    5.4 3v head interchange

    I have an 06 Navigator, 5.4, with 3v head. The rear spark plug is busted. Took it to a shop, they pulled the head, said it needed to be replaced. Would be fine with that, but it’s been about 8 weeks since I dropped it off. Excuse after excuse… If I go pick it up, and the head really is toast...

    Team-Z Setup in 1990 Mustang GT

    I'm getting frustrated, so this is my 'phone a friend'... The car is a 1990 GT, originally 5.0, with a t5. Around 2000, I converted to 5lug Cobra brakes, using (as best I can recall)... 95 Mustang spindle, 95 Mustang control arms, 13" rotors, dual piston Cobra caliper, and the rear end was...

    Hatch Lock Retainer?

    What am I missing here? My Ford book shows a different style retainer clip, compared to what I can find available. I can’t seem to find the style of clip that is shown in the Ford book? The eBay pic seems to be what all the kits have?

    06 Navigator as a parts donor

    My 2006 Lincoln Navigator may be done. Engine needs to come out for clean-up, maybe full rebuild. I know these engines are generally hated, and have experienced why…. But what would it actually take to swap a 3v 5.4 into a fox body, along with the 6spd automatic. I have enjoyed the airbag...

    Fox headlight options?

    My car will need headlights and side markers. Last set I got (don’t recall where) leaked on driver side. Caused bulb to start shorting out, and it was always dimmed due to moisture… I definitely like clear. Pics appreciated, but sources will help too. Not even sure who sell them anymore…

    What's it Worth? 1989 LX Roller - Worth?

    1989 Mustang LX Roller - $1,500 Clear Title This was an original 2.3 auto car. Paint will clean up better than the pics show, I just didn’t wash it well after it sat for a while. There is one dent behind the passenger fender, the rest of the body is great. The stud for drivers seat needs to...

    That other 2.3 website?

    I've been away from the boards for a few years... Working on getting a 2.3 commuter running, and realized that TurboFord.org is down? Has it been down for a while? If I recall, it isn't unusual for that board to go down now and then...

    Corbeau lowering seat mount?

    https://lmr.com/item/CS-D828TL/mustang-corbeau-double-locking-low-profile-seat-track I have a corbeau seat, from years ago. It always sat pretty high. Saw this seat mount and I’m curious… Anyone use it? How much head room did you really gain? Any other options out there?

    1989 n/a 2.3 auto - stalling issue

    I just got this thing running again, after several years parked. It has stalled a couple times, coming to a stop. Runs great otherwise, smooth, no miss, perfect. Always restarts immediately. Don’t know much about autos, so been wondering what could cause it there? Not disengaging the way...

    Stock IRCM with Taurus fan

    Trying to get the na 89 2.3 running, its been a couple years... The stock fan was running slow, I could spin it with my finger and it would pick up speed, and eventually slow again. It was pretty warm, so the fan should have been commanded full on. I have a fan from a Taurus I pulled years ago...

    Heater core

    Life kicked me around a bit the last few years, but I now have a new to me commuter n/a 2.3 auto, 89 hatchback. The car runs well, and is in pretty decent shape, except for the smell of coolant in the cabin. I don't have any moisture accumulating on the floor, but the coolant smell does not go...

    Talk Me Into Using Megasquirt?

    I used several different ecu's to tune my own fox Mustangs (A9L, X3Z, CBAZA for a 2.3L n/a, to name a few), with either TwEECer or Moates QH. I don't mind using these moving forward, but since I will be tuning both a v8 and a 4 cylinder in the near future (hopefully), it will benefit me to have...
