    Powerstroke Fox-body

    ...You didn't see 5.0 Mustang's "Project Fox 500?" They transplanted the S197 Cobra guts into a fox just fine.

    Cam selection

    P.S., I would also second a custom-grind cam, if you choose to budget for it, coupled with a Trick Flow Twisted Wedge R. If you are planning on building the same block? The ability to reuse these amazing components might be a steep investment up front, but the TFTWR is undoubtedly the most...

    Cam selection

    heh Not that I'm looking to stray off-topic, or open up some futile flame war, but the whole "ricer" persona makes me chuckle. I hope you genuinely mean the posers with no HP mods, big stickers, among other garbage. I've seen them as imports, Mustangs, etc. I only address this because I have...

    1988 Headlight adjustment/E-Brake?

    I have searched all over the forum (at least the first page or two of results,) and also on google, and yet I get dimp. I also need to adjsut the E-Brake. I'm going to go tinker in a bit on the headlights. Any solutions for me are hugely appreciated! -Willens

    5.0 Programer

    God bless Stangnet: I love the application of knowledge for quite contrasting situations making themselves USEFULLY into a discussion, and for that matter, with tasteful relevance. I myself am new to Mustangs, and was a Z car tuner before that (still am ;).) I'm in dire thirst of learning about...

    Any Albuquerque representation?

    Indeed. Boring place... I can see why DWI's are so popular: It's more of a sport, recreation, or hobby than anything else, or possibly even the only thing to do for most.

    Car Overheating (Please Help)

    I'm new to the world of Mustangs, but my car runs consistently @ 209 degrees. It has pulleys, 3 core radiator, etc. From what I've read, that seems decent, but I wouldn't mind seeing 195 or so, tops. I'm thinking the 185 degree t-stat seems like a likely move. Anyone care to confirm?

    Car Overheating (Please Help)

    Oil suggestion We did a "burn test" of Royal Purple vs several oil brands. Royal Purple actually failed horribly for viscosity when compared against others of the same weight. As expected, Mobil 1 dominated the test with flying colors. Simply put? Save the money, and go to the best...

    160° vs 180° Thermostat?

    T-stats were allegedly the "first performance" mod people were doing to the 5.0's back in the late 80's. They were trying to trick the computers into thinking they were running hotter than they really were to dump more fuel. For a DD, or any car without serious work (compressions, cams, timing...

    Proud new owner of a Stang

    I recently purchased a fairly well-built, 88 LX notchback converted to 5.0L 5spd. It hauls serious ass, but it has a few issues to work out. I've been working with some experts about learning the ways of the Stang, but will also consult on here, and continue to educate myself. My background is...

    Any Albuquerque representation?

    I just joined the forums, and just decided to take the plunge into the world of stangin' from the world of Z cars (not the 350Z, it doesn't count as a real Z.) Seeing who might be out this way. -SW
