    Swapping a 4.0L v6 into a MII

    Probably saw the pics of my freind's '74 Capri with the SOHC 4.0L. He used a 4.0L from a '97 Explorer so it still had a throttle cable. The wiring seemed like the easy part compared to fabbing motor mounts. The engine sits really high due to the oil pan clearance, and he only has about 1/4"...

    302 to 5.0 HO EFI Swap Advice Needed

    I seem to remember reading the same about the 351W firing order reducing stress on the front most crank bearings. Also, I'd be wary of using the gear on the distributor designed for the roller cam. Swap it out for a cast gear if you're going to run it with a slider cam. The distributor...

    Bama / AM tune?

    I've been running the 91 octane Performance tune from Bama for a 6MT with no other mods for two weeks now...loaded at 1200 miles and now past 3400 miles. No before and after dyno, butt meter says it's faster, the biggest noticeable changes are quicker throttle response, especially in neutral...

    Suspension Float?

    I'll attest to mine seeing triple digit speeds multiple times over the last 2000 miles I put on it ... long road trip ... rock solid at any speed, but mine does have the Brembo package. Lots of squat and dive though...the dive is unsettling when braking hard at night since the headlights...

    Brembo Package, yes or no?

    The Brembo package has the same brakes as the GT500 both front and rear ... Only the fronts are Brembo, the rear are 2 piston Ford calipers (vs. the usual single piston). The ESC and TC are both tuned differently in some unknown way (Ford just says "unique"). The tires are summer performance...

    Is the MPG on 2011 Mustangs for real???

    I've seen quite a variety out of my 3.73 2011 GT so far at just over 400miles. My '05 GT averaged 18.5mpg for my commute. So far the 2011 has been showing 21mpg for the commute. A few accidental knees on the reset button have put up numbers like 33mpg while cruising 40mph in 6th that went up...

    2011 Mustang Incentives in your area?

    Order another pamphlet ... I was lucky and got the $750 coupon on the first try, and it arrived 2 days before my car arrived. I got that plus the $500 cash incentive in WA.

    Stock 2011 GT Cam

    It seems to me that the limiting factor after basic bolt ons is going to end up being RPM. The engine is already over 100% efficient through a large portion of the RPM range...once you have an engine flowing that well, it takes either Boost, NOS or more RPM to really get more.

    Harness dongle hanging from front of new 5.0?

    Seen pictures of a temperature sensor looking thing under the bumper on the new 5.0 ... probably the same thing on the car you're looking at, but missing whatever package has a use for ambient air temperature. If I had to guess, comfort package probably adds an external air temperature display...

    Shaker 1000 and Navigation system

    I have a Shaker 1000 in my 2005 and all it seems to be is a Shaker 500 with an extra pair of 10" subs in the trunk and a 500watt amp to run them. Seems to me anoyone out there is better off saving $1295 and using that money for something like the ~$500 powered MTX 12" sub, and have NAV if you...

    Just orderd a 2011 GT premium 5.0. Will i be disapointed???

    Don't think you'll be dissappointed with the auto... someone on an SVT forum posted a 12.73 @ 115mph with a stock 2011 GT Auto on street tires.

    2011 Mustang 5.0 GT order/buy price

    I just ordered mine yesterday and got it for invoice price just by walking in and saying "I want to order a 2011 Mustang and I want to pay invoice price"... I just built the same specs on the USAA site and the price was the same. Could save someone some registration fees...

    2011 gt price

    Last time I went through the build on fordvehicles.com it seemed to be better than the dealership at properly showing you what options/packages you can mix and match. I finally got my final build narrowed down and the last dealer I visited has called back with an offer of $500 over invoice to...

    HELP,,, 3.31,3.55 or 3.73 for 2011-5.0-GT?

    This one has been a touch one for me too... gear ratio is one of the last things I haven't been able to decide on. I've had (still having) a bad experience with 3.70 gears in a 351W powered Mustang with a Tremec 3550 5spd. when it had 3.25 gears, 1st gear was useable, and I could use 3rd...

    I am in need of 4 speed transmisson information.

    It was the input shaft bearing that seemed to die first for the RAD4's I went through. I was killing mine with abuse, powershifting and what not with a 9:0 compression, 4bbl, stock headed 302. The first two RAD4's died in one year of daily driving. The T-5 has survived swapping to an '88...

    Weight of the mustang II

    3140lb was with me off the scale trying to peek in the window to read the weight.

    Weight of the mustang II

    That should be pretty close to the correct range ... 3140lb for my 351W hatchback with some CBII parts and no back seat.

    lets talk suspension

    since I used to like to spend money on suspension stuff... I've been through some combos of suspension and would have to say the best I've had was my '74 Mustang when it had 150lb/in rear springs, 900lb/in front springs, 1" front, 3/4" rear sway bars, urethane everything bushings, but stock...
