    Paint and Body 2014 s197 mustang Tail light

    No the rear bumper fascias were different on the '13-14 cars, the older lights don't fit correctly.

    2007 3v cam options

    The Comp XFI's (their Stage 1 and Stage 2) aren't as heavy on the overlap as some of the others so you might be able to get away with no tune on those, but I'd be surprised. A tune would get the most out of it, the 93 octane tune on a bone stock engine is good for 20-25 hp.

    2007 3v cam options

    You definitely need a tune, the car might run with the cams and no tune but most likely it will run like crap and have a bouncing idle. It's also recommended to do charge motion deletes with cams but I don't think it's absolutely necessary, and the best gains with cams come from using them with...

    Engine 2006 mustang gt

    When you changed the phaser out, you did turn the engine to TDC and lock the chain with a wedge tool or something similar, right?

    Can you not just remove the scoop?

    Alloy or Anthracite ??

    Anthracite just refers to the paint or powdercoat color applied to the wheels, they're still alloys. Sounds to me like the clearcoat on your wheels is failing, the only fix for that is refinishing or replacement.

    2006 gt dorman driveshaft square at both ends in stock photos everywhere

    I'm pretty sure the cheaper aluminum driveshaft on AM is only made to use with a T56 Magnum (6 speed) swap. The one that works with the stock transmissons is $800.

    2006 gt dorman driveshaft square at both ends in stock photos everywhere

    That seems odd to me, but yes it's pretty common. My Thunderbird had a square flange like that and so did my old Ranger.

    2006 gt dorman driveshaft square at both ends in stock photos everywhere

    A stock photo is just that- a stock photo, so you can't go by that at all. Regardless...many driveshafts are like that at the rear axle. The diff has a round flange with threaded holes in it, the driveshaft has a square cast end that bolts to the flange. There is no opening into the diff. Most...

    First time S197 owner here

    Welcome! Read up on the plug change if you haven't already, it's quite a job. There's a good chance it still has the original plugs since the factory ones are rated for 100K miles.

    Should 2005 year be avoided?

    I don't know of any 2005-specific issues honestly, especially with the V6.

    New to the forum looking for info on a 2007 California Special

    Looks like a real California Special to me, someone removed the door decals for some reason and that is a GT500 style spoiler. I guess they got a good deal on one in the wrong color. But it has the right front and rear bumper fascia.

    2009 GT Build

    How long do you plan to keep the car? I wouldn't spend a bunch on it if you aren't keeping it long term. Really you don't need to throw that much money at the suspension all at once. I would do 1.5" all around with BMR's springs, they are a great riding spring and the resulting rake is pretty...

    Should I Buy this mustang gt

    Well 157K is a lot of miles...can't say what might need replaced just looking at pictures. You'll have to go check it out and see. $4K isn't too bad though, looks like it will need some cosmetic work inside and outside. I'd be wondering if the plugs have been replaced, '06 had the 2 piece plugs...

    2010 Cat back drone - advice

    Well, it would help to know what's on it now, got any pics?

    What do you think

    For what it costs to have it done, no it's not worth it. Stock 3V heads flow very well as-cast, and just a port & polish on your own heads costs over $1000. I'm not even sure if you can get the FRPP ported heads anymore but they were $1000 per side.

    What do you think

    Well they fed you a little misinformation...SPR cams only offer marginal gains over NSR cams especially on stock heads- not to mention that you can max out a factory engine's horsepower limit with a supercharger and no other mods at all. They're really only useful if you want to rev it sky high...

    What do you think

    Why did you do springs-required cams? There are lots of good NSR (no springs required) cams out there that offer essentially the same power gains. I did my NSR cams a couple years ago, first time I had ever touched cams in a modular, took me about 4 hours start to finish.

    Will a 2011 Mustang GT exhaust fit a 2006 mustang v6?

    You may have to cut the pipes before the axle to get them into the car. They are so long they pretty much have to either be cut or be installed on a lift. At any rate, it's the same chassis so I would think they would fit, otherwise.
