    Ford Racing Shorty Header Collector Stud Size

    It's the same as your stock manifolds, if that helps.

    New here. Have a few question about my 92 5.0lx

    First, welcome. Having owned a couple of automatics, I can give you two bits of advice. First, 3.73 or 4.10 rear end gears should be your first modification. This will GREATLY improve your driving experience by improving your accelleration. Second, there is a little thing called "the AOD...

    Help.. Control arms (PIC) What brand are these???

    They look like the generic Summit Racing/LRS/American Muscle/Granatelli made-in-China stuff.

    Sub frame Connecters

    You can have cheap or you can have good. You can't have both at the same time.

    "Trick" to diagnosing possible header exhaust leak?

    Get yourself about a three-foot length of hose. Put one end to your ear and probe around your exhaust with the other end. You WILL hear where it's leaking when you find it.

    Stock heads?

    If the "headers" you're talking about are on the floor next to the stock intake, those are the stock stainless manifolds. Again, stock intake, stock exhaust, stamped rockers and cast iron heads, you're about 99.32% guaranteed that those are stock E7's. Another telling point is that it still has...

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

    To me, "small block" is 302-based. 351 is a Windsor.

    This is my preliminary budget for the long block.

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

    Fail. The first criteria is that I want it small-block based.

    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...

    Knowing what I know now...

    I would have left my trunk lid wingless and stuck with my stock hood.

    Caster/camber plates

    Mike is absolutely correct. :eek: If you are wanting to improve your 'vert's handling, I would do the following in this order. 1. Full-length subframe connectors. 2. K-member brace. 3. Lowering springs and a quality set of shocks and struts. 4. Caster/camber plates. 5. Performance...

    equal length or regualr shorty headers?

    According to this test, the difference between equal vs. unequal is about 4 horsepower. Certainly not worth the hassles of installation and spark plug interference in my book.

    93 Repair Manual

    There is no substitute for the factory manual. There is a large (huge!) service manual and a much smaller "Electrical and Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual" or EVTM. Both are excellent. You can usually find the service manual on eBay for $40-60 and the EVTM for $15-20. They are well worth the money.

    Headers install tips and instructions, please.

    That's the air pump (smog pump). Once you get the air intake junk out of the way you can remove most of it by loosening the clamps on the two hoses that are stacked on top of each other and the one from the back of the air pump. Just pay attention to where the couple of vacuum lines attach...

    How do you feel about my wheels?

    We have the Cobra's on one car and the Anniversary wheels on another. Here's a pic to further confuse you.

    Headers install tips and instructions, please.

    PB Blaster would have no effect on the actual metal. If the stud broke, it was either due to being corroded to the point of weakness, or the nuts weren't broken free from the stud.

    Yes. Sorry.

    Where to buy Heater Hoses that fit?

    Hmm... I'll have to tell my buddy that works the parts counter of my local dealer that he's doing it wrong. Bear in mind that LMR buys their OEM stuff from Ford, then marks it up. I have bought many parts over the counter at the dealer for much less than LMR sells them for in the last few...

    Where to buy Heater Hoses that fit?

    +1 to the above. They're less than $10 from Ford and it's the right part.
