    Where To Find Convertabile Interior Panels?

    I'm looking to replace these interior panels in on the sides of the rear seat in my 1989 GT vert. I swear I found these for sale new years ago on a site like LMR or CJPonyParts but I can't find them now that I'm actually interested in buying a set. These are easily the most worn out pieces in my...

    Which Cam And Lifters To Go With...

    Thanks for the thoughts. I want to go with something off the shelf, so to speak. The car is apart in the shop right now and will be as long as I wait for a cam. I couldn't find a website or anything for Buddy Rawls either, only links I could find don't work. I'm iffy to deal with anyone that...

    Which Cam And Lifters To Go With...

    I'm adding Gt40 X302 Cylinder Heads and the intake off an Explorer. I don't know much about Cam shafts / lifters. What would be good to pair with what I'm adding (mostly stock block after that)? For time reasons I'm likely going to buy new, I see a few different Ford Racing cam shaft options but...

    Full Rebuild Needed?

    I blew the head gasket in my 1989 GT several years ago. I drained the oil and removed the cylinder heads and then I just haven't had time since to do more work on it. It's been sitting in my garage since for several years. I am hoping to finally finish this but I'm worried the fact that it has...

    Head Gasket Repair + Performance Goodies

    Thanks for the tips on cleaning and moving the pistons. The walls don't seem bad so I'm not too worried. I'll get in there with a tooth brush best I can. True, but I also replaced the radiator too :)

    Head Gasket Repair + Performance Goodies

    Winter is over (I don't have a heated garage) so I'm back to working on this. I'm gonna try and finish before it's been a full three years :) I got the second cylinder head off so everything is now apart. My next step will be cleaning things up before putting everything back together. Razor...

    Head Gasket Repair + Performance Goodies

    I've got one of two cylinder heads off. Trying to clean in where the pistons / lbock is, is it safe to use degreaser there or should I just wipe things down? Trying to get rid of the coolant-mixed oil from the head gasket leak plus one of the cylinders has some other gunk built up on-top of it.

    Seems like a good enough deal I'll buy it. If you just sold me your own part, well played :)

    Head Gasket Repair + Performance Goodies

    Got all the bolts out of one of the cylinder heads (triple checked they were all out). Discovered two of them had actually fallen out from the headers, so that'll be good to fix too. And wow is the cylinder head stuck to the block. Had to call it a night, too tired from trying to pull it apart.

    Head Gasket Repair + Performance Goodies

    I looked up the F1Te-D5A, Bosch#: 0280150947 or Motorcraft#: CM-4721 model numbers and didn't find anything cheap online / eBay. It seems there are some aftermarket injectors, some used injectors, etc that work. How do I know what works? Are they all the same form factor and I just need to...

    Head Gasket Repair + Performance Goodies

    Thankfully I've got the 64cc model, no need for buying more. I'll look around for 24lb injectors and replace if I can find a good price on them. Any more elaboration on this so I know what I can do to check / avoid this situation? I didn't drive much and it was never so bad that I had to stop...

    Head Gasket Repair + Performance Goodies

    The hoses I cannot get apart are connected to the black metal rails that have a bracket bolting them to the lower intake. They aren't the fuel lines (those are silver) but I'm not sure exactly what their purpose is. I'll try a little WD40 and also look into finding / cost of new hoses. If the...

    Any tips on getting stuck hoses apart? I've got a couple that just won't come apart. Can't seem to twist them and they don't pull apart.

    Head Gasket Repair + Performance Goodies

    I bought the cheaper plastic quick connect tools and was able to get the quick connect off in about 20 seconds. Much better than the at least half hour I struggled with the metal tool. Managed to get the fuel rails off and the other valve cover. Got most of the bolts off the lower intake but...

    Ford Racing Radiator Doesn't Fit

    Thanks for the help all. I managed to find some brackets at a local hardware store that were pretty much exactly the size I needed and then just used nuts & bolts to mount this instead of the screws it previously used.

    Head Gasket Repair + Performance Goodies

    That'd be nice if I don't have to do that, I'm struggling right now to get them off. Spent more time today with no luck. How do I disconnect the fuel line from the injectors then? They sit ontop of them and it appears I have to either take the fuel lines off, disconnect the fuel lines from the...

    Ford Racing Radiator Doesn't Fit

    So running into an issue with the fan shroud. I had to alter the mounts horizontally some on the radiator to get the shroud to even fit. But once it does, the bottom of the shroud is too high by about a half inch to an inch and the fan hits it. There isn't any way I can mount it higher on the...

    Head Gasket Repair + Performance Goodies

    Just an update on the longest headgasket repair, I finally got back to really working on this. Got the driver side value cover off. Got one of the fuel link quick connects undone but I'm struggling with the other. See where the quick connect tool is currently set, I just cannot get this to...

    Ford Racing Radiator Doesn't Fit

    I wish I would have read these earlier but I went ahead and drilled a new hole (one side of the mount fit, the other side was too far right). Seems to work well now, I'll just have to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get lose. The cowl now doesn't mount up right. I think I can get...
