I'm running 18x9 with 275/35-18 Nittos up front. No issues. Wheels look flush. Regards, John.

Might be interested, depending upon condition of "rough" wheels. Send pics and asking price to [email protected]. Thanks.

Anyone?

Hi all: I tried to put my new 9mm FRPP plug wires on today, but they wouldn't fit in the factory wire holders. I tried drilling them out, but broke one, so I gave up. What I am looking for is a kit that has 8 holders to contain 4 wires, with 2 of the holders having provision for attachment to...

I use Red Line synthetic and have had no issues whatsoever. I use it in the Cobra (engine oil, tranny oil, rear) and in my Expedition (engine oil, tranny fluid). Regards, John.

I just put the MM sfc's on my '98 Cobra. The transmission crossmember does interfere a little, but like someone else said, nothing a couple of minutes with a cutoff wheel won't fix. Once the sfc's are welded in, just weld the crossmember to it and it will be STRONGER than before, not weaker...

How, exactly, does adding a few holes increase internal stresses greatly? Adding roughly-machined holes that aren't properly deburred, might leave enough surface roughness to act as a stress concentration. But as I said, I took care to leave smooth, chamfered holes. The RMS surface...

Lots of people like to debate about this, but rather than make sweeping generalizations, I prefer to stick to the facts. On my Explorer, I went to my favorite test road with a buddy, and made several consecutive stops using the same point for brake application. After two stops from 60mph to...

Here you go: I drilled mine on an Explorer Sport I used to have. It had brakes that were too small to begin with, so they would fade after a few hard stops. After drilling them, the difference in braking performance was very noticable. They would still fade a bit, but it took a lot...

I can't say for sure, but the '95 R used a taller hood for clearance, so I doubt a stock hood would work without lowering the engine mounting position. I have read where people installing a 5.4L use spacers to lower the k-member, effectively lowering the engine in the chassis. They then use a...

If you are de-uglying, why are you considering black wheels? Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Hmm... Maybe I shouldn't say, since it is your car. Well, since you asked... I think black wheels are ugly, except maybe on a black car. I'll be so glad when the black wheel fad dies. Get some polished CCW classics. Here's a set for sale with tires on a car that's the same color as...

I would think you could do it using the parts from a 5.0L SN95 Mustang: K-member, motor mounts, bellhousing, etc. Assuming you're talking about a 351 Windsor, it's the same as a 302 but with a taller deck height. Ford did it in 1995 with the Cobra R. No need for carb or homemade intake &...

My car has made a popping noise off-throttle since new. When I put Flowmasters on, it just got louder. I like it. I have no leaks, and an otherwise stock exhaust system. Regards, John.

flashstang04: Where did you get '98's in 10.5 width?!? I've been looking for those for years! Regards, John.

I had to remove mine two weeks ago when installing subframe connectors. As I recall, you need a 15mm for all four exhaust flanges and 10mm for the hanger at the crossover. O2 sensors were 7/8in, I think. For the passenger side exhaust manifold flange, you WILL need at least a swivel, or most...

Stang dreamer: I've looked into this. There are numerous threads on this. Swapping in a '03/'04 Eaton requires all the intake parts, intercooler and plumbing, and the entire front accessory drive and timing cover to be swapped. If you buy the parts new (if you can find them), you're...

They are controlled electronically, and monitored, too. If you just remove them, you will get a CEL unless you have a tuner delete them or buy a kit that "fools" the ECU. Regards, John.

I would like to know the answer to this, as well. Regards, John.
