    Emission(s) State People School Me

    Here in Colorado (Denver metro area only) we have two types of test. Newer cars are put on roller kinda like a chassis dyno and tested under simulated driving as well as at idle. Older cars (not sure but I think the cutoff year is 1988) just have a tailpipe test at idle and 2500RPM. Both are...

    03 cobra throttlebody on 96 cobra ???

    Stock 96 setup is twin 57mm throttle body, actually flows pretty good so I don't think a bigger one will show much gain unless you have other mods.

    Winter Tires???

    I am happy with Blizzaks here in Colorado, just leave them on all winter since snow is unpredictable here. I had Goodyear Eagles, not as good as those, but they were like baloney skins for traction in snow or rain.

    Engine Ratings

    I would recomend "How To Build Max-Performance 4.6-Liter Ford Engines" by Sean Hyland. This book goes into all of the strenths and weaknesses of the mod motors, and tells you what parts to upgrade for certain power levels or types of racing. Planning your engine build ahead can save tons of...

    Why are non-pushrod modular motors so noisy?

    The cylinder bores on the 4.6 are kinda short so when the piston is at the bottom of the stroke it is not supported very well, can allow some "piston slap" noise when the engine is cold. That is also why a stroker crank does not increase displacement very much-if the stroke gets much longer it...

    Smog delete, 97 Cobra?

    Cons-you cannot license your car in an emissons area, cannot sell it there (here in Colorado the seller is financially liable for emission test failure), and if the area you live in becomes an emission test area you are stuck. Test areas are growing, not shrinking as new EPA limits are causing...

    Getting a new 331 stang for 500 bucks! need head gasket help

    Besides checking the heads I would check that the deck surface on the block is flat. That way you won't have it all back together and discover it blows out the new head gasket. Great deal on the car, should clean up nice.

    Thing that fell off is probably you charcoal canister, need it if you have emission testing there or if you don't replace it plug the line so you don't have a vacuum leak

    Never done this on my own...help?

    Do it safely! You will need to borrow or buy jackstands and a floor jack, that little jack in the trunk won't do it. Had a car fall off the jack once and it scared me good.

    I need some help!

    I would get a 5-speed, an add on overdrive is way more expensive. I am glad you are driving your Mustang, too many fun cars are stuck away in storage!

    Considering a 1987 mustang gt I need advice

    I would also check the trunk for spare tire and jack. Had a guy cheat me out of those before and you can check for rust at the same time.
