    t5 tranny making wierd noise at idle.

    I put a brand new world class T-5 in my '89 and it sounded the same way, kind of like marbles clanking around, especially at low lopey idle. I had a tranny guy check it out and even replaced the input shaft bearing and then just let it be. I also noticed that most mustangs with T-5's make the...

    Transmission Vibration??

    you say the vibration increases with rpm, but what about speed? If you're cruising at 2k then let out the clutch, is the vibration still present? If it is, then I would suspect the driveshaft is out of balance, or the u-joints are bad. If the vib goes away, then it's engine/transmission...

    TKO 600 swap, 26 spline disc

    I just bought the TKO 600 today and along with it the 31 spline yoke and a centerforce dual friction 26 spline clutch disc that I plan on using with my spec pressure plate. Was the centerforce a good choice?

    TKO 600 swap, 26 spline disc

    I recently sold my '89 stang and ended up buying a 92lx coupe equipped with a custom single turbo kit. The car is awesome and has 405hp and 440tq at 6psi of boost, and a conservative tune. Anyways, I bought the car with a worldclass T-5 in it and knew I would eventually blow it up, and sure...

    94 mustang 351, tremec 3550

    sorry about posting it in talk... I really did not mean to advertise so much as to find out what modded mustangs typically go for... I mean to me 6500 is a real bargain for what the car has and any input regarding why it might not be selling I felt was "talk" appropriate

    94 mustang 351, tremec 3550

    Car is posted in classifieds for $6500 and on ebay with a starting bid of $6300. The car runs great and I believe has the potential to makemore power. The transmission is a tremec 3550 with very low miles. I've tried to sell the car for $7000 and got nothing... is anyone interested...

    Wiring Problem

    One day my car began to acclerate very roughly below 2000rpms and then lose power up top past 3500rpms. I went to pull the codes and noticed a wire that looked as if it was pinched from its proper place. The wire is located near the firewall of the drivers side right by the brake master...

    x-cam clearance

    I guess I will go ahead and pull my car apart tomorrow and put the gt40's on the 306 block (the one with the xcam), since I am somewhat convinced everything will be fine. I've heard of the clay method before, but I figured since the 165's had no problems clearing it can be assumed that the...

    x-cam clearance

    sorry for being uncelar... but I plan on putting the 165's on my shortblock and putting the gt40 irons onto the 306 with the xcam. So the quesiton is, will the gt40 irons go onto the 306 with the x-cam without clearance issues. I assume if valve size is all that matters, this should work since...

    x-cam clearance

    Alright so my situation is a little different than the typical clearance questions regarding the x-cam. I have a friend with a 306 bottom end who bent the #5 connecting rod when a lower intake manifold gasket failed and sent coolant into the combustion chamber. This happened while he was in...

    experiencing valve float?

    I installed a tfs1 cam a few weeks ago and am a little disappointed with the results. The car sounds great and has a strong pull at 3000rpms but begins to lose power above 4500rpms. I was being cheap and didn't replace the valve springs on my 97 explorer gt40 iron heads. I read they were...

    Car dies after an hour!

    I do not have an aftermarket ignition... and I agree that it might be something electrical due to the effects of heat on old connections/relays. On thursday I plan on installing a stage 1 cam, and along with it I am going to get an adjustable regulator a fuel pressure guage. When I pull it...

    Car dies after an hour!

    TFI tested ok after three tests(to heat up). I looked into a fuel pressure guage but they want 50 bucks for one so I figured I might as well buy one I can put on there permenately. Even though I have a new pump, bad fuel pressure is the only thing left I can think of.

    Car dies after an hour!

    the supplied grease was applied when I installed the module... I will get it tested as soon as possible. As I was brainstorming on the situation I realized that this problem started ever since my alternator caught fire and the fusible link that leads to the starter solenoid melted. I replaced...

    Car dies after an hour!

    As the title says, my car has been dying after about an hour of stop and go driving in warm weather. It always happens when I come to a stop and suddenly the idle will drop to around 600rpm and if I try and give it gas I can keep it running for a second, but eventually it will just die out no...

    warm weather= death

    I was wondering if your new fuel pump fixed the problem. I noticed the title of the post was warm weather = death so I'm not sure how the fuel pump would relate to this. I'm having a similar problem now that it has heated up in Houston and my thoughts go to blaming the underdrive pulleys and...

    GURU'S:How much Rear Wheel Horse Power

    my buddy has an identical setup; y303's and an E cam along with the other bolt ons and made 304 rwhp on the dyno. The only difference is he has 30 lb injectors but I'm sure the 24's are plenty.
