982-95. Not sure if it's aluminum. P/n for 1996-02 is M-7553-E302

If you have a carb engine, do you really need to do the alternator upgrade to install an electric fan? The official Fox Mustang book that Ford puts out says that 79-87 cars came with a 60 amp alternator, but if the car came standard with the rear defroster, a 70 amp alternator was...

Go to your Ford dealer first. This happened to my 96 T-bird 4.6 about 2 years ago, and they replaced it at no charge. The replacement has an aluminum casting where the water passage is.

Remember that there is a 351M as well, which is similar to a Cleveland. The easiest way to tell a 351M or 351C from 351W is that the M/C has a cast-in-block timing chest with just a flat plate for a cover, while the Windsor has a cast front cover.

You may have got the wrong water pump installed. The serpentine belt pump runs the opposite direction to a v-belt pump, although either one bolts up.

It only shows inpeller diameters and part numbers: 1979 3.00 D9ZE-8501-AC 1980-81 3.00 E0ZE-8501-BA 1982-83 3.25 E2ZE-8501-DA 1984 3.50 E4ZE-8501-AA 1985 4.40 E5ZE-8501-BA 1986-93 3.50 E6AE-8501-CA It also shows that in...

The only thing that you have to make sure of when it comes to water pumps, is that the water pump is for serpentine belt applications. If it isn't, it rotates the wrong way. According to the official Ford Mustang 5.0 reference book: "The water pump introduced in 1985 came with a larger (than...

Yeah, I saw that one at the local dealer. It is actually the complete firewall-dash bulkhead. I went there hoping to see some 'splash' panels that you could bond & rivet in, then use a minimal amount of filler to finish off the job. BTW, that is now a discontinued part, I was told.

You can't. Every Ford I've ever owned (EXCEPT my current 96 T-Bird, which I'm now JINXING by saying this!) has had to have the heater core replaced at some point. This includes Torinos, Econolines, 2 84 1/2 GT's, and a 92 Taurus!

Thanks, Dawg!

Yes it was a stock hood. No roof damage, thankfully! Yeah, one thing I want to avoid is 2 inches of filler! The recess where the hood fits above the firewall is tweaked a little, too. Smokedawg, let me know the name of your bodyman. I have a buddy who thinks he can pop it up with a...
