No, I'm not the best driver. No, I'm not the fastest by any stretch of the imagination. I just want to make some passes & I'm months away until the track finally re-opens up here.... :( View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gr4Lmk-Zesg View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1pOClqQKzs...

The catch to this is that as of 2010; California requires the part itself to have the carb number information cast or stamped into the part(s) itself. Technically, stickers and or paperwork documentation that was perfectly fine\legal before 2010 is now no longer good enough... It's really going...

It used to be you could buy an FRPP 351 lower intake (from the Lightning) & bolt on a GT40, Cobra, Or Explorer upper intake onto. Here is a current Ebay link to one being for sale: http://www.ebay.com/itm/351w-Gt40-Lower-Intake-5-8-Mustang-Gt-Lx-Svo-Cobra-Windsor-Sbf-/111595910599 From what I...

Nice day & just decided to take some pictures before the snow hit....

Nice day & just decided to take some pictures before the snow hit....

Bwahahahahaahaaaaa..... That was a good one A5LiterMan! "Cause you just know MFE is all about drag racing & stuff..... ;) MFE is right; the IRS stuff is getting harder to come by nowadays.... Way back when, you could get a complete IRS setup from an '03-'04 Cobra guy going drag racing &...

Worst case; remove the rail & drill out the bracket hole opening to the side you need the additional clearance.....

If i were in this predicament; I'd ask how much of a raise in height it really is & if it'll require a different exhaust flange bolt pattern header design. If they utilize a stock flange bolt pattern with a 1\2" higher port location; then I'd look at your current exhaust, visualize lifting it...

A5literman is right; full length subs are a must & you'll notice the difference immediately. On the same note; a strut tower brace is a must on a 'vert. Again, it's night & day difference you'll notice immediately. Those have been the 1st two mod's on all three of my my current\former fox...

Most aftermarket axles come with a custom "cap" stating whom the manufacturer is. This is mainly due to people like myself whom often drag race & the tech needs to know if you have aftermarket axles or not. I can tell you that the axles are not made by any aftermarket manufacturer like Moser...

1st off & in my experience; every 5.0 with aftermarket valve train & roller rockers will have a "sewing machine" ticking sound. Even my stroker motors have the "noise". I believe this has to do with the faster ramp rates of the cams we buy more than anything else. Solid fulcrum stock rockers...

Wow..... You are one lucky man there! Good buy.... Wow..... And to think I found a ragged out 70K miles 5.0 LX 5-speed & thought i did good way back in '07.... ;) I have to agree with MikeStangs comments; enjoy it any way you like it to be. Don't fall into the "it's low miles, it needs to be...

It also depends on where you live in California & whom tests the car. Last time I smogged in SoCal(San Bernardino); the shop I went to failed any aftermarket cold air intake setup since none have a CARB number on them. Surprisingly though, he didn't mind that I only had 2 cat's instead of the...

I have a similar 331 combo & it makes a solid 350rwhp\355rwtq N\A on a DynoJet. Of course i have a bigger RPMII intake, 75mm Accufab T.B., 75mm Pro M meter, custom cam, 1&3\4" BBK long tubes, 2-cat BBK H-pipe, 2.5" cat-back, TKO600 trans, 4.10 gear, etc. Makes my 3,600lbs 'vert (w\me in it) fun...

Just confirming that the steel billet FRPP balancers do indeed require an aluminum spacer.

Oh boy, here we go.... Smog checks in California are strict; every part you install must have a California Air Resource Board (CARB) approval. The approved parts for an 84 5.0 GT are practically none. You can "upgrade" to a later year fuel injection & EEC setup; but you will technically be held...

Nice project! Doesn't look all that bad too me....

If your running the stock 60-78amp alternator; you will have dimming lights at idle & lower voltage readings. If your running under-drive pulleys with the facxtory alternator; it only makes the situation worse. That's why many such as I have converted over to the 3G 130 amp alternators.... The...

Playing around with the look of the car.....

I spent over 13 years commuting in a fox convertible; 75 miles round trip daily in Southern California. I moved to SLC, Utah last year & still drive it daily. Only difference; I now have a spare set of phone dials with all season radials that I swap on in the winter. My 2 cents: as long as you...
