    My engine is a 351 stroked to a 383 90mm Throttle body 90mm MAF Right now i have a 90mm intake going to a 4" long K&N filter. I know it picks up alot of heat and unnecessary dirt from the engine compartment. The stock box has an outlet that is quite large and can be modified to fit. If i...

    Why do i see people in convertibles of various makes and models (Not just Mustangs) with the top down, door glass down but the rear quarter glass up on both sides? Never understood why. Chris

    Engine Coolant Temp Sensors All The Same?

    Are all 5.0 temperature sensors the same internally as the 94/95 coolant temp sensor? I'm talking about the sensor that connects to the computer....not the dash. Thanks.

    Electrical Yes Another Ccrm Thread With Possible Solution

    Uuugh so my fan decided not to come on AGAIN... I believe the reason why i burn threw CCRM's is because i use the Lincoln Mark 8 fan that has a 40+ Amp draw when kicking on. (I know its not 2 speed and variable BUT when the ccrm actually works it maintains 180 degrees just using the high...

    What would happen if....

    .... I ran out of space between the fan and engine area so i mounted a universal coolant reservoir in front of the radiator behind the bumper but its mounted lower than the radiator. I ask this because i have had coolant disappearing. I drive and park it and no matter what the radiator is...

    Town Car Rear Control arm bushings help

    Since i work at a Garage/ Dealership/ Limo company i figured i would try to bring my 1998 211k Town Car back from the brink of "Death Trap". Front Bushings, tie rods, ball joints etc. i changed with MOOG so far so good. The rear bushings were dangerously gone so i replaced them with...

    Best Alternator EVER!

    So ive been playing with alternators....doing research... Heres what i have. I swapped my engine brackets to the 351 aluminum truck brackets. This way i can still run the 4 bolt a/c used in the 95 mustangs but more importantly i can use the 3 bolt truck alternators. This can be done on any...

    Engine Doesn't Like To Run When Cold.

    Not sure if its because of all the modifications or what but my car just doesn't like to start when its cold. I'm talking colder than 40 outside cold. If it were 60's+ the car starts and idles fine. But when cold i have to hold the gas pedal down partially. When doing so i feel what seems to be...

    Engine What Radiator Cap?

    I'm almost certain i burped every bit of coolant out of the motor after changing the intake gaskets. So here's the issue. If parked the car will stay dead on 180. (where its supposed to be) If i start driving it will creep up to around 210. Even on the highway. I have a Stant vented radiator...

    Usa Supercharger’s Trick Blower Adapter?

    Anyone see these? I always wanted a blower on my car (One that mounts to the intake directly) But it seemed that a 351 Lightening lower (hard to find) with a KB (not enough boost) was my only option. This looks promising....Says you can run a 6-71, Marshall, or BDS on it. Tho only thing...

    What Strut Tower Brace

    I have a 351 based motor in my Convertible. EFI with the big Box R intake. I have no lower support because it doesnt clear my canton pan but i do use MM XL Sub Frame connectors. Is there a Brace that will clear this out the box? How effective is a strut tower brace? If i have to fabricate...

    Rocker Arm Adjustment & Preload

    So i don't have chatter in my valve train but see that the procedure for preload is different than what i have done in the past. I have Probe Shaft Rockers. 1.72 The way a speed shop told me to adjust them is so that the push rod still spins. There is still some pressure on the lifter. I...

    Engine Throttle Cable Slack?

    I was over on the Bronco forum and apparently throttle cables get slack (Who knew?) Have any of you guys checked and found slack in your cable? Seems the Bronco guys are using zip ties to take up the slack where the cable meets the pedal. Get a friend to push the pedal to the floor and check...

    Engine Thermostat Housing & Overheating

    I'm using a SBF 90 degree thermostat housing on my 351 based motor. The thermostat is higher than the radiator housing which makes it a pain to bleed air out the cooling system. U was going to try the 45 degree maybe but are there any housings that come straight out??? Or an aftermarket piece...

    Lets Talk Gear Ratio

    All i have to say is WOW. I replaced the intake gasket and got an Edge Converter with the proper stall. 3000 instead of 2400 (Although i need to send it back for modification) I'm finally getting aftermarket "wider" wheels next year. Still rolling around on the pretty 16's. This car will...

    Engine $20 Mini Torque Starter On A Budget

    So guys i know how mini torque starters can be costly....Personally i don't like Rebuilt stuff. OEM will work for 15 years usually before needing replacement. I don't know if a write up on this has been done before but here it is. You can swap the nose on your current mini high torque...

    Engine Losing Coolant For A Couple Years

    Yeah so my motor randomly loses coolant. Maybe 1/2 radiator every 100+ miles. I cannot find the leak....even after a coolant pressure test that showed the motor wasn't holding pressure. (Slow leak down over maybe 5 minutes) Oil looks fine. I don't see anything coming from the lower head...
