    Bought me a truck

    Not a bad looking truck. Makes me miss my 79 Bronco. Much better with the cap off as well.

    Hello I'm new and have a few questions

    Your list is a good start. As far as suspension goes, a good coil over conversion would help. I have eibach springs and KYB AGX adjustable struts/shocks on mine. It greatly improved the handling. I will be putting on new upper/lower control arms and that will tighten it up even more. Where...

    HELP! Overheating on Streets

    My heater works just fine in the winter. Has no problems keeping me nice and toasty even when the temps dip below freezing. The water pump may be overkill, but I got tired of the gauge climbing way up, especially at the drag strip.

    HELP! Overheating on Streets

    What I have done with mine is put in a higher flow water pump, 160 degree thermostat, and a heavier duty 3 core radiator. Runs very cool even in 100+ degree heat, and never climbs up even at stop lights.

    Love it!!! Great job!!! Always been a fan of the early four eyes. My best friend growing up had a 79 Pace Car as well. His was the 2.3 turbo though. Always wanted one for myself.

    Can you pull the motor without pulling the tranny?

    The dowel rods are just to help align the bell housing. keep in mind that the pressure plate is bolted to the flywheel, so it would come out with it. Then you may have alot of issues getting the trans/clutch lined up. FWIW, I can have the trans out of my car in about 30 minutes. It would make...

    hesitation under throttle?

    You never stated what injectors you are running. Is the MAF calibrated to the injectors that you are running? That would be a good place to start.

    Who makes the best adjustable clutch cable?

    STEEDA, any other one and you are wasting your money. Had a UPR on mine at one point, and so happy that I got rid of it and put the steeda on. The bushing where the cable enters the firewall came apart on the UPR cable.

    New Fast and Furious

    Might be a little different here in the midwest. I see very few sport compact cars, but many mustangs, camaros, etc......... And with the new Challengers and Camaros coming out, the war is definitely heating up. Just yesterday, I was at KCIR racing my bike, and could count the number of imports...

    I have been around the car scene since the early 90's as I am sure many of you have been as well.. One thing that never changes is the love for American Muscle Cars. I have seen many trends during the years such as mini-trucks, sport compacts, etc........ but people ALWAYS come back to muscle...

    What's the story with your 'stang?

    Back in 1998, I was in the Army at Fort Carson in Colorado. I was driving a 1990 Ford Escort GT. It was modified and fairly quick, but didn't have any top end. topped out around 120 or so. I re-enlisted to go to Germany for 3 years, and wanted something better. I have been a Ford guy my whole...
