    Livernois Motorsports gets 415 RWHP / 399 RWTQ in the new 5.0!

    I suppose they're relative... but I think only to those who can afford the high end. To everyone who can't, they're not at all relative. That's why they're called "status symbol," no?? Anyway, rather than responding to the rest... even though I typed it all... we've hi-jacked the thread enough...

    Really Really need help with car not starting

    I think you're VERY close to having this running, and either your timing is off or you have a defective distributor(or a part within). You're getting fire and you have fuel and air... With correct timing, you should hear it running. My best guess would go to either being 180* out or just a...

    Speedo cable "clip" is there a trick here?

    Oh... I have a vague memory of this from the early-mid 90's... So I could have it wrong. It seems to me, you push in on the closed end to spread the clip, allowing you to slide out the cable. Before re-installing the cable, you replace the clip if you have removed it. That's how I remember...

    Livernois Motorsports gets 415 RWHP / 399 RWTQ in the new 5.0!

    The automotive magazine world compares the Mustang to Corvette. Most people, not given the idea, would never really pose the comparison beyond the seating capacity and the simple realization one is a true sports car and the other is not. Status symbols less than 150K are common, but even a home...

    Car cranks but won't start

    That almost sounds normal... Once it's primed, without the engine running, it should stop. It's been way too long since I had that setup though, so maybe someone can give you the (correct) answer.

    build suggestions 88 GT

    When I switched, I used a Ford A351 block, but there are higher and lower priced options out there. An old seasoned block will do, almost no matter what year. I also chose to go with a solid roller cam, though most may recommend hydraulic. A good forged rotating assembly is a must and I just saw...

    My 'wimpy' Windsor

    The FIRST thing I'd do is find a new dyno and try again! That's about what I was thinking. I'd get an RPM or Super Vic to replace the Torker II and I'd even consider tuning down the carb until you make other changes. At that power level, you probably have too much carb. Many have...

    Livernois Motorsports gets 415 RWHP / 399 RWTQ in the new 5.0!

    Don't look NOW, but it was YOU who said 10 Mustangs, sir laughsalot... But doesn't know why. Yes, we see your point... Have you ever actually had a Mustang? You can't seem to not beg a way to knock them. My point was simpler still... While its "only" a Mustang, it outperforms most vehicles...

    Car cranks but won't start

    Getting nothing, but turning over... Check those "salt-n-pepper" shakers in the rear of the engine bay. If they're disconnected, you'll get nothin'... but an engine turning over. Problem is, there are so many possibilities that it won't be well diagnosed on the internet.

    automatic trans issues

    And prepare for a trip to the shop. If it started dropping into a lower gear, then seemed to go back to the higher gear when you let off, somethings probably burned. Then again, that was typical of the old AOD and AODE. Heat has everything to do with it, but not so much heat of the day in...

    Livernois Motorsports gets 415 RWHP / 399 RWTQ in the new 5.0!

    I see no reason to purchase a status symbol. Besides there are several better performers than an C63 AMG for far less money, not to mention that if you got those 10 Mustangs, you could sell 6 of them and not only buy the AMG, but probably your new home as well.... Though, thanks to the...

    RUSTY Rear Axle on the New Mustang GAG!

    Ahhh... There we go... Some here are acting like this is "major rust" when in fact, it really isn't. I get it though... It should look nice. I also know where to by a can of primer and paint and I know the undercarriage can be treated... Just seems some are allowing this to be a much...

    Livernois Motorsports gets 415 RWHP / 399 RWTQ in the new 5.0!

    HP wins out up top. Torque wins down low... provided traction is available. Supercharged air is bound to help acceleration, which explains why the 03/04 Cobra gets to 130 quicker even though the 1/4 mile time is close. The Cobra has launch issues compared to the 2011, not just due to IRS, but...

    Almost Done! 351W swap Hoo Haaah!

    I replaced my entire suspension front and rear, K-member and all, including a Flaming River rack. Had it aligned at the highest rated shop I could get it to and still, mat the go pedal and pray, even from a 50mph roll! :D Of course, it was a 408 making over 500rwhp(and a Fox chassis). :p...

    Almost Done! 351W swap Hoo Haaah!

    Bottom line, they fail. The T5 was designed for use behind 6 and 4 cylinder engines, not V8's. The stock or mildly built 302 is one thing, a 351W makes much more torque, causing that much more strain on the weak link. I've shattered T5's without the aid of slicks or even being on a race track...

    So don't read what I write. Got it? :nice: And btw, grow up, clown.

    dancing

    Might actually have a problem. First thing I'd do is carefully inspect eah tire and rim. If you have a bad tire your car may do any number of silly things, including leave the road. Also, check over all areas you put a wrench, rachet, etc. Make sure everything is properly tightened. It may...

    driveshaft bolts

    Some bolts are more stubborn than others is all. I've always started with a 12 pt 12mm shortwell 3/8 drive socket and rachet. If that doesn't work, I'll go to a wrench unless I'm feeling lazy. If so, I use a 3/8 drive impact, impact socket and swivel. Makes quick work of any d/s bolt that way...

    Almost Done! 351W swap Hoo Haaah!

    Since all Mustangs got unibody construction, I just think the trans will be the 1st to go. I went through several transmissions before my torque boxes finally went. I was also running 12.1's before getting a roll bar, heartily stiffening my car. Of course, at the time, I drove a 3yr old car, not...
