    Fuel Gauge not working...

    Is there a way to test the fuel sending unit to see if it is causing the stock fuel gauge not to work. Mine is currently sitting on empty. I filled it up this weekend and it looked like it moved a little, but not enough to say for certain. Can I pull the wire from the sending unit and use a...

    New motor getting hot

    Thanks for the replies guys, I really appreciate it. I guess I need to edit my first post. I can't say for sure the motor got to 190. Since I'm using factory gauges and it does'nt have temps for each notch, I cant say for sure what it was. I just thought about this a few minutes ago, and I'm...

    What fan should I run???

    Wow Thanks everyone for your replies, I really appreciate it. I think I'm going to go with the Black Magic Xtreme. It looks awesome and from what a few of you guys said it does a great job cooling. I've been looking hard at the "Jegs" brand aluminum radiator. My buddy is running this and it...

    Brake problems...

    I need some advice on my brakes...I just put a new 306 in my 89 GT this weekend. My brakes were bad before the motor swap. They feel like I don't have enough pressure when I push on the pedal. Anyway, I thought my master cylinder was shot so I bought a new one. I bled all four really good...

    What fan should I run???

    Hey guys\gals, I have an 89 GT with a .030 over 302. I'm eventually going to get an aluminum radiator and electric fan. I've been looking at the Flexilite Black Magic Xtreme puller. It looks like it covers the whole radiator. Does anyone have one of these, and if so how well does it...

    Radiator choices...

    Hey guys\gals, I just built a 302 bored .030. I have a gt40 and stock heads, mass air, 70mm tb, pretty moderate really. I want to upgrade to an aluminum radiator and electric fan. Do you all have any recommendations?

    Advice please...

    thanks bowtie for the suggestions. I'll probably just punch it .030 and build it stock. Some good heads and intake will make plenty of power for what I want to do, atleast for a while anyway.

    Advice please...

    Yeah mustanggt5pt0, I've thought about that. I would like to just do the 306 but the shop basically said if I was going to all the trouble it would be stupid not to stroke it. My problem is really the funds. I'm not sure how true the 70k on the stroker is, but I have heard that they dont last...

    Engine bay wiring

    Hello, I have an 89 gt and I'm in the process of an engine rebuild. I have went ahead and repainted under the hood while the engine is out, and I was wondering if I can hide some of the ugly wiring. I have seen several stangs in magazines and online that are missing the starter coil from the...
