I DD 4.10s with nt05 drag radials, love it. I have longtubes and full exhaust, so parkway driving isnt the most ideal, but its not unbearable. They have made up for it in the ability to pull the higher gears much more effortlessly. 3.73 is probably the better all around gear though, and if I...

Bought a truck with 8k's in it once... wow. Go with 6k or less, and honestly even 5k would be your better option. The blue may be "in" to some people but from experience for the 24 hours I left the 8k's in, they are TERRIBLE in wet weather. Aside from that, they are just plain gawky.:nono:

:stupid:Thinning out the heard of inferiors is ok in my book!

haha my bad guys. i havent been on the forum in months, didnt even check the dates.

ive been out of the game for a while, cant believe this thread is still going! ... when your routine is open door, sit down, start car, turn off traction control. ... when bowtie boys ask you what kind of exhaust your car has... as if there was ever any hope for the sound of a late model F...

this thread is the fail. fuzzy dice, 8ball shift knob, and no fart pipe?? nooo.... just... NOOO

This isn't going to be SUPER helpful, but good advice nonetheless. I dont give a damn WHAT you buy, just STAY AWAY from Sumitomo's if you enjoy launching your car and it actually going somewhere.

Mines rolling over 136k, with 89k on the motor. Keep the oil level up, and make sure you use the correct amount. If you don't you WILL scatter rod bearings. Ask me how I know. :/

What is done about the brakes with the hydroboost setup being gone? Just wondering. And I have officially halted my desire to make my engine bay look that clean one day. It was hard enough to try and match your current setup, and this is just all out!! Gonna be sweet!

Bahahahahahahahahahaha. That... isss... epic.

^^^ This or bust.:nice:

Hm, I never had to dig into head swap with my swap, I got my 5.4 in ready to go longblock form. I just heard horror stories about getting the two cams timed. In retrospect this bit of insight was gathered from a die-hard pushrod guy, so his fear is understandable haha.:rolleyes:

4.6 = Strong running DD street car 5.0 = Take a few bucks, buy bolt-ons, enjoy a fast car on a budget. I've had two Fox car's and my '99 PI, currently a 5.4L car. My '99 is definately my favorite but aside from stuff like changing the plugs, the 5.0 cars are SOOOO much easier to work with...

I personally feel that the New Edge cars will increase in value substantially by the time they are old enough to fix up as classics. They will forever be remembered as the last, and arguably best looking bodystyle Mustang of this era before the current muscle-car market went "retro" crazy. As...

I cant answer all your questions, but I can tell you that you can run a 245 width tire on a 9 inch wide room and it look good, several people run them. Including me.:D

Best quote yet. Bad as I hate to admit it, in the era of the new modular 5.0's, we are all just a bunch of poor LT1 guys with smaller windshields, a lot less cackle, and without the humiliation of a bowtie adorning the front of our rides. :nonono:

Man I hate that. And when I tell em it's a 5.4L I always get the "Ohhh bored it out, huh?" FAIL :nonono:

Yes, I'm still running a T45. And thanks for chiming in. I'm unsure of what brand I'm going to go with just yet, just thought I'd get some input before I really shopped around.

Just curious. Of all the things I made sure to do before I dropped the engine back in the car, I opted to stick with my factory motor mounts. With the extra torque I'm noticing a little more slack in the drivetrain than before, nothing too serious but I'd like to look into something to stiffen...

Good plan. I think stock 99-04 badging is super clean. I like my 35th anny badges on the fenders even. :shrug:
