    High Torque Starters

    I have an 88 5.0. The starter is shot, I believe from the heat. I have done alot of research and found I can use a starter out of a newer 5.0. I bought a 95 starter with a lifetime warranty today, and want to install it this weekend. I am aware of the rewiring that needs to be done and I got...

    190 kph to 140 mph

    Thanks for the advice. I'll look into it once I get a chance. Is there a fix for this or do I need to get another speedo.

    190 kph to 140 mph

    I can get it later, do you have the part#s I can compare it to until then. I will be p****d if thats the case. Whats the point of putting on a different face?

    190 kph to 140 mph

    I swapped the guts and everything. I got the 140 speedo from a guy that builds cobra kit cars, it was on one of his donor cars. He told me I should only need to put it in, but when I'm going 55mph, the speedo shows around 75mph. I thought there may have been an issue because I was going from kph...

    What tires is everyone running?

    I have Nitto NT555 245/45/17 in front. I like those. Nitto NT555R 285/35/18 in back and I hate them. They are just wearing out fast and throw rocks at my nice paint job. They do not hook up at all, I have stock control arms though. Working on upgrading those and hoping the tires will be better...

    Is it possible to swap a v8 in these?

    Buy a GT. Plus resale would be better on a GT then a V6 to V8 swap anyways. GTs look alot better as well. Just out of curiousity, were you planning on doing this swap yourself, because it is not an easy task for someone with experience, let alone a noobe.

    engine block ?

    I have been holding off on building a motor because of time and money restraints. I'm still in college, for the last 8 years:rlaugh: but i have done alot of research myself. I have a Paxton with 8-10lbs on mostly a stock motor. From what I understand a stock block will hold up to about 500hp...

    190 kph to 140 mph

    So I'm a new guy to the forum, had my mustang since 2001, and I dont think I will ever be done with it. It is a 1988 GT 'canadian car'. It had a 190kph speedo in and I swapped it for a 140 mph. It still reads like it has the other speedo. I believe I need to get it recalibrated but how do I go...

    95 GT Wont idle

    I would recheck your vaccum lines and make sure all mating parts mate right. Sure sounds like it would be a vaccum. Are your lines cracked or weathered? How did you like the intake so far, other than the obvious. I picked up some GT40P heads and am looking for a cheap intake and switch them both...

    Need definitive answers on 5 lug spindles!

    I have 2003 spindles under my 88 with a rear axle out of a turbo coupe. My original plan was to run 17x9 in fornt with 18x10 in back. I bought one of each to see if they fit. Both were too wide. I sent those back and got 17x8 for the front and 18x9 in the back and they worked great, and the car...
