    is a 85 5.0 worht puttin any money into?

    But he already bought the car and he only paid $500 for it. Its sounds like it is his first car or close to it. I can't think of a better car to get started with when it comes to mods. No fuel injection or computer to worry about. Just old fashioned hp.

    Agreed. Don't worry about the trans until your running high horsepower numbers. I'm still running the original clutch and trans and have over 280rwhp. After you swap in an 8.8 you can start thinking about upgrading the clutch and flywheel. The 85 has a 10". The 86 and up have 10.5" clutch's...

    Can't make it to 66 any time soon. Wish I could, I love that track. No NOS for me either. My times are with a DR and spinning in first and second in 95 degree heat at US41. Ran a little slower MPH last time out at NMRA at Joliet. Hook .... Bog, LOL.

    You can find just about anything you want for the car with the exception of the side molding. If the molding on your car is good protect it with your life. I've looked everywhere for it and haven't found any in the entire country. I have used all the parts retailers in the country and have found...

    Nope, useless junk. They're slow. Can't find parts, and nobody drives/likes four-eyes. However, to spare you any more shame and embarassment I'd gladly take it off your hands for say ........ $700?

    H/C/I Im on a huge budget and need a good build

    If AFR and Trickflow heads are out of the question then buy a set of Edelbrock Performer heads. They flow better then the GT40 and are about the same price. I was trying to pick between the two last summer and while talking with a FRPP tech he admitted to me that I would need porting to the GT40...

    YIKES! ..... Get that crossmember welded ASAP. Thats exactly whats causing the vibration. You are risking losing that nice new trans. I don't know what brand crossmember you have but the Ford crossmember has a little instruction sheet that comes with it and they are adamant about getting it...

    magnaflow or bassani catted x pipe

    It funny you should mention having to pry the Magnaflows. When I switched from Magnaflow to Bassani I had to do the same thing to make the Bassani fit. The Bassani pushed my cat-back and tail pipe's back about an two inch's.

    magnaflow or bassani catted x pipe

    Its hard for me to compare because the Magnaflows have cats and the Bassani are off-road W/O cats. Because of that the Bassani are a lot louder. I suspect Magnaflow off-roads would be also. Before I bought either X-pipe I did a little research and found that Magnaflow and Bassani have the best...

    magnaflow or bassani catted x pipe

    I have Magnaflow X-W/Cats and they fit fine and sound good. Later I installed Bassani OR/X and the fit was a pain in the a$$. However, the Magnaflow did hang a little low. As far as ground clearance goes, I'd go with the Bassani.

    Rick91GT. He's a good guy. Rushed the torque box supports to me when I needed them ASAP. Here's a couple sites. His number is in both. http://www.rnhperformance.net/default.html http://www.cardomain.com/profile/rnhperformance2

    Battleboxes?!

    I put some of Ricks Torque Box supports in my car last month. Very nice Stainless Steel pieces. Go to his web site and give him a call. I think he can hook you up with the torque box replacement and the battle box's.

    Thinking of new Battery

    I think the Optima is supposed to last for up to 7 years. Also, I didn't have to modify my battery tray. It more or less fit right in. Personally I have two amps, plus the head unit. An electric fan with underdrives, plus four extra electrical gauges and radar detector. I had a one year old...

    Thinking of new Battery

    Exactly, The yellow is for the big sound systems with boocoo amps. The blue is the marine battery and best for race cars without alternators.
