    Need Help With 3G Swap, Please!

    Hey everyone I just wanted to say thanks in helping me sort out this problem, as it has been resolved. It was a bad rebuilt alternator right out of the box. I took a warranty credit on that unit and bought a brand new one with no problems so far. I changed the 200 amp breaker to a 150 buss...

    Need Help With 3G Swap, Please!

    It was a new alternator, and everything went perfectly fine for about 15-20 minutes. After some "spirited" driving everything went dim and it stopped charging. It didn't hurt anything because I used the 200 amp breaker in between the alt and battery. It worked, but melted down in the process...

    Need Help With 3G Swap, Please!

    Hey guys I just did the swap, it ran fine for about 15 minutes, I then took it for a test drive and got on it really hard. The lights went dim, volt gauge dropped to nothing. I limped it home and found the alternator to read 21.5 volts at the hot post and the tester said bad diode. This is a...

    vw's bashin the stang

    As I've stated before, sohc 4.6's are just flat out hard to improve upon without major mods. I put down 203 hp with a stock auto on a mustang dyno, in good running condition. Add this to the additional weight of the sn95 "new edge" body and you have a combination for a not so impressive car.

    anyone run MEGA SQUIRT?

    We run it on our 86 347. It's very consistent and has several adjustments you can make while driving/ monitoring everything. We used the stock comp and built our own harness.

    Transmission...what to do?

    I read an article which explained that t5z's were rated at 330 hp to 100,000 miles easily capable of handling much more abuse with a slightly shorter lifespan. I'm gonna go with the z and rebuild it myself.

    My car sounds like a 747 on take off...HELP!!

    try cruising at a sustained speed in second, then shift to third, fourth, fifth and see if the whine goes away completely in a certain gear or just slowly fades out with each shift. If you can push the clutch in and the noise goes away that does not necessarily mean the problem isn't the...
