My stock radiator is finally done. I have a 180* thermostat and it creeps up to 195 easily and can get up to 210 with heavy traffic / hot day out. I took a look at it and it looks corroded. I have been away from the scene for a long time. Did most of my mods between 99-03 and have not driven...

Black 93 Fox, Yea i was going to use a heavy towel or piece of wood. Jerry D, if I unhook the steering shaft, is it easy to get back on? Or does it require a lot of effort or force to line back up or what not? Thanks for the help guys. I'll be doing this Saturday.. Gotta figure out the...

Thanks for the advice. I've never lifted a motor up before. What do you mean by undo the motor mounts? I don't have a hoist. Where do I place the jack? Under the oil pan? Also should the header come up out of the engine bay or down towards the ground? Thanks.

It is very tight. I tried each way for like an hour yesterday. The steering column prevents it from going down and the heads and master cylinder prevent it from coming up. This car has a lot of miles on it, i'm sure the motor is sagging due to old mounts. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

I'm working on a friends car. He has unequal headers and he snapped the studs on them that connect to the hpipe while removing his old hpipe. We couldn't get the studs out from underneath the car while the headers were attached, so we decided to pull the headers. Well, the passenger side came...

One more question, do i need to repleace axle seals and bearings? Seems like it is a pain, gotta get a certain tool, etc.

Thanks guys.

Wow. Thanks. Great responses. Which do you normally jack up first? The rear end or the front end? (when putting the whole car up) Also I know you guys say put the jack stands under the frame rails, but im not exactly sure where they are... i know the subframe connectors are on them, so...

Heading to the parts store.. had a few questions... I have 9" drums out of a ranger or aerostar. When I get new brake shoes, what year/make do I ask for? Are the current shoes on the mustang the same? As we are just changing the drums to fit 5lug? Cotter pins... is there a specific size...

I'm planning on doing my 5 lug conversion soon and I'm wondering whats the best way to jack up the car. I've never had 4 wheels off the ground at once before. 1) I want to know best places to put jackstands for the 5 lug conversion. 2) Which end do I jack up first? I assume the front...

Thanks for the responses. bgjohnson, I tried that. Didn't work. I bridged the two points on the relay with a screw driver to no success. Doesn't that rule it out? or could it still be it? 89sleeper, good link. Do you know if the PA Performance mini starter is less or more expensive...

Oh what a pain in the ass. Left work today and the car didn't start. Battery was charged. When I turned the key I heard a click coming from the starter relay / solenoid area. I tried bridging the two points and that didn't work. Tried hitting the starter and that didnt work. All the wires...

My seatbelts aren't locking any more and it looks like its time to get new ones. Where's the best place to get them? I briefly looked at 50resto.com but its like $240 for the drivers side and they dont even have a passenger side. What did you do?

1K Light Grey LX 5.0 Sedan (P40E): 312 LX 5.0 Hatchback (P41E): 525 LX 5.0 Convertible (P44E):434 GT Hatchback (P42E): N/A GT Convertible (P45E): N/A There is no GT listed there. Wonder if these numbers don't include the 89 1/2 to 90 1/2 models.

I'm not sure what's going on but i have a 89GT anniversary edition and my paint code is 1K which I believe is smoke, but thats not listed there.

Wow. Just checked this today. Great responses guys. So what is the hardest part of the tranny install? Doing the clutch? Or just the weight and pulling the tranny? How much easier is it with a trans jack?

Jquintel is correct. Go with the 91-93 fenders.

I just kept mine. They fetch little cash, might as well keep em.

For rockers, well it depends. You could go with 1.7s and that would make a little bit of power over the stock 1.6s, but after you do h/c/i most cam selections go with the 1.6 unless you go custom. Suspension. Well the most important thing to do is subframe connectors. This should be the...

I have done an H/C/I, and well the first time it took me quite awhile. The car was down for about a month, but I had a full time job, ran into a few snags (valve covers wouldnt fit, had to order new ones), only did work on weekends, yadda yadda yadda. Now I think I could do that whole job in...
