    C&L Mass Air Compared to Pro-M

    I have a 331 with a c&l 76mm meter with 30 lb injectors with a stock computer with no drivability issues. It drives great and idles nice with the XE274HR. I will be switch to a pro-m 80mm soon, not because I don't like the c&l, I also have one on my 03 Mach1, but because I am going to be...

    Deleted heater, need some help.

    At a closer look, I think you are right 90mustangGT, they do look like they are bonded in there. I will try and figure something out. Thanks for your help.

    Deleted heater, need some help.

    I already relocated the sensor to where the black tube was with a 1/2-3/8 npt reducer, so that is taken care of already. I just wanted to get rid of the metal line that comes out of the water pump and put a brass plug in it so you never knew that line was ever in the water pump. I did a...

    Deleted heater, need some help.

    I just finished ripping out the heater in my 88, and I was wondering it the metal tubes that come out of the water pump one runs to the heater hard lines, and the other to the t-stat housing can be removed out of the water pump. I deleted the heater hard lines that run to the heater core, and I...

    Pro. 5 vs. MGW Shifter

    I just installed the MGW in my 03 Mach 1, and its great. I have a pro 5.0 in my 88, and if feels sloppy compaired to the MGW. I hate the pro 5.0 in my 88 now that I have been driving around with the MGW. I will be tossing out my pro 5.0 very soon, and replacing it with a MGW. IMHO, it is...

    To spool or not to spool?

    Thanks guys. I did a search, probably should have done that first, my bad :D , and there is a lot of concoversy(sp?) on this subjuct, about 50/50 for and against a spool in a car that is driven even a little on the street. I think I might give it a try with some 31 spline axles, and 4.30...

    To spool or not to spool?

    Hey guys, I am going to be rebuilding my rearend soon, and I was going to just go with a rebuilt f-150 trac lock, but I was thinking, I rarely drive my car on the street, maybe 20 miles a month just crusing to the local hang out if that. I was wondering if I should just put a spool in it...

    02 GT idles high, and returns to normal slow

    I don't think he has tried that, how do you do that? I told him it is probably his IAC, but I guess it could also be a vaccum leak. Any more help would be great. Thanks

    02 GT idles high, and returns to normal slow

    A friend of mine just installed a C&L cold air kit with the 80mm mass air, 75mm tb, and the plenum. He also said that he installed the hypertech programer as well. He is having a problem with the car idling high at first about 1500rpm, and taking a long time to come down. He said it is doing...

    Mach 1 Bought A Mach 1

    Yea I think I am going to put the gears in, I have not heard anything about weak axles in the mach, my 88 has stock 28 spline 5 lug axles with 425fwhp, and no problems yet. I will have to check into that. Well I thought I would share some pics. Thanks.

    Mach 1 Bought A Mach 1

    Thanks guys, I love this car, but the wife and I fight on who gets to drive it, but I did tell her it was her Christmas present so I could get it :D . It does feel sluggish down low, but when you get to about 4600 rpm, it changes to a different car. I am still not sure about the mods I am...

    Mach 1 Bought A Mach 1

    Well I got a new job, and I don't have to travel 65 miles to work everyday, so I decided to trade in my ford focus. I was looking for a 99 cobra, but I ran into a Dark Showdow Gray Metallic (my favorite mustang color) 03 Mach 1 for 19,800 with 24k miles. Me and my wife took the car for a long...

    Mach 1 Price drop

    I just bought my Mach 1 on Thursday, a dark showdow gray 03 with 24,000 miles for 19,800. To bad I was upside down a lot on my ford focus, but I still have a smile from ear to ear. This car is fun to drive. Good Luck.

    Manual Rack Swap?

    I don't really like driving the car with no swaybar either, but I don't want to bolt 30+ pounds back onto the nose of the car. I will probably order a tubular k member. Should of did that when I dropped in the new motor.

    Manual Rack Swap?

    302ci, or 302ci Long rod?

    Hey guys, I just wanted to know if someone could explain to me the differance between a standard 302, and a long rod 302. What would be the benefit of building a long rod motor? Is the complete rotating assembaly different, or just the rods. If it is all different, it probably would be...

    How easy is it to swap fuel pump ?

    Just cut a hole in your trunk over your fuel pump, that what I did, and i can change a fuel pump in less then 10 minutes. I used a jig saw, and cut a square hole, I was careful and took my time so I would not cut anything, and covered the hole up with the carpet and battery box. You can't even...
