    05+ v6 vs geared lx hatch?

    Too much. Really? I would think it would be a little more... Obviously, my '93 is rated at 205 HP. According to a track number calculator using my ET, I make somewhere between 184-192 RWHP and around 210 HP at the flywheel. I don't have any dyno to prove it, but it seems like the V6 would...

    I'm torn, cleaning up engine bay, need some input

    Haha, personally, I say leave it. If you're going to get rid of it, at least keep it or take a picture. The diagrams are specific to each car, no? Small variances here and there anyway.

    05+ v6 vs geared lx hatch?

    Eh, I don't know. They're rated at 210 HP. Car and Driver (Feb 05) tested a 2005 4.0l V6 and clocked 15.3 in the quarter (faster than my car.) 6.9 seconds to 60. If it was bone stock you would beat it.

    poor mans 5 lug swap?

    Stock axle length for these cars is 29 5/32". You can pull 5 lug axles from '83-'92 Ranger and Bronco IIs on the driver side only or '86-'97 Aerostars on the passenger side only. '94-'95 7.5 and 8.8 rear axles will both work and will be what you're looking for if you're going to go to rear...

    Coolant Change For My 1986 GT

    I'll give you a bump. I would find this helpful as I need to do this soon before the new heater core is installed.

    poor mans 5 lug swap?

    7.5 and 8.8 axles in Mustang rear ends from 79 up should all be 28 spline, so you don't have to find rear end size specific axles. All you need to worry about is the length of the axle you're installing.

    Heater Core Install

    Hey thanks for that. I've started this and I stopped for now because I can't get the old core out from under the lid. I will try pulling the box out more and undoing the bolts at the back.

    poor mans 5 lug swap?

    You could always just buy 5-lug front rotors and 5-lug rear axles and drums... http://cgi.ebay.ca/87-93-Mustang-Front-Rear-5-Lug-Wheel-Conversion-Kit_W0QQitemZ260016502025QQihZ016QQcategoryZ33728QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem...

    Question about seats?

    They will also sit you slightly higher than your stock seats. If you're tall this is something to keep in mind!

    brakes a bit mushy, bleed mc how?

    I'm not sure if it makes a difference either, but if you'd like to go at it, it shouldn't hurt anything. You will need to buy a kit, they are fairly cheap. You screw in the line adapters and run plastic tubes from the adapters to route the fluid back into the resevoir. Here are some better...

    Gauge Cluster Clear Plastic Cover - Need One

    Had my dash apart for heater core change. My dad was moving some of the parts out of the rain and broke my clear gauge cover. '90 and up style. How much do these run new from Ford or from a junk yard? I'd rather try new first because I want one in really good shape. Thanks.

    Rebuild vs Crate Motor

    Thanks for the responses guys. I am really starting to like the idea of a crate motor. It would not be too hard to save up the money quickly, let alone for next summer. Living in Canada, shipping different parts here and there sometimes burns a hole in the pocket, plus I have no experience...

    Sliding Contact (Clock Spring) Part Numbers

    Bump. No help with this? I found F3ZZ-14A664-A for a '93 Aerostar, which indicated a '93 part and the first Z mean Mustang or general use. Should I be going to Ford with this part number?
