    Progress Thread Komo's 1990 GT - Parts Gathering Purgatory & Home Remodel

    When i swapped to a tilt column, i replaced every pigtail available on or around the column and lights. I think all of them can be had, just depinned each one wire by wire and put the new ones in. Well worth it, pretty much all of them had loose wires from the clips being broken that hold...

    After Market fuel rails with Stock fuel lines

    Good choice. Look, when it comes to deals, a deal is only a deal if you can use it or flip it for significantly more money. I wouldn't even put them on a shelf, i'd just sell them on ebay or somewhere else and put the money towards something you do need.

    After Market fuel rails with Stock fuel lines

    Before we go much further, what exactly is your setup now and what is it going to be? Fuel system setups are expensive and if you aren't using a 4 bolt main block (boss, dart, R etc) there is no point in getting involved with a fuel system at all. The stock system will support 500+rwhp, which is...

    After Market fuel rails with Stock fuel lines

    You will need to make hoses to finish. Is there a particular reason you are doing this?

    Engine Suggestions on an engine rebuild. Stock cam/GT40Ps or aftermarket on both for a fun weekend driver?

    With costs these days, i struggle with idea of doing anything and not being as close to100% sure as possible about how it's done, for me it has to be as if the first time is the last time. I'm also no fan of pulling engines out, especially after just putting it in. A turbo is pretty much the...

    Engine Suggestions on an engine rebuild. Stock cam/GT40Ps or aftermarket on both for a fun weekend driver?

    If i'm reading this right, you do not currently have a running engine or one that is known to be 100%?

    Engine Another no start after washing engine bay

    Just start with the Cranks but no start checklist. Regardless of how or why the engine won't start, the same rules should apply. The only time i've personally seen water cause an issue is in the distributer, but as you suggested yours is covered.

    Drivetrain 6R80 to t56 swap

    You could also consider the TKX. Lighter, fits better and people rave about how well it shifts. I too agree, piece it together. I can't remember offhand, but i don't think you can add a clutch pedal to the auto pedal box. Looks like they have standalone clutch pedals, not sure how i feel about...

    Engine Radiator with no shroud provision... What to do?

    If you bought this new, i'd just return it. Honest question, do you really need a spare radiator? $500 seems like a lot to just throw on a shelf.

    Electrical electric mirror switch issue...

    https://stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/how-to-troubleshoot-power-mirror-switch.890122/ I had an issue with my mirrors a few years back. Use the jump wire method to see if the wiring is good.

    Suspension Harsh Ride

    You aren't going to get me to change course off the 200 or less treadwear designation, lol. My preference is 000 but there aren't many of them out there these days. I'm still trying to figure out if this isn't a daily driver how you are getting caught in the rain often enough that this is a...

    Suspension Harsh Ride

    The treadwear of 400 and the 45k warranty tell me that those tires most likely suck. Softer tires are better and nearly none of them come with a warranty. I used to consider it a victory to get to 5,000 miles. If this isn't your daily driver, i'd just avoid the rain. Goto tirerack, input your...

    Suspension Harsh Ride

    A 255 is a lot of tire for a 7inch wheel. I remember we used to run bfg drag radials back in the day that size, there was quite a bit of bulging. Looks even worse on 16 inch wheels that landed up with a taller sidewall. Probably why you ate the middle up. Then again drag radials aren't good...

    Suspension Harsh Ride

    Smaller tire sizes are disappearing from all brands at this point. Even 18's are small by modern standards. Tirerack has the same rears you have now, if you like them why are you changing them to something different? You probably aren't going to do much better. I need 275/35/18, they have the...

    Suspension Harsh Ride

    You switch from nitto drag radials to all season tires and i can pretty much guarantee you are going to be unhappy. If you want to keep it brand inclusive maybe try the G force rival. Just be careful there are two models, one is rated the other isn't. I'm going to guess the unrated model is...

    Clearance

    Looks like those heads were designed to clear, but you always have to check. I also would not be using those heads with an F cam. Only do this once, use a custom cam with them. It's not like you are using a $200 set of gt40p heads.

    Came across an amazing combo, today

    I think before anyone talks about changing gear ratios they should make their final tire choices. I have run nothing but drag radials for the last 20+ years with 3.73s. My car makes quite a bit of low end and when they are warm, they do just fine. If you sort by treadwear on tirerack, just look...

    Fuel ebay fuel pumps

    What is even worse in this situation is the guy is installing a supercharger and his biggest concern is getting the pump on sale for $99 even if it's not the right pump. Where I prefer to find the right part, then look for the best price on that particular part. I read some of his other posts...

    Anyone Extrude Hone or Flow Bench Speed Pro Heads?

    It's only a year, lol, we've see and done worse. Sometimes i read through the posts and the similar ones are underneath and i click on them for curiosity never really looking at the dates.
