I dont know what your price range really, is but I believe borla makes a extremely excellent exhaust system for your engine, that blows the Magna and the flow out of the water...

Thank you, so the first step for a serious increase would be to pull the bull'Kiss Me''Kiss Me''Kiss Me''Kiss Me' sohc heads, and drop some dohc? or a different set of SOHC? Im not hugely knowlegable about Ford engines quite yet. =). What heads are available? and prices if you know a range.

I know its not wise to ask this on a stang only fourm but I figured the lot of you would know probably more then most fourms. I have a 96, 4.6L V8 in the Thunderbird. I know the engine is the same base as the stangs, with different cylinder heads, and higher compression pistons. I was wondering...

Well I work for Skyline Ford, a Large Ford Dealership in Oregon. The reason im so interested in this is because our Service Manager is talking about it as well. One of the reason he was stating was the reason for the bigger engine bay in the New Mustang was to accomadate the Boss Engine, since...

Lately ive been hearing from some guys in the shop that there is gonna be a new Boss mustang released within the next 4 years. Now I dont know the authenticity of any of this, but if any of you stang enthusits have heard anything regarding this PLEASE let me know! I have always loved the BOSS...

If you havent already cured your problem Jeff, another thing you might want to check is your suspension system. A ruined Leaf, spring or a worn strut can cause your pads to brake by applying extra pressure to the axle. =P

Another side note you might want to check on, is your Drum springs. Spring kits are relatively inexpensive and can be the cause of many woes if your return springs are shot. Do a simple check on your springs by dropping them about 2 feet onto a concrete floor. If the sprangs make a loud clang...

Thank you 98, stang for knowing something about locking Calipers. You need a special tool to turn the rear calipers. Your piston basically screws backwards into the bore. The best way to do this is to park your car and do not engage the PB! Then wiggle the caliper till you can remove one pad at...

Good call Pony, I completely forgot about value stem seals. =P Now I feel all dumb =P.

Yeah, the leak down test as you accurately stated the name =P. Will tell you what you need to know. I would just hate to see you either have to struggle with tearing your whole engine down and rehoning the cylinders and then installing new rings on trued Pistons when all you had was a faulty...

Yes..A worn value seat allowing oil onto the value would burn off and come out as undectectable smoke beneath your hood. Also did you know 2 drops of oil every 50feet, every 50 feet, while the engine is running will cause a quart of oil to burn up in 500 miles? =P. Forgot to mention that your...

If it was your rings...you would have blue smoke coming from your tail pipe because oil would be in your combustion chamber. I dont know who your talking too but....I cant help you much more ^^. Good Luck on your vehicle

Your compression will always be higher with a wet compression test Dave, that applies for all engines because oil helps make one of the seals between the cylinder wall and the rings. The thing you have to worry about is a larger then 10% difference from dry to wet. If you have 100 psi per...

Alright Dave, heres the low down. Your gonna want to run a pressure lost test, using compressed air you keep air in the cylinder and you allow for the guage to measure how much air its losing. However when you run this test, listen for hissing or what sounds like air coming from your engine...

Have you checked yet as to if the Cobra motor's Wiring Harness matches the one off your GT? Or do you already know if you have to re run all the wiring, if your not doing this yourself, Complete engine exchanges are fairly Expense, at least here In the Salem area. Another Question for you? I...

So, Essentially your going to pull your catty, and open the Exhaust lines by replacing your Exhaust Manny with a Header for start? Good idea, but 1 word of caution on doing that, make sure you dont drop your back pressure to low on your engine. Also Have you checked for replacement heads that...
