    Swapping to GT-40 Style intake from stock

    you'll need to use an aftermarket elbow for 94-95s, unless you switch to a fox style tb setup, then it can be used elbow-less :nice: I know you said you have a cobra hood, but just wondering if anyone knows whether or not this intake clears the stock sn95 hood?

    335 hp australian 5.6 strokers?

    I found this on wikipedia the other day, wondering if anyone has ever heard of it before? :shrug: "Ford Australia also built stroked, 5.6 L (≈342 cu in) Windsors. With reworked GT40P heads (featuring larger valves), a unique eight trumpet inlet manifold, long throw crank, H beam rods and...

    Good deal for these used bolt-ons?

    I know that, read the original post though, after I add heads (ported P's or used aluminums) and a cam the 24's will be useful, trying to plan ahead. 5L5 i totally agree, im not a fan of craigslisters who try to pull the "well it cost me blahblahblah new!" card... the reason people buy used...

    Good deal for these used bolt-ons?

    I asked the other day, it is a genuine one. I figured $600 was fair, offered it yesterday but he came back saying $800 is as low as he wants to go... says you'd pay 1600 for everything new :rolleyes: Think I might have to pass this one up, which sucks because the guy lives 10 minutes away and...

    Good deal for these used bolt-ons?

    Hey guys, looking for a few opinions 1) I found a set of used parts on craigslist in my hometown, and figured they would be a nice addition to my stock 5.0. Polished SVT Cobra intake, Polished Edelbrock 70mm TB, Accel 24lbs injectors and a Pro-M 75mm MAF. The guy says the lowest he'd like to...

    Do our cars have a low fuel warning light?

    yup, no light.. found this out the hard way one time coming home from work at 11 pm.. (thought process was something like this.. oh the tank is getting pretty low but ford guages tend to be inaccurate, and the low fuel light isnt on yet so ill be ok) :owned:

    Post pics: ***lazer RED 94-98 GTs**

    heres mine, I'm looking to do a drop and some '03 cobras to replace the 18s that came on the car when I bought it (in the pics), but again.. its hard to justify the money spent when Id like to give the engine some attention :rolleyes:

    Steep rear end gears (4.10s) compensated by replacing overdrive in a T5?

    I could see how you could get used to the 4th to 5th shift, just like any other mod. A t56 is out of the question for me cost wise, but a better overdrive 5th cog seems feasible. I don't think Id miss my current 5th too much, its not like its used very often in town, and is mainly just for...

    Steep rear end gears (4.10s) compensated by replacing overdrive in a T5?

    Nice, thats exactly what I had in mind. The only downfall I could imagine would be the jump from 4th gear to 5th gear would cause bogging. How is it?

    Steep rear end gears (4.10s) compensated by replacing overdrive in a T5?

    I had a thought today, would it be feasible to have steep rear end gears for good around-town acceleration and then replace 5th gear in the tranny with a stronger overdrive to maintain highway cruising? I dont think Ive seen this done before, but it sort of makes sense :shrug:

    Fox body craving?

    Well, since talk has been a little on the low side around here I thought Id take the liberty of starting up a little discussion :SNSign: Do you guys ever find yourself yearning for a fox body..? Personally, Ive been aquiring a taste for nice black notchbacks.. theres just such an appeal about...

    Anyone here smoke hookah?

    Shisha is alot of fun, more of a relaxing social thing, its hard to understand unless you've tried it. It is not beneficial to your health by any means, but neither is any use of recreational substances. The difference between shisha and cigarettes is one is an occasional treat and one is an...

    Exhaust for the girlfriend's car

    Hey guys, my girlfriend recently got a 2001 v6 convertible (gotta love a girl who likes her stangs :nice:) but she always talks about how she wishes it would sound more like mine (Ive got a '95 5.0 with an o/rH and 40 series ;)) Im thinking of getting her a replacement catback for her stocker...

    Used forged 306 shortblock vs. re-ringing the stocker

    What would it cost to have a shop rebuild my bottom end/ hone to a 306? Ill essentially have just what I started with except it wont burn oil. The reason I'm looking at the forged bottom is because it will give me the ability to run a blower down the road if I like (I dont want to start the "you...

    Used forged 306 shortblock vs. re-ringing the stocker

    My 5.0 is burning oil and its most likely a ring issue. Its not too bad, about a quart every 900 kms, but Im going to want to remedy it sooner or later because it bothers me (Im also uncomfortable modding a motor like this). I could probably simply re-ring my current motor and call it a day, its...

    Just got a dual 12" setup with a 600w amp for free, need opinions

    Long story short, my friend gave me a dual 12" sub setup in a ported box with a 600 watt amp for free. It came with his '98 civic that he bought, but it wasn't hooked up and he didnt feel like getting it working. Heres a few pics of it, the subs are kicker but Im unsure of the model. Its pretty...

    Oil consumption.. compression test results.. help!

    my dad picked up some rislone, he says it might be worth a try to free carbon-seized rings. Anyone have any experience with it? Its been around for a long time. I was also wondering if I could run a 20-50 oil in my 5.0 to try and slow down the blowby.

    Need more bass... new speakers or add a sub?

    how well does the sound transfer from the trunk to the cabin in a vert? A sub + stock speakers will be better for me than no sub + aftermarket speakers?
