    Help with a used Intake Manifold

    If I remember correctly, aluminum CAN NOT be "hot tanked". Actually, I do not think that any non-ferrous (ferrous=iron content) items can be hot tanked. Good luck.

    Just curious what does a worn out Tranny feel like

    Most of the stock T5 I've driven usually feel nasty shifting into 3rd. I think it's from bent/stressed shift forks due to a lack of a possitive shift stop. Get an aftermarket shifter and see if that helps.

    My Cobra won't start, any ideas?

    Of course it won't start, it's in the middle of an intake upgrade! Anyway, I figured I'd share my latest project with all y'all. I'm stepping up a few components to maximize the potential of the Vortech. I had a reality slap at the Dyno recently; although I had decent RWHP and torque numbers...

    Once again, polished stuff, this time alternator

    Does any one know for certain what the material of the alternator cases is made of? Is it cast of aluminum or is it die cast zinc alloy? The reason I ask is that I machine a lot of aluminum parts, and subsequently do a lot of aluminum finishing. If these castings are infact aluminum and not zinc...

    Vortech s-trim discharge tube?!?!

    Sorry to jump in, new guy here... I've been following many of the threads regarding fox TB swap for the 94/95's. But they don't cover all of the mod's. Is there a comprehensive "how to" out there? I've got questions... What do you do with the EGR wiring? What about the AIC motor stuff? Like I...

    I heard this from a Shade Tree Mechanic... sound wierd, but it might work.

    I'd perform this experiment in some other neighborhood than my own. I once watched as someone poured a whole quart of straight ATF down the carb of a 70's ish 440 Fury at WOT in an atempt to revive the valve train. I've never seen so much white smoke, it looked like a blown head gasket. The...

    Why does the block split at high hp?

    Just my two cents here, but isn't the upfront investment for a Dart block worth it for the 4 bolt main and thicker casting/webs. We all kid ourselves that we won't punish our drivetrain, yet we do and end up looking for a new "seasoned block". Like I said, just my two cents.

    Can a stock 94 5.0 handle a blower

    Hey there, I've got a Vortech S-trim on a stock 95 Cobra engine, and it's been quite impressive. The weak link will be your stock pistons though. Make sure you get the ignition module and adjust your air/fuel to be sure it's not too lean. Preingnition and/or running lean will shatter the stock...

    GT just got T-boned! Now what?

    First off, understand that an insurance company's first rule is deny, deny, deny! If the adjuster does not make you an acceptable offer, demand to speek to their supervisor, or the supervisor's supervisor. Also, depending upon your situation, look into your (or your parents, etc)...

    Need inspection in NB, NE1 that won't hassle for blower and other mods??

    Hey there, sorry I don't know anyone in MA, but I'm in RI and am familiar with this drill. If anyone does have a solution for this thread don't post it here, please PM him! My buddy just lost his inspection certification for a similar situation. The people that enforce the laws read these...

    help white smoke???HELPPPPPP

    Just a thought, how about a bad injector stuck open? Check with a multimeter? Also, does your fuel pump shut off with the engine off and key on? I mean will it run to pressurize shut off then run agian to compensate for lost pressure...(ie) through a bad injector?

    Intake fit under stock hood?

    Hey there, incase this hasn't been answered yet... I've got a 95 Cobra convertible and...The intakes for the 94/95 and the previous year 5.0's are differerent. Atleast as far as the uppers go, I'm not certain on the lower. The 94/95's have that long bend in the casting. There is no EGR plate on...
