    Exhaust leak (I searched)

    jderheim the swap is simple and easy it should only take a weekend to do. There are only a couple of changes you need to do such as the fuel rails (needs to be swap for your old one), you need to drill and tap a new hole on the intake manifold (i have the drill and tap for sale). Plus the power...

    Exhaust leak (I searched)

    I recently installed a 2004 GT motor in my 1996 mustang but I have a bad exhaust leak. Basically I left the stock manifolds (2004) and used my UPR-X pipe (the one i used on my 96) and I noticed that the Driver side has an exhaust leak. It seems that the X-pipe flange is to big!:mad: :bang: Is...

    Oil leaking

    Yeah tell me about it. I also found a 98 Cobra Motor with harness for really cheap (1100) is it worth it going though all the hassle? It does not have ac compressor, power steering pump, basically its just has the crank and water pulley are any part interchangable(sp?)?

    Oil leaking

    Yesterday I started my car by rolling the vehicle and poping the clutch anyway it back fired and it blew the intake manifold. Also its dropping oil; does the intake carry oil by any chance? The oil splatter is by the back of the engine where the manifold broke. Any suggestions??:shrug:
