    Has anyone put 460 in 89 foxbody please help!

    Go check out the 385 forum on www.bigblockfox.com. I have both the FMS pan and mounts and I am running the Hooker SC and they are interfering with the steering shaft joints. BTW 79 w/ manual rack and k-member spacers. Had steering interference before the spacers were installed too.

    Leaving the Mustang

    Don't get rid of it man. You would never get enough money for it. You will lose money by selling it now and buying another one later. I would take it off the road and park it in the driveway. Get back to it when you have time. Good luck with either situation.

    question on setting timing!

    At the damper and timing pointer on the block. You may have to add some chalk marker at TDC, 10 BTC, and 20 BTC so that you can see it clearly. You will see that the timing gun is really just a strobe light. It lights up everytime the #1 cylinder fires. You will be able to see where the pointer...

    ranger and mustang

    The front spindle on the ranger's will not work. I am sure you could get the tranny to work. Is it 4x4 or 2wd? Not sure on the pedals. You should pick up some turbines. They go for cheap money and IMO look damn good.

    Holy ****...i'm going to need some help.

    You need to find a new mechanic. Brake fluid and gear oil are easily identified. :nonono: And I am with Wart. I want to see every inch of a car before I buy it. Of course I learned the hard way. Good luck with everything.

    I have a Question

    Slapping a turbo on is doable, but buying a complete turbo engine may be more cost effective. Depends on your location and resources. Do some searches on here and check out stinger's and others' sites for ideas. People here have done both.

    ignition switch

    I had that problem. Car would fire right up, but as soon as I let the key return to run the car would die. Drove me batty for awhile. Then found out it was part of the ignition switching in the steering column. Right in back of the ignition tumbler, there is the switching box (what I call it)...

    bought myself a 4cyl ranger

    I would leave it stock unless throwing a turbo in there is an option. I had a 90 ranger. Fun to drive around the city, but on the highway it just had no top end. so it goes. Too bad it met its end before I stockpiled all the parts. Check the tranny fluid. I know on mine it was low when I...

    what can I do???

    Get your **** out quick, man. They dicked you once, sounds like he will not hesitate to do it again.

    what can I do???

    That is a dick move on his part. I would get my **** out of there quick and then make him pay. Small claims may be able to help you, but it is time consuming. Doesn't sound like a person who will fork the money over easily. Why did he sell them? Bad blood between you guys? Good luck

    Engine Codes???? What is wrong?

    That is what gets me. The TPS had a reference voltage of 5Vs on the dot. Also the resistances checked out and the voltage varied accordingly. Driving me batty. :bang: I am going to go check all the connections again. Thanks Edit: Took off the EGR and it was stuck open. Freed it up...
