    1996 Lincoln MK 8 -> Mustang GT engine swap?

    Dude! That is as good a situation as you can ask for, first off, you cant beat the price, that's awesome, second, it's right down the street!!! Usually most ppl wind up having to have a motor freighted, which is a pain, having to exchange shipping info and arranging for the seller to get it...

    1996 Lincoln MK 8 -> Mustang GT engine swap?

    It should, and if not, it wont take much fabrication, if it's a good price, grab it up. I have a '83 Capri RS, with a motor out of a '88 MK7 in it, completly converted to fuel injection the whole entire swap. I was very pleased, however it still cant out my 99 LE. IMO i'd grab it up if...

    will a stock 5.0 beat a stock 4.6?

    OKAY. Enough, civil war is'nt going to help. Most of us like to have an opinion, and, we're entitled to one. Lets be reasonable with one another and appreciate the points being made. I think everyone has made a good point. But, it comes down to this. I'm sorry to say to you 5.0 owners, ME BEING...

    will a stock 5.0 beat a stock 4.6?

    I've owned enough 5.0's to know that a 99+ will beat a 5.0. The 99+ just has alot more pull above 3k rpm than the other 4.6's and the 5.0's also. Considering equal driver, perfect conditions, both 5 spds, brand new off the show room floor, 99+ takes it in my experience. A notchback would put up...

    WTF? Record (for me) gas mileage

    30.5 mpg on a 130 mile round trip. I set cruise control at 105mph, engine read 3krpm. All highway. My usual 75mph highway driving, which rpm is at like 2200, I get 24.5, which i've tested twice since I got the car. City I have no idea, but probably could never get an accurate idea, because I...

    Cold start - valvetrain tap/knock

    I think i'll try that, because i've noticed alot of ppl use 5w30 and the manual calls for it, so, i'll try that, and the filter. Yeah the dubb I just love, it's a very different experience. But i'm really only a fan of the MK3 VR6's, and the corrado. Not much into the others. But this car is...

    Cold start - valvetrain tap/knock

    My K&N has the drain back, so, not big deal, however I actually "was" planning on using the motorcraft one for the next change. I've only put about 5k on the car since I got it.......now, I used the pro-long about two months after I got it. To be honest....It never made the noise before I used...

    How to do a burnout??

    I always thought it easiest to do a 2nd gear burnout a bit different, most of my stang buddies as well. Launch and let fly at 5k in 1st, then quick power shift second, you wont get lots of smoke, but, I leave like 60 foot patches of rubber when I do it that way heh. It really depends if you want...

    Cold start - valvetrain tap/knock

    It only happens when the car sits like...atleast 6-8 hours, like, a complete cold start so to speak. But I mean, I pretty much only drive it like once a day, but even when I drive it multiple times, it would have to sit for plenty of hours for it to do it again, and if so, it go's away much...

    Engine died going down the highway, why?

    Has never happened to me with my 99 Limited @ 109k, but, however, i dont use nuetral when coming to a stop from high speed, I leave it in high gear, when i get down to maybe 30 or so I hit 4th, and then, go to nuetral, but I always use 5th down to 4th, all the way down to slow speed, (that is...

    Cold start - valvetrain tap/knock

    99 Limited GT, 109k, everything seems perfect, except, cold starts. Not necessarily cold, but like, if the car sits over night etc etc, or cold, either or. Basically, i'm getting a slight knock, it's more like a knock than tap, I swear it sounds just like my old 5.0 that had a bad lifter or...

    Royal Purple FTW

    I've used Royal Purple for a long time. I absolutly love it, however, my mechanic, who races/builds etc etc swears by regular conventional oil. I dunno, in my VR6 in made such a huge difference, there's no way i'd ever use anything else. So I use it in the stang, no difference in sound or...

    Cop Followed Me Home Tonight...

    I'm not saying all cops are cool, that would be ignorant, as would assuming all cops are *******s. I'm just saying, regardless of experience you gotta have atleast some respect for all the bs they have to put up with. Yeah I know how they can constantly break traffic laws themselves, and i've...

    How to do a burnout??

    Dude omfg i've done that by accident, like a week after getting my car. Now days the first thing I do is shut it off, but, I was leaving an import get-together that i'm a part of, for volkswagon, and I pulled out, and they all wanted to see what the new stang was like, needles to say it pretty...

    Mustang Fellowship Crisis

    All I get is imports doing e-brakes and burnouts and giving the finger etc etc. There's maybe 5 "really" nice stangs in my town, we're overwhelmed by imports, but, we have a local airport that has races, and my friend with a worked '03 Cobra has still never lost a race there. So, alot of the...

    How to do a burnout??

    2nd gear is great for destroying tires no doubt!!!! A good basic burnout is best to just let teh clutch fly at 4k and run it out, therefor not "destroying" your rear brakes. Being able to stop is more important for me LOL. :SNSign:

    Cop Followed Me Home Tonight...

    In my town, the cops pay absolutly no attention to street racing or speeders, and I have no idea why. I mean, i've speed past cops many times, where I should have been stopped for it, well over the limit, and, never anything, and mine's the performance red, so it stands out a bit. Also my town...

    losing interest in the GT: am i missing something?

    Owning a mustang and being happy is actually very simple. If you're not happy, then the car isnt for you, simple as that. As far as your suspension, I dunno where you shop, or who you talk to, I dont really know anything bout ya heh, but, I know these cars can handle...if you put up the...

    N/A Club Members come in! Im Sorry!!

    You should'nt have a problem getting 500whp out of it...especially if you take your time, and do it right. However, the tune is really important, get a great tune, and you should be set. Myself, really picky. I like high end power, dont get me wrong, but, I wont sacrifice low end for it, but...
