    Engine Slight hesitation/surge while driving

    I'm having a similar issue with my '86 Capri; just off idle solid miss-sounds like a rowdy cam, but it smooths out once you get around 1800 ish RPM and revs up cleanly past that...working my way through the checklist over the past few days. I did the EFI swap on my 84 GT about 15 years ago from...

    88' 4 Cylinder With 302 Swapped

    Other fairly inexpensive things to do, especially if you plan on ever taking it to the track, or just plenty of sprited driving would be chassis stiffening. Foxes are known for flexing...a lot. Get some f/l subs and have all the torque boxes welded and reinforced. F/l subs are usually about...

    4V4I

    Hey all, Rick sent me a message the other day asking for an update since I fell off the radar-sorry about that fellas. After my last post about a year ago, I had a bunch of crap come up at once, then in late November, I was notified of a PCS to Hawaii, so that's where I'm at now. If any of you...

    Carb Help

    Now, I don't want to be guy to take away ones opportunity to get some tech help, but this thread is in the wrong place I think...probably should be under 5.0 tuning... edit: that being said, I found something in one of your replies (power valve) that may help me out with some fine tuning on...

    Five Lug Conversion Question.

    Unless you wanna massage the rear wheel houses, try to stay inside of about 6" backspace on the rear, and about 5.5" on the front...you can get away with more, but you gotta use rack limiters to keep the tires from rubbing on the skirts and stuff...also, I'm sure you already figured this out...

    Possible Engine/trans Swap Ideas For 1989 5.0 Convertible

    Can't say that I've ever seen the ZF tranny installed in a Fox, but the 351 would be a good swap...just run a search and you'll find scads of articles...

    4V4I

    Well, I degreed everything, the numbers on that right side intake (F6LE) were the same as the left side intake (F6ZE). Same duration @ 0.006", same at 0.050", and same max lift, same lobe center. So, I have NO idea what the hell happened during that run of engines, but the seller told me his...

    4V4I

    No, the tightness issue has been resolved...just needed more lube :D However, I ran into another snag. I bought that set of B cams from a fella on here, and he swears up and down the cams were pulled straight from a never-opened '97 Cobra engine. I have no legitimate reason to disbelieve the...

    4V4I

    Well, yes and no...I have the long block ready for degreeing, but I have an ever-growing honey do list. I also discovered the B cams I bought...well, one of them wasn't a B cam, so I'm trying to get that issue rectified before I continue. I can degree one side, but not the other :( Bought a...

    Will Coyote 6 Speed Work In Old School 5.0's?

    No, I didn't check it-again, I didn't concern myself with it...not in my build-thought it was an interesting idea. But if I buy a new Mustang, I'd be more inclined to know more about it. Anyway, have a good night.

    Will Coyote 6 Speed Work In Old School 5.0's?

    And those are all options for you...no one poo-poo'd your choices...what it sounded like to me from the get-go was purely spitballing. I can't speak to any of the issues with the new 6 speed...not in my build, so I don't concern myself with it. Xp, I know what you mean by being a realist...

    Will Coyote 6 Speed Work In Old School 5.0's?

    I can appreciate that you're playing devil's advocate, but you're borderline negative nancy...yeah, so there's only two years worth of production runs so far, but it's not like there's T56s in great abundance right now either, and people swap those in disregarding the price because they want a 6...

    88 Mustang V8 Swap, Rebuild, Or Give Up?

    Proud to serve-thank you 95vert is correct-a missing/damaged fan shroud will make a difference in cooling-especially if you're in slow traffic-same for the clutch fan if you're still using one. T-stats don't open up all the way, but they should open a noticeable amount to allow fluid flow...

    Will Coyote 6 Speed Work In Old School 5.0's?

    Well, SNs were really only upgraded Fox chassis with only minor differences. Even with 373s, I never broke 2500 at 80 with a 26.5" tire. If tuned conservatively, even those rpms aren't that bad for mileage unless you're shooting for beyond 22 (that's what my blown 5.0 could do on long trips)...
