    Why is it so hard to shift into 1st gear from a stop?

    Yes it does. To solve the first gear problem, I put it in neutral with the clutch engaged and give it a quick rev to 1500rpm. Then push the clutch in and slide it into first. For reverse, I put it into first gear and then let the clutch out slow so I only move a few inches and then quickly...

    best FITTING mid-pipe.....

    I was gonna say the same thing. All they did was jack up the front, unbolted the H, unplugged the 02's, put the X pipe together(3 piece Bassani), plugged in the MIL's, bolted up the X and 02's. Two people did it by the way with air tools.

    best FITTING mid-pipe.....

    No leaks with my Bassani X. Had a shop install it for me because I bought it from them and you know "since I'm here." They installed it in 15mins. :shock: That has to be a record or something.

    aftermarket heads???

    Go with DOHC cylinder heads and call it a day. It would cost a fortune for the swap but they are the best out there.

    Here are the instructions for the install of the Simco Gauges. The install should be very similar to the Bullitt install. Very easy. It should only take you an hour.

    Surpassing the 400rwhp mark using stock internals

    Anyone pick up the latest issue of MM & FF? The topic for Under Pressure was the "magical" 400rwhp limit of the stock internals for a 2v. It stated that horsepower isn't the cause for the internals to fail. Excessive engine speed, detenation, poor tune will cause failure. So, according to...

    How to remove front windshield decal?

    I have done this before. Slowly peel it off and use a clay bar and soap and water to remove any glue left on the glass. You can use window cleaner as well.

    Repaint?

    For my old Explorer I was quoted 3500 to repaint the same color(Black) and 6000 to change the color(True Blue). It might be a little less for a Mustang. Don't forget the time it would take to paint it. They told me it would take 1 month for the same color.
