    8.8 rearend whining noise in reverse

    I have an 8.8 rearend with an Auburn Pro diff, 31 spline axles, and 95+ 5 lug disc brakes. I had the rearend built by a shop, and its just never felt right. I took the axles out to put in the new brakes and now that its back together it does this humming whine thats very loud especially when...

    QA1 coilover strut rebound??

    Do the aftermarket QA1 coilover struts behave differently than regular struts. When I compress them, they don't rebound back, but they have resistant pushing them down or pulling them up. These are brand new so I doubt they are bad. Anybody else ever experience this?

    X2 ball joints, UPR K-member and 96 A arms??

    So I just installed the UPR K-member for my 85 GT. I also have the 79-93 A-arms from QA1, but I have a problem. If you listen to all the hype about steering geometry then I need to get the Steeda X2 balljoints to correct the alignment problems from lowering the vehicle. The problem is that...

    QA1 coilover, K-member suspension problems!!!

    I purchased a QA1 tubular K-member, coilover conversion and control arms from Summit Racing, and I'm having clearance issues now. I've double checked the part numbers I ordered and everything checks out. The problem is that my rims are pushed way forward and I can barely turn my steering wheel...

    Anyone want to watch my custom exhaust build?? PICS

    I'll be starting in the next week my custom exhaust project using mandrel bent pieces of plumbing, a Summit universal X-pipe kit, Flowmaster mufflers and prebent tailpipes. This setup will be 3" not 2.5", and I'm also welding in catalytic converters. This is actually for a 501 BBF, not a 5.0...

    Are there even enough people to start a build thread?

    Should I put up a build thread in the swaps section? It doesnt look like too many people care to even post in this section so I don't think too many people would benefit from posting the ins and outs of swapping in a big block.

    Unlike Bigfoot, BBF and 5-speed DO exist!

    Hey, I recently saw a thread where someone mentioned my name and BBF. That put a smile on my face! I also have that sweet video of that dude tuning his BBF with fuel injection. I'm writing this thread to let you know of the possibilities with BBFs in a fox body. I'm currently "massaging" a...

    QA1 coilover problem

    So I'm doing my overhaul of the 85 GT. I'm installing a 501 BBF, TKO600 5 speed, and Tubular K-member with lower control arms and QA1 coilovers. Right now the suspension is off the ground but I noticed something weird. When I put the rims and tires on, which are 3 spoke 17s from a 95 GT with...

    Aftermarket and Mustangs don't mix....

    ...and I'll explain why. As some of you know, I've been redoing my 460/Tremec setup with all new goodies. I kinda went all out, but I've run into a lot of assinine problems that I shouldnt be. Allow me to review these issues so I can vent about how the aftermarket screws up more with Fords...

    Heres how the plan went horribly wrong!

    I have an 85 GT as you most know, and the plan was to install a tubular K-member,but since its an 85 I have to run either newer lower control arms or tubular control arms so I got the arms. You all told me that 95+ control arms would mess up the track so I bought the 87-93 arms. But since I...

    Lets straighten out my suspension before I buy everything.

    Ok, I'm redoing my entire front end and money is no option. This includes the suspension and the brakes, but aside from the spindles we'll worry about the brakes later. I currently have a Flaming Rivers rack, manual, for pre 94 mustangs. A QA1 tubular K-member, steel C/C plates with...

The holes are all slotted and there is a lot of movement so I can see that tubular K easily being installed cockeyed or something. Anyone discover this and what...

    Tubular control arms and springs

    Question, all the lower control arms I see dont have any provision to load a spring or coilover setup so how do you install your springs with tubular control arms. I bought a K-member and it says I cant use my 85 stock control arms so I have to get the aftermarkets, but how do you load the...

    SN95 brake conversion question

    I'm kinda doing everything at once here so bare with me. The question here is about the brakes. I have an 85 GT which currently sports 87+ up brakes and spindles. I just purchased the SN95 spindles and Im also installing a tubular K-member and 95+ lower control arms. I'm assuming the 95+...

    Anyone use Accufab midlengths before.

    I had some mid length headers made by Accufab for my 460 but it fits horribly. I had to completely shave down my SFI bellhousing and beat the crap out of the header collector and Im not too happy. When I spoke to the salesman he said it would fit with my manual setup, but its not even close...

    Torque specs and head gasket for 460

    I was wondering if anyone here knew the torque specs and a good head gasket to use with aluminum heads on a 460. I just bought Procomp heads and cant dig up the info to install these things. I wasnt sure if a different head gasket should be used because I'm mating aluminum too iron.

    More guage questions

    Ok guys, I have an 85 GT and I'm going to use all autometer guages but I have some questions. First question is, what is the ohm rating of the fuel level sender because there are several different fuel level guages, but the most popular seems to be the 0 to 90 ohms. Second question, I have a...

    1997/1998 GT with rough idle slight miss

    I've got a GT conv. 4.6 from the 97/98 era, and the customer is complaining of a rough idle. It does seem to have a slight miss. Intake was recently replaced because it was overheated. Also, the vehicle received a complete tune up not too long ago. Following checks were done and it seems...
