    88TC swap into an 85 Mustang

    I would be getting the complete motor, accessories, turbo, wiring harness, computer, and intercooler. Everything to drop it in and run it. What would be a reasonable price for this setup? I think I know what needs to be done, but what am I missing? 1.The gas tank will have to be switched...

    Early 80's stock turbo mustangs(post pics)

    I have never seen one, but I wouldn't do it. Would be cooler to see a carbed turbo setup.

    Early 80's stock turbo mustangs(post pics)

    I put it there to intimidate the ricers. The 2.8 V6 was an option on the 79.

    Early 80's stock turbo mustangs(post pics)

    yes, but it was a 2.3 not a 2.8. here is a pic. The hood scoop has been raised to clear the air cleaner on the 460 but you get the idea. The 2.3 is sitting in my garage on a stand patiently waiting.

    Help! How to remove distributor drive gear?

    You need to tap the pin out and then use a puller to remove the gear. Just be patient and don't marr the shaft or mushroom the end of the shaft. Use a large socket to tap it back on. Make sure you line up the hole on the gear and shaft before tapping it back on.

    Front Control arm questions

    Do the aftermarket plates allow for more camber. I always thought the plates just gave you the ability to adjust the castor. Still would like to swap the control arms to increase the track.

    Front Control arm questions

    I updated my front end with 96 Cobra brakes, spindles, and rotors. Now the Camber is all out of sorts. I adjusted the stock camber plate and it is maxed out, but the wheels are still off. (top out, bottom in) I was hoping to swap some T-Bird control arms in to kick the bottom out, but not...

    ART JOHNSON'S -

    Great stories. I am going to have to ask my uncles and my Gf's dad about some. I know my Gf's dad said he use to race on the Rt. 1 flats and my uncles use to just terrorize the neighborhoods.

    mig welders

    I was told that the gas shielding is much better and after watching an instructional video I see why. The gas mix of argon and co2 help control the arc. Hobart, Miller, and Lincoln are all good brands. I was told you can't go wrong from one of those three. Also there are Mig's you can use...

    Bob's K-Member Spacer Kit: http://fordifiedracing.homestead.com/kitinfo.html I have them installed in my 79. 460 w/stealth and a 14"x3" 2"dropped base air cleaner. I had to raise the turbo cowl an inch, but it fits nice. There are some pics on the site showing before and after.

    question about traction lock rear axel

    Posi and trac-lok are limited slip. Both tires will spin from a stand still. When turning they allow one wheel to spin a little slower. There is a clutch pack that allows this. If you goose it in a turn both wheels will have power applied to them. If you want to move up from a limited slip...

    2.3L tranny with 5.0L?

    It will fit. You can also use a 5-speed off a 5.0. Just need a different bearing. Ask in the 2.3 Forum for the best info. Or do a search in the tech article at the top.
