    stock pulley swap?

    F150's use 8 rib pulleys, so if you want to upgrade to an 8 rib setup, that would be a good way to go. Just order your blower pulley from reichart or procharger.

    How much does a 60,000 mile tune up cost for a 2004 Mach 1?

    As far as a tune up is concerned, changing the plugs and fuel filter along with the oil is about all that happens. As easy as changing plugs in a 2V is, a 4V is even easier. The check engine light is probably a O2 sensor. A dealership will charge a lot more than its worth for the tune up...

    anyone seen this intake manifold?

    Look, you got taken, could happen to any one, but it isn't all bad. You did get a 4V, so make the most of it. Here are some facts for you concerning the "B" style headed Mark VIII Intec engine. The Intec is built on an assembly line, the SVT is handbuilt and signature stamped. Both use the...

    '96 GT Vs. '96 Cobra fuel system

    Both cars use return style systems. The pump in the Cobra is the single 170lph unit, the GT has a single 110lph pump (the 98 got the cobra pump). Fuel lines are the same. The fuel rail on the GT actually flows more than the stock cobra rails and can support a little over 500rwhp. The GT...

    can i put MY BRAND NEW 6.8 liter v 10 in my 2002 GT

    The Boss 351 is the name of that Frankenstang that they did that article on years ago. They built the entire thing using the SVT Department's corporate credit card and kept it under the corporate radar. Yes, John Coletti could get away with that kind of stuff. It was no conventional V10...

    biggest 2v

    You can get the FRPP Boss 5.0 modular block for as little as $850 from Livernois performance. These blocks are good as is to 1600 HP and can easily be modified for more. With a set of 3.70" notched pistons and prepped heads/cams/intake/exhaust , a setup could make ridiculous power. Destroke...

    Ignition Key Switch Tumbler trouble

    So this is one of the few areas that I am pretty short on knowledge. Any help offered would be appreciated My keyswitch tumbler has decided to start breaking down on me. I almost got stranded and it took me twenty minutes of wiggling my key and torquing on the thing to get it to turn. For...

    how flippin dumb am i?

    I concur, you can't be held responsible for what this kid has done. Unless of course you do trade back, in which case you are taking full responsibility for his irresponsibility. If you guys signed over titles or have a legal bill of sale there is no way you should trade back, even if the car...

    What the heck??

    If it continues to happen and there doesn't seem to be a bad connection, its most likely the starter solenoid.

    A/C recharged full, pipe cold, air flow is cool*** but not COLD???

    Another thing to consider is the possibility that the orifice tube has become clogged or partially torn due to overcharging or too much a/c oil. Most of our cars have the OT built into the liquid line and you have to replace the entire liquid line. It's a dealer only item and runs about $65.

    PI or NPI What in the world

    Sorry, double post.

    PI or NPI What in the world

    If your oil fill is on the passenger side then you have Windsor heads, but not necessarily a PI engine or even PI heads. The coil packs could have been carried over by using the original harness, the heads don't care where the spark comes from so long as they get it. The front cover could have...

    A little intake help please

    Here's the thing, most of the bolt on intake items worked pretty good on the old 5.0. The parts developed a reputation before the 4.6 ever arrived. In order for the 4.6 to hit the same power as the 5.0, Ford gave it a free breathing intake system all the way to the throttle body. The 5.0 at...

    Comp Cams 262ah

    Regarding the MMFF article, they used a set of TEA fully ported heads with notched pistons in them. Comp's profiles work best in heads already ported. Their LSA and ICL are not ideal for stock heads. Give Nick at modular head shop a call and see what he can do for you. Don't get me wrong...

    another dumb question

    Racor does own a lot patents and has a lot of designs but by no means does fram=motorcraft. Just cut them open and check out the different types of filter media used in each of them. There is a very real reason why I would never put anything other than a motocraft or a WIX filter on my car.

    i need help

    Stock NPI motors peak at about 5100 RPM and then fall off big time. More so than what your procharger can overcome. Your motor may peak at 7PSI but you are probably well past the point where the engine is productive despite your boost. You are probably at only 5 psi at your power peak. You...

    Transmission Question

    Also, check your fire wall where the cable comes out, my firewall actually buckled behind the quadrant and screwed up the engagement spot on my clutch. I had to shim it with a wide washer to get it back to normal. But it might be as simple as your cable retainer slipping on your clutch's...

    another dumb question

    I don't think you should, your sig shows you have a built 5.0 stroker. You have a handbuilt and checked shortblock, not a "factory tolerance" robot built stock motor. Your motor is very likely built to tolerances that are 10 ten times more precise than a factory unit. If the shop that built...

    another dumb question

    The Service Notice I saw never said why. It occurrs to me though, Ford did a change from 5 to 6 quarts of oil, then later Ford issues the oil weight change. At the time I just thought that a lighter weight oil was a natural step when the 3V came out and both the tolerances got tighter than...
