    Build Thread 1978 Mercury Cyclone. The pig is in the pen.

    I don't remember you asking... Last time I can tell that I was on here was in OCT, and was on page 7. Since OCT, I"ve been setting up a new house in FL, and up to my eyeballs trying to get my 67 done in time to go to Charlotte. Got about 10 days, if I'm going to make it to Norman to start...

    I've been gone for a while. 21 pages on this thread and you're not done yet? OK, what did I miss?

    Engine O2 Sensor Question

    Thanks for the clarification! I missed the whole Fox body era, so I didn't get to play with these like I did the first gen cars, and now the modern ones. I'm having to learn Fox -era tuning on the fly while building my 67. You guys are a huge help! Stangnet FTW!

    Engine O2 Sensor Question

    So if I'm replacing o2 sensors can I just order the "wide band o2 sensors" now, and add the gauges/ data management stuff later? Will "wide band sensors" operate in lieu of the stock o2 sensors, or do I need both? Will wide band sensors hook up to the stock sensors harness locations?

    Engine O2 Sensor Question

    Replacing the O2 sensors (car is 67 Mustang, engine is 91 5.0, no smog, stock computer, harness, etc, long tube headers). Not going to be doing any tuning immediately (donor car was tuned to match the TF HCI kit and stroker kit), but don't want to be replacing parts again if I want to tune...

    Engine Help A Dummy Out! Pcv Valve Plumbing Question

    Thanks for the quick reply. Was looking to simplify wherever possible; but at the same time I need to get this done in less than 2 weeks, so I don't want to introduce more problems by modifying where not necessary.

    Engine Help A Dummy Out! Pcv Valve Plumbing Question

    Dumb question #2: What does this do? I don't have a filler cap or neck yet for my car (running TF valve covers), but why would I want atmospheric pressure air from inside the valve cover feeding into my throttle body? Is this an emissions control function of some sort? Wouldn't it make more...

    Engine Help A Dummy Out! Pcv Valve Plumbing Question

    In a hurry to finish the build of my 67 convertible restomod for the 50th in Charlotte. Running a 5.0 from a 91 LX, with TF intake, heads, no EGR system, no smog anything. I have the PCV valve installed in the back of the lower intake. There's two connections on the valve. Where do they...

    What Gears Do I Need?

    Gear swap isn't going to fix your problem, and may make it worse. You need to work on tightening up your rear suspension.

    Oh, wow, we get to vote on color?! Now that I know what Mike looks like (or was that a pic of the single, buxom, fun-loving blonde who loves fast cars and walks in the moonlight, that answered your C-list connections ad?)- I'm tempted to go with a two-tone pink exterior, to soften the harsh...

    Build Thread 1978 Mercury Cyclone. The pig is in the pen.

    So, does that mean you've already made one order of fittings, and this is for all the stuff you missed, or got backwards? Or, are you claiming that you can "one-and-done" order all the fittings to plumb a complete system? Because if it's the second, and you can actually do it, that's more...

    Need Advice On Gear Choice, Please Help!!

    We can help you more if you tell us what you're trying to accomplish. Are you building a 1/4 mile car? Daily driver, with lots of highway commute miles? Stop-light terror? FWIW, there's charts out there where you can put in your gear ratio, rear tire diameter, trans gearing, etc, and it'll...

    Tuning After Gears For Noob

    Gears alone won't cause you to need a "dyno tune." I'm not sure if you'll see sufficient performance gains from your exhaust work to warrant an aftermarket tune. You need a tune when you add enough performance modifications that the stock tune will no longer run the (now modified) engine...

    Which Performance Brand Would You Pick?

    Agree with Sparta: Depends on what you're looking for. Lots of good brands out there, but some are better than others in specific categories (ie, suspension, induction, exhaust, etc). Too hard to answer your question; it's too broad.

    Mustang Related (not Fox)

    Relatively easy repair, as stated above. I didn't know the battery tray was in the way for a aluminum radiator swap; I never put mine back in the 67, as I'm doing a battery relocate anyway. I did order the full SVE aluminum radiator kit for the Fox body, got a great deal for radiator, hoses...

    Pinion Seal Replacement

    Definitely drain and replace. Depending on how hard you drive it, I'd consider running a higher end gear oil (I use Royal Purple).

    ZOMG! That screams "Fairmont dash!" It's retro, yet high-tech. I'd say he got in your head Mike.

    I've been off here for almost a month. It's good to get caught up, to find out that Mike has... a yellow car on blocks. It's like Groundhog Day. OK, now that I've contributed my ration of s hit, as Mike likes to type it, let me just say: I'm impressed. My Shelby with the 295s I just...

    Sn95 Vs Fox

    Ah, now I get it. Forgot all about that. Good thing Mom's Pinto wagon never got rear-ended while we were doing the cross-country road trip when I was 7. Had the seat folded down and I slept and played in the back the whole way. :eek:

    Did he fart? Why are the flames coming from the rear, and blowing forward?
