    Keep the 289 or go for the 302?

    I found that by the time I bought the kit, bought a block, paid for the machine work for the stroker kit to fit that it is just about as cheap to have them send you a shortblock assembled and balanced and blueprinted. And it will be a new block. I was going to buy a rebuilder for a 100 or 200...

    Car stops when hot

    I would say its a fuel problem. Hook an inline fuel pressure gage after the fuel pump and before the carb. When it starts running rough, check to see if the pressure is as high as when it is running good. Mechanical pumps can act like that if the pump is weak. Are you running electric? I went...

    05 vert caught on the street!

    Maybe I'm blind but that middle pic top looks way to raggedy and the lower one looks colored on with two different shades of black and the lines to straight. And whats that big white spot on the top of the lower photo? Looks like someone missed a spot. :shrug: Hard to believe Ford would screw...

    06 Cobra vs 06 Saleen

    Hard to say. Does the Cobra have forged steel crankshaft and rods and forged pistons? And its not all about the motor with the Saleen. Even so, I would not pay that much for a saleen. I could buy a new C6 Vette, and have a chunk leftover for mods.

    The best news we could get beofre the 05 bows

    Trouble is, the BMW's and such are not hurting them, the Asian market cars are. And the report said American models still have 50% more problems than their Asian competition. Long ways to go.

    06 Cobra vs 06 Saleen

    S-281E base price= $61,120 with 445hp. Two valve or four makes little difference as there are people with 2v running 8's these days. The saleen does have forged steel crankshaft, rods and aluminum pistons and heads and alot of other trick saleen stuff. The S281 supercharged base price is 43,322...

    2006 GT500 Mustang

    Some of these salesmen know more than you think, and alot of the talk is hype that they know is BS. But it works on a lot of people to stir up excitement about the new release. As for the guy with his 68 boss 302, maybe he had a 69 and has not been involved with the hobby like us since, so a...

    What do you guys think of this?

    I agree, Summit has a good looking pair as well for $200 apiece. Has lumbar and shoulder supports and has the holes for shoulder harnesses. Can't attest to the comfort yet, but I will be able to soon. Also, I had a 90 GT for 7 years, and those seats are lacking in support and comfort. If your...

    CAN'T GET ANY GEARS

    Car up on four jackstands, a decent floorjack, and you should have that tranny out in about 10 minutes. Seems easier than pulling motor back out. Anyway, what I meant about the pressure plate was that you said it was cheap, so sometimes quality is not good. Lots of cheap parts are supposedly...

    CAN'T GET ANY GEARS

    Could be the problem there. Too weak of a pressure plate maybe. Still sounds like a problem with the clutch and pressure plate. Clutch not being disengaged enough under the load of the moving car to shift properly. Can you run through the gears at an idle? BTW, why do you keep referencing...

    CAN'T GET ANY GEARS

    Can you run it through the gears with the car shut off ? If the tranny was working fine before, and now its not, you have to look at what work was done. Tranny itself should not be the problem. Maybe you got the wrong pressure plate. Usually the pressure plate won't bolt up if you have the...

    05 Stang vs. 04 GTO?

    Lets do real world price comparing, not msrp. Mach 1's can be had in Houston and other places for 22k to 23k. Are GTO's being discounted that much? Left over 03 Cobra's are discounting by 5k in Houston and more in some states according to people on this board. Again, are GTO's being discounted...

    Help choose which motor I should use...

    I would get my own place first. Way more chick action that way than living at home and having a nice car.

    Floor pan question

    I just cut mine out with an air chisel. The pans were so thin, they came out pretty easy.

    Got it!

    That is not rare as all are mounted behind the firewall. Now if it was mounted in front of the firewall.... Congrats on the purchase and way to go on the cash offer. Sounds like a good deal on a nice car. :nice:
