    Will this Power Pipe Fit?

    Hey guys, I found an ad for this power pipe, for some reason it seems to me that it looks a little bit different from other power pipes that I've seen . . . It's advertised as fitting 86-93, does anyone think I'd have any problems getting it to fit? BTW I've got a non-HO that will soon have...

    Firing Order

    That sucks this thing probably doesn't have forged internals . . . no blower in my near future then, oh well . . I just won an E303 on ebay, also I'm about to win some 19lb. injectors for a dollar, my explorer intake is on its way, I just need to order a timing chain and gears, and a MAF and TB...

    Firing Order

    Hey guys, I've got a non-HO (probably crown vic) 5.0 in my car, and I'm told that the firing order is different than from the HO motors . . . I'm doing a h/c/i swap, but will I have any issues with running the e303 in my motor? It has the same crank as the HO motor, so I'm not sure why the...

    Upgrade Questions . . .

    I know that the firing order is different; apparently, all the roller cam 5.0 motors had 6.25" pushrods, and thats what's in my car so I guess all I have to do is drop the new cam in . . .

    Upgrade Questions . . .

    I just found out that I have an A9p computer in my car, which is apparently intended for a non-california MAF 5.0 with an AUTOMATIC; I have a 5speed, will this affect performance? Also, the computer was throwing a code for the MAP sensor, which I believe my car isn't supposed to have . . . not...

    Upgrade Questions . . .

    Hey guys, Just a few questions about my build: I'm doing a H/C/I swap on my '89 non-HO crown vic motor and I'm curious about a few things. I recently bought some rebuilt E7's ($40!) and had them mildly ported (basically just had my local shop take the bump out of the exhaust ports and clean...

    To port or not to Port . . .

    The stock cam in my case wouldn't be any good; I've got a non-HO 5.0 (I think from a crown vic). Also, I'm curious as to what I should do as far as upgrading the valves, springs, rockers etc., and if it makes any sense to do so for my setup. I thought that I've seen people with E7s into the...

    To port or not to Port . . .

    Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out which direction I should go in with my build; I'm out on spring break and I finally have a little bit of money to throw at my car, so if I can do anything I want to get it done by the end of this week. I've got a non-HO 5.0 motor in my '89 LX, and I was...

    I could be way off base here, but I was assuming that it has a crown vic computer because I read somewhere that the '89s don't have a MAP sensor, or at least don't have it on the firewall like mine does. Also, I thought that the main difference between the crappy EFI on my car and MFI was in the...

    I don't think my belts are supposed to be doing this . . .

    Well the water pump has definitely been replaced; it seems only slightly off though, as the belt (solid-ribbed serpentine) rubs itself between the grooves. It must have been like this since before I bought the car 3k miles ago, but I'm sure it'll give eventually so I've got to address it. Thanks...

    Unfortunately there's more to it than that . . . I'm pretty sure that my car has the crown vic computer along with the crappy EFI, may as well just save myself the trouble of upgrading all that stuff and convert to a carb, so the only thing I could use off the exploder is the heads and...

    LOL . . . I'm not talking about "fast old guys," just the older guys that can afford the nice (by nice I mean fast) cars and never let the cars see more than 25% of their true performance potential. Cutting loose is cutting loose, it doesn't have to mean 100%, and from years of riding sportbikes...

    I don't think my belts are supposed to be doing this . . .

    Well that sucks, I was kind hoping not to have to replace anything; oh well. I guess I may as well disconnect the smog pump while I'm at it, do you know if I need anything else to do that? or can I just take it off the belt and plug some holes? I guess I'll try searching for this info. . .

    I could probably come up w/ the money for the exploder, maybe, but I certainly couldn't afford to rebuild the motor, I'd just take the heads and intake and sell whatever else I could off of it to try and recoup my investment. The mileage concerns me because I'm assuming I'd probably have to have...

    It seems to me (but then again I'm no honda expert) that it's a helluva lot cheaper to build/buy a 12second mustang (or most any v8 for that matter) than to do it with a civic/integra/whatever. I almost wonder if swapping in a V8 would be cheaper too? Either way it would be funny to see the...

    I don't think my belts are supposed to be doing this . . .

    Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me considering that half of the car is mickey-moused up. I'll try and get pics up later, but like I said the belt is rubbing itself right on top of the water pump pulley and the adjuster is a bit out of range, but the belt seems too new to be stretched much, makes...
