    AOD to T5 Kit or ....

    www.ampperformance.com has a conversion package, but you have to buy the shifter and clutch seperate, and they charge you the same for used parts as it costs for new. If you can find a pedal assembly you can order almost everything else from LRS. The backup light harness you just have to get...

    big controversy AOD OR MANUAL

    I cant say I like my auto. If put a shift kit and converter in it maybe it would be better, but it still wouldnt be any fun to drive.

    Flowmaster Force II Vs. American Thunder... whats the difference?

    I hate my flowmasters :) The fit sucks and the drone around 2000rpm is aweful. If your thinking about getting flowmasters, dont. Get a straight through muffler, the drone is supposed to be almost eliminated with that kind of design.

    05 with hood up

    You guys have to remember that a 4-cam modular V8 like that is physically as large as a big block, so Im sure someone will make a cross member to swap a 302 or 351W or something in there. Personally I think that motor is one of the best looking ones ford has made.

    im gona hang myself

    Drill one of the screw holes in the TPS a little larger so you can rotate it more and set it between .97 and .99 Volts. My car used to hang around 2000rpm too and it turned out the intake seals were bad, so you may be leaking air in through an intake gasket or something.

    $$$$$ how much????

    The motor shouldnt cost over $10,000 if you go all out,and a good tranny (Lentech) is another $2500. So that puts you at $16,500 for a really fast NA car. (The motor will probably cost less without all the EFI and wiring stuff too)

    Ford Racing Super charger

    I always see people with Vortechs. Every other car in 5.0 Magazine has a Vortech on it, except for the hardcore drag cars, they all have Prochargers. I think because the plumbing and looks of the Vortech and Paxton is simpler you see them more.

    Macco Paint Question

    I hear the Maaco 20 minutes south of me does great work, but the one 20 minutes north can't do tape lines and generally does a horrible job. I think it all depends on which one you go to. Some want to do good work, and others just want your money. Does anyone think its possible to do the...

    1987 Mustang GT questions

    My 87 GT speedo only goes up to 85mph :(. The 5.0 GT and LX are all the same except for comfort and appearance option anyway.

    Help a mod motor guy build a beast

    There was a 92 or 93 rolling chassis for sale around here for a long time. It had a built rear end, full drag suspension, and a 12 pt cage and it was going for like $2,000. It just needed an engine and transmission, and the paint was a little faded but there were no dents or anything. If you...

    Can get March ram air kit free, worth it?

    If I were you i would take the kit, and install the air box that comes with it since it uses a bigger conical K&N filter, and throw that tube and the scoop in the garbage.

    Trac-lok going?

    What are some signs that the trac-loc is going? I am getting this clunking sound coming from the rear of the car when its cold (during cold weather), and when it happens and I give it gas the sound becomes faster and the car jerks more violently. I thought it was engine backfiring at first, but...

    Best Mufflers for Stock 5.0?

    Flowmasters sound good when your idling in the street and are revving it to impress your friends, but they really dont make very good power and the drone is aweful. I have them on a stock H-pipe and they sound good, theyre loud and ballsy, but If I could do it again I would get a straight...
