    83 exhaust questions

    Hey Hissing, Did you put the crossmember hanger in also? I am in the middle of an exhaust swap and am confused as to which way the hanger is supposed to face.

    17x9 front with coilovers

    I have some AFS wheels on mine with 275/40/17 and they rubbed some of the coils (tires did). I had to put spacers behind the wheels and got rid of the rub, but dont like how it pushed the wheel out and made it rub and tear up the fender extensions. Now looking to get new rims and change to...

    85 mph cluster to 140 mph cluster swap

    Until then check the tag on the rear that is in the car against the donor rear. If the one in the car is a 7.5 from a 4cyl it more than likely has 3:55 gears. If that is the case all you need to do is find the correct speedo gear and swap it. Real simple to do. I just don't remember where to...

    85 mph cluster to 140 mph cluster swap

    Did the transmission come out of the 93 as well? It could be that you have the wrong speedo gear in the tranny. Other than that there should be no reason (that I can think of) for it to run faster than the speed you are going. The speedo cable has nothing to do with that.

    5.0 clutch pedals or 4cyl clutch pedals

    That is surprising. My Steeda quadrant fit just fine on my 4cyl pedals.

    5.0 clutch pedals or 4cyl clutch pedals

    No not at all. My car was originally a 4cyl 5 speed. I didn't swap any pedals at all.

    Need new shoes

    The tires on my 17X9's are dry rotting pretty bad. I need to replace them, but am awed by all the different brands that are out now. I WANT Drag Radials for the back, but may not be able to afford them. What are some good tires to go with. I need something kinda soft in the rear, the hard ass...

    Brake boosters

    The 2.3 is a big pancake booster. The 5.0 is more like a barrel. I don't know if there is much mechanical or pressure difference between the two though.

    5.0 clutch pedals or 4cyl clutch pedals

    I know my clutch pedal sticks out farther than the brake pedal (went from 4cyl to 351W with Tremec 3550). From what I have seen the orig stds don't do that so there may be some difference.

    Need help with suspension

    I had a similar problem with mine. MM CC plates, Tokico Illuminas and Coilovers. I had to put all of the spacers on the top for the strut shaft to sit high enough to fully decompress. This allowed me to lower the car where I wanted it with the coilvers. I also noticed that you have 5-lug...

    maximum motorsports strut brace owners come in

    The thing about those high horespower cars is that that more than likely have a cage in them which makes the chassis very rigid. Unless you have a full cage with the front bars your chassis will not very stiff. Just as a test jack up on tire on your car and look at how much the front of your...

    maximum motorsports strut brace owners come in

    Which number brace did you have? I have a 351W in mine as well and wanted to put a brace from MM. I even thought about fabricating one. Heard it's not too hard to do.

    New Pypes Exhaust

    What about the Pro-V's? How do they compare to the Flo-drones?

    New Pypes Exhaust

    How do they sound on the inside of the car at cruising speeds? I want to ditch my Flo-drones because you can't hear yourself think inside of the car. From what I've heard on the clips they sound good outside.

    Pypes catbacks

    I want to get rid of my Flo-Drones...getting tired of not being able to hold a conversation inside the car. I was looking at the Pypes kits, but can't find any sound clips from a 87-93. Anyone know how they sound, and if they drone like the flo's? I found a couple sellers on Ebay that have...

    What CFM carb for my combo?

    I have a Carter 625 on my 351W with Edebrock RPM cam and intake, LT's, 21/2 pipes. Works great. If you drive the car alot, I'd go with the Carter or Edelbrock. They are more reliable as daily drivers. If you are building a strip monster go Holley.

    Those with car covers (4" hood & saleen wing, what fits?)

    I got mine off Ebay with the 87-93 Saleen specs. Fits pretty good, but rides up the Cobra bumper in the rear under high winds.

    Steering wheel bolt

    If no one knows the size, does anyone have a service manual that might have the information in it. All I need to know is the correct size for the bolt. I think I may be able to run a tap through the column and repair the threads there, but I still need the correct bolt.
