    I have started my restoration

    The back glass cutain is a seperate piece and easy to install. It zips on top and staples at the bottom. The Top is a different story. Two words...Upholstery shop. The top is a PITA. The labor to install will cost more than the top itself, but worth the time and aggravation it'd cause doing it...

    I have started my restoration

    http://www.foureyedpride.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=26545 Older verts rock!!!!Just drop in a 5.0 and go!! As for the rear glass....I'm going plastic. at 1/2 the cost of the glass one, you unzip before dropping the top. At that price I can afford replacing it in a few years...

    Has anybody cloned a 93 cobra on a convertible??? I am just curious as to what it'd look like, spoiler, wheels etc....on a vert rather than Hatchback body. Anybody got pics??? Or would it just look like A$$??

    Iran wants a nuke, Does anybody care?

    I am not trying to promote prejudice, But if it looks like a duck and quacks, it's probably a duck. Religion has been at the heart of most conflicts in history. Yes the Christians had the Crusades and the Spanish inquisition. The IRA and it's conflict in England. Christians were fed to the...

    Iran wants a nuke, Does anybody care?

    History lesson, stay with me. First off a history lesson. History lesson 1. Islam is NOT a religion of peace. The goal of Islam is to make apparent its domination above all religions. It is the worlds fastest growing religion. Shaikh Abdurrahman Abdul-Khaliq on Islamweb "The fourth...

    Front End Conversion?

    IMHO.....5 lug conversion with Wheels, 93 Cobra spoiler and tail lights, 82 GT hood scoop. Or if you put an 86 LX front on you could do the proverbial Saleen Clone. Yes there were Saleen's in 86.

    Front End Conversion?

    IMHO the 86 front end has style compared the dime a dozen 87-93's out there. Same for the interior. I prefer the 86 interior. Round sportier gauges vs. the 87+'s. Sportier Recaro type seats with HALO headrest. That just looks mean. Here is some inspiration for you. Matt Barnes's 86...

    what is the casting on a 1986 5.0 head?

    GT-40's even less, Trick flows even less and AFR's the least.

    So the 86 gts hav ehte same 225 hp HO fuel injected 5.0 as the 87-up cars?

    Stock for Stock Not to beat a dead stang but...... Heads, TB and Upper intake were smaller. 85,86,87 and 88 had E5ZE-6250-AA camshafts. E8ZE-6250-CA (88-90) F1ZE-6250-AA (91-93) and for the Cobra F3ZE-6250-CA If 85's had 210hp, 86's 200, 87-88's 225hp, 89-93 205hp(after ford...

    '86 5.0 H.O question....

    I am so ready for an 87-92 Longblock right about now.... Anybody got a spare they wish to donate?? :D

    '86 5.0 H.O question....

    If you have an 86 block, you have E6 heads and flat top pistons. Until those are gone anything you are doing is moot. E6 Heads flow like poo. Hence the 58MM TB and smaller E6 upperintake on a Stock 86HO. Right now the headers are probably overkill, as is the explorer intake. 19's are...

    OLD HEADS AND INTAKE WORTH ANYTHING?

    Ported the heads may be worth a few $$. The parts are worth something to somebody wanting to do a councours resto. I'd take free E7's and an 87 uppr. Having to buy a H/C/I combo...stock...even 87+stuff wouldn't be my choice. Edlebrock and trickflow gear if I'm buying.

    OLD HEADS AND INTAKE WORTH ANYTHING?

    Ears perk up. Hmm did somebody say 86?? What's shipping? TB and EGR included too??? :SNSign:

    am i going to need my pistons notched

    All I can say is that if Flat top pistons are good, why did ford only use them for 86 model 5.0s? I hate them, I hate E6 heads too....hate, hate hate.:mad: They are great for compression, but mess up your cam and head selection. :shrug:
