    Paint, Saleen Kit...DONE!!

    First off I know this is a 9 year old thread. I have not really been able to find any solid reviews of the KBD Saleen kit and since this kit doesn't have SALEEN on the bumper I'm assuming that's what this is? It looks good in the pics, I am US Mil stationed in Europe for the foreseeable future...

    Want to turbo my V6 2001 mustang

    You can do a nice street/cruise combo without doing anything to it... I mean if you need dual exhaust for the sound I get that but to each their own. Swapping is really just a pain in the ass because of the wiring and fuel, if you have a donor car it's not exactly hard just time consuming...

    Drivetrain Rear end gear swap

    4.10s... 4.11s are a chevy gear. Get the 4.10s, people swap to 4.10s all the time with no ill effects. Its one of the best mods to do for an auto to get it off the line quicker. Reduce the life of the trans... lol no. As long as the trans cooler is doing its job it'll be fine. I also...

    98 gt swap with 03 gt

    Did you square the K member when you put it back in? Could be a number of things, if you didn't replace any of the stock stuff that could cause it too. These cars are old now, any rubber bushings left in the car should be either replaced with new or swapped for poly or Delrin.

    Want to turbo my V6 2001 mustang

    This whole forum is about advice on how to spend ppls money. On car parts and upgrades. This is my advice and experience from dealing with these cars for 20 years. Doing anything to the V6 is a complete waste of money and time. The only 6 banger stanger worth messing with is the Cyclone...

    98 gt swap with 03 gt

    The alternator and AC compressor are the same between both cars. Keep them as spares if you want. Why did you swap fuel systems though? Like you swapped the tank and pump and rails and lines? 98 is return and 99+ is returnless. If this is what you did that was not a good idea since the 98...

    2000 Mustang GT Exhaust Question?

    Or just worry about it sounding good vs sounding like you are in an old lifted pickup with a single cherry bomb wearing white oakleys a wife beater and a dip of mint skoal in your mouth with cutouts... The exhaust you have now is fine, if you want to swap out to a catted mid pipe or even an...

    98 gt swap with 03 gt

    The PI computer won't make full PI power without a tune either... I had a 98GT with a 99GT engine dropped right in with the bone ass stock NPI computer running it for years and it ran great. This is about the easiest swap you can do, can be done in a weekend. Take your old engine out, the 03...

    Want to turbo my V6 2001 mustang

    Take that $3k and spend 1/3 of it on a wrecked GT with a good motor and trans. Swap it all to V8. Or sell your car and buy a GT.

    Stock crank limit numbers?

    Ppl gotta stop recycling info they hear on the interwebs... ANY 4.6L block is good for 4 figures. Iron, Teksid, WAP, Aluminator etc... The block is not the weak point, the rods are. Figure 400-500 or so and that depends on the tune and other factors. The cast crank is not weak, if you...

    High flow cats on a Stock 2V Mustang GT? Yay or nay?

    "High flow" is a marketing gimmick. A good set of new OEM cats are "high flow". Its when they get older and clogged up is when they crap out. Just get a catted UPR pipe and be done with it. They use Magnaflow cats which are extremely good cats and the ground clearance/fit is perfect as...

    Best transmission for 98 cobra?

    Most likely its a stick. A rebuilt 3650 is what I have done and would do again and will do again if/when the t45 in my 2000 goes. Get ahold of Stan at Pro Force Performance in Atlanta. That will ensure all the fixes are done and you can choose the .68 or .62 overdrive. Had a fully fixed...

    K Member/control Arm Question

    Eh, for DD its still all about your style of driving IMO. Lots of straight line and or an automatic, get the UPR or a Team Z. If you are a stick and like to fly around corners and have a lot of twisty roads near you... might want to look at the MM although the UPR will probably also be better...

    Common Problem Areas W The 4.6's?

    All the plastic intakes leak. The 99/00 ones crack at the crossover and it happens earlier but even the metal crossover ones will warp and leak under the tstat. Just a matter of time although we are talking about 75-100k miles time. Its only $215 for a new intake and $25 for Fel Pro gaskets...

    Drivetrain Cant Shift

    If you are going to get a single disc clutch, you want something made by Luk, Valeo or Exedy. These are the manufacturers that supply most "OEM" clutches. The Terminator clutch is literally just a basic organic single disc Valeo 11" clutch. Which is what my Exedy is honestly. Any more than...

    Common Problem Areas W The 4.6's?

    His car is a 97 so no COPs to worry about ftw! I have 0 idea why ppl convert to COPs honestly when a brand new set of OEM wires is $50 and there is 0 benefit from running COPs other than a cleaner bay. And one can just relocate the coil packs and hide the 96-98 wires to achieve the same effect...

    Drivetrain Cant Shift

    I went from a King Cobra to an Exedy Mach 400 "stage 2" and my clutch pedal feel got lighter. FYI, "stage" has 0 to do with clutch pedal feel. "Stage" is just a way for advertisers to make it simple for the general public. If you go on manufacturer's websites its best to do that and look up...

    Drivetrain Cant Shift

    Try to put an 11" pressure plate on a 10.5" flywheel and it'll interfere with the alingment dowels so that would not be the case. Probably just an old, jacked up clutch assy. Car probably feels like a brand new car with a clutch that functions.
