    Do you think stickers on a Fox looks tacky?

    Only sticker I have is a small 3 inch tall classic mustang emblem (running horse with tribars) right at the top of my hatchback glass. I though it was ashame the car didn't come with that emblem anywhere on it, so I had to add it.

    Thinking of getting a 4.6 how reliable are the mod motors?

    What about the automatic trannys, are they pretty reliable? What year did they go from the AODE to the 4R70W?

    Thinking of getting a 4.6 how reliable are the mod motors?

    Yeah that helps for sure. Like I said this will just be a daily driver if I buy it. It won't get modded or raced. I have my 5.0 to beat on.

    Thinking of getting a 4.6 how reliable are the mod motors?

    Cool, any common problems with these models? I have read a few threads about idle problems from the IAC , which I am used to with the 5.0 anyway so no suprise there. What about the cracking intakes? Was that just certain years or what?

    Thinking of getting a 4.6 how reliable are the mod motors?

    I currently have an 87' GT and I just sold my '93 2.3 daily driver. I am thinking of getting an '02-'04 GT. I really don't know much of anything about the 4.6 cars. I know mods are more expensive for the 4.6 vs. the 5.0, but i'm not planning to mod it any, i'm just looking for a good Daily...

    Parts store waterpump ok?

    :D True but the severe thunderstorms and pouring rain that rolled in as I was finishing up my oil change combined with not having a gargae or carport over my head kinda put an end to my wrench turning for the day. :D

    Really quick gauge question

    I'm sure they do. I have never had that series, but I have had autometer sport comps and I now have autometer phantom gauges and they both have twist in bulbs in the back.

    Parts store waterpump ok?

    Probably just a bad pump I guess. It does have a warranty I went and picked up another one a little while ago. I will take the bad one back and get my money. I wish I had time to swap it out myself and then this would be a cheap job, I drove it to the parts store. It doesn't seem to be leaking...

    Parts store waterpump ok?

    I put a new waterpump on my GT about two year ago when I did my timing chain. I noticed this morning while changing my oil that it is leaking some from the weep hole. I bought it at advance , I am just wondering if the chain store pumps are known for not lasting or if I just got a bad one? What...

    U-joints on the Aluminum Driveshaft

    I was wondering if the the u-joints on the Ford Racing aluminum driveshaft or greaseable? I am thinking they are sealed and you can't grease them , but I can't remember for sure and figured asking you guys would be easier than jacking the car up and climbing underneath to check. :D I have...

    Which oil weight?

    10W-30, 10W-40 , or 20W-50 will all work fine depending on your needs and the shape th engine is in. I would try 10W-30 first and if the oil pressure is a little low in the heat or it consumes a bit to much then you will know to step up a weight.

    TEMP GAUGE WAY UP!! car running great though.

    Since the engine is newly installed, burbing the system from air is probably going to be the thing to do. But I once changed my intake gaskets on my GT and the temp gauge was working fine before. As soon as I cranked the car it pegged the gauge to the top. I don;t know what happened to the...
