    Drivetrain Proper Driveshaft Length For 03-04 Cobra T56 Transmission/shop Advice

    Hello, I've been researching the T56 swap I'm piecing together for my auto 5.0 '92 and have been unable to get a clear answer on this. What is the proper length driveshaft to use for an 03-04 Cobra T56? I've narrowed it down to shortening a foxbody-spec driveshaft by 1.5 or 2". Does anybody...

    Re: FS: GT40 Cobra Heads

    Hello, I have a pair of stock and complete GT40 heads for sale. I believe they came off of a 94-95 Cobra. These are not P heads and should work with your headers. I would suggest getting them cleaned up before installation. Thanks, post or PM me if you want them. Local pickup in Hampton...

    Brakes and Shimmy and Spindle.

    Sounds like it could be a bent spindle. Would be a good opportunity to go 5 lug if that's the case. If not, I can sell you the oem spindle I just took off of mine.

    429 Cobra Jet in '02 mustang

    You can put any motor in anything if you have enough determination and/or money. I don't have much knowledge of the situation, but I would imagine you would need to measure a lot to make sure it will physically go into the engine bay, fabricate engine mounts, and get an old school transmission...

    Brakes The Ultimate 4-lug/5-lug Brake Conversion/upgrade Thread

    No, I ended up just buying Maximum Motorsports CC plates and Steeda x2 balljoints to hopefully fully address the issue.

    What if mustang didn't exist? What would you buy?

    I own two mustangs but I love all cars. I could be in anything ranging from a vw, bmw, honda, toyota, alfa romeo, subaru, mercedes, hyundai, whatever. I just don't see myself in an f-body or vette tho.

    Brakes The Ultimate 4-lug/5-lug Brake Conversion/upgrade Thread

    It will go on in one piece, it's kind of a drag trying to get the heavy assembly on without damaging the lower ball joint but it's not a big deal.

    Advice on removing spindle off of ball joint

    If you use the banjo bolts off of the 94-95 calipers you can use the fox soft lines. Caster/camber plates wouldn't be a bad idea, and I'm using steeda x2 balljoints. What would you plan on doing with the rear end?

    Advice on removing spindle off of ball joint

    Phew, got it finally. One side is pretty much done. Here's what I had to do. Compress it with the rental compressor. Then I wrapped a chain around the coils (2nd coil and 2nd last coil). I bolted the chain together and undid the compressor. So at this point the spring is a bit compressed by the...

    Advice on removing spindle off of ball joint

    Maybe I'll go check them out, I've tried two types from advance and neither work with this car. I agree. it shouldve been done yesterday morning. But I've tried every variation of compressing it with the a-arm. Hinged down all the way, the spring is just too long, the length does not allow...

    Advice on removing spindle off of ball joint

    I'm having a hell of a ****ing time here, I'm not a particularly good mechanic here but c'mon. I'm about to try the ghetto chain method. Compress spring, wrap chain around coils and bolt tight, and remove compressor. Place in car, load A-arm, remove chain. I'm using grade 8 hardware and a chain...

    Well, here's a more accurate assessment of the tire. The HTRZ III seems to have a pretty good rating. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/surveyresults/surveydisplay.jsp?type=MP TireRack.com Tire Reviews

    I believe my friend has the previous version of those tires, the HTRZ II, and they're pretty terrible.

    Advice on removing spindle off of ball joint

    Ugh, now I'm having a real hard time getting the springs back into the a-arms. I think I had the wrong spring compressors, the kind that come in a pair and hook onto the outside. I just swapped that for the tool that goes up through the middle of the spring. I'm out of sunlight, I'll give it a...

    Advice on removing spindle off of ball joint

    Hey guys, I started my 5 lug swap on my 92 and taking off the spindles with hand tools has been kinda crappy. I've removed both the tie rod and balljoint castle nuts, and the two bolts holding the shock in. Now the only thing holding me up is the spindle won't separate from the lower ball joint...
