Hey guys I'm stationed overseas in Germany.(so it's hard to get blocks over here) I have the opportunity to get a Teksid short block out of a 99 cobra. Internals are stock. From what I've heard, the block itself is strong. My question..can the rods/crank handle more than than the ones...

Hey guys I'm attending college in Stuttgart,Germany. My 01 GT is registered with the US Army Europe system. (I work on base) Just a couple days ago I was due for inspection so I went in there and I failed because of my exhaust being too loud. (off-road bassani x-pipe with flows) He got...

Hey guys I just got my oil filter sandwich adapter which has extra ports for oil feeds etc. It says that the ports are 1/8 NPT. There are plugs that go into the ports in case you don't need all the ports and I measure the plug and there's no way it's 1/8". I'm guessing the 1/8" is the...

My rack and pinion is shot....power steering fluid shoots out everywhere. What's the best place (not too expensive) for a new (or reman) rack and pinion for a 99-04? It doesn't matter if it's manual or power-assisted. Thanks guys Patrick

Hey guys My 01 is supercharged via Vortech SQ. Last week I noticed that the t-fitting that comes from the oil filter and connects to the oil line for the SC was really loose. Soon enough it just fell off. I tried screwing it back in when I noticed that over half of the threaded bolt broke...

Hey guys I took off my oil pan to check rod bearings and I disconnected a sensor right under the oil filter.(connected to a pipe that's also connected to the oil filter) Is that oil pressor/temperature sensor? How is it hooked back on? Somehow it got knocked off when we were unbolting the...

Hi guys I recently ordered a set of rod bearings for my 01 GT. I received the bearings a couple of days ago and the package says Ford 4.6l V8 SOHC 1991-98 I know the Romeo 4.6l was introduced in 91. Did the bearings change at all or are they all the same for 4.6l? I did a search on...

While I was dropping my kmember I noticed my tie rods are in pretty bad shape. I knew I was losing steering fluid somewhere.I kept having to fill it up. I'm not sure what it was, but either grease or steering fluid was gushing out of the inner tie rod boots all over the floor! I've never...

Hey guys, I've been hearing a ticking/knocking sound coming from the bottom end of my engine. Just today I finished removing the kmember and oil pan to check the carnage. I suspected a spun rod bearing. I removed 3 rod caps. The rod bearing on the first rod cap I removed came out...

Hey guys I have an 01 GT. I know that Ford put the T3650 sometime during the 2001 instead of the T45. I had the transmission out and was looking for something on the tranny housing but couldn't find anything except for "Tremec". I pulled the little metal tab that's bolted to the house...

Hey guys, I'm stationed overseas in Germany and now have a spun bearing in my 01 gt. Getting an engine over here is hard. But now I found a 4.6l out of a 92-93ish (sometime in that range) out of a Thunderbird. Would it be a good idea to swap it over to my supercharged 01? I would swap...

Hey guys My engine most likely has a spun bearing so I will have to replace it or get a new engine. I've only torn apart a Chevy 350...never done internal work. Would you advise me to tackle it myself or just get a new engine? How hard is it? Time-consuming? I'm really at a...

Hey guys My engine's f'd up...probably a spun bearing. Which companies offer shortblocks with the best prices? I'm not looking to get anything overbuilt with forged everything. I'm stationed overseas in Germany so I can't find any at a junkyard etc. Which companies do you guys...

Hey guys, Turns out either my rod or crank bearings could be toast. I get this very loud ticking sound coming from my block/tranny. At first I thought it was the tranny for sure. Well after I swapped the tranny today and made sure the exhaust was tight I still get the noise. Tomorrow...

Hey guys Quick question: I'm currently stationed in Germany with the military. I'll be visiting my sister in Louisiana this summer and I would like to get my motorcycle license. Problem is my state of residency is Florida. Can I do my motorcycle license in a state that is not my...

Hey guys, A couple months ago I had this nice write-up. A step by step how-to remove and install a tranny. My 3650 is most likely shot and I have a new tranny that I would like to install. I've never messed with any tranny work so I'm kind of in the blue. Does anybody still have that...

Hey guys Recently the check engine light came on and I checked the codes. It gave me a P0460 and P0351 error code. I've read that P0460 has something to do with the fuel level sensor. I remember when I bought the car, the guy said when he installed the fuel pump he didn't "bend" the...

Hey guys I've been posting a lot lately about this weird rattling or ticking sound that my 01 gt is making. It sounds like it's coming directly from the tranny but I just took it for another ride. Very weird!! It sounds like it is hinges on rpm and how much gas I give it(throttle)...

Hey guys! I finally figured out the ticking my car is making is clearly coming from the tranny. The throwout bearing was really worn. I thought that would be it...but with the new bearing it's still making the ticking noise. It's probably coming from inside the tranny...possibly a...

Hey guys The ticking sound I thought was coming from the lifters is definitely louder under the car. It sounds like it's coming from directly inside the tranny. What could it be? The ticking sound goes away at wot.....but down low it's pretty loud. At idle it used to make a ticking...
