    Replacing a few sensors, have a few questions...

    Also clean the idle air valve. Take it apart, spray w/carb cleaner, do NOT scrape it with anything hard, blow dry. Auto zone Bosch 02 sensors are good. oemfordparts.com for discounts on genuine ford parts, you need to give them the part #

    How can i put a AODE in my 1990 GT Vert?

    I'm getting close to swapping an 00 V6 4R for my 89 AOD. Have done a bunch of research. The 99-up V6 4R is the best one to use. The 4.2 unit out of light trucks w/4.2 V6 is the same internals as the mod motor V8 trannys. The 3.8 Mustang 4R just has one less direct clutch plate than the...

    install catback w/o car off ground

    Here's one thing I found that really helps when working with exhaust. Goes in easier, and comes apart REAL easy without ruining anything! http://www.lincolnsonline.com/article91.html The clamps are what makes it easy. I cut my over axle pipes behind the axle and clamped with these clamps...

    Wiing Diagrams!?!?!?!?1!?!?

    For vacuum or wiring diagrams, I've found them in the local library in the big Chilton type manuals, and you can usually photocopy what you need right at the library. I bought a kit off ebay for like $30 and converted mine to MA. Works like a charm, not hard to do. Something like United...

    will an shift cable from a 95 AODE work on my AOD??

    Just FYI http://www.lincolnsonline.com/article111.html http://www.lincolnsonline.com/article80.html or get a 4.2 V6 4R70W out of a 99-up light truck which will bolt right to your Windsor, or a 3.8V6 out of a Mustang and add the one extra direct clutch disc to bring it up to specs...

    Wheel LOCKS!!!!!

    If you're not worried about the locks, take off any protruding center caps and get a small pipe wrench. Works well.

    Edelbrock heads

    One thing I know to check would be whether it's got soft or hard shims under the springs. I bought an early set used and had to change them out to hardened shims - I got them at Summit, same diameter & thickness as what was under the springs. Some people have put hardened spring cups under...

    New Cobra Replica intake made in China?!!

    AMEN! As a working American, I simply worry about the practical effects of sending all our hard earned money overseas to a competitive, growing economy that could be eating our lunch in a few short years. I figure that if I buy American when I can, and if enuf people do that instead of...

    Typhoon Intakes??? Junk???

    It's too bad that we have to buy everything from China nowdays - especially when they're ripping off designs that were originally American. If we quite buying stuff made in America, pretty soon nobody's going to have a job MAKING any stuff in America. Then we won't be able to afford anything.

    28 oz 351W flexplate for AOD/E - 4R70W??

    I had thought the 5.8's only came with the E40D. I looked again in both Autozone and O'Reilly's online catalogues, and they do list 3 diff trans for 5.8 pickups - the E40D, the C6, and the AODE. (They're maybe confusing the 4R and /E). Thanks!!

    28 oz 351W flexplate for AOD/E - 4R70W??

    Kinda long - sorry. For my warmed up 351, I would like to replace my AOD with a later 4R70W, but so far can't find a 28 oz flexplate for an /E or 4R. Found out there are basically 2 size lockup converters. The larger 12" (which was used with 302's) is only good to about 5400 rpm...

    Cold air filter box for filter that bolts onto meter

    Does anyone make a cold air box for a system where the mass air meter has a 4 bolt filter that bolts up to it like the pro-m "shorty" meters instead of a flange for a hose to go thru the stock filter box opening? Thanks

    help with AOD build PLEASE!

    Well, here's a bunch of info I've worked up doing lots of research and doing my own upgrades. Since I wrote this, I've found that my Baumann kit is likely the cause of low rpm downshifts which I'm not really happy with, which has been corroborated by other Baumann kit users. Still...

    .060 Over 351?

    From what I know, I'd agree with the machine shop. Especially when going a longer stroke which puts more side load on the pistons, and more compression also. At 060 that thinwall casting will get pretty flexy, causing excessive pressure loss past the rings.
