    Inside tank

    It clips on the end of the fuel filler neck that sticks into the side on the tank. Just pushes on. Likely feel off while moving/ taking tank.

    Budget torquier 4.6?

    Before you do anything, see if you can find a used blower. Twin screw or roots style. Bottom end torque for days with bolt on simplicity.

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news

    I bought my Mach 1 in 2016 for about 15 grand. Ive spent that same amount in modding the car. It's a monster coming down the road with its 430 gears and nearly double its original power... and I'll still get dog walked by any modern pony car with moderate mods. I could've taken that same 30k...

    03 Mach

    Is the bell housiing a steel piece, or is it the stock design aluminum? Ive heard the shatter resistant steel bell housings for drag racing can be a little loud and ring a bit.

    2002 Mustang GT Rear End Squeak

    If the brakes are not the issue, I had a rear end chirp back with my 04 gt. Ended up being the upper control arm bushings. Dealership replaced the arms and never had a problem again. The car was an 04 and they serviced it around 2006. But check the brakes first.

    Thr should be more than that. Is the inner side of the clutch fork properly seated on the pivot stud?

    Progress Thread 2001 Bullitt #265 - Build Thread (LOTS OF PICS)

    Pretty awesome job. Keep up there good work. Thr new edge cars aren't quite collectible yet but another decade and they'll probably get pretty popular again. Great platform for affordable restorations in the meantime. Bullitt cars will a rare special edition. Plus that green is legendary.

    Trying to figure out how the "valley heater hose" connects to the back of the water pump

    I feel like there should be 2 orange o rings of the nipple protruding from the block and the metal pipe fits over it. Been a long time. See of your local Ford dealer has a replacement nipple, I believe they came with it.

    vortech cobra what to do next????

    I would recommend jumping straight to 60 lb injectors. Tunes tend to like them because that are used a lot and they provide enough flow to accommodate future upgrades. You will also need a bigger fuel pump and for real insurance, add a boost a pump to your upgraded pump. Build a strong fuel...

    Suspension package ordered for my 97 GT

    Don't cut the old strutsand shocks. Hold the impact at an angle instead of directly on the nut. Try to force it bind up. You canget those off without destroying them. Or have a buddy wear a glove and hold onto the strut rod or upper shock while you hit it with the impact. Keep jacks under the...

    2jz mustang swap

    I think you're going to have a hard time finding anyone around here that knows what a 2jz is. My initial thought is that the straight six would be too long to fit the sn95 engine bay. Don't know for sure but I suspect it won't. Perhaps the supra pr Nissan forums would have better knowledge...

    What price should I list this for? (Rims+Tires)

    Seems like fair price. Standard tire size is a little bigger at 245/45/17 but the right buyer won't mind.

    Neeed Header/Exhaust Advice

    There's no way easy or fast way to install long tubes. I would plan on at least 300 bucks for the install if not more. The mid pipe and cat back aren't too complicated. Don't forget you may need oxygen sensor wire extensions for the long tubes as they usually move those sensors way back at the...

    Need suspension advice on 2004 GT

    Bilstein is great. However, they were getting hard to come by when I was looking for them last year. But great shocks and struts. They are compatible with many coil over kits but can work with coil springs just as well. Can't tell you much about coil over kits. I've not done them. If you do...
