    Hypereutectics and 12lbs of boost?

    I would think you would be really pushing your luck. If your tune was even slightly off I bet it would go wrong real fast.

    Electrical Gauges, Mechanical Gauges, I need help deciding please.

    I like mechanical myself. I believe they react quicker and are more accurate but that could probably be argued. I absolutely dont like the short sweep that you get with most electrical guages so mechanical have the extra advantage of being affordable compared to the way overpriced full sweep...

    Are these good tires? Good price?

    I have used those several years ago. They weren't worth a **** in rain.

    Disappointment at the dyno: 227 rwhp with afr165's and custom cam

    First thing is that if you were expecting 400hp out of that combo, you set yourself up for dissapointment from the get go. For one thing, I will take issue with the fact that they claim they got 278 hp out of a bone stock 5.0 even through the stock headers with only the addition of the Stealth...

    4 cyl. to v8 swap what wiring

    I just extend them for carbed 5.0 swaps. If memory serves, the alternator wiring isnt in the main engine harness but in the harness that has your headlight wiring. You would have to swap that too if you didnt want to extend the alt wires. The connectors from a 4cyl alt to a v8 is the same though.

    swapping out stock aod for a c4

    There were several variations of the C4 so you need to make sure you match everything up. Mainly the bellhousing, flexplate and stall need to match. The one I have found to fit best in a fox is the 157t version. Ford never used a 157t flexplate on a 5.0 so you will need an aftermarket...

    what trans in 81 2.3

    Trying to figure out what auto trans would have come in an 81 behind a 2.3. Just looking down there it looks like a c4 because of the removable bellhousing but it also looks like it might have a connector I have never niticed on a C4.

    C-4 or AOD

    Yes and no but mostly no. Technically the AOD flexplate will work if you are using a 164t bellhousing on the C4. Problem is that I have found the big bell to have clearance issues in a Foxstang. I tried it once and it hit the H-pipe and there was no way O2 sensors would have fit if I had...

    Any lawyers in here? Tailgating-

    Taking legal advice off the interweb is likely to turn out as well as a self performed labotomy....but I will throw in my .02 anyway. My legal experience comes mostly from all the tickets I got back in my stupid younger days and to a lesser extent that my father is a lawyer. I don't know about...

    What cam is this?

    I have had several E303 cams and all had E303 stamped right into the back. This holds true for every other alphabet cam I have had.

    BBK Off Road H-pipe Two Pieces? WTF?

    What I generally do is to clamp the last inch or so of the tube in a vice and squeeze it flat. Then I run a bead of weld to seal it. But if you dont have a welder, I have also squeezed it then folded it and squeezed it again and had no leak.

    Replacing/Fixing air bag... is it possible?

    Talk about thread resurection. I think that box is near the center console on the driver side under the dash but I could be wrong. ...and that is bunk info. Just make sure to disconnect the battery 20 minutes or so before attempting to remove it and you will be fine. 4 10mm nuts on the...

    turbo coupe rear disc on a mustang rear

    The housing is actually the same as the mustang one with the exception of where the quad shock holes are. You can use the TC axles and brakes on the stang housing but then it will be 3/4" wider on either side. Other options are to keep the stock length axles and get the offset brackets that...

    Cam suggestions

    I have run an E cam with 1.72 rr's with no problems on a stock short block. There may be some combos it wont work on but most will probably be fine.

    any with 4.0 knowledge - sporttrac issue

    yes I realize this isnt a 5.0 question but I also know some of you guys have dailer driver explorers so hopefully someone can help. I think this is an easy one. I need to change the oil guage sending unit on my sport-trac but I'm not positive where it is. There are 2 sensors that appear to be...
