    Non fox 5.0 question...

    The problem with the mid 80's crown vic/grand marquis platform. Is that there is pretty much no aftermarket for them. There are NO aftermarket headers available. I did find out that stock mustang headers will fit.

    How much of the smog stuff can be removed, before it starts giving fault codes? I do not have to adhere to emissions standards, due to the year and where I live.

    Granada spindles, Oregon

    Title says it all. I picked these up a few years ago. But never used them. I have the spindles only. Although I do have the rotors, but they are worn and rusty. Probably cost more to ship than they are worth. $50 and they are yours. Located in Oregon, just south of Eugene.

    fixing the windows on my vert...

    I had a marginally intelligent moment and confused the bolts that held the motor to the door, for the bolts that hold the body of the motor to the gear box. I spent about a half hour working these out, then realized I had pulled the wrong ones. Needless to say, taking the motor apart is not...

    I figured out why the window is so wobby inside of the door. This is where the guide rod bushing is supposed to be. Yes, those are zip ties. The upper bushing is just missing.
