    Transmission problem

    Mine is a 89 convertible with 2.3L that was converted to 5 speed from a 87 Turbo Coupe. My car has a open 7.5" with 3.73 gears and it scoots pretty good at low speed for having about 125hp. Do yourself a favor and get a aluminum clutch quadrant. Mine originally had the stock Ford plastic...

    Transmission problem

    I have never had to shim a Ford starter. It sounds like something is not seated all the way, almost like the tranny has not slid all the way in. But then you should not have been able to bolt the tranny to the block if it wasnt lined up. If the starter gear is only hitting the edge of the...

    want advice for turbo build up

    Rebuild your motor stock with forged pistons. It is highly recommended that you install some ARP rod bolts You can use your stock EFI upper and lower intake but it is highly recommneded that you gut the upper and port and knife edge the lower intake. A cold air intake, solid tube, and a...

    just bought a 4 banger coupe need performance

    Since you did not mention what year car but did mention you have a 8 plug head I assume its a 91 or later Mustang? 1991 was first year for the dual plug head in a Mustang and should have the Ranger roller cam which does not give a performance boost per se but does reduce friction which does...

    Just went to get subframes put into my 91 convertible...bad news.

    Just took my 91LX convertible in to get some Kenny Brown subframes with the seat supports put in only for shop owner to tell me and show me the rear subframes are too rusted to weld the subframes in properly for performance use. He said he can put them in but he cant weld to the rear...

    87-89 140MPH SPEEDO INTO A 91LX WITH 85MPH SPEEDO?

    A guy has a 87-89LX 5.0L instrument cluster for sale. Will the whole cluster of just the speedo drop into my 91LX? The gauges look identical in design and layout. Thanks in advance for any help

    N/A head on turbo motor?

    You can use a normally aspirated head, just use the turbo motors exhaust valves which IIRC are made from a high temp material (Stellite?). Turbo motors I think also had a more hear shaped combustion chamber to try and reduce detonation. I know of no difference in the port size or design...

    4bbl 2.3L

    See about getting a 2.5L crank on Ebay ($265+/_) and the small journal bearing spacers from Racer Walsh. Get someone who is good to port and polish the head and a good cam and a longtube heder and you could get some decent power out of that. Boport has been able to get over 200cfm on intake...

    LA3 Limits

    I think some guys on Turboford are running LA3 with SDS tuners. Some guys are running the 89 and later factory mass air systems with a 94 Mustang 65mm TB. DO NOT BUY BAMAFUEL. There are a number of customers on Turboford who have prepaid for the $600 unit and have not gotten them. Until...

    Hey! I bought a white face gauge kit for my 91 Mustang and have pulled the collar off the steering column and have pulled screws on the top and bottom of the gauge cluster piece that has the two switches on each side. The gauge cluster cover is loose and I can pull it away on the left...

    4bbl 2.3L

    Most people that used a 4bbl used the Offenhauser intake. It would work with the oval ports and D-port heads though it didnt match the D-port head all that well. The normal carb was the Holley 390crm 4bbl. Most people now use a ported E6 EFI ported lower intake with a carb adapter. Nothing...

    I need some help with 5200 carb

    I will see if I still have my Haynes manual for my 79 carb turbo Capri. It had a whole section on the carb. Any chance you can post a pic of the carb and add arrows to the parts your trying to ID?

    I need some help with 5200 carb

    Go to a local library and go to the technical section and they should have a whole set of Mitchells manuals. You should be able to track down a exploded view of the carb. You wont be able to check out the manual but you should be able to photocopy the page. Other option is to go buy a Haynes...

    New and have a picture request of sheet metal interior

    Nice work on the Mustang. Had to laugh because my 86 LX currently has Turbo Coupe wheels as well. In the pic of the Turbo Coupe it looks like the disc brake rear is still in the car? I hope you plan to pull that and use it in your Mustang, heck of a brake upgrade and if the TC was manual or...
