Oil won't be black from "rebuild grease," it's black from being old. A fresh rebuild will have some fine shavings in the oil from break in but I wouldn't trust a random sellers word for it. Unless he can provide proof of the rebuild and/or let you pull the pan to inspect, I would pass.

pretty sweet build man! I'm digging the bumper mash up. It's a shame 8.8's are hard to come by up there. I took 2 to the dump a few years back because i couldn't give them away!

i believe a 65mm is the largest that will fit a stock intake without having to open it up. I haven't had a stock intake in a long time so i can't verify that. Now that i think about it though, I don't think there is enough flange space to open up a stock intake to 75mm without losing too much of...

Me and the old lady at a wedding this past January.

You'll gain a tad bit but the nothing you'd notice in the seat of your pants. There's just not enough velocity with the stock heads and intake to reach that TB's potential. Since you have it, go ahead and throw it on. Just make an evening of it with a die grinder and open up the intake to match.

yup, that's an awfully large TB if everything else is stock. but if you already have it, you're going to want to port the TB opening on your intake to match because it's more than likely only 70mm at the largest. That ridge created from the port difference is going to cause turbulence issues. It...

hmmm...interesting. how deep is the entire unit and what year taurus? may be something i'd consider fabing into the dash or console somewhere if i could do it and make it look factory.

I'd toast to that if the "aftershock" didn't pour it all into my mouth. Yeah, that's my excuse lol

I completely forgot to PM you, i've been running around all day! Look for it here in the next few minutes. At this point, the factory 81 bumpers is still my plan because I already have them. I'm just considering the 85/86 nose if I can't repair the factory ones i have, but i don't think i'll...

this place turns into a ghost town when OU loses. Everyone goes inside and man-baby cries all over their keyboards to facebook lol

That would be a fun swap, but more than likely i'm going to find a fox donor car because I need fuel lines, brake lines, full harness, rearend, etc. and it would be easier/more cost efficient to just use the interior out of the donor car as well. Also, I just noticed the other day that this car...

haha wow old post! Some old names in it for sure! What happened to everyone? Camo SVO...i don't know how to feel about that. Not really digging those louvers either. They look good on the back of a hatch though!

exactly. I understand it, just don't know what they think they are accomplishing by acting that way. Oh well, stangnet has always been home for me anyway!

That's ridiculous! They make aftermarket 85/86 bumpers!! Yeah the guy had an 81 mustang as well and couldn't find a replacement bumper so he was asking about swapping to an 85-90 front end. Some guy said swapping to an 85/86 nose was okay but 87+ was a no no because the site does not condone or...

It's the best I've got at the moment lol

awesome man, thanks! I'll PM you shortly It does, but those are definitely getting changed. I can't bring myself to like them at all. They're pretty beat up anyways. This is what i'm probably going to end up doing. I never thought i'd say it, but i'm excited about having a four eye car lol...

it was crazy down here in Norman! shook the hell out of my house! I have never felt one before, it was kind of fun lol. I think it was centered down in Houston with OU getting their butts kicked :dammit:

Thanks man! I'll check them out. You know, I'm actually considering doing this. Interior, wiring, drivetrain, etc are definitely going to be from an aero car one way or another and they are my favorite fox, but it would be cool to have something different than what I already have. That's the...
