    Fan sensor temperature...

    at what temperature does the fan come on? My gf's has 96 stang with a 99 v6 ati-procharged built motor with a 96 computer + chip for 99 mods, so its pretty much a frankenstein. After she had someone put whiteface gauges the temp gauge needle was removed and not put back on properly, so its...

    rear seat delete

    just take the rear seat out and delete it. Then take a hammer and break out the V that supports the rear seat if you have a notch... it has no structural value since its only held in with 2 lil tiny spotwelds... it looks much cleaner afterwards. Also remove the seatbelts. Dont bother putting...

    brakes

    switching to a more aggressive brake pad type will also help with braking. Using a carbon metallic pad will not fade as much as a typical ceramic pad, but will be more abrasive to the rotor and because it is metallic COULD break some sqeals after you lay on em a couple times. I had a set of...

    Will my tranny hang with a 5.0

    it will hold up to normal driving but would probably break if you were to powershift it. torque is what actually breaks the tranny. not to mention the gear ratio's in a 2.3 T5 are sooo much higher than in a 5.0 T5... your 5.0 in first gear will probably be VERY useless... either spinning the...

    8.8" Axle

    :bang: you CAN buy a 7.5" track-lock for your car but you can pickup a full 8.8" rear end and gears for probably cheaper. And you'll have a rear end that your 2.3 could never break...

    8.8" Axle

    7.5" and 8.8" pinion spline is the same, the driveshafts are interchangable. The only difference is the size of the pinion and ring gear. The 8.8" brakes do NOT line up on a 2.3L equipped car. Reason being that the brake line is on the wrong side of the car. Just remove the brake lines from...

    Switching gears faster on auto

    if you manually shift the A4LD it will end up like this: the a4ld is NOT a tranny that likes to be abused and is insanely expensive to rebuild. do yourself a favor and start collecting t5 swap parts. the process isnt very difficult, just time consuming. you'll either thank me or ill...

    8.8 rear end on a 2.3L???

    mustang 7.5" rear ends dont have t-lock... however the carrier can be removed and the LSD installed. Since all 2.3 and v6 mustangs came with 7.5" rear ends, FRPP created a 7.5" t-lock just for us without the need to swap out the whole rear end... T-lock for 7.5 rear end M-4204-C75 $168.95

    Pedal assemblies...

    are pedal assemblies from 87-93 mustangs compatible with SN95's? I am looking for a manual pedal assembly for a 1996 v6 mustang for a T5 swap... they're few and far to find... 87-93's are plentiful... they look VERY similar when I t5 swapped my 1989...

    what are the differences in 4cyl and 5oh t5's?

    I put a steel front bearing retainer on my 4cyl T5... i think yer all on crack about the front bearing being a different size... :shrug: The casing is the EXACT same for all Borg Warner ford spec T5's... from 4 cyl to cobra... hence you could take a 4 cyl T5 and send it to g-force and they'd...

    8.8 rear end on a 2.3L???

    I had a 8.8" with 3.73's on my old 2.3... the only performance gain is that with a trak-lock u now have to spin 2 tires, making a stock 2.3 NA virtually impossible to break the tires loose. So it helps your launch... but affects your "cool level" hehe. I didnt seem to have a problem with a...

    Can i use a 140 guage Cluster?

    *sigh*... i swapped my 1989 with a 1993 5.0 140mph cluster. It took a couple hours and a LOT of work. First of, you're going to have to change just about EVERY pin in the wiring harness... secondly you're going to have to splice into the harness to move wires from one side of the cluster to...

    It "ran" good, but just broke.

    on that short 2" cable there are 2 totaly different ends... one has just a ball, and the other has the ball AND a little extra around the cable for protection. The protected side goes into the clutch fork and the other regular side goes into the little U bracket. if you assemble incorrectly...

    throwout bearing squealing?

    on my old 2.3 I forgot to lube the front bearing retainer and the TOB was chattering on it... spraying it with some lube helped, but then i started having to do it like every oil change... annoying as hell... :notnice:
