    The Tragic Tale of ElSuperPinto

    No takers? Fan - 30 amps peak MSD ignition - 10 amps peak MSD Atomic EFI - 30 amps peak Misc. - 5 amps? 10? On a hot day, when everything was working the hardest, I was drawing around 45-50 amps with the engine running BEFORE the cooling fan would kick in. That fan takes a lot of amps to get...

    The Tragic Tale of ElSuperPinto

    I figured out what the root of the problem with the EFI was when the cooling fan melted down that fuse. @IICrew will have already figured it out from that clue.

    The Tragic Tale of ElSuperPinto

    The doctor I had pulled no punches, three IV antibiotics for four days and two oral antibiotics for four more. They also cut out the pimple itself, which was on my stomach, to get to the root of it. They were doing blood tests three times a day to monitor kidney function and to make sure they...

    The Tragic Tale of ElSuperPinto

    Sold the 4.6 Mark VIII engine to a guy that wanted the short block for his Marauder, but was willing to buy the whole bundle of parts. I spent four days in the hospital last week because a pimple got infected with MRSA. That was fun. ElSuperPinto sits quietly, waiting it's turn behind the...

    How much power can a 94 GT make if you don't change the look of the engine?

    https://www.fastdrags.com/modern-muscle-rules The only way this thread makes ANY sense. What he's trying to do, for any other reason, is foolishness. Now, if he's trying to make an SN-95 car competitive in the class, I wish him the best of luck. It'd almost be as hard as making a Mustang II...

    How much power can a 94 GT make if you don't change the look of the engine?

    Even better would be to get one of those plastic mock-up engines and use it. It'd be far easier to work with, and take a couple hundred pounds off the nose. Could use a Raspberry Pi attached to a potentiometer and the engine noise simulator speaker from a BMW i8 to make it sound like a real...

    Fox Body Market

    Mustang prices in general are up. Running/driving V8 Mustang IIs used to be $1000 all day. Now they're $5000+ asking. Even the 2.3 and 2.8 cars have come up from triple digits to $2500 or more. Cobras and Kings in running/driving condition are around $10k to start and go up from there depending...

    The Tragic Tale of ElSuperPinto

    I need to sit down and do the hard math. The smaller condenser could either be a major problem, or a non-issue given that the compressor runs at a constant speed instead of varying speeds like an engine-driven unit. Electrically, you're right, 100 amps will likely not be enough, but there are...

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09GP9RNYZ/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_2?smid=AEEGEYPKQAKY0&psc=1 I have a 100-amp alternator on my list of planned upgrades for the II, as well as A/C. The only electric A/C systems I've worked with have been the high voltage systems on BMW and Hyundai hybrids. If...

    Progress Thread Foxbody spare tire

    Mine's not a fox, but it shares the bolt pattern and I'm running fox-body wheels. I run a full-size Chinese replica pony wheel with a full size tire for a spare. If I'm headed to the track, it takes less than a minute to remove it. Driving a street car without a spare is stupid.

    Engine 87-93 Stock Alternator woes

    Alternators straight from the fox-body experts: https://lmr.com/products/79-93-Mustang-Alternators-Components As far as re-clocking an alternator voiding the warranty on a parts-store rebuild, it shouldn't. Hell, we used to re-clock them for the customer right there in the store if all we had...

    The Tragic Tale of ElSuperPinto

    If anyone was wondering about that Chinese-made Mustang II radiator sold on eBay... It's damned good... Hell, it's effin fantastic. It has been 105+ degrees every day this week except today, when it was 102. I hadn't driven the II in a couple weeks, so I decide to drive it home for lunch. It's...

    Yeah, I'm very happy with the current engine. My plans for it at this point are to pull it out, clean it, paint it, rebuild the motor mounts and replace the oil pan gasket and drop the whole thing back in. Then I have a lot of shopping to do...

    That's just about every Ford V6 design. (Okay, okay, just the Essex and the Duratec/Cyclone/Ecooboost, but it is common to BOTH of their most plentiful V6 engines.)

    They made a lot of 2.3 convertibles. I had an '88 LX convertible with the 2.3 and A4LD. Great car, I miss it more than my '87 GT 5.0 convertible.
