    Holy rear gear batman!!!

    I crawled under the good ol' Capri the other day to find out that the 255 powered Capri is rolling on a 2.26 rear gear! I thought the '83 was bad with the 2.73, but 2.26?!?!? I'm not sure if I'll ever drive on that rear, but it should turn that 4-banger trans into a 200mph flying machine if I...

    Intake Adapter Kit

    Anybody ever buy/use the intake adapter kits that are available? Basically a bolt on spacer to couple a different intake (say 302) to a different motor (say 351). My reason for asking is that I've got GT-40 and performer RPM efi intakes and various carb intakes for the 302, but I'm going...

    Some A-hole hit me last night...

    So I'm on my way home last night and some a-hole has a chip on his shoulder...Here's the order of events... I'm in the middle lane, he's in the right lane. He decides he wants over, so he comes over with less than a car between us. Fine, whatever, I hit the right lane and keep scooting. He...

    Torn doors???

    Torn doors??? (T-top & vert owners) The Capri (t-top) I'm picking up has tears at the top of the doors on both sides. It's on the inner sheet metal and it almost seems like the glass pushing on the outer shell has torn the metal. Is this common? It shouldn't be a hard fix, but it bothered my...

    To buy or not to buy...Performer RPM

    There's one for sale locally, and I have no idea if he's asking a good price or not. I can get it for $300 out the door. The guy ported the lower some and gasket matched to a Felpro 1262. The only problem is that theres a small crack on the upper manifold rear mounting hole. I would imagine...

    Used price for a TFS Street heat

    Can somebody give me a heads up on the going rate for a good used TFS street heat intake? It's the upper and lower both. A guy has one for sale locally. I usually see what they go for on the bay, but I didn't have any luck looking on there.

    Late model dizzy 5.0 = 5.8

    So I just compared my cam position sensor from my Explorer motor to my 5.0 dizzy and my 351W dizzy. The CPS matches the 351W. That's good new to me since I want to run EDIS on both my 351W and my 5.0L. Just thought I would share that...

    Whole motor - Explorer swap

    Has anybody swapped an entire Explorer motor into their car? Here's my problem. I'm swapping into an '85 4-banger and don't have any front accessories for the 5.0. I do however have all the brackets that are bolted to the Explorer motor. I was thinking that I could just pick up a new...

    Valve covers for Explorer intake...

    I recall reading somewhere that there are valve cover clearance issues with the Explorer intake, which from looking at the motor last night I can see why. What's everybody with Exp. intakes running for VC's? I've got stock ones from '83 + '86 and also some Weiand finned ones (like the FMS ones).

    351W Piston selection...help?

    Just picked up my 351W, that has the D0OE-C heads on it. It's a .040 over block. I want to bump compression up to about 10-10.5:1. I'm having one hell of a time figuring out the ± cc on pistons and don't want to order the wrong ones. Here's what I'm planning on running... Fresh .040 over...

    What components have you put in your T-5's during rebuild? I saw this : Counter Gear Stabilizer . I can't say I've heard anything about that before, but maybe it's a good idea. I plan on getting a full kit from Hanlon and have a steel front bearing retainer already. I plan on...

    Anybody use Summit or Force mufflers?

    I've searched all over for muff. info. - Flows, bullets, Spintech, etc. Maybe I'm cheap, or maybe I'm curious...Anybody ever use either of them? I'm totally undecided on mufflers. I like the sort of hollow pingy sound that chambered mufflers have, and I also like a deep idle. I hate the...
