    84 SVO: Any advantage to go with Mass Air Flow system instead Speed Density ?

    That looks very much like a stock fuel pressure regulator, 95psi is way too high for stock. I don't recall the exact figures but I think it's around 35-45psi at idle with vacuum disconnected. Bad FPR?

    I know how you feel about the T5, it looks like I might be going C4 instead. I think I might have my hands on a 2.0 C4 bell and tranny. It'll be so much cheaper to build up the C4 than it would be to build up a T5. I like to shift, but with the power output I'm planning for, the C4 is...

    Explorer alumnium radiator install pictures

    I've had this radiator tied in with rope for the past few weeks so I could see how well it works. Well, since I've installed it I haven't had to run my electric fan at all. I just finished bolting it in for good and thought I'd share some pictures of this huge radiator. <a...

    84 SVO: Any advantage to go with Mass Air Flow system instead Speed Density ?

    I have essentially a stock 2.3L out of an 86 T-bird. I'm even running the PC1 computer. I'm running injectors from a 2.2L Turbo Dodge, mainly because I got them for free, at 55psi (the original operating pressure). Anyways I have my boost regulator set a 20psi and have no fueling issues. As...

    info wanted on the dohc volvo head swap

    I'm going to be running a double plug head here really soon. The bowls around the intake valve are much better than the turbo head. I still need to measure the head's chamber to see if I need to cut the pistons a bit to keep the compression down. The problem with this head is that it uses a...

    Well, the C3 and 2.8 are long gone. I have a Fuel Injected Boosted 2.3 in there now with a *cough, cough* RAD-4 (need a T5 badly).

    Rear end options

    From MustangII.org I guess I have an 8" already. Damn, and all this time researching an upgrade was wasted. Now I should figure out what gears I have and get some discs on there :).

    Rear end options

    You know, all this time I've been ASSuming that I had a 6.75 because the car was an original 6cyl. I was doing some research and read that I might have an 8" in there already. Here's a couple of pictures of what I have. I'm going to keep looking for pictures of 6.75" and 8" rear ends to see...

    Rear end options

    So what can I find a 8" t-loc unit in? I haven't picked up the 7.5 yet. I just realized that there are quite a few Bronco II's at the junk yard. I'm not against going with an 8". It turns out that my friend is going to be reusing his 8" in a Tempest he's building up so I don't have the...

    Rear end options

    So, looks like I'm getting a 7.5" w/ Trac Loc and 3.45 gears for pretty cheap. It's out of an early 80's Mustang GT (before they started putting 8.8's back there). A lot of Merkur guys around here are running 7.5" rear end's and putting down about 450-500hp with IRS setups. I think it'll hold...

    Rear end options

    So I got my II back on the road finally, put about 100 miles on it yesterday just driving it around. I'm keeping the boost at 10psi right now until I get a better tranny and rear end. I currently have a RAD-4 (I think that's what it's called) and the 6.xx rear end that came stock with my...

    Desperate need of front sump oil pan

    Thanks, I found one of those before. That pan costs almost 1/4 of what I have into the car total! But it's a nice last resort, thanks for looking!

    Desperate need of front sump oil pan

    Well, we got the weld welded back up, added more material to (hopefully) make it stronger, but during this process the plug area got a little un-true. So now it leaks out of the oil plug. I'm not having any luck at all with this pan. The plug is right at the crease of the side and bottom...

    4 Mustang II parts cars

    Hello, I'm in desperate need of a front sump 2.3L oil pan. Long story short the weld broke and I don't want to chance it again. If you have a good 2.3L oil pan I would LOVE to have it. Email, PM or leave a message here, whatever you prefer.

    Desperate need of front sump oil pan

    I'm in desperate need of a front sump 2.3L oil pan. I'm using one from a Pinto now, but the junk yard always punches a hole in them to drain the oil. I had it welded but the torque of tightening and loosening the drain plug broke the weld. Can anyone help?

    Fuel Cell Pictures?

    I'm going to need to either have my stock tank cut open and have baffles welded in, or go with a fuel cell. I was wondering what you guys have installed in terms of a fuel cell? I have an aluminum Taylor battery box mounted in the trunk already. This car will see a lot of track and street...

    Pull motor leave tranny.

    Ok, it came out just fine, nothing special about the clutch setup. Thanks for the help.

    Pull motor leave tranny.

    So I've built my 78 Mustang II completely myself, but it was my first manual car. I installed the clutch and tranny after the motor was in. I need to pull the motor to fix some oil pan problems that I tried to fix 2x already without removing the motor. I'd like to avoid removing the...

    8.8 axle swap revisit

    74ProII, you said you had rear coil-overs? Can I see a picture please? Does this do away with the leaf springs? Was it a bolt in kit or fabrication? I need to upgrade my rear diff soon, it's a stock unit from a 2.8 MII. My 2.3Turbo should break it soon...
