    Ford Motorsport Box Under Seat

    I was looking around my 94 Cobra and found a black box under the passenger seat. the only thing written on it is Ford Motorsports. It has adjustment dials for A/F ratio and the rev limiter. Are these still made? Ive never seen one of these before.

    ID That Whine

    I have a whine in my drivetrain. I thought it was the T5, so I swapped in another T5 (have no history on it). I still hear the whine. Sound increases when on the gas and when completely off the gas in the upper RPMs. Happens in all gears. Still whines when clutch is out and in neutral. TOB...

    Fox T5 swap

    So im in the middle of doing a fox T5 swap into my 94 Cobra. I have hit a major issue. I'm trying to bolt up the cross member, but when I lift the tranny enough to line the bolts up, the shifter hits the floorpan! Has anyone here ACTUALLY done this swap? Is there a way to fill the trans...

    Proper Pilot Bearing for 2.3 T5 to 5.0 engine

    I've done this before and IIRC I used a pilot bearing for a 83' Ranger 2wd with a 2.2L diesel engine. Well I ordered that pilot bearing, and took my 5.0 bearing out of the crank. Wouldn't you know, the swap bearing has the correct I.D. for the 2.3 t5, but the O.D. is to small for my crank (my...

    Cobra to GT/LX Front Bumper Cover

    I'm looking at buying a 94 cobra that needs a driver side fender, headlight, and bumper cover. I've found all these parts, but they are for GT/LX cars. What else is needed to swap the headlights and bumper cover? I've read they are GT/LX and Cobra specific.

    How To Change Rear Brakes? 99-04

    I'm go'in to a ladies house to change the brakes on her 2000 Stang. I need to know exactly what tools to take with me, as I have only messed with 79-95 cars before. I read during a search that I will need a 15MM and 12MM socket, as well as the tool to retract the piston. Is that all that is...

    No power, hesitates, wont rev

    I just bought another Mustang with 1k miles on a rebuild. The car has NO power at all! Will barely spin the tires. If you get on it, it wont rev, and sorta hesitates/misses. If you rev it in neutral, it wont go above 3 or 4k RPM, like it has a rev limiter. I've checked the TPS, key on...

    Crank No Start

    I've got a stock engine that after running it hard for about an hour just cut out on me going down the road. There is no spark at all coming from the coil. What could cause this?

    2g Alt Wiring ?'s

    I just hooked a 2g alt up in a carb'd car. The alt isn't charging. Am I supposed to put a switched 12v to the lt grn/red wire that originally ran to the cluster lamp? Seems I remember reading that the alt wouldn't charge without a 12v signal coming in on that wire.

    Performer Intake + Aftermarket Fuel Rails = ?

    Just wondering of anyone out there has used this intake with new fuel rails? I have UPR rails. They won't work with a stock 5.0 intake (just found out the hard way!). I want to get rid of the stock fuel tank ASAP so I can cut out the floor in the trunk, and mount the fuel cell, as well...

    4cyl conversion tranny questions

    I have the 4 banger tranny, and a V8 bellhousing. Can I swap the clutch fork and everything in/on the bellhousing from the 4cyl to the V8 bellhousing? I already have a V8 clutch set, flywheel, TOB, and conversion pilot bearing. I wouldn't be asking, but I don't have the 4 cyl bell...

    Decals on Windows?

    I have never considered "trashing" my car up with the decals I get when I purcahse parts, but I have been thinking about adding "Built, Not Bought" to the rear glass on my coupe. I've had my car striped down to the bare chassis multiple times, and the only thing that is original to the car is...

    Dollar bill to the tail pipe.. WTF?

    I was talking to my friends mother today and it turns out she was a mechanic for 20 years. She told me that if I held a dollar bill to the tail pipe and it was blown away, I had a healthy engine, and if it was sucking in, I had a poor running engine.... WTF?!?! Now i've heard of...

    Anyone got a 93 wiring diagram?

    I am about to rewire my car, but I need a diagram for the engine harness since it connects to the body harness. I am trying to keep the computer harness factory, but rewire the rest of the car since all I will need is the tail lights, head lights, dome light, horn, and ignition. I have seen...

    push button start....

    I haven't drove my car in a few weeks. I went to drive it yesterday and found out I have lost my keys for it, no biggie, I started to drill out the tumbler. I was wrong, I can't get it out! Since this is a drag oriented car, I want a toggled hot and push button start system. Does...

    Bellhousing for 5.0 Swap?

    Will a 300 I6 bellhousing from a F150 work? I have heard that they have the same bolt pattern and will bolt up. Will the clutch fork work also?

    HO vs Non HO?

    I just pulled a 5.0 out of an 88 Thunderbird. I got to tearing it down, and it has a roller cam, but it does not have the valve reliefs shaped as eyebrows of an HO. It does have a "dish" in the center of the piston, that dips down about a 1/16th of an inch. I forgot to look @ the heads to get...

    Coverting to Remote TFI?

    Has anyone ever converted their fox to a remote TFI setup like the 94-95's? I am going with a EFI 460 and it seems like it may be easier to use a dizzy with a remote TFI than modify the dizzy.

    Weight Reduction VS Hooking?

    Let me start off in saying that the mods in my sig are on another stang. This one is also a 5 speed 4 banger. I have done ALOT of weight reductions on it. I am also running a 275 Nitto DR on the back. I can not hook at all! It just wants to spin! I can nail it from a dead stop and it...
