    Order in the Ford System

    I have been stopping in my local dealer about once a month to see when they could submit orders for '05 Mustangs. Well, yesterday they got 3 allocations. I sat down with the sales manager and keyed in the order for a GT, 5-speed, Redfire with parchment, spoiler delete, bullet wheels, interior...

    Anyone notice the Ford 'Quality 1' apparent on the right front tire? It's a left side tire on the right - check the directional arrow.

    Release date for 2005s

    I think the confusion is with the Ford GT and the Mustang GT. The Ford GT Job 1 is 29 Apr 04 - putting it in the showrooms late May or early June.

    From the questions you are asking, I would recommend that you not grind on the heads yourself.

    How do I improve torque?

    The easiest way to bigger torque under 3000 RPM is trade to GM LS1 power - where shifting is optional. Next is the KB whipple screw blower kit. It's the only blower that will really boost the low RPM range.

    64 Mustang 289

    The 64, 289 info must have been in the Ford media package - I've read it in several magazines - and here.

    64 Mustang 289

    The press release info that I have read for the '05 Mustang keeps referring to the 64 Mustang with a 289 cubit motor. I don't think there was a 289 in 64. Wasn't it a 260?

    INteresting dyno proof about how 03 Cobras respond to mods-

    If you want to get serious about performance measurement, you need a weather station to do your own HP corrections on the dyno and the track. Check this out: http://www.computechracing.com/drsystem.html

    Desktop Dyno - Please rate this motor...

    Well, that program is worth exactly what it cost. I loaded it with real head flow data and cam events from a Harley motor I did for a friend of mine last year. I have real carb flow numbers and rear whell dyno numbers. I designed the engine on Performance Trends' Engine Analyzer Pro - it...

    Interesting notes in how newer cars take time to adjust to new mods- dyno results

    Suggest that you get a weather station and start doing your own HP corrections on the dyno and the track. I think your dyno operator is blowing smoke to get your $$. Check this out: http://www.computechracing.com/drsystem.html

    180 T-Stat installed

    The dyno operators that I have been around say - for max power, start the pull at 160 F water temp.

    Interesting notes in how newer cars take time to adjust to new mods- dyno results

    I've seen that happen when the oil temp wasn't up for the first pulls. What I really suspect is that the dyno HP correction factor was changing - the temp pickup for the dyno was seeing increasingly higher temps but the air to the engine was not.

    What can you stroke a 4.6L GT engine to??

    Back to the question! The biggest arm I've heard of in a 4.6 is 3.80 inches. With the stock bore of 3.55 inches, that is 300.9 cubits (4932 cc). I think the popular thing is to use a 3.75 crank with a .030 inch overbore to 3.58 inches for 302.0 cubits (5001 cc). I understand that it takes a...
