    Engine Building Up My Stock 88 Lx 5l Ho

    Very good write up! I have two fox body's, one with a budget engine build (Explorer parts) and another with all the expensive high performance parts. Favorite is the budget build due to best bang for the buck performance.

    Cobra intake worth it?

    GT40 Intake/Heads etc Not too bad. Think I paid about $150 for heads and intake and TB at pick a part. That included my labor to remove. Should have gone on 1/2 off day in the fall/winter as it was Aug in Houston and a steam bath. You may need to work on the heads too so keep that in mind.

    92 GT vs 93 Cobra braking test

    Before you upgrade to disc in rear be sure to make note the motor trend test result comments below. This test does not take into account fade or wet braking to keep it in perspective. Braking performance from the Cobra's new four-wheel discs and 17-inch rubber was disappointing. Hampered by...

    Engine problems - break up above 2500 RPM

    Engine miss My mustang did this at 4000 RPM, looked all over for the problem and finally found the computer ground wire had way to much resistance. We replaced one of the 2 ground wires (#60 and #?) problem was gone. Good thing my son being an experienced master tech. Also Jrichter always...

    motor mount recommendations please

    mount problem The energy suspension will not lift the engine as high as the prothane or stock rubber mounts. Could be just my car, I had to shim mounts to so steering rack did not hit passenger side of 7qt pan.

    springs

    I do not want to blame the Eibach pro kit springs as do not know if that is the sole cause. Combination of adjustable upper lower control amrs with rod ends on the front side KYB adjustubles with most loose settings and maximum motorsport caster camber plate in front all contribute to ride...

    springs

    Suspension springs Also have a stock 1990 GT Hatch and like the ride and has acceptable handling that goes with it. Even my son complained about the 1988 GT ride on the rough streets (and that suprised me). In 1968 did not buy a used 1965 GT350 and even then did not like the ride either...

    Eibach pro kit I do not like the rough ride now. I am putting the stock springs back in. Not sure if it is all the springs since I have steeda full length sub frame connectors, adjustable rear tubular lower and upper control arms and MM caster camber plates. Car is tight on corner but hell...

    What's the widest tire you can run on pony rims?

    245 50 16 I had 245 50 16 on my 1988. Did not like the lateral movement from side to side which affected handling. I bought 225/55 16 BF goodrich and no side to side movement. I do not have enough grab from a stop or in lower gears. I should go to 17" with 265 rear and 235 fronts. I do...

    Just failed smog.. help please

    Smog failure Try running regular gas it burns faster. Also check your air pump and lines going to heads and if applicable cats. Mine won't pass at 1500 and will at 2500 with ease which I believe is due to cam.

    Fox body factory paint overspray

    Probability of unibody damage is higher when car has been repainted to I will look harder if the overspray is not factory. My 1988 is black and cannot determine if any overspray is there. How about your's?
