    Exhaust Which Mufflers?

    I've got a '92 LX with shorties back exhaust (2.5"), super 44s (or 40s) Flows, and full tail pipes. Also, I've got a great six speaker set-up (kicker) in all the stock locations, a nice double din Sony head unit, Roadkill insulation in the doors & hatch, but I still cannot hear anything from my...

    FE Build Driveability question

    Just installed a BBK 65mm TB. Went on a couple of QC drives after adjusting the idle to factory with spout connector out. Car runs fine until a WOT event. Afterwards, the idle will hang around 2k for a couple minutes. Then, I'll blip the throttle and car will return to normal idle behavior until...

    Progress Thread Got Another One! Pics

    Its been awhile since my Nasty Ninety Notch sold in 2016. But, I just got a '92 LX hatch on Aug 31st. Unlike the notch it isn't a project car. I'm quite over project cars. This is a virtually unmolested car. The only changes, besides the head lights, are off road H, 373 rear (which I'm switching...

    Which One, Really

    I've been a Mustang fan and driver since 1993 when I bought my first brand new '93 5.0. Between then and now I've had 7 or 8 Mustangs built to various levels: from headers back exhaust only, to 351 transplants, to restoration work. All of my cars have been pushrods. I sold my most recent...

    Progress Thread Nasty Ninety Notch

    I hope to document the turn of this nasty 90 notch I picked up into a gnarley 90 notch. This is almost a roller. I has the T5 in the trunk and a worn out 302 long block on a stand. That's pretty much it. The pics as she stands now says it all... That's it for now. It's parts...

    Wheels-Tires Will It Fit?

    I have a '90 notch. I'm interested in 15x10 prostars in the back and 15x8 in the front. The stock tires size for that year was P225 /60VR15. I'd like to retain the same sidewall height as the original size (obviously a larger tire will be need to accomplish this), using the weld rims. Will the...

    Wheels-Tires 5 Lug Q & A

    Gentlemen, Who can provide a parts list so that I can convert my 90 notch from 4 lug to 5 lug. I've got my eye on those weld prostars, but they don't come in 5 lug. I'm quite happy to pull parts from the bone yard to save on cost. I'm getting ready to install a UPR K-member in the front...

    SN95 Emissions: Possible

    For anyone who may be wondering about passing CA emissions with aftermarket components, it is possible. However, you must have the CARB EO #s. I just easily passed the test with GT40 heads, FRPP shorty headers, GT40 Intake, FRPP 65mm TB, BBK CAI, FRPP E cam, 351w, 24lbs injectors, hi-flow cats...

    Progress Thread 351w Swap...in A Vert

    This progress thread will be a little different in that the swap is almost complete. However, many pics were taken along the way to document the progress as well as the problems. Some of you fellow Stangers may not agree with the engine combo I ended up with. I understand that it is a preference...

    Engine 351 Swap Headache

    So I'm doing the 351 swap, and getting ready to put on the oil pan for the swap (from Latemodel restoration), when I noticed that a stock 351 oil pump will not fit inside the pan. I called latemodel about the issue and got 2 different answers from 2 different people. They sell a 351 swap pump...

    SN95 Tension Over The Tensioner

    Okay, so I'm wondering if my 1yr old Ford belt tensioner is going bad. I noticed that the wheel on it does not spin freely like, for instance, the idler pulley wheel. It will spin a couple of revolutions then it comes to a quick stop whereas the idler pulley will spin and gradually come to a...

    Engine Hose Clamps?

    Fellow Stangers, What size radiator hose clamps do our cars require? Also if you know the size of the other hose clamps (e.g., bypass, heater, etc), please feel free to let me know. I'm looking for hose clamps that DO NOT back out. This is a frequent irritant for me. The clamps back off just...

    Engine Cost Effective Cold Air In Ca

    Okay, so this isn't rocket science or even a new discovery, but hopefully its helpful to guys like me in CA. In CA they are super strict about vehicle modifications. According to CA law, a police officer can pull you over if he believes you may have illegal performance mods. Furthermore, he...

    Engine Trouble Codes!

    I could certainly use some help from someone more car savvy than I am. Recently, my car has begun to hiccup while driving and the idle has become less stable (i.e., not surging, but more like small skipping up & down). Furthermore, I went to the store and my idle stuck at 2500 rpm not matter...

    Engine Heads Up!

    Ok brainiacs, I could use some help planning out my future mods. I'm debating between two different heads for my car. I will be keeping the stock GT cam w/cobra 1.7 RRs and retarding it 4 degrees regardless of head selection. Below I'll tell you what I have on the car. Given my mods and cam...
