    changing gears - 3.27 or 3.55?

    I guess I will chime in and say that I am very conservative about rear end gear ratios, and I am very happy with my 3.55s. I would not change gearing at all unless you at least go with 3.55s, since it is still a rather tall gear ratio. If it were an automatic, I would probably agree on the...

    Don't like ride with Eibach Sportlines

    If you have worn out old stock suspension, putting in a set of springs like Eibach or H&R's springs will really make matters worse. If you replace your struts and shocks, it will probably make a huge difference in ride quality. The reason I say this is that you are using progressive rated...

    Coolest Drums Ever

    I have always thought that painting the drums would be a stupid idea, and draw attention to stuff that you should not, until I saw this thread. You did a really good job on that, and it looks nice. I have been proven wrong.

    190 0r 255 fuel pump? Noise issues?

    Keep in mind that the stock fuel lines will limit what you can get out of your pump. You will have to upgrade your fuel lines to something bigger to get a net lph over 150lph. 255 is very large, and by the time you need that sort of fuel flow, you will probably be using a fuel cell anyways...

    Oil Pump

    Can someone describe to me the process of replacing the oil pump? I do not trust mine, and I would like to replace it when I do my h/c/i swap. There does not seem to be too many articles and things on it to help out the mechanically disinclined such as myself. Thanks.

    My list - am I forgetting anything?

    Thanks! Just to let people know, since it may be hard to spot on the first post, the water pump has about 2000 miles on it, so I am just going to reuse it. I am more concerned about my oil pump, that has never been replaced. The heads are pedestal, and they came with shims. And as far as...

    My list - am I forgetting anything?

    Alright, I bought a couple more things, and edited my list above appropriately. Now I am looking at head gaskets, and I am all confused because they have different bore sizes. I assume I would be using stock bore size, right? If so, what the heck is the stock bore size? I see .38in through...

    optima red top in a fox..what will it take to get it in?

    I picked up a generic battery hold down package from a local auto parts store, and it was a red metal hold down that was larger than the stock one. I simply put the stock 5/16 bolt through that and tightened it down, and it holds the optima in the stock battery tray just fine. It was so long...

    LX Heads vs GT Heads?

    I may also add that the GTs had upgraded ball joints and maybe bushings in the front end, though some LXs had this too if they had the "HD" handling package. I forget, but was there a difference in the front sway bar as well? I think there was a couple of differences underneath the car that I...

    86 Heads vs. E7TE

    This is why I don't post here often. This thread is ridiculous. Notice my join date is Nov 03, yet my post count is like 20. These tech forums are a joke, if you are giving advice, then be sure what you are talking about, if you want to give an example about what happened to a friend's car...

    86 Heads vs. E7TE

    I am pretty sure you can put E7s on an 86??? A buddy of mine just did that! I think his name on here is FiveLugFoxFanatic. I can ask him what he had to do, but if I remember right it was not bad at all.

    My list - am I forgetting anything?

    Alright, now from my recent understanding, I need to decide on what cam I am getting before I get pushrods, right? Which cam would be better for the above setup, the F303 or the E303? Remember this is more of an autox car than a drag car. Or would a different "letter cam" be more...

    My list - am I forgetting anything?

    Thanks trophyhead, I totally forgot about the waterpump gasket. I imagine I will need a new water neck gasket as well. I can still picture myself forgetting about 32672095706 small things though!

    any tricks on getting off the other oilpan bolt?

    If it is on there pretty good, I just use a normal box-end wrench and tap the end of it with a rubber mallet. I am assuming you have the car sitting on the ground when changing the oil, and yes, that would be an ackward angle to get at that bolt if you are lying on the ground. The rubber...

    My list - am I forgetting anything?

    I was under the impression that the 19# stock injectors could handle quite a bit if they were fed properly (ie the 190 pump and regulator)? If not, this will drastically increase the cost of this project!

    Which Intake Manifold Holley or Typhoon?

    Used intakes are far and few between right now for some reason, perhaps I am just not looking in the right places, but I don't see anything out there used right now that interests me. On another note, I heard that you port stock lower intakes and claim some very good results from it. I am...

    Which Intake Manifold Holley or Typhoon?

    Ha ha, you had me going there, since that question looked like the exact question I have, and those parts are the same parts I just got, until I figured out who you were and that you were asking the question for me! Thanks, lol. For further clarification, I have been told to go with a 70mm...

    95Brakes--->99+Brakes

    Tonight I am supposed to go help my brother figure out how to replace his calipers on his 95GT with calipers off of a 99/newer Mustang. Evidently the newer ones have 2 pistons as opposed to one or something. Just wondering if anyone could give me a heads up as to what exactly is invloved in...
