BBK makes a 78mm now?

Does anyone know if this service port can be removed with the a/c fully charged? My high side port is now leaking after a full a/c evac and charge. The high side port started leaking when I took the manifold gauges off.

Your 3rd gear ratio for the t-45 transmission is 1.33:1. The 3rd gear ratio for tr-3650 transmissions is 1.32:1. 1996-2001? use the t-45 2002+ use the tr-3650 Go to www.randysringandpinion.com and go to the "gear calculator" section and input your desired numbers. Many 99+ GTs came...

I take it you went to SAR for 1/4 mile? Sounds to me like you're running about a second slow on N/A. Try replacing the old plenum and 56mm throttle body. I've heard that sometimes people who use the 75 mm throttle body lose power without internal engine mods. If you go back out to the track...

I have 85k and have only had issues with the cooling fan (still stays on high all the time), had to replace the water pump because the main seal was leaking, starter, upper intake replaced under warranty from leak behind alternator, and now O2 sensors. I think the biggest problem people do is...

has anyone used denso oxygen sensors on a 96-98 GT? (may also be applicable to 99+) It's time for me to swap the oxygen sensors on my 98 GT. I don't need the catalytic sensors because I have MIL eliminators. Are new ones side sensitive? I am thinking about buying new Denso O2 sensors from...

Has anyone had problems with their cooling fans on a 96-98 GT? About 2 years ago, I was at a local drag strip when my car was stock. The fan plug fried (I assume during shutdown when I turned the heater on to sap heat from the engine). I took my car to a Ford dealership and they replaced the...

i think the biggest stroker kit i've seen turns the 4.6 into a 5.1 modular. the 5.4's can go as big as 6.0. check out sean hyland motorsport (SHM) http://www.seanhylandmotorsport.com/ apart from that, you can bore out the cylinders a little, but probably not enough to give more than .2 L. I'd...

that's a good point. street handling (road race, cornering): lowering springs, ball joints, larger swaybars, strut tower brace, adjustable caster/camber plates, rollbar drag handling: drag radials or slicks, soft rear springs, drag shocks both: new rear control arms (upper and lower)...

if you're gonna install a transmission, go ahead and buy a new clutch because it's not worth putting an old one in. i have a used t-45 for sale- $300 with most parts. i would not recommend racing on a t-5, t-45, or tr-3650 platform though. they like to break easy. if you buy parts to put the t-5...

you just need a different bellhousing. call lakewood and see if they make a t-5 bellhousing that bolts to a 4.6 block. keep in mind that you'll need a starter for a t-5 too. I did a TKO swap and only needed a new clutch kit and fork. you will need a new transmission crossmember from a GT...

Hydrogen in the tires... Don't know how much weight that would free up. Hahahahaha. On a serious note, reducing rotational weight is more valuable than reducing vehicle weight. This means that reducing 15 lbs. from the driveshaft and wheels will make the car much quicker than taking a 25lb...

I believe those are 17X8s from 94-95 GT with the premium wheel package. They look similar to the 93 Cobra wheels (same size). The biggest you can put on 17x8 is 275 wide (maybe 285 at most). i have 275-40-17s on my 17x8s and the people at discount tire can barely put them on... if it was...

i saw a PI head kit on ebaymotors for $1320. supposedly, it's a complete kit. I don't know what parts are used (new/used heads, cheapo gaskets) but that's the best price I've seen to date. www.ebaymotors.com. search "PI head". the $1320 was buy-it-now price. Blev... what's your 1/4 time?

I have a Bassani off-road x-pipe and a Bassani aft-cat set up (quiet thunder) for a 98 GT. I've had it for over a year, but have never been able to get the right tip (as viewed from the rear) to line up properly. after taking it apart and putting it back together many times, it appears that the...

oh... btw. you'd want to get a new differential for better traction. the stock one won't give very even power distribution to each drive wheel. a new and better aftermarket differential will help split the power 50/50 to each wheel, which is optimum.

common spline patterns are 28, 31, and 33 spline in axles. that's the number of individual bumps (splines) on an axle. a 31 spline axles has 3 extra splines than a stock 28 spline axle. more splines means a bigger axle in diameter. when you upgrade axles size from 28 to 31 spline, you must also...

has a check engine light come on yet? does your exhaust smell funny or normal? if you've driven with the car like this for more than a tank or two and the check engine light has not come on yet, try unplugging the battery for 30 mins to let the computer reset. if your your A/F ratio is off, you...

Take your belt off and put some belt dressing on it. Thats makes it go away. Also, gatorbacks are bad about whining if you have not run your car for a few weeks. They just need to be removed and lubed with belt dressing. Belt dressing NOT recommended for supercharger apps. because it causes...

School: 275-40-17. 275=width in millimeters; 40=aspect ratio, which means 40% of width, which equals 110 millimeters tall; 17=diameter of wheel in inches. As far as an extra set of wheels goes, you would be best off with a set of small diameter wheels (15in.) for drag racing. It takes too...
