    Gt Cat Back On A V6

    Pacesetter makes an H-pipe that will mate with the GT dual cat back exhaust and then you cut and weld the y pipe so you get true dual exhaust. American Muscle has it for $145. If you want an x-pipe you can get one for a v8 without cats from Pypes for $195 but then you'll need to take it to a...

    '01 Install Into A '94

    I swapped the baffle from the broken VC into the original. The difference was only very slight. The old one had a small hole near the outside edge roughly centered between the mounting screws. The new one has a narrow slot right on the edge so it is less prone to allowing oil to get sucked...

    '01 Install Into A '94

    The new engine harness arrived yesterday. I tried plugging in the various sensors and found that the connector that should mate with what appears to be a temp switch that screws into the aft end of the the DS head is way on the other side of the engine. Maybe I routed the harness wrong...

    '01 Install Into A '94

    Update: I found out that the breather hose on the passenger side valve cover goes to the intake tract between the MAF sensor and the throttle body, so strike question 1. Also, the 2001 driver side valve cover has an improved oil baffle for the PCV valve. There was a service bulletin issued...

    '01 Install Into A '94

    This is a father/son project to get him in his first set of wheels. I have an abandoned '94 V6 mustang with a blown engine on my property and we're installing an '01 3.8 Mustang engine to get it back on the road. Here are some of the things we've found so far regarding this swap: 1. The...

    Engine '94 To '01 Swap

    I'm going to start a new thread in the V6 section as I think that is a more appropriate place for this discussion.

    Engine '94 To '01 Swap

    I had a really hard time finding this post again! Maybe we put it in the wrong forum? Perhaps it should have been in the V6 forum instead of the 94-95 forum? Can a moderator move this thread? Ayway, we're swapping a newer 2001 3.8 V6 not a 4.6 V8. No need to change K-member. I'm not sure...

    Engine '94 To '01 Swap

    Hello, I'm Justin's dad. No, we're making a list of things to pick up from a wrecking yard. We know we need a computer and '01 engine harness. The engine harness is on it's way. The idle air control valve (or at least thik that's what it's called) is missing from the new engine and the...

    V8 Conversion

    OK, thanks for the info!

    V8 Conversion

    I guess I need to clarify. I meant transmission cross member, not the K member that holds the front suspension and engine. I would replace that with a light weight aftermarket one anyway.

    1970 351w Four Bolt Pulley's

    Have you tried searching ebay? Would you consider changing out the front dress to serpentine? Just some thoughts. Also, you should check out the 69stang forums. Lots of posts specific to the 69s and 70s.

    V8 Conversion

    I have a 94 3.8 V6 w/auto that my son abandoned on my property. The engine doesn't run. I was thinking about converting it to a V8. Some questions: Is the manul trans xmember different than the automatic? Do I need one from a V8 car or will any manual trans xmember work? I have tons of...

    improving 67 steering geometry

    The illustration is excellent in describing the relationships concisely for an SLA suspension. Now, in the real world it's not necessary to have absolutely zero bump steer or true (100%) ackerman. For bump steer all you need is a close enough approximation of the LCA arc in the normal range...

    improving 67 steering geometry

    Yes, a custom centerlink will make a HUGE improvement. The pivot point for the inner tie rod should ideally be placed at the same height and spacing as the pivot point for the LCA (when wheels are straight ahead). The problem with this placement is that the travel of the steering box is so great...

    70' 351C Starts But Will Not Stay Running?

    You need to get a voltmeter to figure out where you're not getting power. If you take a reading at the coil while the key is ON but not START, you will find you have no power, so you need to work backwards to find out where it got lost. Something is disconnected in the ignition circuit ahead...

    70' 351C Starts But Will Not Stay Running?

    Does it run only while the key is in the START position and then die when it is returned to the ON (RUN) position? If yes, then you are only getting 12 volts to the coil from the starter solenoid and not from the ignition switch.

    Been a long time - Stock 351W question

    The stock cam is much more limiting than the stock heads. If he's short on money, the biggest improvement in feel will be gears. Go with 3:50s for a nice all around gear. The cam, intake, carb and headers need to change together. The Performer is too mild, as someone suggested go with the...

    331 1969 Stroker!

    I think 210s would be too far in the other extreme. With fairly low compression and a smallish intake, those heads are too big for the combinatin to work well anywhere. Something in the range of AFR 185s or TW190s would be a huge improvement over stock and work well in a normal RPM range. I...

    Dumber than my engine block???

    302 and 351W cams are interchangeable, so you can't go by the firing order. It could have been swapped out at any time in the past. The Windsor is not only taller and wider, it has much larger main journals, 1/2 inch head bolts instead of 7/16ths and there is a rib beside the distributor hole...
