    Progress Thread Oregon Pace Car Story to Coolness

    Wrong. You need 100 posts to sell PARTS. Not CARS. You can sell a car with zero posts. If you don't want to wait to get 100 posts to sell parts, pay $5 and get 30 days to sell parts.

    F1SEBB block?

    Neither the engineering number F1SE nor the date code will tell you what the engine is "out of." That engineering number is a common 1991+ block that was used in 91-95 Mustangs, 91-93 Thunderbird and Cougars, 91-97 trucks and vans, boats, etc. The date code is when the block was cast at the...

    Engine Do I have a 302 or 302 HO??

    Mark VII did not get H.O. 5.0L until 1987, and not all of them in 1987 had it. Some still had the S.O. 5.0L in 1987. H.O. 5.0L came in.. 1982-86 Mercury Capri* 1982-95 Ford Mustang* 1987-92 Lincoln Mark VII 1991-93 Mercury Cougar 1991-93 Ford Thunderbird *1982-84 carb, and 1984-85 CFI, H.O...

    Why is it Fox Body?

    I stopped trying to get people to not call them "foxbody" 25 years ago. Another stupid term from magazines. Ford got the "Fox" codename from Audi....the Audi Fox.

    Question about 85/86 notchback rareity?

    From the small cross-section of samples that I have to compare to those numbers, about half of them are wrong. Just in the 1985 model year alone the 1B SVO number is wrong and the SVO total is worng, but the rest of the SVO numbers are correct. And the total 5.0L coupe (P26M) number is wrong...

    Identifying 302 Block

    As has already been posted, F1SE block is 1991+ vintage. If the shortblock is factory it could be H.O. or S.O. By 1991 there were four vehicles that used that H.O. 5.0L engine: Mustang (1991-1995), Cougar (1991-1993), Thunderbird (1991-1993), Mark VII (1991-1992). All the rest of the vehicles...

    Engine My Foxbody Firing order is different

    E6SE heads were used on H.O. engines in 1986 (Capri and Mustang only) and non-H.O. engines. That head alone is not a good enough indication what the whole engine is or isn't.

    What's Your Opinion On LED Headlight Bulbs

    An LED bulb in a reflector housing is not going to be "more focused" than a halogen bulb is. The 'hot spot' is going to be in the same place. The light scatter is going to be the same. It's all just going to be brighter with LED, or an HID bulb for that matter. A projector, which will have a...

    What's Your Opinion On LED Headlight Bulbs

    LED or HID do not belong in a housing meant for halogen bulbs unless you do a proper retrofit, with a NON-fluted lense. Period. Reflector housings scatter the light all around in the first place. LED and or HID is just a brighter light scatter. Put a goddamn retrofit projector in a...

    Engine 1986 GtT running eye-burning rich

    Did you get the right plugs? Do you know for sure that you have stock (E6SE) heads? Those heads were one-year-only (1986) on the Mustang and they had special plugs as well (AWSF42C, not ASF42C from every other year). Did you put the plugs back in the correct (counter-clockwise) firing order...

    Engine My Foxbody Firing order is different

    E6SE heads can be H.O. or non-H.O. The only H.O. that used that head was the 1986 Capri and Mustang 1985 5.0L/4V Mustang used E5AE heads, not E5TE

    Mustang off the line number

    So it's 88 (42E) for the day, not 88 Mustangs for the day

    Mustang off the line number

    Ford has, in their production database, the 'day built' for each unit. That date is on Marti reports. Ford does not have the order in which units were built each day. The assembly line does not build units in the order of the VIN but that is what these reports and certificates use to make up...

    Mustang off the line number

    Those reports are old school. Like going back 15-20 years, before Marti reports were available for 1979 and later Mustangs. If you remember 'Third Generation National Registry' (the now defunct website thirdgenerationnewsandbeyond dot com) you'll know what these are. Stewart Jones was an MCA...

    Mustang off the line number

    It's not from Marti Auto Works because they know very well that that info (#___ of ___ that day) is not even known by Ford, so they don't know it either and don't put that garbage on their reports. It's probably a 'Stew Jones' report, which isn't available any more. Below is a sample of what...
