    2010+ HIDs are UGLY as heck!!!

    I like the look of the standard better, but will order HID. I much prefer the better light output, whiter light, and the sharp cut off you get with projectors. Putting HID bulbs in standard housings is what causes that blindness to oncoming traffic. Projectors give you that sharp cut-off...

    If I order 2011 GT premium- what option to get and what can do I myself better?

    I've been building '11 GT premiums for days now. I eventually want a pretty well modded 5.0. Probably end up with a blower on it eventually. I've also learned that I can usually save a bunch money buying factory options from the aftermarket and upgrading myself. I'd want premium 401A 5.0 6...

    Engine won't go past 2850rpm?

    Ahhh, good call, I remember TFI's being an issue on past cars. I'll put a new one in and check the TPS.

    Engine won't go past 2850rpm?

    Thanks, I'll give that a shot. Anyone know the proper voltage range it should read and the testing procedure?

    Engine won't go past 2850rpm?

    Been resurecting a ford 5.8L GT40 "proboss" ski boat engine. It's just a 5.8 with GT40 heads, intake, and the rest is all standard 5.0L EFI stuff, but with 24lb injectors. I've replaced the fuel pumps, filter, and injectors. It has 38psi of fuel pressure. Replaced cap/rotor/plugs/wires...

    Help! Need a fuel pump electrical connector

    I'm working on a ski boat with a 5.8L GT40 motor in it. It has the high pressure fuel pump mounted to the engine on a bracket (standard 5.0 type fuel pump). The electrical connector is toast and I need a replacement. Is there anywhere to find one? What kind of connector is it? I was hoping...

    How would you spec a 2011 GT? Factory options vs. D.I.Y. or aftermarket

    Yikes, that's not what I'd want to do. Looks like I'd option out the factory nav as well. Thanks for the information so far.

    How would you spec a 2011 GT? Factory options vs. D.I.Y. or aftermarket

    I've been playing with the "build your own" mustang website for a while now. I like turning my own wrenches, modifying my own cars, and always to the same upgrades to all my vehicles: Full audio:nav head unit/amps/speakers/sub, sways/springs/shocks, intake/exhaust. How do the factory...

    Won't start- tried just about everything

    Okay, wasn't the spout, it was just luck. I tried to start again and this time the engine wouldn't crank over. This with a full battery on a 40amp charger. Hmmmm.... I got spark doing the "rotate the distributor" trick- which didn't work before. So I went through and re-did all the...

    Won't start- tried just about everything

    TFI was just replaced too. I'll try to start without the spout connected and also check the TPS voltage. Codes were IAC and coolant temp out of range (engine was 32 degrees) and my typical 80's codes for my not-hooked up thermactor/emission relays.

    Won't start- tried just about everything

    Yes I went through the checklist I found after a search here. Here's what I got: Ford 5.0HO engine with the full ford motorsport setup for swap into a jeep. Harness, mass air, sensors, etc. Been running fine for a few years, then the alternators started blowing diodes (GM 1 wire types). I...

    Built 5.0HO- HP to gain with computer mods?

    Ok, the million dollar question- what cam, lifters, rockers to use then? I need MAX torque from off idle to around 3000rpm- almost never go past 5000rpm. Highway cruise is 2900rpm. Are new pushrods needed too? Running 4.56 gears with 33" tires with a world class T-5 overdrive.

    Built 5.0HO- HP to gain with computer mods?

    I built up a 5.0HO engine for my jeep with some nice goodies: blue printed/balanced, forged flattop pistons, Edelbrock performer heads, performer intake, cobra throttle body, stock cam, BBK shorty headers, stock distributor w/ MSD coil. I've used the entire Ford Motorsport mass air...

    What makes that signature "5.0" exhaust sound?

    I have a 5.0HO swapped into my CJ-7 Jeep. I'm running BBK headers to dual 2 1/4" exhaust through 3 chamber flowmasters. No balance tube. It sounds like a normal V-8. I want that deep throaty mustang sound. What am I missing? Do I need an X-pipe? Different type of muffler? Is it because...
