    4 lug to 5 lug conversion

    Question#1=I honestly don't know. Question#2=The 94-98 axles will not work with drum brakes. The 5-lug Ranger axles will work though. Why don't you take the entire 8.8 with disc brakes and all out of one of the Stangs at your salvage yard? That would be the easiest thing to do. They even...

    Are there any 01-04 Saleen Cobras?

    Being a former Saleen owner, I'm partial to those cars. I've been looking to buy an 03-04 Terminator lately though and wondered if Saleen made any Terminator-Saleens in 03-04. Anyone know?

    03 Cobra Experts in Here

    Two quick Questions. 1. Did they make 03 Cobras in two different shades of dark grey? 2. Which of the 03 Cobras have the head cooling problems? I heard it was the early 03's but when exactly during the year did they correct it? Is it true that the corrected heads have a blue dot on the...

    SVT dead?

    I hate the GT500 Shelby This whole "retro" stang thing is getting way out of hand IMO. Kudos to Ford for putting out a Mustang that will appeal to the retiring baby boomers but badging an SVT engineered Stang a GT500 Shelby is simply ridiculous. It would be better if it was just the 2007 SVT...

    03-04 Cobra Head Problems?

    I've been looking around and will be buying an 03-04 Cobra in the near future. I remember reading somewhere about some of the 03-04 Cobras having defective cyl. heads or something (#7 or #8 cl. I think)? Are there certain early production cars that should be avoided? Any other recalls or...

    Cobra Axles

    They will go into the 8.8, but the 94-98 Mustang axles are .75 inch longer than those of the 87-93. So it's gonna move your wheels out that far on each side and force you to use the rear brakes from a 94-98 Mustang as well because the longer axles will not bolt up to the Fox Drums.

    People Who Know Transmissions Please Help!

    The Car= 94 Mustang GT that was converted to Manual from AOD by a used car lot before I bought it. Transmission went out so I ordered a 94-95 Cobra transmission from D&D performance in Wixom, MI. They swore that a 94-95 Cobra Trans would fit a completley stock 94 GT-----is that true...

    Bad Steering Wheel Vibration. Suspension experts in here.

    OK, I'm very frusterated with my 91 GT. Up until about 65-70mph the car is very smooth and enjoyable. However from about 70 on up my steering wheel bounces up and down way too much to the point where you can actually see it vibrating. It makes the car very unpleasnt to drive at highway...

    Bought new speaker grilles from 50resto...they suck.

    Yea you're right. I didn't mean to talk bad about 50resto in general, they are a great company serving a great purpose, I just thought that all Fox grey interiors were the exact same color and didn't expect to have to paint them. I'm just lazy. Sorry 50resto. :nonono:

    Bought new speaker grilles from 50resto...they suck.

    My factory grilles had seen better days so i ordered some new ones from 50resto thinking that it was all good. They offer them in red, black, or grey. Anyways, I got the grey ones today and they are a WAY darker color grey than the factory FOX grey interior. Anyone else have this problem...

    need opinions on this hood scoop

    How much is that scoop? A cowl hood can't be that much more. I'd put the money towards saving up for a cowl hood but that's just me. :nice:

    Opinions on These Control Arms

    My vote would be for Maximum Motorsports. They make high quality stuff, much stronger than Steeda and about the same as Griggs for less money.

    18x9 Bullitts w/ M2300K 5-lug?

    Don't waste your money on the FMS kit, it is way overpriced. Just do a little research and you can piece together a front and rear swap pretty easily without spending 2 grand on a kit. An axle here, a spindle there, from the salvage yards will save you big $$$. Just my 2 cents. BTW--Those...

    5-lug on a Fox

    Because the Sn-95 axles are longer by .75 inch. I mistakenly put them on my car when I first did my swap and they rubbed the rear fenders like hell. You have to use "Fox" length 5-lug axles from a Ranger, Aerostar, etc.
