    4cyl notch swap to v8

    I just did this in my car. It took me and a friend 4 months of working on the weekends to get it in. I did however use a carbed motor, the motor was carbed when I got it so I stuck with that route to save myself money. Yes it was a lot of hard work and I did learn alot, was my first time...

    5.0 question

    Check out this link for an explantation of why the rear end does what it does when you floor the gas in a turn. Late Model Mustang Suspension Basics It is all in how ford setup the rear end, and the older the rubber bushings are in the system the less the suspension will be able to do its...

    My 1993 Coupe Project

    Well the throttle cable was in, it was a pain in azz too. However now that understand how it works and in what order to remove stuff I think next time it won't take as long. Tomorrow hopefully I can get the mufflers on and maybe figure out why the dipstick is not working out like it should.

    My 1993 Coupe Project

    Well I ran the piss out of the car last week and ran into an issue with the throttle cable, the gas pedal it the floor and the motor was sitting at idle. I ordered a new cable so that will be going on this weekend. I also will be installing the correct dipstick. I finally found a local source...

    Anything to replace the actual ashtray with on a '87-93 besides a switch panel?!

    I saw somewhere that a guy took the cup holders from an 05-09 mustang and spliced them into the 87-93 console, from the pictures it looked like it came out nice. This is something I would like to try, allow the cupholders are rather deep in my 05 so one might have to shorten them. Check out...

    Wiring Diagrams

    I have been using this site: ALLDATAdiy.com :: Leading Source of Diagnostic and Repair Information I came in very handy when doing my 4cylidner to V-8 Conversion. It is not free, so you will have to subscribe and pay a fee. I used the wire diagrams alot when it came to wiring the sensors to...

    Studs snapped off in head.

    Well you can always drill it out instead of using the easy out. Just use a bit slightly smaller then the bolt so you don't damage the threads. Once it is drilled out and you have removed the portion that is stuck in the threads you need to chase the threads with a thread cleaner. If you damage...

    Studs snapped off in head.

    This just happened to me with a water pump bolt in the block. We used an easy out on it but we did it very slowly and took it easy with it. We managed to remove the bolt and now life is good again. Like they said above you don't want to break the easy out in the head.

    My 1993 Coupe Project

    She runs great, it doesn't accelrate nearly as hard with the stock 4 cylinder rear end vs the 4.10:1 that I had in the last body. I will fix that problem as soon as I gather up all the parts to put the IRS in the rear, it already has 4.10 gears in the carrier. What I need to do is go have the...

    My 1993 Coupe Project

    I finally drove it out of the garage last night under its own power. I put five gallons of gas in it and drove up to the local casey's to top of the tank. It is so nice to finally have it up and running. Since my last post I have done the following: Removed the broken bolt and reassembled...

    Engine Offcenter

    Engine Off Center I just cut a hole in my stock hood yesterday to make clearance for the 351. When I measured the air cleaner stud to the sides of the hood opening I discovered that the engine is 7/8" off center. What would cause this to happen? The engine appears to be level and the fan...

    My 1993 Coupe Project

    After installing a new fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel filter and carb I managed to get the mustang purring like a kitten. All was well until the water pump started to leak. I went and tightened down the bolts and snapped one off in the block, so now the engine is sitting there with not water pump...

    trip to the dealership...

    I think the pricing is way out of hand. I can remember standing in the lot of a pontiac dealer in Denver one day starring at a maroon 2002 Pontiac Firebird Formula, 6-speed with the LS1, which I think put it around 300hp and it cost $24,000. So its just seems crazy to me that in only 7 years...

    My 1993 Coupe Project

    I agree, if I start to make serious HP it would definitely be a good idea to go with a tubular k frame, but that is down the road. I also need to shore up the IRS and get it into the car too. But the IRS creates additional issues, once I do that I need 5 lug rims, and when I switch to 5 lug on...

    My 1993 Coupe Project

    Well I worked on the car for two solid days and I still don't have the engine running yet. I ran into a wiring issue last night. I have included pictures of the engine installed and the almost complete interior.

    My 1993 Coupe Project

    Well all I got done yesterday was the interior, so at least that is buttoned up and ready to go. Although I am missing some trim pieces, but it is now functional. I even had time to install the hurst T-handle on the tri-ax shifter! But on the bad news front I found more rust. On the...
