    What radiator are you running with your DCC Controllers?

    FWIW, I have a Lincoln Mk VIII fan with the shroud already trimmed 3/4" for a Mustang. Hit a Pull-a-Part and score one for cheap.

    alternator question

    If you live close to a pull-a-part, you can make a pretty cool harness for it for next to nothing if you don't want to buy the harness from PA. See here for details.

    alternator question

    130 amps is typically the minimum needed for the typical bolt-on Fox w/stereo. I use a 200 amp Powermaster I bought used for $50, but I really don't need that much. www.paperformance.com is probably the best source for brand new 3G alternators and they carry a lifetime warranty.

    Alt wiring question?

    jrichker: 1) Why does the factory run a fuselink on the yellow wire and send it all the way to the solenoid? 2) I thought the factory green w/red runs to the amp meter. Why put a fuse there?

    Anyone who has put D0E heads on an EFI 5.0

    :nonono: Never, ever, ever put different heads on an engine without measuring piston-to-valve clearance and pushrod length. If you don't have time to do it right the first time, what makes you think you'll have time to do it again?

    260/300 rwhp/rwtq from a 5.0?!

    Well, GT40P's are likely a bit better in terms of their torque curve which is what you are looking for in sprint races (I assume this is road racing). Early speed density cams produce better numbers on average. I would suggest measuring your valve events to see if you can degree the cam to...

    Shocks and Struts

    FWIW, I went back with stock Motorcraft replacement shocks and struts on mine, but since you may have a bit more in the budget, you might rather have the adjustables. Just make sure all of the other suspension components are tight before you put too much into shocks and struts. What kind of...

    Police interceptor GT

    Dunwoody, GA has a few late-model GT's running patrol duty. They also run Chargers. I guess they get out on both 285 and 75/85 for a bit of speed enforcement.

    steering "chatter"

    The more likely culprit is an air bubble in the system. Have you changed pumps, racks or hoses lately?

    Just bought 85 GT have a few questions guys

    Find your local Motorcraft parts distributor. You can get all factory replacement stuff for cheaper than even the discount parts stores. http://www.motorcraft.com/wheretobuy.do Don't go to the dealer as they charge about a 150% markup.

    gt40p heads install

    I did this with mine and had no issues. Just take off the diverter and use a heater hose splice to route it directly to the tube. BTW, the car in the sig got 25 mpg last week on a short road trip. If only the factory had built it like this....
