    Engine build. $7000 budget. What would you do?

    Next winter my LX is going to get a new powerplant. This is something I've never done before, so I'm looking for educated opinions. These are my basic parameters: Small block-based. Fuel injected. Aftermarket block (leaning towards Boss). Naturally aspirated. Lotsa torque. Strictly street use...

    So apparently we are no longer allowed to give negative feedback on companies we deal with.

    There is a post in 5.0 Talk asking about UPR k-members. I made a post that recommended that the OP do his research on UPR before giving them several hundred dollars. I said nothing bad about the company, I provided no examples, just suggested that they might want to do a few Google searches...

    Never seen one of these before.

    Roush intake manifold. Where the heck does the throttle body go?

    Product review: MGW adjustable shifter handle

    I have had three different cars with Steeda TriAx shifters and love them. However, after I installed the 03 GT seats in my convertible, I had trouble reaching third and fifth without actually leaning forward a little bit when the seatback was set to where it is most comfortable for me. I have...

    Don'tcha just love it...

    ...when you come home from work and there's a Summit box waiting on your front porch? Even if it's just a couple of gaskets and bolts like tonight, there's something about an unopened box from Summit Racing that makes the stresses of the day melt away. It promises a weekend in the garage with...

    Are low-mile E7 take offs worth anything?

    Are low-mile (36,000+/-) E7 heads worth anything more than scrap value? I "sold" a set with 100,000 miles on them for a case of Corona. I was thinking I might keep them for a future project, but if I could get a few ducats for them, it would help finance my current one. Opinions?

    Cool weekend

    The Wife and I made a quickie Vegas trip this weekend to go to the NHRA event at The Strip. The weather was absolutely perfect at about 80 with a light breeze. Coming from Seattle where it was 50 and raining, that by itself was a great time. We were strolling around between rounds and were...

    Another productive day in the garage.

    After completing my double radiator swap/intake install, I really needed to give my garage a thorough cleaning. There were tools everywhere, the workbench was buried in "stuff", empty boxes and packing materials in piles and lots of slimey coolant puddles around. I put this Race Deck floor...

    Good thing done by 50Resto/Latemodel Restoration

    I'm a big proponent of 50Resto and their products. I've spent several thousand dollars with them over the last several years and have always had good results. The only real issue I ever had with them was resolved quickly and personally by Shannon Guderian, the owner of the company. They are a...

    A little bit of picture whoring.

    Got the Wife's car cleaned up and had a little decent weather for a change, so I decided to visit my favorite parking structure for some good pics. Honestly, I think this one's pretty much done. The Wife seems to be very satisfied with it as it sits, so now she gets...

    My last week's project

    The wife's 93 has been running a little hot since we got it. I'm planning on putting a Vortech on the Saleen in the next year or so, so I decided that I would upgrade the Saleen to a Griffin radiator and swap the newish 3-row into the Wife's car. Two Calypso cars ready to go. Pile 'o...

    Weekend in the garage coming up.

    A few months back we bought my wife a really nice 51,000-mile LX. As is very often the case with a low mile Fox, the original radiator is quite sludged up. Owning three 93's has it's advantages in that it allows the ability to mix and match parts. When I got my Saleen with 16,xxx miles, the...

    Went to the NMRA event in Fontana this weekend

    So the Wife and I decided to drive the Saleen from Seattle to LA for our vacation this year to check out the inaugural NMCA/NMRA event at Auto Club Raceway in Fontana. We had a great drive down, cruising Highway 1 from Carmel, through Big Sur and staying in Santa Barbara. Traffic was...

    So, I'm looking for a 70mm throttle body...

    ...for the original Cobra intake that I picked up for my wife's "new" 93. In searching around I found that TFS sells a throttle body that is about $100 less than an Accufab or Edelbrock. I am a big believer in "you get what you pay for", but a lot of stuff on their site is touted as being made...

    Bought the Wife a "new" car

    The Wife had been missing having a Mustang of her own since we sold her 85 Saleen, so I started looking around for a little newer car for her. Finally found a 51,000-mile Calypso LX hatch that she really liked. It was pretty much bone stock when we bought it with the exception of a set of...

    "Is my/this car a Cobra?" - the definitive answer.

    It seems like this is one of the most often asked questions in 5.0 Talk. I thought I'd spell it out once and for all. Most often, this question is brought up because someone just bought a car and the title is labeled "GT/Cobra". Many (most) states lump these two together. This causes a lot...
