    Who has got an intake ready to install...

    Hey David, Since the motor is not fully back together yet here are some GT40 #s. Top is 42mm or 1 21/32" Bottom Across: 25mm or 31/32" Length: 48mm or 1 7/8" I measured a few different ones and all were the same as far as the openings.

    Fox "Outer" Tie Rod Ends

    I think most people I have seen here go with MOOG. I replaced the ones on my 1990 last year and they were they same a stock. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=MOG%2DES2150RL&N=700+4294925130+400381+4294908331+4294908282+4294924929+4294855923+115&autoview=sku

    injector and intake manifold question

    The spacer is marketed that it cools the intake temps, but that is not really true. Not sure what size you have, as depending on the company they can be 3/8", 1/2", or 1" but even with the 1' temps will be pretty close to the same. What most use them for is clearance for your valve covers...

    Window tint - DIY or pay a shop???

    If you have never tinted windows before I would take it someone. It took me several tries before I felt comfortable doing a job for a customer, that was with a expert training me. You need a nice clean shop, because dirt can easily get trapped in between an you not notice it until it is too...

    I Am Legend.

    Went to see it yesterday. I have to say that it was worth the $4.75 (saw it early Sunday), but would be dissappoint if I had paid more. They needed to spend a bit more time developing the story of how to virus spread and mutated. But the Shelby sequence and guns made it worth the price I paid.

    What is the average age on stangnet 5.0 talk?

    33 years old, and have own my 90 since 1993. Have been a mustang fan since I was 14 when we got the 67 fastback and restored it with my uncle over the next few years. Got into mini-trucks for awhile, owned a 400 small block S-10, but always wanted to go back to a mustang. So when I had the...

    need some info on welders

    Correction Noted, my bad! I meant stick welder, I have just called them arc welders, out of habbit, and for some reason I put the "h" on the end. It was a long weekend! And PeteyAce as Shaker pointed out the 140 is a better deal in the long run.

    need some info on welders

    With the mig you will have more control over temp and wire speed. The mig feeds the wire to the end of the gun and if you have shielding gas it sounds the wire at the tip for a better weld. The stick welder, if I remember correctly, is fed in a stick form by you. They usually have higher...

    Intake misc hose?

    It is more of a safety devise than anything else the way I understand it. I have heard that when it is not hooked up that people can smell the gas fumes more. Here is my understanding of how it works. The canister takes excess fumes from the tank and they are absorbed into the charcoal...

    tire size help. Wider in ther rear?

    Almost right! Actually 35 refers to a percentage of the 275 to determine the sidewall aspect ratio. Here is an example a little more detailed. Section Width Following the letter(s) that identify the type of vehicle and/or type of service for which the tire was designed, the...

    Intake misc hose?

    Sounds like you are talking about the hose that goes to the charcoal canister ( Black box looking thing by the passengers side frame rail. If it is you should be able to trace it fairly easily and yes you should have it hooked up. The Canister takes fuel fumes and recirculates them back...

    Which oil pump

    Thanks for the replies guys. What about the pickup? Are you buying new or cleaning and reusing the old one? I am sticking with the stock type pan.

    Which oil pump

    What oil pump, would you recommend! After searching I saw several people saying this one. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=MEL%2DM68&N=700+4294925232+4294863521+4294908395+4294908331+4294924929+4294840126+115&autoview=sku Some saying not! There is also a...

    need some advice on this intake

    Yes, Roland is it the same type plate. When I bought my car it had the original stock TB and Plate attached to the GT40 and it was working fine. A 65 mm matches a little better with the opeing. I think the opening is 68mm or 70mm, but don't quote me on that. Now you need to see if you can...

    Foglights on a Saleen Bumper

    I am pretty sure those will not fit very well. Thanks for the explanation 25th. The side skirts are actually quiet different than the GT, but a little hard to tell from the photo and they are also not as skinny as the Saleen's. The back is another story I always hated it, it was completely...

    need some advice on this intake

    Roland, That is a good deal with all the extras. I really like the looks of mine. Yes, you are limited to the power level at the motor, but to me it is still the best looking intake they made. The silver should look good as long as the raw metal wasn't wavy. The only thing I can...

    Foglights on a Saleen Bumper

    Unsure what you mean by that 25th nothing GT on my car. In fact the body kit is no longer on my car. This kit was on it when I bought it in 1993, it was fine for back then, but I am currently redoing the whole car and am uncertain if I will even put any kind of GFX package back on it. But...

    Foglights on a Saleen Bumper

    I don't have pictures on my work computer, but if you look at the late 80's Saleen's, the front is the same. I never said the rest the the GFX package was a Saleen, just the front. I said it was a Xenon Saleen kit because that is the name of the actual kit I have the paper work to prove it...
