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.

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...

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...

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...

Here's a reply e-mail I got from Kenny Brown when I inquired about their AGS System 3: "Chris, Thank you for your well wishes and your loyalty to Kenny Brown . We are currently starting to produce some products starting with the 94+ Mustang. Keep in touch. Hopefully by the time you return...

Hi. I normaly post in the 2.3 section but I thought I'd pass on some info to my fellow Foxers. Here's a reply e-mail I got from Kenny Brown when I inquired about their AGS System 3: "Chris, Thank you for your well wishes and your loyalty to Kenny Brown . We are currently starting to...

If I get this... 2.3 to SBF Bellhousing Adapter Plate This billet aluminum plate converts any Ford 2.3L OHC engine to the small-block Ford bellhousing bolt pattern. This allows 2.3 owners to run the larger 5.0 Mustang clutch components, T-45, T-56, and other manual transmissions, as well as...

I've e-mailed Kenny Brown but I got no reply.:shrug: I am wanting to get their Advanced Geometry Suspension system (AGS) 3. But apparently there is an issue with counterfitters, no authorized sales and Kenny Brown being sick. Things seem to be a big mess over there. The Kenny Brown site...

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...

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.

I'm on a quest to copy the mechanical aspects of the SVO with my 91 hatch. Right now, I'm concentrating on the legs of the hores. So far, I have put in a 5 lug conversion kit. It still uses rear drums however. I put on 17X8 Edelbrock 454 wheels but the tires rub with passengers and on bumps...

My motor sputters eraticly and the tachometer jumps everywhere more than the engine does. It sputters and dies, but always starts up again. But the symptoms imediatly return. I am stumped. Stumped like a douglas fir in a logger's jambori.:shrug: Electric, fuel pump, I don't know. Help?

How was the SVO's exhaust set up? Was it a true dule exhaust that split after the cats then went into two mufflers? Or did it split after a single muffler?

A few months back I finally got my car here on base from out of state. I had a Steeda 5-lug conversion kit put in and I swaped out to 17X8 Eddelbrock 454 wheels. The set up looks great but now my tires rub the fenders when I go over big bumps. I relized that I need a new suspension set-up...

Does anybody know where I can find some motorized bullet mirrors? I've seen a few but they were either for camaros or not motorized.

Are there any electric bullet mirrors out there?

I had the kit from 5.0 resto returned. My dad says the box was a mess, with open parts that seemed to have been just thrown into the box with gear oil bottles broken open. He says it looks like its traveled around a lot so maybe I'm not the first to return this kit. After this expierience, I...

Hi. I recently got my hands on a set of the reproduction Edelbrock 454 wheels which are five lug. I tried to convert to five lug using the 5-lug conversion kit sold by 5.0 Resto. I found out that the rear axle in the kit will only work with a 5.0 rear as 5.0 Resto told me through their tech...

I talked about this before I know, but I am really eying this engine. Ford Racing offers a 2003 Ranger 2.3L Duratec crate engine assembly. It's still 140 cu. in but with a DOHC. 135 HP 5050 RPM and 153 ft./lbs of torque @3750 RPM. It has 9.7:1 compression ratio, and the calibration code is...

This has probably been covered before, but I was advised by some 5.0 guys at the latest mustang event I went to put in some billet aluminum pullies(sp) in my 2.3. I saw some underdrive(?) pullies for the 5.0 that claimed 8-10 HP gain. I would doubt we would see power gains like that but does...
