    Engine Cam suggestion? HELP!

    I am going to be swapping in a 83 351w in to my 94 mustang convertible and need a suggestion for a cam. I would like to purchase an off-the-shelf cam instead of going through the trouble of a custom ground cam. I will be keeping it as a flat-tappet, so keep that in mine. NO HYDRAULIC ROLLER...

    Couple of questions for u pros....lol

    My suggestion: forget heads/cam/intake/exhaust/headers/gears.. In the end, this will all run you about the same price. Go on ebay and find a "Boost Brothers" turbo kit. I just got one for $1200. Then you can get a Moates Quarterhorse [$200 used], 42# injectors [$150 used], a LMAF [$60], and a...

    My 1994 GT Mustang Aode to T5 Conversion w/PICS!

    I don't know if I figured it out, but I did resolve it. I just pre-loaded the throw out bearing against the pressure plate and it stopped. I am worried that I am wearing on my clutch, but I do plan on doing an engine swap in the next year, so I guess I'll find out. Next time I'm under the car, I...

    Best way to protect turbo piping?

    I just received my Boost Brothers turbo kit. The welds and everything are really nice and I'm impressed with it. However, it is unpainted. I'm wondering what is the most economical way to keep temps down while keeping the piping from pitting/rusting/going to hell. Currently I'm looking at...

    My 1994 GT Mustang Aode to T5 Conversion w/PICS!

    Yes, I did. I preloaded the throwout bearing against the pressure plate and it seems okay.. I don't agree with it, but it did get rid of the knocking. With my luck, it's wearing out the clutch and I'll be back under there next season.

    Car Stalls When Pushing In The Clutch To A Stop?

    I just converted my 94 GT Vert from an AODE to a foxbody T5. Since I've done this, when I'm above 50mph and push in the clutch to come to a stop, the cars rpms will lower [like they should], but instead of resting at about 5-700rpms, it stalls out. Any ideas?

    Drivetrain T5 Knocking?! --- Video

    Just did the AODE to foxbody T5 swap. Here is a video of the knocking: I tried tightening the cable and it is about 2/3rds down on thr clutch fork (where the nuts tighten) and it feels tight I also read that it should be preloaded, which I dont agree with, but it feels like the throwout is...

    My 1994 GT Mustang Aode to T5 Conversion w/PICS!

    I just finished the swap and started up the car. I started up the car and there is a knock :( When I push the clutch in, the knock fades away or isn't there. I took the car for a test drive and it runs fine throughout every gear, even reverse. It knocks in every gear as well as neutral, but...

    Drivetrain Fresh T5 Install - Knocking???

    I recently just installed a T5 out of a 4cyl foxbody in my 94 GT Vert. My car was previously an AODE. I finally finished the swap today, and hopped in, started it up [with the car in neutral] and hear this tapping sound, like it's a bad rod or something. Thing is, when I pull in the clutch...

    Drivetrain How Should The Clutch Feel?

    I'm doing an AODE to T5 swap and am currently adjusting my clutch cable. I've always thought you should feel the clutch engage about 1/4-1/2" as the pedal is pressed... Like it should have a little play so it's not always riding the clutch. What does a normal clutch feel like on a 94-95 and how...

    Drivetrain 4cyl T5 In A 94 5.0

    That was my thought, but I read in this thread that it the person doing the tutorial was using a 4cyl trans: http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/my-1994-gt-mustang-aode-to-t5-conversion-w-pics.781141/

    Drivetrain 4cyl T5 In A 94 5.0

    That was my thought. I purchased a pilot bearing [actually, it was made to fit a diesel ranger] and it fit perfectly around the input shaft and also fit inside the crankshaft. It has the same outer diameter as the pilot bearing for the v8 T5 and same inside diameter as the pilot bearing for the...

    Snapped Clutch Cable!

    I'm in the process of putting a T5 in mine and got a ford racing cable.. Snapping the cable is always on my mind though.

    Drivetrain 4cyl T5 In A 94 5.0

    I grabbed a T5 off craigslist along with the clutch fork and bellhousing. I was able to find a pilot bearing that fit in the crank and around the shaft of the trans, but now when I go to slide the trans into the bellhousing/engine it sticks out by about 1/4". I've tried wiggling it, twisting it...

    My 1994 GT Mustang Aode to T5 Conversion w/PICS!

    After some research, the bearing that fits is made by Motormite, part number 14672. Autozone has them.
