    How long have you owned your 5.0

    Since August of 2004, for me. Bought it as a high-school graduation present to myself, been through a motor and a half--this one's dying, so a 331 is in the works--and swapped the dead T5 for a TKO. Even after I swap everything into another car and make the LX look as good as it runs, my...

    Yellow vacuum line for AC?

    Thanks--I have A/C now. Even though I was a moron and pulled the dash off, then realized the canister was attached to the dash, I got it put on... still, I know for next time, at least.

    Yellow vacuum line for AC?

    OK, I've searched the forums and found where a diagram should be, but there's no diagram there... Can someone just tell me where the yellow vacuum line goes, from the AC controls to what? I have the dash pulled so getting to it isn't going to be a problem... I just need to know QUICKLY...

    Fox A/C problems--doesn't blow out of vents

    Ok, here's the problem: My AC works just fine, I can hear the motor and feel cool air eventually, but it won't blow out of the vents. It's my daily driver, a 99% stock '89 5.0 (5-sp if that's important). It has a black interior from a 90, but that shouldn't change anything around--at least I...

    What diffrence's between a 4cyl and 5.0 interior(swapping to black)?

    I just had a thought... in the '79's, wasn't the inside door handle down lower on the door? If I'm right, and I'd like to think I am, wouldn't it be feasible to do it in a '79 (or at least with '79 doors) without that problem? Honestly, if I had the cash and time, I'd try it, but I'm in...

    Roll bars in Fox hatches (Pics please)

    Thanks for the input, the lower cross-bar idea makes pretty good sense... but I don't think the SuperStreet cage HAS door bars...

    Roll bars in Fox hatches (Pics please)

    Did some thinking/searching, and came up with another idea... it's on the Schroth website, so I know it's been done before. My thought was this: I'd like to use the Kenny Brown SuperStreet cage, since it has no cross-bar, and mount the Schroth AutoControl harnesses (street-legal 3-point) in...

    Roll bars in Fox hatches (Pics please)

    OK, to toss out my idea, I was thinking about mounting the harness points on the two lower seat belt mounts, where the latch and lower half of the belt anchor to the car, and mount the main point to the vertical area under the back seat. EDIT--to clarify, I don't mean under the cushion of the...

    Roll bars in Fox hatches (Pics please)

    Hey y'all... I'm going to be adding a rather extensive list of mods this summer, and wanted to get it all planned out--suspension, motor, brakes, etc--so I wouldn't be wasting any money. First and foremost, my car is going to be a daily driver, and I'll be carrying 3 passengers a lot of the...

    Short throw shifter, What do you guys have?

    UPR base, swapped over to a Tri-Ax handle... every 'Stang I've driven, other than mine, has had a Tri-Ax or a Pro5.0, and while I can't say either is "better," I didn't have any problems with either brand. Whenever I get a new transmission, one of those two will go in too.

    The younger generation has no clue about cars.......

    Seems like a lot of the "younger guys" are flipping out... I'm probably the one of the youngest guys posting in this threat, at 19, but I've already built one complete car--went from an 86 rolling chassis to a running, driving, fully-optioned 87-93 LX street car--and many, MANY motors... Now...

    The Official Fox Body Production Number Thread

    Originally one of 1799 Bright Regatta Blue 5.0 LX hatchbacks, but now an even-more-rare 1 of (I dunno, but less than 1300 over 2 years) in Deep Emerald Jewel Green. It's the only '89 I know of that's painted that color, at least.

    Sign from God?

    You're a smarter man than I am... I was towing an 86 LX hatch's bare shell to a parts yard, on a friend's trailer. He had tied it down, not very well, and I tried to say something. He said "Don't worry about it," and I figured, OK, his insurance, not my problem. Not two blocks from my...
