    Few rearend questions

    Get your Torque Box's taken care of now before you tear them out. At the very least the lowers. After that I would go with subframe connectors. Huge difference in the feel of the car. For lower torque box support pm Rick 91GT on this site. He makes a stainless steel kit that has one extra piece...

    Bassani X Pipe - BBK Hpipe SUCKS

    I run Bassani Equal Length shorties with a Bassani O/R X-pipe with Magnaflow cat-back. I originally had Magnaflow X-Pipe W/Cats. The Bassani O/R X was a tight fit but the headers did match right up. I think the X-pipe may have been about 1/2" longer then the MagnaFlow cat pipe. They came in...

    Weld Draglite fitment question.

    15X8 with 5.5" backspacing with a 1/4" spacer to keep the 275/50/15 tires off the inner fender well. Car is lowered 7/8" and the tires do not stick out of the fender. Picture in link.

    1/4 mile times

    Your reaction time has nothing to do with your quarter mile times. The tree can go green and you can sit there for 5 minutes and it still wouldn't change how fast the car does the quarter. Your only concern with reaction times would be if you are racing someone. Get your 60' times down and watch...

    [B]Smog Pump Delete, Worth It?[/B]

    No you won't pass emissions. If you pull the smog pump you have to pull the cats. A lot of guys put on an off road h or x pipe and put the cat pipe back on for the emissions test. You can pull the smog pump and just put on a smaller belt. The size depends on what accessories you have. Or you can...

    Its good to know a little history of the car. Did the original owner leave it stock or has anything been changed?

    Have you pulled the alternator and had it tested yet? How about the voltage regulator? If your not sure where the voltage reulator is, it should be located between the shock tower and battery on the inner fender. Pull it and take it into a Pep Boys or Autozone and they will test it for free...

    If there are no tags on the rear end cover then measure the height and width of the cover. Do the same with the 88 GT you have. If its the same, you have a 8.8 rear. If its smaller, its the 7.5. While you have the back of the car lifted on your jackstands, tape a string to the driveshaft. Make a...

    Check your VIN with the Mustang registry to find out exactly what you have. http://www.mustanggt.org/ I don't remember if the 84's all had the GT markings. I know the 85/86 did.

    Doesn't the 88 have all of the harness and wiring? Nothing says you have to stay with the FI. The motor doesn't care if the induction is carb or FI. Put the 88 motor in and throw on a RPM intake with a nice Holley 600 or 650 and be done with it. The FI motor will require an electic fuel pump and...

    Thats the answer right there. You have your doaner car in that 88. Pull the motor and rear end and swap them into the 84. While you have the motor out swap in a new 10.5" clutch and flywheel. That would also be the perfect time to have your exhaust in place. Do this and you have something...

    Car would not start this morning

    Could be something as simple as corrosion at the battery terminals. Start checking wire connections, especially the pos and neg cables. Might even just replace them. Take your alternator and voltage regulator into an Autozone if you have one in your town (I assume you do, they're like Starbucks)...

    Car would not start this morning

    It still might be the battery. Just not enough juice to turn the motor. Try leaving the lights on for 30 seconds or a minute. If they die out in that amount of time there's your answer.

    I wouldn't sell that car if I were you. $500 is still a great deal if not a steal. It has lots of potential. Just because its not a roller cam dosen't mean it can't be built. Not to mention, you can find a junk yard 5.0 roller for around $300, freshen it up, find a set of heads used, throw in a...

    is a 85 5.0 worht puttin any money into?

    There are some big differences between the two years. The 85 was the first year to use the roller cam and factory headers. Also, the 5 spd was beefed up some. I believe 85 was the first year for the World Class T5. Your car still has potential, just make sure when it comes time for a cam you go...
