    Proform center body.....worth it?

    I have been thinking about getting one mainly because of the screw in air bleeds but 780 is too much carb for my combo. I wish they mad it in something like a 650. Would be a no brainer to me. Free bump I guess, cant answer your question since I dont have one

    Advantages Of Smog Delete?

    Never seen a "noticable" power gain from deleting the smog pump myself. The only advantage to me is cleaning up the engine bay some. If I ran cats I would probably keep it, especially if I lived in a state with any kind of inspections.

    looking for a turbo motor?

    Don't imagine that it would be at all cost effective to ship. But if anybody else is interested, I just lowered my price to $400. Im loosing my ass at this price but I need it out of my garage.

    Crown Vic/Grand Marquis 5.0 lower the same as Mustang 5.0 lower?

    I believe they are the same and I also think the upper is the same as an 86GT. Wouldnt swear to it though.

    86 to 89 nose swap

    I just completed this exact swap so I have a little more insight on this. Red_LX asked about the inner bumper...the 86 has turnsignal lights in the bumper and they are actually mounted into the metal bumper not the neoprene nose piece. I enexpectedly found that the bumper mounts from the...

    tuning a demon carb

    Cant say that I actually have any experience with deamon carbs so Im basically talking out of my ass here but I believe that changine the air bleeds on those can have quite an affect on idle mixture. Cant be of any specific help but that might give you something to research.

    Engine Swap Questions

    You wont be needing the fascia for the EFI swap. Of course I am being a smart ass but it allways amazes me when someone wants to replace a four eye with an aero nose. In case you would have any intrest....I have an 86GT that I am parting. 5.0 harness, computer etc.

    Why cant I use my stock fuel pump?

    I personally think its easier to use an electric pump. You will need to change the pickup and lines either way. The electrical is easy as installing a relay in the kickpanel and then you can wire the electric pump to the factory wires and retain the inertia switch. I also like to wire in an...

    help with 5 lug conversion and more

    Im a bit confused as well. If the rear was like a TC rear it would be 4lug. Didnt know any cougers came with 5 lug and disc brake. For the front, I imagine the easiest thing to do would be to use spindles off one of the 5.0 stangs and run the lincoln rotors and 73mm calipers as well. Dont...

    Rack and Pinion GURU's help school me!!

    I researched this awhile back and I think I had come up with that the TRW rack was used on SVO's or 93 Cobras or something. I have replaced 3 or 4 and they have always had Ford racks. What I did was have the parts place order in all options and then spun the steering shaft from lock to lock...

    I am actually in the process of doing the same thing. I am transplanting 86GT parts onto my 92LX. The fenders are the same up to 90 but beyond thatm the lower fender extensions wont bolt up. I am goint to see if I can just redrill the mounting holes and retain my 92 fenders but I havnt gotten...

    T5 to C4 Conversion....help...

    I agree on the crossmember. I ground the welds (stock T5 crossmember) and slid it all the way forward on the tubes to install the C4, so that 1" setback will be fine. I used the stock driveshaft out of a V8/T5 car and I imagine you will have 1" to play with but if not, you might have to have...

    Anyone ever converted a Turbo Coupe rear to 5 lug?

    If you are wanting to keep it the same lenth as a TC rear, I would imagine you can just use SN95 axles since they are the same as the TC axles but 5-lug. Then I would think that you could prbably redrill or pay a machine shop to redrill the rotors. All the circle track guys I work with redrill...

    help me pick a C4 Hurst shifter

    I have always been a fan of the Quarter Stick. Never used one in a Mustang but had em in plenty of old Chevy's. It will keep women from wanting to drive your car too because they cant figure out the reverse lockout. I have used the Mega shifter, V-matic and star shifters before also and those...

    looking for a turbo motor?

    I'm selling my 88 Turbo Coupe motor that I bought to swap into my 92notch. Decided to go another so now I need to sell it. I have already collected all the parts so this should be everything needed to swap into a 2.3 fox with the exception of the IC tubing. In addition to the motor is an LA3...
