    well, you can hand fab an adaptor to put a 5.0 T/B on it, or else you can swap one off a 2.3 turbo car. (pretty sure that will work) darren

    Oil Pan Gasket

    I helped out a buddy of mine do his on his 87 notch... he ended up being able to pull the pan out by just unbolting the exhaust at the headers, engnie mounts, and he also removed the radiator hoses. you may have to unbolt the trans mount as well as the drive shaft. He jacked the motor up until...

    Tempo 2.3l questions.

    No they are not the same....the 2.3 mustang is called the Lima engine since it was built in lima ohio. it was used in the 2.3L pintos and now has made its way into the fox body stangs as well as the rangers in that era. the 2.5L that is in the rangers also show some similiarities to the 2.3...

    thats the trickey part...i thought i had the green arrow, so i turned into the middle of the intersection and by the time i was out there, i had already been hit. The light cycles and even if traffic is moving in both directions, if you pull into the turn lane, it will stop traffic and let the...

    351 w heads on a 302?

    Im in the process of building a 351w...The heads you have should have larger intake ports and breathe a little better than the stock 5.0 heads. The down fall is that the bolt holes on the 351w heads are 1/2 and the 302 are 7/16. it can be done, but be careful. Also, according to one of my...

    Is this a 289 or 302

    if you really want to find out (however, like everyone else said, too new for 289), pull the rocker covers. There should be a 289 or 302 stamped in the iron. There is the same thing on the lifter valley if you pull the intake.

    I really appericate everyone's concern. I wish the hit would have been a little less severe, but the main thing is that i can build the next one bigger and better and not mess that one up. If anyone needs parts, feel free to let me know...I'd rather have her go to fellow stang owners...

    Its going to be a pain in the ass, but it should be a fun project... i didnt think about injecting before the blower, but thats basicially what the carbs do...good point. i have a lot of friends in fab shops that are willing to help out so this should be a fun learning experiance.
