    is it possible to carb a 06' 5.0 ?

    Minor correction for you, the VCT is a hydrualically actuated system. No wires or computer. There are two sensors (one on each side) that report cam position, but that is all they do. The VCT operates independently.

    What front engine brackets can I use????

    You have to use the "old" water pump - the 5.0 pump is reverse rotation (serpintine belt) and you need a standard rotation pump (v-belt) to work with what you want to do

    spark plug change

    You want the opposite. The car should be COLD. As in park it and let it sit overnight before attempting this procedure. This info is posted in the TSB above and does make a difference. Trying to remove the plugs from a warm engine is asking for trouble.

    Hood Problem

    Hood shake is normal, yes. Hood unlatching itself is NOT normal. Did you recently have it open? Maybe it was latched right or if not you better take it in for a look. I would try to re-create the problem by tugging up on it when latched to see if you can lift it up past the latch to the safety -...

    Throw Out Bearing $$

    If by "stay continuously engaged" you mean keeping contact and spinning, you are correct, as they do. They are designed this way by Ford and there is nothing wrong with that. Most all of us who have done a T5 swap now have this design in our cars. If you have one making noise then it has either...

    Pics/Vid of the 66

    Did you modify your own wire harness for the 4.6L 2v? And your MII - did you use a kit? If so which one and how did it go?

    Ford Racing Exhaust

    No, the mufflers (m-5230-GTA) are standard on the shelby GT. Your GT with the GT apperance pkg only adds chrome tips to the standard GT muffler. Sound is unchanged. There is a HUGE difference in the sound and apperance between the GTA's and the stock mufflers. GTAs have LARGE 4" double walled...

    Will 05+ V6 wheels fit a GT?

    Don't forget the v6 wheel is 7" vs. the stock 8" GT wheel (or 8.5" if you have oem 18's).

    06 18" GT wheel polishing

    Yeah, they are clear coated. Otherwise they would have been dull and spotted after the first rain storm. Treat them like you would the paint on your car. Absolutely NO abrasives!! Maybe try a coat of wax? How bad are they really? Worst case (if they truly are damaged) you would have to strip...

    Saleen HID

    I will preface this by saying that I'm not familiar with this Saleen's setup. For basic trouble shooting, can you swap components from the opposite side to do some A-B-A testing? Or is everything RH / LH specefic?

    Getting rid of the 2005-up throttle dead-play?

    That cannot be anywhere near what the actual percent is. Or I would be VERY suprised. Where did you see/hear that figure?

    Getting rid of the 2005-up throttle dead-play?

    metroplex - The dead play you are refferring to is by design. It is there to aid the driver. At cruise, tip-in and tip-out (accelerating / letting off, respectively) it is necessary to have this there to avoid a jerky or rough operation. It is meant to serve the purpose of having a cushion...

    "NEW" engine in my car, how can I tell?

    The engine compartment stays fairly clean on these cars compared to earlier model Mustang's. I bet they cleaned it up for the sale. You could check out the cam cover sticker for a quick check. Date code should be close to your car (should not see an 06/07/08 year). IF I remember correct date...

    Special tools needed for intake cover removal?

    I had to go look at mine - you only need a small socket for the two front nuts on the studs :D

    what options make it "Premium" ?

    Agree with above posts, one additional thing. For 2009MY, Satellite Radio became part of the Premium trim level, so that means you also get the dumb attena drilled on the trunk lid.
