    big block in a fox

    I thought the booster would be too close to the valve cover.

    big block in a fox

    That sounds like a great project. Wall to wall motor. I think you may have to go with manual brakes. I think if you look up holcomb motorsports they used to sell swap kits for 351 and 460 into a fox.

    yet another 5 lug conversion thread

    I would wait until you get the rear brake parts and put it all on at one time. If you get the bigger mc and just put it on with the new front brakes it may blow out the rear wheel cylinders. I would think you would have to add the adjustable p valve and have it set more towards the front for...

    Original 5 speed car, How can you tell?

    I have converted 2 cars and on both the front part of the shifter hole had to be opened up more. One car I changed the computer and one I didnt. I know the tag in the door should tell the trans code but if the door was replaced that will not help. Also the clutch switch may not work you can...

    trans pops out of 1st

    It could be 2 things the actual gear teeth could be cracked or chipped or the 1, 2 slider keys are cracked or missing. Either way it will need to be rebuilt.

    beating a dead horse again

    The strongest factory T-5 that I know of is the 93 cobra or Z-spec unit with the 295 first gear. The input shaft and retainer are easy to replace on the T-5 . It is good to have the tag on the trans but the years are stamped on the cases also. But you can have a 92 case with a 87 to 89 gear set...

    4 lug brake upgrades

    There is a kit that is a SVO mc and lincoln mark VII calipers for the fronts. Or you can put 93 cobra brakes on. The fronts I think are the same as all fox but it has rear 4 lug disc if I remember correctly so you may have to do a combination of the two kits.

    front crank seal: which side of timing cover is it installed from?

    It installs from the outside of the timing cover. You will see when you remove the old one. It goes in one way. There is a shoulder on the seal that contacts the front of the timing cover when installed. The spring on the seal you speak of should be on the inside of the cover.

    Speedo troubles.

    That sucks you will have to pull the trans and the tail will have to come off for this. Just make sure you dont hammer the roll pin going through the shifter block down to far. Just make sure its just past the shift rod to remove the block from the rod thats it. If you hammer down to far it will...

    clutch

    I had a king cobra in my 88 lx years ago and I loved it. I think you can take them up to 400 hp. Great clutch for the street. I drove mine daily and it was used in heavy traffic. I never tried a center force I hear they are good also. I have a McLeod dual fiction in my 87 and thats a nice clutch...

    92 GT 5.0 OVERHEATING

    So the problem was it had the regular v belt water pump on it in stead of the reverse rotation. Great you found it. I was going to say the fan was to small with the a/c on.

    Another Clutch Cable Problem

    I have had the best luck with the stock cables in use with the UPR firewall adjuster and there triple hook quadrant. It works nice and smooth.

    If its a 5.0 it shouldnt have to be tested to old. Only the 96 and newer get tested.

    Went to the track, dissapointed

    The electric fan puts a big strain on the alt when its running. The only way to get the best out of it is with the fan off on the run and then turn it on after. If its automatic it will just come on and off and it does effect times this happened to my friend. The fans drain alot of juice. Just a...

    Cooling system Gurus please step inside

    Is the neck flange bent up if so you may have to tap that down alittle. As for the cap the best thing to do other then seeing if they would take it back and give you another one would be putting a hard rubber O-ring or donnut to space up and seal the cap. They would not take my griffin back it...

    93 Cobra booster or SN95 booster?

    I have the 94-95 GT 1 1/16" MC with the 95 booster and bullitt, cobra brakes and it works great. The car never stopped that good. I originaly had the whole 95 setup on it and thought I needed to change the mc with the new cobra brakes but I just upgraded the brakes "calipers and rotors" and it...
