    Are 1993 5.0's safe to mod?

    They are safe to mod. The pistons just don't take to boost as well as forged ones. :shrug:

    long tube headers?

    Check out my install guide here. Fox LT install They gave me power all through the rev range. The install isn't really that hard. It's 1000% worth it. Just do your homework first. :nice:

    Magnapaks on a 5.0?

    I have magnaflows with a catted H and it's alot louder than stock but it's not as loud as flowmasters. It sounds real thumpy with the h pipe. Some people don't like the H with Magnaflows but I like it.

    How much will a new clutch kit installed cost, labor only?

    A mustang speed shop quoted 250 for labor while a regular local shop quoted me 330. I brought it to the speed shop and they did a great job and had my car ready the same day it was scheduled to go in. :nice:

    Magnaflow Cat Back install problems...

    I installed one too. I had to have the flow tubes shortened a tad. No biggie. I took it to a muffler shop after I installed it and they welded it and adjusted everything for about 50bucks. No leaks! :nice:

    Eurostang???

    They were at the Mustangs Unlimited Cruise in. I saw 2 or 3 of their members roll in. The guy with the silver one on their site was the only car there that didn't open his hood. He opened his trunk to show off his stereo. All of the members sat in a circle and didn't even talk to anyone. No...

    Coolant on top of Water Pump. Whats leaking?

    Mine was the same. I just put the thinnest layer of RTV in there and no more problem. (Mine is the notorious chrome housing.) :D

    Crazy dream...can it be done?

    I'd say traction probably wouldn't be a problem. Here's why: If you have the dough or time to get that engine to fit, upgrade the tranny, rear, suspension, and reinforce the chassis then you will definitely have the money/time to tub the car and put some meats under the rear fenders. :D

    Where did my coolant go????

    After I changed my thermostat I had a small leak between the bottom of the housing and the intake. It would only develop enough pressure to leak when the car was warmed up. It would drip onto the top of the water pump get trapped in one of the castings and evaporate so I wasn't leaving puddles...

    2004 SRT-4 vs. 93 5.0 Mustang

    I don't think that was a slap but, hey, maybe I don't take things like that personally. Name calling on the other hand is for kindergarten not determining whether an SRT-4 can do 13.2 in the 1/4. Whatever, good luck. I'm bored with this now. Maybe next time I go to the track I'll see one run...

    Actually you are the first one to "attack". :(

    2004 SRT-4 vs. 93 5.0 Mustang

    Nah I'm not talking about you. I figure the majority of drivers don't have the right conditions nor near-flawless driving skill to pull 13.2 (hence low 14s/high 13s) but I'm not saying it's not possible. It's very possible to knock off a fraction of a second to a full second if he had a good...

    2004 SRT-4 vs. 93 5.0 Mustang

    :rlaugh: :rlaugh: Amen. I'll never put him on ignore. It's too amusing to hear what's next. :D Oh by the way, whether a SRT-4 will do 13.7 or 13.2 it will still beat a stock 5.0 (with air silencer removed and timing bumped) Period. Get over it. It might be faster but there is no...

    Clunking rear driveshaft play.

    I have been hearing a clunk coming from my rear. It started about a week ago. It's especially noticable when I shift from 1st to 2nd or when I shift from neutral to 1st. I shut the car off and put it in neutral, slid under the car and twisted the driveshaft back and forth by hand. It will...

    Got caugh for my exhaust, 160$ ticket, need help guys!

    I also said that just because they may not necessarily be reinforcing the law doesn't mean that they can. You said it yourself...then we all probably have nothing to worry about.

    Got caugh for my exhaust, 160$ ticket, need help guys!

    I didn't even know that you can't legally de-cat a car even if it will only be used off-road. Part of that has to do with the fact that I don't have a race-only car. Anyhoo, I did a ton of research before I bought my exhaust system too. oops. :p I made a typo.

    engine oil dipstiick replacment labor question

    It's not that much of a pain. You just have to loosen one header bolt to get the upper bracket in and tighten the bolt. You can feel around on the block just above the oil pan for the hole. Just slide it in as far as it will go. Done. There is no way I would pay $300 to some knucklehead...
