    Question about camshaft + 94-95 ECU incompatibility

    My brother has been having some trouble with his car. He has a 95 GT that he just did a h/c/i swap on, and it is not running very well. It WILL NOT idle whatsoever, and isn't very drivable at lower rpms. At high rpm-wot it runs beautifully. The sad part about this is, this is after he took...

    Cobra lower intake question - coolant leak

    Alright, I'd like to get my car out pretty soon, but it needs a repair. I put in new temperature sensors last year, and immediately after I did that it started leaking coolant around the front of the intake, like around the distributor (small amount where the intake meets block) and it's...

    Question about catalytic converters (temp)

    I currently have BBK headers and BBK off road H-pipe on my car. However, I ran across a BBK X pipe with cats for $100, and decided to buy it. The current H-pipe I have has had the hangers (that go into the trans xmember) cut off, and it hangs down awfully low. I only put 200 miles since...

    Hooked up Cobra intake wrong - coolant got in intake

    As the title states, I was just trying to hook things up together the way they came apart, and so I hooked up the coolant line to the Cobra intake (boy I wish that thing would have at least come with some instructions). Basically, coolant got in the intake since the car was run for about 10-20...

    Started car: more questions result

    Alright, I started the car after doing the complete short block swap with h/c/i combo. Obviously I need to fine tune the timing, but it seems I got it close enough for the car to run. However, I had a slight problem of coolant going everywhere. First, it looked like some was coming out of the...

    Upper intake hose questions

    For once the search function failed me, I could not find a thread that addresses this issue (there probably is, but I was retarded and could not find it). One of the lines that runs out of the back of the upper intake goes to the fuel pressure regulator. However, the new adjustable regulator...

    Parts Master motor mount nut size issue

    I am having a slight issue with the motor mounts I chose to go with. Now since I somewhat know what this forum is like, I will have to throw in the disclaimer that I was in a rush to drop the short block in, so I only had time to go get replacement motor mounts from Champion Auto, and not wait...

    Head bolt did not torque down

    When I took off my heads, one of the head bolts snapped off in the block. It actually felt loose immediately when I began to torque it off, like it was sitting in there loose before I touched it, and sure enough, it was broken. To make a long story short, I resorted to using a heli coil kit...

    Cleaning carbon off of pistons

    Just wondering what you guys recommend to clean the carbon off the tops of pistons would be. I was going to use a fine wire cup on the end of a power drill, with the piston near/at TDC, but if this will scratch it or be detrimental in any way, then I do not want to do that. I do not have an...

    Cam install questions

    Alright, I did a search, I promise, but I did not really get any good material so I thought I would make another of my rare posts. I will be installing a cam in my car this weekend, and I have never done this before. I just had a couple of questions pertaining to it: Is there a trick to...

    EGR spacer and cobra intake question

    Alright, this is the second question I have posted up today, hopefully people do not get fed up with me! I bought quite a few parts from people from the local club for very good prices. One of the purchases I made was this: Now, when I posted that pic up on the local car forum, there...

    Fuel pump install pointers

    I did a forum search but did not come up with that great of information. This weekend I will be swapping out my fuel pump for a 190lph unit. The only other vehicles I have removed gas tanks on are Jeeps. I am thinking this will be a tad different on an 88GT. I am assuming I have to remove...

    Oil Pump

    Can someone describe to me the process of replacing the oil pump? I do not trust mine, and I would like to replace it when I do my h/c/i swap. There does not seem to be too many articles and things on it to help out the mechanically disinclined such as myself. Thanks.

    95Brakes--->99+Brakes

    Tonight I am supposed to go help my brother figure out how to replace his calipers on his 95GT with calipers off of a 99/newer Mustang. Evidently the newer ones have 2 pistons as opposed to one or something. Just wondering if anyone could give me a heads up as to what exactly is invloved in...

This car is an 88 Mustang GT, and it is used primarily as a weekend car, and sees a few autocrosses over the...
