    5.0 T5

    Would a T5 tranny for a 5.0 be a practical application for a turbo 2.3L? Finding a 2.3 T5 is just about impossible for me, and I can buy a brand new 5.0 T5 from Ford Racing to go with a brand new 2.3L Turbo motor.

    Steeda Stage III Suspension Review

    I had the kit installed a few weeks back and I can say that this thing is stiff! It has Tokiko adjustable shocks which I adjusted to their softest setting. I didn't install two items in the kit that I'm procrastinating to doing later, the strut tower brace and the subframe connectors. The...

    Forgot to mention, your mass airflow sensor can cause rough idle too. You might have to replace it or you might be able to clean it if it's dirty. You can find it behind the air box. It's sqare black plastic secured with two screws. My 1991 uses philips head screws. My mom's 1995 Taurus...

    93--- Multiple Problems Please Help!

    hopes this helps I am by no means a mechanic but I'll do my best. Your transmission is like mine to the extreme. When mine is cold if I put it into gear it does it with a big clunk and a hard jerk. It shifts hard too but after it warms up it's fine. My transmission will never warm up...

    steeda stage 1,2 and 3!

    Roughly $1800, I'll be sure to post a review when I get them in. I just hope I didn't overkill for suspension mods for a 2.3L. In the meantime, I'm having problems with the 2nd coilpack, the first one died six months ago. I should have done both of them when I had a chance. Now it's stranded...

    SVO coil springs on a LX?

    I'm turning my 91 into an SVO. I need some springs and was wondering if SVO grade springs would work with an 87-93 LX. I went to rockauto.com and found that the rear springs for a 1986 SVO is the same as a 1991 2.3 LX, but the fronts are different. The reason I didn't just go to Eibach or...

    5.0 T5

    thanks The reason I was even thinking of a 5.0 T5 was that I could easily buy a new one from Ford Racing. But since they're different I'll steer away from that now. I'll have to painstakingly search for a 2.3L T5. Ugh. But now I know. It would be nice to find a SVO T5 as I'm planing to go...

    scoops

    thanks. Now I know about brakes. The vent in the wheel well I noticed is positioned right in front of the tire, in which I doubt it would blow much air on the brake.

    scoops

    I have been wondering about it for years. What's the scoop on the 94-98 scoops? Some I have seen had tiny perferated holes with a wierd vent thing inside the wheel well in front of the rear tire. Others are just a solid piece of plastic with no vent in the wheel well. Was this an effort by...

    T5 Trannies

    Is there any difference between the 5.0, SVO, and 2.3LX T5 transmissions? Can I put a T5 intended for a 5.0 car in my 2.3 car? Are SVO and LX T5's the same? Are all three the same? Sorry for the dumb question.
