    Car Carrier dude backed my car into the ground

    Get this! I'm transferring from Texas to Oregon so the company is paying to move my stuff. The Friday before I loaded my 94 GT onto the car carrier, I had installed a Stainless Steel Bassani Catted X-Pipe and welded in two new borla mufflers into the stock catback. So, I arrive to get my...

    Bullitt bullitt or mach 1?

    No, there is a difference!!! Hey gang, I don't normally hang in this forum but I'm a fan of the Bullitt. In fact, I'm getting the Bullitt suspension installed on my 94 GT. During my research, I found out that even though the springs are rated the same, there is a difference. Here is...

    Bad luck with the Mr. Gasket Thermostat

    Hey Guys, It's warming up here in Texas so I decided to change out my stock Thermo for a 180 HiPo Mr. Gasket. First, it does appear to be a quality unit. I drilled a hole at the 12 o'clock like suggested in other threads. I then went to put it in and it seemed to not fit correctly. It...

    Realistic life expectancy of a stroker motor on a D/D???

    Mr. George Reid says that the key to any engine is found on the bottom end, in other words, the short block. If you invested wisely here and control your lead foot (woohoo !!!), then the engine should last quite a while. How to Build Max Performance: Ford V8s on a Budget by George Reid

    Steering wheel play 1". Can't find source.

    Yep, steering is looser than Paris Hilton Like you guys, there is play in my steering, 1 inch like Chris Red V8. I noticed that my power steering fluid is a pasty gray color. I'm suspecting water got in:notnice: Anyway, I've got the car scheduled to have the steering rack and inner and outer...

    PINGING LIKE CRAZY!!!! WTF

    Sounds like you've tried everything. Cleaned the MAF sensor, changed the distrib cap, changed plugs, set the timing back to 10 WITH the spout connector out. The car is still acting like the timing is way too advanced so back it down some more. Set it to 8 and see what you get. You're running...

    Used gears??

    I've always been advised to avoid used gears. The wear pattern from the previous car can cause the gears to howl in your car. It's a good question and I'm curious to see some more responses. :nice: B

    Going Boss 302 347 Stroker kit

    Hey Gang, Just wanted to let you guys know that you have been a huge help with modding my 94 GT. I asked you guys about suspension for a corner carver and got some great tips. My full length subframes, Bullitt suspension, MM caster/camber plates, and MM LCAs are almost done. Phase II is...

    Size of openings MAF-->TB-->Intake?

    Ah yes! I have read those threads. Perhaps, subconsciously, these links are what prompted me to post. Flow rate = Volume/Time if the openings for the Intake, TB, and MAF are equal, you have, in effect, created a cylinder. Volume = Pie r^2*h If the Intake is 70mm, the TB is 75mm, and...

    Size of openings MAF-->TB-->Intake?

    Hey guys, I got to thinking if it's important to match the size of the Intake opening to your TB, for example, a 70 mm TB to an Edelbrock Performer 5.0 (70 mm, I think), then why is not as important to match the MAF to the TB? Stock MAF for our cars is 70mm. Wouldn't it make since to match...

    5.0's what happened

    Could be the EEC IV? It could have something to do with the 94/95 computers being programmed to back off the timing a bit when shifting at higher RPMs. "Built Ford Tough" except the T-5 :D

    Suspension on High Mileage Daily Driver

    WOW! That was fast. Thanks for the advice. When I first started to do this, I was looking at Griggs GR40 stuff. HOLY CRAP, they have some great stuff but man, is it expensive. Thanks again, B

    Suspension on High Mileage Daily Driver

    Hey Gang, Here's the deal! I have a completely stock 94 GT with 115K miles. This is a daily driver and it's time to put some money into it (El mustango :nice: ). I am never going to take this car to the drag strip, nor do I plan on breaking world records in the slalom. Picture cruising...
