    Engine 96-04 still a good platform?

    This is my first post in about 15+ years! HAHA! I used to have a 96 GT, 5 spd with the following mods (if I can still remember them!).... 3.55, s/f connectors, lowering springs, underdrive pulleys, steeda short throw shifter, WMS CAI and bigger MAF, MAC catted H-pipe and a MAC catback. I...

    ported e7's + e-cam + TFS street heat = cheap street oriented top end?

    Can you put e7's on an 86? I thought because the 86 had flat top pistons that it wouldn't work?

    Swapping in a newer 5.0 EFI

    Yeah I'd be wanting to switch it to MAF as well, not to keep it as SD. I would want to eventually add heads/intake/cam, etc...

    Swapping in a newer 5.0 EFI

    What is involved in switching from a SD 5.0 EFI to a newer MAF 5.0? What parts would be needed? I'm not talking about just switching it to MAF but removing the entire engine. It's an 86 GT with flat top pistons and not many head options, and I'd be interested in swapping in a newer one, with...

    A/c delete that bolts in place of stock compressor

    For me the A/C no longer has any coolant in it and the A/C pump makes noise so we were going to remove it and go with the Ford Racing kit. My understanding is that it moves the PS pump up to the A/C spot but I would need a different belt size. For simplicity sake it would probably be easier to...

    A/c delete that bolts in place of stock compressor

    The only one I can find on the Summit site also includes a belt and other pulleys. Summit Racing 08-0011 - Summit Racing® A/C Eliminator and Pulley Kit Pro Packs - Overview - SummitRacing.com Can you post a link to just the bracket w/ dummy pulley?

    E6 heads

    Thanks for the reply. Something I may consider some year.

    E6 heads

    Yes I know the heads on 86 GT's suck and that the only aftermarket option is the Trickflow heads. Since they're pretty expensive though is there anything to be had by porting or gasket matching the stock E6 heads? 5hp? 10hp? Do you think the car would need to be switched to MAF for this? It...

    Where to buy convertible parts

    Where can I get the piece of molding that goes along the outside, top section of the windshield on an 86 GT Conv? I believe it's 2 pieces. We checked the dealer about 2 years ago and they wanted some insane price.

    What size fuel pump?

    Since the car is currently speed density would a larger fuel pump hurt the idle? Are there any disadvantages to running a 155lph pump with my current mods, until such a time comes that an intake and heads enter the picture?

    No, it was a nickname

    What size fuel pump?

    The fuel pump on the 86 GT has gone bad. The car is currently at my fathers place and he'll be changing the pump in the spring. What size pump should we go with? The limited mods it has are listed below...

    86 GT Convertible

    Okay thanks! So what about the Cobra intake (upper/lower) with those heads?

    86 GT Convertible

    Currently the car has Dynomax ¾ length headers, off-road H-pipe, custom dynomax super turbo catback, and 3.55’s. I read on here that the Trickflow heads will work with the 86 flat top pistons with no modifications. So what sort of gains would be seen with an 87+ intake, tb and...

    86 GT Convertible

    Thanks for the replies. So a stock 87 upper intake would bolt onto the 86GT lower and give a few more hp? If I end up getting the car I'll have a few more questions.

    86 GT Convertible

    It was working fine when it was last out a few years ago. I shouldn't say it hasn't been driven in years. It has seen very minimal mileage. Maybe a handful of short drives in the summer. The top is also fairly new and has seen minimal sun and rain since it's mostly be in the garage. I just...

    86 GT Convertible

    It's not for the car. :D I am wanting to have a garage for my woodworking and storing things in that are currently in the basement. My parents just told me that if I ever got a garage they would send it up to me since it would need to be stored somewhere during the winter and couldn't be left...

    86 GT Convertible

    86 GT Convertible (intake and heads Q's) I owned this car about 10 years ago and my father bought it off me when I got my 96 GT. If I’m able to get a garage built at my house then I was told I could have it back since it has basically just sat for the last several years in his garage and...

    4.6 reliability and peformance over the years

    I really liked that raw feeling of my 96GT. I'm not terribly fond of the look of the 05+ but it grows on me everytime I see one. As for the interior. I don't like the look of the new interior and gauges but 40 more hp could make me overlook that.
