    Nothing positive about the GT-40 Intake?

    It's old technology, but it still works great for what it is. It'll work awesome with a blower.

    12.5-13# oil pressure @ hot idle??

    With 5-30, mine runs around 15psi at hot idle. Cruise is 50+.

    i hate threads like this but...

    With the TFS package, you should be going a lot faster than a high 13! LOL!

    Rebulding Tranny. Best Flywheel/Clutch For MY Car

    Longtubes will create more torque over shorties. They'll also give you a better exhaust tone. Quieter at idle/cruise and louder at wide open throttle. With the tranny out, the bellhousing/starter will not be an issue, and you may have to remove the passenger side motor mount and lift the...

    Rebulding Tranny. Best Flywheel/Clutch For MY Car

    I like my CF dual friction.. works and feels great.

    i'm fearing the gear......reassurance needed

    Ya OK.. bad comparison. Either way, nearly everyone here is talking about cruising under 3k - there is nothing to worry about.

    i'm fearing the gear......reassurance needed

    I agree as well.. big time. I'm running a 4spd with 3.73's and I turn over 3k at 60+mph - i'm not too worried about it, it's not going to hurt the motor. Lots of oil pressure and normal maintenance, why worry? Look at european cars, they cruise at over 3k all day long. Fuel consumption will...

    It takes skill, but it's not a sport. Belongs in the circus..

    No Spark car wont start...

    Make sure your distributor is not damaged. Mine did this earlier this summer.. cruising along and it died, cranks but does not start. I replaced the TFI and the coil (had a blaster 3 waiting to be isntalled) and no luck.. turns out something inside the distributor was broken. Threw a junkyard...

    Swap to beefier 5-speed, or up to a 6-speed?

    Stock Mustangs came with "world class" T5's after a certain year.. 85 I think it was. 6 speed would be sweet!

    Checking TPS Voltage?

    Stick a needle in the black wire, and another needle in the green wire (coming out of the TPS). Your positive (red) lead should be held onto the needle coming out of the green wire, and the negative (black) lead should be held onto the needle sticking out of the black wire. Then you select volts...

    Checking TPS Voltage?

    Two sewing needles work good, then you can use them as contacts for the multimeter.

    Mains are gone what to do?

    If your going through all this trouble.. why not spend the money on bearings and rings instead of an explorer motor? They are no stronger or better than a Mustang motor, unless your keeping the stock heads and intake (essentially GT40). Have the cranke turned, throw some bearings and rings in...

    Mains are gone what to do?

    Not sure on compression.. I don't think they are 10:1 though. The main difference is the camshaft. The explorers came with a non-HO cam, like crown vics etc.. where the Mustang motor has the HO cam in it.

    are long tubes headers hard to put on?

    Not just the starter, I should have mentioned the bellhousing.

    are long tubes headers hard to put on?

    My drivers side header came up from the bottom without a hitch, but the passenger side was tight between the firewall and the starter mostly.. had to lift the engine to get it to fit.
