    87 Convertible Price

    I bought a 87 convertible around 10 years ago as a project but as things go, I ran out of money before I got it anywhere. I have had a tough time giving it up, but every year it seems to deteriorate more and I don't see having the money to finish it in the next few years. I think its time to...

    Cost of replacing convertable top frame

    i am talking about a new frame installed...A tree fell on it and it needs to be replaced. The top is in good shape but If the frame is getting re-done might as well do the top. I am not paying for the tree damage so a new top would be my cost. So any idea of the cost of a frame getting...

    I got 2K to spend on my stang and was thinkging of going with the MM road and track package. Anyone ever use it? I doubt I will do much racing but i love to carve the curves and might do a lil auto-x if it comes up. Am i wasting my money by getting that big of a suspension kit? What do you...

    $50 bucks to whoever can solve this thread!

    I thought that the compressor has a clutch in it that is activated when you turn on the a/c if not...oh well...but if it does it should turn freely by hand. I would check the compressor out because as someone else posted i believe that is the only thing connecting the a/c to the engine.

    Last owner was an idiot...how hard and how to fix?

    So the last owner of my stang decided to torque down 2 of the lugnuts one one of the tires until it stripped the lug nut and bolt. So what do i need to fix it? Can i nab some parts from the junkyard from a 4 cylinder? How do i go about fixing it? Anyone else have to find pervious...

    Who is running Maximum Motorsport road and track suspension

    I plan on doing some suspension upgrades to my 87 vert and think the mm road and track is the way to go. Anyone have it? How is it? I figured i should build up the suspension before the engine, I have exhaust and gears now. Will it lower my car? How much? Does the kit have...

    Thinking of going to a carb

    I would like to do some nice mods to my mustang, HCI, but its speed density so i don't know how well it would do. So i thought maybe i should go with just heads and intake, but i might need to upgrade my injectors, another problem of SD. Now you might say that its not a big deal to convert...

    AFR, Trickflow, Edelbrock, or Holley?

    Which makes the best cylinder heads, performance wise. Also who makes the best intake? Holley systemmax makes 350 to the fly...does anyone know how much the TF street heat and twisted wedge heads make? I am thinking of going with either the holley kit, afr's and maybe the edel rpm...

    What setup for $2000

    speed density needs a special cam but they do exist. Other than that heads and intake are no problem. What would be a good combo. Should i do a kit, or should i piece it together. Maybe AFR's, with a typhoon intake and 70 or 75mm TB. Should i get bigger injectors? Are AFR's better than...

    What setup for $2000

    I will have about $2000 to spend on my mustang and want to build up the engine. What is a good set of heads, intake, TB size, and a speed density friendly cam, also any other reccommendations. I have been thinking about the holley kit, but i don't know if it would be better to mix a few...

    Looking into Intake Manifolds

    You could look into the typhoon intake on e-bay its pretty much a rougher casting of the preformer so if you want to save money and don't mind doing some clean up of the runners it might be the way to go. They go for around 290 satin or 390 polished. They would be an overkill on stock heads...

    $$$$$ how much????

    Well if you are planning on getting a whole new engine then buy a 4 cylinder for cheap and convert it over to an V8. You should be able to get one for around 1 or 2 grand and then throw the engine in that. Or you could buy a decent V8 and just have the engine rebuilt. I think the stock...

    Calculating gains before track?

    I think it would be better to measure out a 1/4 mile and time that. i know there are ways to take a quarter mile speed and convert it to an approx horsepower. So do that with the old speed and compare it to the new one and you will get a estimate of your gains.

    GT40 v.s GT40P

    I believe the FT-40s were on explores too until mid 97 when they switched over. The P's havea relocated sparkplug that is deeper into the combustion chamber, this also makes a smaller combustion chamber so you have a higher compression ratio and possibly more power. I have been looking for a...
