    Anyone know the difference in 2.3 and 5.0 shocks/struts?

    hmm...so basically it works depending on how bad you want it to. thanks for the info.

    Anyone know the difference in 2.3 and 5.0 shocks/struts?

    ah, so basically no quick fix unless i do the whole front brake system and at that point it isnt a quick fix (lol). and im assuming the shocks wont work because of a somewhat similar reason/because i have a 7.5?

    Anyone know the difference in 2.3 and 5.0 shocks/struts?

    i have a 93 4 cylinder and found some V8 red koni front and rear shocks for a good price and am wondering what would need to be changed to get them to fit. he also has some what he believes to be c springs for sale for a good price and i was wondering what would need to be done to fit those...

    is my t5 world class or not

    when i bought my car i was told it had a world class t5, didn't think much of it cause i was stupid. had the car longer, decided i wasnt sure 100% if it was. i have 4.10 rear gears and my first gear tops out at like 35 mph. i was told that the 4 cyl t5 first tops out at like 15 or so mph. if...

    think i floated a valve.......

    lifter perhaps? check the oil, i think sometimes it can be remedied by that. oh and make sure it's not exhaust. isnt the trick to put a screwdriver on the valve cover to see if its valve chatter?

    E-brake swap: 1985 with a 1993 ebrake, how?

    my 93 has it on the right side of the console, but that's beside the point. is it possible to get an 85 console that matches the interior? that seems like the least invasive method to me.

    kind of a dumb question

    SN95 or turbocoupe brakes are probably a lot easier and have a better knowledge base because they're a more common swap.

    5.0 swap questions

    couldn't i just use my current alternator or would it not charge enough? i thought the A9l of the same year would cover all of the wiring differences anyway...what all things will need to be changed like the alternator and lights harness?

    5.0 swap questions

    thanks for the replies guys. i know the 7.5 isn't too great behind a track car, but on the street i know they can take it cause my friends has taken it for over a year, even with the 4 cylinder tranny. now the mention of the fuel lines reminded me...will i be able to just get 5.0 fuel lines...

    5.0 swap questions

    nah, 4 cylinder springs work fine and actually give better weight transfer i think. my friend did a swap and he left the springs and it was fine, but he moved so i can't ask him the specifics of the swap. thanks for the reply though.

    5.0 swap questions

    i'm sorry, i tried a search, but it only gives 50 results and i don't know any other way to find out except to start a new thread. the 4 cyl car is a 93, so from what i've gathered, if i get a 93 computer and engine harness, there would be no wiring issues. is this correct? other things i...

    How do I set the timing on a '91 4 cyl ???

    couldn't you get one of those adjustable cam gears (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33625&item=2456834087&rd=1&ssPageName=WD1V) and have at least a few degrees to work with?

    Grinding noise when i shift into reverse.

    once again, IT IS NOT A PROBLEM. T5 REVERSE IS NOT SYNCHROMESH. YOU HAVE TO EITHER WAIT FOR IT TO SLOW DOWN AND SYNCHRONIZE ITSELF (like crovax said) OR SYNCHRONIZE IT JOOSELF.

    Grinding noise when i shift into reverse.

    no problem at all. T5's reverse isn't synchromesh so all you have to do is put it in 5th and then reverse (actually any gear will work, but 5th is right by reverse). no grind. g'day ps for those inquisitive minds, putting it in 5th will synchronize the transmission since reverse can't...

    valve interchangability?

    i have another dual plug head available that i would buy the valves for and put them on before i put the head on. i'd probably get a good gasket too since the head's off (just to eliminate any possible future problems). someone on turboford is selling stainless big valves, i might just buy...

    '89 Mustang turbo?

    the merkur was still available in 89...is there any way to say that you swapped the motor from that or is that also not allowed in california?

    valve interchangability?

    to quote myself 2 replies ago, "i have forged low comp pistons" (not sure what compression ratio that would put me at because i dont know if the head is what causes more compression on the dual plug motors). i am not worried about the bottom end withstanding boost. i use 93 octane, have a...
