    Whats a good Clutch?

    I went with the Ford Racing clutch kit. Some said it would be stiffer and harder to push the clutch in, but actually it's easier and feels better than stock. Hmm! I love it. 25% more capacity than stock is what kit I used. I know some people have a lot more HP than I do and used the king Cobra...

    Engine Rattles on Start Up

    When I first saw your post, I thought possible motor mount about to go. Now that I see what you've said I'm not sure without being there to here it.

    Short Throw shifter comparison

    Howdy all, I'm looking at Short throw shifters. I buy stuff from Ford Racing quite a bit so I"m tempted to get the Ford Racing/Hurst shifter for my 98 stang cobra, stock T45 tranny. MGW is not one that I'm thinking about because I like the stock knob for some reason. So please help me decide...

    Waterpump bypass hose

    What year is your Mustang ? I was also wondering if you have a quality Chiltons manual for your year of Mustang as well. If you don't, I highly recommend picking one up. I wouldn't waste money on a cheap one like haynes, because the detail is not there. Also, Water pumps have an indicator that...

    '03 V6 Automatic w/4.10 gears?

    Yes, you can benefit from the gears, even 3.73 gears and if you plan on spending more time on the highway than the drag strip the 3.73's are a better way to go. No you don't HAVE to go to a Tlok at the same time but it would be advantageous to so because after you put the gears on, you'll be...

    If you have a local custom exaust shop near by, ask them some questions to. I did the custom route myself a while back and it fooled the Ford mechanic. I have a custom true 2 1/2" dual exaust that he installed. Had highflo cats. Has a very deep sound and people think it's a v8. I do have a...

    T-lok needed?

    Yep, you need a tlok and 3.73 gear set that should include a notched cross pin. Don't forget the bottle of friction modifier. I also use synthetic gear oil as well. The 7.5 rear end didn't have a posi rear end. GT's came stock w/them but are 8.8 rear ends. You could get a rear end out of a GT...

    Transmission

    Could be a TR-3650. To make sure I'd call Ford and ask them if you could get the build sheet for your car. I did that with mine and they sent me a build sheet via email. Just have your VIN# ready.

    Magnaflow dual exhaust and GT Bumper

    When it comes to the rear pipes, you may want to take it to a custom shop like I did. I did the true dual exaust thing many moons ago and just went with a complete custom exaust. He welded on really nice chrome ends and did a really great job. Sounds like a V8 as well. That could be due to all...
