What is the ccrm exactly? I've heard that the TFI can cause problems similar to this and not allow the car to start when it's hot.

Ok folks, I'm a classic and foxbody guy. My son is looking for an 05-09 mustang. He'll be 18 next month and is looking for something to take to college. I need a heads up on what to look for with these body styles. Any common issues or areas to be aware of when we go looking?

I ran some knock off cobra R's 17x9 245/45 on my turbo coupe disc rear. I rolled the lips and didn't have any rubbing issues although they did stick out a bit. I eventually went with the North Racecar brackets and like the tucked in look a lot better. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

Hahaha, it always costs more than we think. Yes the pedals are a pain. I will say it helps being short.

You can, but using the Mustang harness simplifies things.

Www.stinger-performance.com has a write up on the swap. I there's is a pretty good description of where to route the cable. The 5.0 pedals will work just fine. The 5.0 and 2.3 do use different cables I believe. I used the turbo coupe hydraulic stiff when I did my swap so I'm not an expert on...

With that in the back seat you're asking to have it broken into. All the switches in the world may stop it from being driven away, by not before they slash your top to try. Leave nothing in sight, especially in a convertible.

I vote for the turbo swap. Love mine.

Good advice^ I would also scan for codes. Let the ECU tell you what it is seeing.

It is possible but really not worth the effort. The cast pistons usually don't survive very long. Most folks will just say to find a donor turbo coupe. (I used an 88 in my turbo swap). You can buy the right parts to build your own but you would be money ahead with a donor.

I just plugged it into a vacuum line and where the smoke comes out, there's the leak. :-)

I'm not sure. I actually found my leak very quickly so I didn't use all the oil that I had put in there. It'll smoke for quite a while. Yes cutting the power kills the smoke. I just flipped the switch on my inverter when I was done. Beware the baby oil stinks when it burns. Lol

I built this one last summer. Worked great! http://www.pontiacbonnevilleclub.com/forum/general-chat/topic35820.html This is mine with my daughter helping me test it out. [emoji2]

Nope, that's a new one for me.

I put the "b" springs on my 2.3t swapped with v8 suspension. Didn't notice a rake at all. I have SVE lca's.

I deleted mine and haven't had any issues. There are those that swear you should keep it. Like Red_LX alluded though, mine was in bad shape as well.

I've heard of the tall block, but I was under the impression that all of the factory offerings in those cars were standard 2.3l blocks.

If its the rag joint between the shift it's an easy fix. If it is indeed where it meets the rack then you may need a new rack. More expensive but not hard.

My 89 with a 2.3t swap. (:

+1 for the Walbro 255. Affordable insurance for future mods as well.
