    body molding..

    Some of my molding on my 1990 coupe I'm restoring is a little rough looking and feeling and I don't want to have to buy all new molding around. This is the molding that wraps the car... I'm going to be painting it white when I paint the car in the next few months. Is there any tips and tricks...

    gt40p

    Getting a set of gt40p's from a salvage yard tomorrow for $150 and had a few questions... Can these heads run a B303 with no spring upgrade? Do these use the same head bolts as the stock 5.0 heads?

    It has begun!

    Started stripping my 1990 Coupe down last week. It's a real 5.0 coupe too not a swap! :-) Right now the engines out and in lots of pieces! The block, crank, pistons, and some other parts are going over to the machine shop tomorrow to get checked out and reworked. Hopefully I can reuse these...

    lifters

    Nice, I'm picking up a set of gt40p's today. Do these work with both the stock intake and the intake manifold too?

    lifters

    Yeah, they look great. I was hoping to reuse these since they looked good. Didn't really care to drop $120 for a new set. That's $ that could be used elsewhere! ;-)

    lifters

    I'm in the middle of a rebuild and was curious if the roller lifters can be reused if they are in good shape? They look fine... Just curious if anyone else has reused them. I'm tossing in a B303 in place of the stock cam..

    2 questions....

    I've got my engine out of my coupe finally and was curious if anyone knew if those Federal Mongul engine rebuild kits that summit racing sells are worth $550. The one below is for a .30 bore. All I am looking to do is toss in a B303,gt40 heads, throttle body, and the other typical bolt ons...

    short block assembly

    Yeah... The only downfall is I would be losing my forged pistons from my original block. These blocks have alloy cast pistons... I wonder what the quality of parts they use are like in these reman blocks like this. My goal was to build an engine first and then drop it in to speed things up a...

    short block assembly

    Does anyone know if these short block assembly engines like this below are any good? If you do or know anyone that has experience with one I would love to know how they have held up. I'm just looking to replace my engine and toss in a B303 cam only... Mustangs Unlimited - The Premier...

    rear tire size

    What is the widest tire you can put on a 17x9 rim on 87-93 notch before trouble begins? I'm wanting something fat like a 315 on the or around that but I am concerned that it might rub or something.

    rebuild time...

    Yeah, I'm able to do everything myself with no problem. I'm just wanting to get it on the road around summertime. I've heard some good and bad things about those remand blocks.. Was just curious if anyone else has anything good or bad to say about them...

    rebuild time...

    Does anyone have an approx cost of what a basic rebuild should cost these days? What is the best way to go about this? Is it better to buy one of those rebuilt blocks from mustangs unlimted perhaps for $699, get my origianal heads reworked and just add the cam I wonder? Anyone have any...
