    17x10.5 rims

    Your brakes are mounted to the axle tube, so if you just change the axle length your rotor/drum will be farther away from your brake bracketry, and that aint good. What size tire are you going to run and what year is the car. You'll need at least a 315 tire since the next size down is 295...

    How does one speedo gear work with all gears??

    So I want to install a 4.10 gear in my 95 GT with auto, but not unless I can find a working speedo gear. I'm very anal about driveability and functionality in this car so the speedo has to work right. Steeda sells the white 23 tooth speedo gear, but I'm not sure how it works. They say it works...

    Who's got one?

    It depends on why you want it. Does your car really go that fast and make that much power that a 600 horse TKO can handle it?? You do realize that you CAN NOT slow shift a dog ring at low rpm, its really made for high rpm pounding like a road course car, drag car or top speed car. No street...

    383 twin turbo head

    The Vics on a 351 based stroker is a good thing. Remember, although on a NA motor a large intake runner is a bad thing for a street car, you dont need to worry about it with a turbo. You always want to oversize the runners on a boosted application otherwise its a restriction. You can get away...

    Will these rims/tires rub

    Like I said Nitto, your pretty worthless on here. Tony, were you to mean I DIDNT say I had a 95, because I posted that in the first comment. Yeah, I've heard they fit larger tires and so Im not too concerned if the 85 isnt up to the task. Worse case scenario, the 85 gets her 99 Cobras back...

    whos running big cubes with carb on the street?

    I dont know about the mileage since that has never really been tested on a large motor like that, especially being a stroker. I do know that pushing 427 cubes out of a windsor is a tall order and so I doubt you'll get that kind of mileage out of it. The other thing to consider is the low...

    Will these rims/tires rub

    No, actually 245s are stock on a 94+ GT which is most likely the car that is getting the rims and tires. And besides, the fox frame and body are basically the same from 85 to 95, a 245 fits just fine. I know about Berts car but he was saying that the Nittos are a lot smaller than regular tires...

    will these rims rub?

    Has anyone brought up the fact that the rim size doesnt matter, its the tire you put on it.

    Will these rims/tires rub

    Blakthorn, you couldnt get 255s to fit?? Thats a 10mm wider tire than stock, so Im assuming you had a retardedly tall tire??

    Will these rims/tires rub

    Thanks Nitto, that makes no sense at all. An attitude at just 22 posts, your a real help to this community. Tell ya what, learn something about mustangs and then come back with some helpful technical information. Tony, where were they rubbing and what rim were you sporting.

    Fox Body hatchback RATTLE!!!!

    I believe a lot of it is due to excess play in the latching mechanism. If it isnt making a tight fit then the hatch is going to move around from the loose play when its latched. Try lifting the hatch from different points and see where its moving from. IF the back is tight, but the top portion...

    Advantages Of Smog Delete?

    Yount beat me to it. There really is no use to removing the smog unless you want the cleaner engine bay. But again, the pump mounts so low its hard to see anyways. The smog pump itself has next to no parasitic drag on it and is supposedly good for like 1 horsepower max gain. The weight loss...

    Will these rims/tires rub

    I've always been a big fan of big meats in the back and everytime I do a good sized tire, no matter the car, it always seems so small. So this time I am going all out. I really hope this fits. I'd like it to fit my 85, but in case it doesnt, I can put them on my 95 but here is the plan. I...

    TKO 600 transmission sag on 91 mustang GT

    I've never heard of anyone needing any kind of washer or spacer to assist in the installation of a Tremec. But with that said you must obviously be experiencing something that would make you think that. Is there any way you can send a picture. As far as the installation, are your motor mounts...

    Runon with rich mixture??

    I'm starting to also think that the comp is higher than I thought and the last time I got gas I bought 87. It really knocks good too if you try to start it when its hot.

    Runon with rich mixture??

    I know running lean can cause a dieseling effect when shutting off the car, or having too much timing, but Im pretty sure I have neither. My 460 is very fresh and Ill include the essentials to help with your diagnosis. I've checked for vacuum leaks and come up short, all bolts are tight and...

    Offset rack bushings?

    I'd like to think that, lol, but each bearing was the thickness of a pencil and there were at least a dozen of them. Try squeezing that into the hole in the crank.
