what is the Average HP on a volvo head swap?

Wow not a bad find, I paid $500 for my 89 4Banger Auto Stang. First things first, DUMP THE AUTO! 5-Speed all the way :p Believe me its a brand new car afterword.

alright, I just picked up a 1996 Ford Probe SE. Nothing great, but it works great. Now, im pondering if I should just fix this car up or still try to fix my pony into a racer...gah!!! what should i do!? matt

lol!!! love the anchor! lol, my AOD ran like crap and shifted like crap for a while there, then started to run fine, and then *poof* dead.

tilt... Tilt steering...thats where the steering wheel itself moves up and down right? if so I have that on my 89 mustang, and it has cruise control as well. hope that helps. matt

lol im like the 6th owner, and it shows...my car has been through a lot, and a lot more than it should have since ive had it....my pony has 247,000+ miles on it.

alright, i parked my stang (had to take off the exhaust to move her cayse my cats are completely shot...heh oh well. Ive got a 96 Ford Probe as a daily driver now, till I can get my pony back on the road. So im going to assemble a shopping list of things that I need to get to get her back up and...

yeah i realized that....after i posted...lol. eitherway, im building up (slowly but surely!) a 2.3 turbo in my garage...so im not gonna worry about fixing up the 2.3 n/a. but i do need a new exhaust.

if i replace the stock exhaust manifold, what could i replace it with? im sure thats a noobish question, but im curious

alright, for now for a quick fix before i get all the bugs with the probe fixed (minor body damage and a clutch) im gonna take my cats off and ... well hollow em out. today my car started to run like...****...like wouldnt go about 20. the hissing noise (which im certian IS my exhaust) was...

lol...damn cat... Alright so im thinking the hissing noise is coming from my exhaust area too....just a hunch. I thought it only happened when the car was going with the clutch not pressed, but if I press the clutch and rev the engine up it makes it breifly. eitherway though, I went out and...

hmm...alright, so first things first, change out the cat. the tranny thing is odd though, cayse its just now starting to happen...im confused, and frustrated !

ok... Alright, about the rear end, I have replaced the bushings, and the rear mounts for everything. But im about to get a new rear end (TC rear) for it, and replace everything once again, so im thinking that will be solved. The only thing that im really worried about is the hissing noise...

Ok my pony has SERIOUS issues. Let me start from the beginning. 1) I have an incredible amount of heat coming from the shifter while im driving. Ive heard that was due to the fact that I was missing the heatsheild from the transmission to the computer. I know im missing it, so im not too...

heh thats awesome! maybe you can get one of em :-)

Ok, im about to get a new rear end for my car. I was looking at getting the 88 Thunderbird TurboCoupe rear end for my car. I was wondering though, should I get the master brake cylinder with it as well? I eventually plan on getting cobra vented brakes for my car as soon as I get the 5-lug...

ok... ok your telling me that its normal to be able to grab my wheels and move then in and out like that? that doesnt sound right!! lol damn back to square one now :(( oh well. lol just in case though, what are the different types of rear ends available for the 2.3 fox body?

times.... My old automatic transmission 1/4mile times... first thing in the morning -- 35seconds (if that) any other time -- 23seconds now with the 5 speed in it, im not too sure :p

ok if think ive figured out what the problem is....the lugs on the rear end are loose. ok i know calling them lugs is wrong, but its the part that holds the tire that the lugs are attached to. They arent supposed to move that much at all and when i put my car on jacks i could move my wheels to...

lol how much work went into this build up anyways? ive been reading about it, but i havent seen numbers as of yet.
