    Gas Mileage MPG : SD vs MAF

    I was shocked to get 24-26MPG driving OR to CO with a 91 5.0 with AOD and MAF doing 75-80MPH. (OK I got up to 110 on a few stretches but ... :jaw:)

    4 lug brake upgrade

    1987-92 Mustang 4-Lug Rear Disk Brake Conversion Kit by SSBC at LRS - Same Day Shipping! Other than being a bit expensive, any reason this would not work -- all new parts and everything is there. Plus you don't have to deal with the tall gearing in the t/c rear ends.

    Brakes The Ultimate 4-lug/5-lug Brake Conversion/upgrade Thread

    Hmm, thanks Mike. Looked at listing picture -- SVO with non-drilled rotors. Has all the parts, and only $300.00, but from what you are telling me it sounds like I had best pass. Darn. :( I really want to improve on the stock braking, more so than I care about 5 lugs, but I don't want to...

    Brakes The Ultimate 4-lug/5-lug Brake Conversion/upgrade Thread

    Saleen 5 lugs onto LX I have a chance to get a set of 5 lug rear brakes/axles off a wrecked '91 Saleen for my '91 LX. Just the brakes, axles, brackets, calipers and anti-moans, but... Any input -- is this a workable way to go? What were the Saleen brakes anyhow? I heard they were Ford SVO...

    Fair price to install full length SFCs?

    So did you get the uncoated MMs and then undercoat them, or what?

    Heating up at highway speed more than in traffic...230+?

    So I am having a similar problem on my '91 vert. Reads at the N of normal, but I had a guy at a shop use a temperature gun and he read 170. Drove from OR to CO, and while the needle did drift toward the last line, it has never hissed or bubbled. Don't really want to ruin the stock dash look...

    Overrated fox upgrades and trims

    So what are convertibles -- chopped meat? :mad: Personally I like the REAL good visibility out of those! Just starting the resto/mods on my 86k '91, and I think I will start with suspension work before the blower goes on. Any input on subframe connectors and springs?
