Well lets just say going from GM 305's to FORD 302's is one hell of a difference. I now own a 95 Mustang GT (forest green) it has a few things done to it...
CAI
75mm TB
Edelbrock performer intake manifold
MSD Ignition
Flowmaster dumps
Autometer 5" monster tach w/ a water temp gauge
Cobra hood
Brand new Bullitt wheels and Goodyear tires
And a bigger cam(couldn't tell brand or size, but it seems pretty big)
Now I must add there is one thing wrong with the car (besides the stupid Air bag light always on)...Looking at the water temp gauge it doesn't seem to stay too cool. I heard that there was a recall on some sensor in the radiator??? Not too sure, but if i'm moving i'm fine, it's when i cruise around town and stop all the time i hit the 200-210 range and I don't like that. Should i bother with a dealership or should i just buy some aftermarket electric fans??? I know flexalite has one for $210...but i don't really feel like spending that much money ( i spend enough on gas and insurance ). I found some on websites for around $80-120 and you can get a t-stat for 20 bucks more. Does anybody buy these or are they junk?
The car came with new Ford Racing wires and some plugs, a fuel filter, and a bigger Ford Racing fuel pump.
Now, i've changed a fuel filter on my firebird before, and it wasn't too bad, are they hard on the 5.0's to do by yourself?...Jiffy lube wants $55.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't the fuel pump on the 5.0's actually in the fuel tank? One more thing, (on the fuel pump note) Sometimes it takes a while to turn over, from what i hear, the stock fuel pump isn't big enough with the few mods so once i put the bigger FP on, it will supply more fuel and faster to turn over right away.? Or, could it just take some time because of the cam?
Sorry about the book I wrote, but i'm new to the mustang family and just have a few ?'s and I know how good Stangnet is with helping out. Thanks guys
