    Mustang is gone, thanks for all your help.

    Well, the time came, I had to get rid of the stang. I have a baby on the way so I needed something a little more dependable, automatic so the wife can drive, and generally a car that doesn't "need" any work or mods. So I sold the stang on Wednesday, and bought a 95 T-bird on Saturday. It's a...

    Stock NA exhaust diameter?

    Anyone know the stock exhaust diameter on the NA 2.3? I removed the precat and and used 2" pipe, but it's a bit too large. I'm thinking its 1 3/4 or something close to that but don't have a tape measure handy and am going to get more pipe when I leave work today. Thanks

    Heater/Turn signal help.

    Ok, I have a big problem here. For the past couple of months my heater/turn signals have been acting up. What happens is that once my car is running neither the heater nor the turn signals will work until I hit the dash with my hand. Most of the time one light hit will make them both come on...

    Found a 2.3T now what?

    Ok, so I found an 85 TC sitting in a yard near me. The owner told me to take what I want. My question is this. I only have my car and no way to pull the entire engine. I don't know many people around here and the ones I do know don't have a wench truck or anything. My wife would kill me if...

    What years did they make the T-bird TC?

    Like the title says, what years did Ford make this car? I ask because I drive by a house everyday on my way to and from work and see a T-bird sitting in the yard. It is 86 or older because it has the chrome grill. If this is a TC will it be a good swap car? I mean does it have the 8.8 rear...

    How would this perform?

    Ok, so I was talking to this guy in my neighborhood about my car when he made a suggestion. He, by the way, is a mustang guy as well only he is running a supercharged 306. Anyway, he said he started with the 4 banger and moved up. He said he has the tools and parts needed to turbo my car...

    Throttle response?

    Can anyone give me some ideas on how to increase my throttle response on a 2.3 NA? It looks like I am not going to be able to do a turbo swap for a while so I am just going to tweak my NA. Already found a ranger roller cam with lifters and am going to make a CAI. Also going to do some porting...

    Cam question.

    Ok, so I want to upgrade my 88 2.3NA to the Ranger Roller cam. I was wondering what else needed to be changed during the process? I need to replace my lifters, so do I need to use the stock ranger lifters or is there another recommended style? Also, I was looking at Racer Walsh and noticed...

    Chilton's question.

    Well, I was in my driveway a couple of days ago messing around with my car when my neighbor comes walking up. He hands me Chilton's for 1989-1993 Mustangs and says I don't need it anymore, do you want it. So I said sure. The thing I am wondering about is my car is an 88, the manual is 89-93...

    Engine noise and Idle question.

    Ok, so when I first start my car in the mornings, cold or hot weather, I have 2 things happen. First until my car has been running for about 10 minutes I get this lifter tapping sound.

    The most I can do to my N/A, no turbo or nitrous.

    Ok, like the title says, what is the "most" I can do to N/A engine without going turbo or using nitrous? I have been able to find random threads about different things but I was hoping to just them all in a good list. I have noticed a lot of guys here have all their mods in the signatures and...

    What to do with $500?

    Well, I am in the process of selling my Jeep. 1980 CJ5 $3500 in North Carolina(shameless plug). Anyway, I am allowing myself $1000 of that price for my car. The first things are wheels(ponies I hope), a paint job and a higher flow exhaust. If I shop wisely I might be able to get all that for...

    Temperature question.

    Okay, over the past week I noticed that when I turn my car on my temperature gauge goes to the middle, half way between hot and cold. It does this as soon as I start my car, not after its been running or anything. I double checked the wiring but nothing is messed up there. I am guessing my...

    Throttle body swap?

    Ok, I searched the forums but didn't find anything. Am I going crazy or can you swap a TB from a mid 90's stang on to the 2.3 n/a? I thought I read that someone did that but forgot who. Is this for turbo only and if you can do it to n/a what kind of gains do you get? thanks

    Body work questions?

    Well, I have been working on my 88LX for a while now. I am trying to smooth out the body due to old paint job, hail damage, rust and I just don't want it blue anymore. I am trying to do all this on a low budget. It is currently about 75% primer gray now, with all the rust ground to bare metal...
