    C & L: thoughts and a question

    This will be an interesting thread. There are a lot of people who swear C&L are crap, and cause nothing but problems. There are also a ton of people who use them with no problems at all. A couple of general things I've noticed is they seem to work well on NA setups, but not as well on FI...

    Door handes (inside and out) hard to open...suggestions?

    The only other thing that would affect that, assuming your hinges are ok, is a faulty latch mechanism. New ones are pricey though...

    what do you guys think of these headers?

    Yeah..it almost looks like they copied the FRPP headers, but out of normal steel (I don't see any mention of SS), and had them coated. I assume it's not Jet Hot either since that isn't mentioned anywhere, and it costs more than those headers to get some coated. Regardless, they do look pretty nice.

    Can't find brake pads for my 73mm calipers?

    Regular stock fox pads fit fine, they just fit a little snug. Edit: You might try looking for pads for a '91 Crown Vic police package...

    Cobra or GT40 intake?

    IIRC, there won't be much gain with either intake with the stock heads. You might want to look into getting the Cobra, and sending them out to be ported by tmoss. It won't make a big difference now, but if you do heads in the future..it will. If you have no plans to do heads anytime soon...

    Which GT40 heads?

    Just to add to that, my GT40 X305's have the SVO logo stamped on the front and back of the head. :)

    Which GT40 heads?

    I think all the aluminum GT40 heads, both X and Y variants have a "SVO" stamped in the front and back of the heads.

    Do all stock 5.0s sit like this?

    I've been using the Eibach Pro-Kit on my '92 for about 6 years now with Energy Suspension poly isolators, and I love them. Here's a pic of how mine sits with about 65K on the springs...

    Bassani Exhaust

    I just got done installing a set of FRPP shorties and a Bassani SS OR X-Pipe this weekend, and I can say it was money well spent. I had never done any exhaust work myself, other than putting on the set of POS BBK shorties I had been running, and that Bassani X went on so incredibly easy it...

    Header bolt lenght for y-303's??

    The FRPP aluminum Y and X heads both use the standard header bolt size that the stock heads do. They are 3/4" long, not 1". I saw some people suggest using 1" bolts, but I called Ford and they said they "might work". The BBK headers I just took off, and the FRPP ones I'm putting on both came...

    Thanks guys! I just got the passenger side header on, and I put the blue side toward the header... Man, these FRPP headers go on WAAAAAAAAY easier than the POS BBK individual flange ones that I took off. :)

    Quick header gasket question...

    Installing my FRPP shorties, and I just opened up my pack of Fel-Pro 1415 gaskets. I was wondering if there is a particular side that goes to the head, or if it doesn't matter. The gasket has a blue side that has Fel-Pro and the part number stamped on it, and the other side is a dark blue with...

    X-Pipe or H-Pipe? I need some input pleeeease guys!!!

    The power difference between the two is nothing you would really feel, and it just boils down to sound. An H-Pipe and a X-Pipe have different sounds. Some people prefer the H sound, and some prefer the X sound. An X pipe is usually a bit quieter...

    Which plugs for Y-303 heads (Turbo swirls)?

    Do the Y303's use a different casting the the X303/305's? I was under the impression the stock plugs were only for the cast iron Ford heads. On my X305's heads I needed to switch to Motorcraft AGSF32C's...

    Mobil 1 ATF in PS pump?

    Look in the back of your owners manual...under lubricant specifications. Power steering fluid is similar enough that it works fine, but Type F ATF is what is called for...
