    Ready to buy a rice burner.......Not Really just need help!!!!!

    I'm not trying to hijack a thread or even promote another site but have you tried Stangbangers out of Cincy? I think they're actually located either in Beechmont or Eastgate, I cant' remember where my brother told me they are out of. He's talked to a few of those guys, he lives just off of 32...

    switching to manual steering?

    I'm really not too worried bout the parking lot driving, especially since 5.0's have the built in cup holders right by the e-brake. Like I said just general daily driving nothing too hard the occasional country back road that winds just a little bit. I've just been neglecting this car for too...

    switching to manual steering?

    Yeah I still have AC on the car, Plan on keeping too as summer's in the midsouth ain't much especially since I'm originally from Ohio where summer's are much more mild. As for daily driveability how has yours been affected? Is it that bad to drive everyday, my wife's 65 drives great but the...

    switching to manual steering?

    Has anyone else done this? Does anyone make a belt re-routing system to eliminate the power steering pump? If you have done this on your cars, would you recommend it for a daily driver? I'm wanting to drive my 92 more since Expedition is such a gas hog.

    Bolt on Cowl Induction scoop

    I'm sure you've already purchased something for your car, but you may want to look at the scoop used on the 79-82 Mustangs. Not the front opening scoop but the one on the 79 - 80 Cobras specifically I think it's as wide as the high point on the II's hood and creates a nice cowl rise on the car...

    So close to putting in a bid!

    who says you can't legally drive with laughing gas hooked up? But I seriously doubt any state is gonna put nitrous on any of their service vehicles. They would be blowing the heads off the motors constantly.

    95 Mustang V6 in a II

    I think I heard once that a 300 would bolt directly up in place of a 302. Someone else here may know for sure, I know of people that would swear by that 300 I6 though. As to reference to a 4bbl carb intake a for the 4.0 it's a shame it's a setup for a OHV motor instead of the SOHC. Plus for $500...

    95 Mustang V6 in a II

    what I'm mostly wondering is if the 3.8 motor mount points are the same for a 302? If they are then what I'm thinking is using mostly V8 parts to drop it in, and of course depending on where those mounts are located on the block headers may be considering for an install as well as a non II...

    95 Mustang V6 in a II

    How soon do you think you would get started on this project? I've got a T-top that's ready for a powertrain, and I'm wanting to do something besides a 302 in it. I'd greatly appreciate someone else's hands on knowledge versus theoretical knowledge when it comes to diving into an odd engine/body...

    95 Mustang V6 in a II

    You reckon dude you got the car from knows he's gonna have to get a new K-member for his car to drop in a 5.0? From what I've read, the 3.8 used a different K-member than the 4popper and V8 cars, thus the reason for dropping it going into 87

    95 Mustang V6 in a II

    I had previously dropped a thread in the V6 forums asking about a carb type intake for the 4.0. If that were an option that would be awesome, but I didn't get much there and I even googled it, with no luck. Ideally I'd like to pick up a 4.0 with the tranny and drop into a II. Since my T-top...

    95 Mustang V6 in a II

    alright I'm pulling this thread back up to date. Since I have an expedition that gets horrible gas mileage and 2 of my II's have 302's. Anyway I got questions, does the 2.8 in the II's have a front sump pan? I can't find my haynes manual so I got nothing to look at here that would tell me...

    Ford dropping V8s for the Mustang?

    That was great link to autosavant. The thing for us enthusiast to think about here is it's basically where Ford was looking forward enough to make changes, that would allow to remain as players in the market. Much like they did in the early 70's with the Mustang II. They kept some styling cues...

    Ford dropping V8s for the Mustang?

    The sad thing about the SUV/Pickup hybrids from GM is 1. the price, and 2. they're still so heavy that 20mpg isn't that impressive to me for a hybrid vehicle. Yes the $24K Toyota Prius is a grand idea on paper but, I'm still enough of a gearhead if I'm gonna spend over $20k for a car I want to...

    Ford dropping V8s for the Mustang?

    You guys also need to remember the newest rendition of the F150 isn't available with a V6 ( the one that just got introed at Detroit) Though there isn't much difference between the mpg of a 4.2 versus that of the 5.4, as mentioned before things can be done by the manufacturer that would make gas...

    95 Mustang V6 in a II

    You're a putz 98Clone, hehe, J/K. Just go ahead and pull the 3.8 out of your convertible and drop in my T-top since you don't have anything to do but play in the snow with your chick, hehe. I'll give you one of those Clevelands I got and let you rebuild it and slap in your vert, hehe. HOLLA

    Carburetor on a 4.0???

    It's an idea I've been kicking around ever since I found out the 4.0 was the newer version of the 2.8 in the II's. I've got a T-top stang with no motor and tranny at the moment, and I've considered the swap, but as mentioned above if a stand alone computer could be installed that would handle...
