    after carefull consideration iam just gonna turbo the beast.

    The thing you need to learn if you want to be "successful" on this board is to deal with it. Stinger knows lots and has some very good ideas, but you will need to set aside your ego, and let his take over to get help from him. Everbody has a perssonality on here, some are easy going, most are...

    Alabama (stingers) T3 Cartridges

    I'm not sure, but I am not satisfied with her service, heres my saga... Bought a cartridge. Get it in the mail go to install it and find that the water fittings are a different thread. Turns out the only place where I could get them locally only had them in aircraft fittings. Oh well....$35...

    The Bypass valve can be run as a bypass valve or a blowoff valve. Whatever you choose. It doesnt matter where it is, there is lots of debate as to which is the best placement. You need to run a manifold vacuum line to the BOV/BPV. If you run it as a BPV then you pipe it into the intake (vacuum)...

    Another Problem

    Wow, that doesnt sound good. Make sure you check everything over really good, wiring problems are a bitch huh? If my memory serves me then the fan wiring is brown and grey or black with yellow tracers. I may very well be wrong though.

    84 tc

    I paid $175 for mine. Mine is out of an 87 TC, so it has a few better features to begin with. I'd try to talk him down. Show him $150 cash (in 20's) and a case of beer and see how it goes!

    Lowering Springs for a 4 cyl.

    Low cars look nice. I have to agree there. If you have never had a really low car for a daily driver then I would rethink it. It is not much fun at all, but it is nice to look at.

    Hmmm maybe I misread the post? He said he ALSO found the VAM ect. I figured he meant on a different car. Disregard my post, I got excited...hehe...

    stangnet sucks

    30 mpg is amazing. I wish I got that out of my 2.3. Maybe I should sell the four cylinder and get a V8 for the gas crunch? Check it out, and we all know that the factory MPG ratings arent always realistic. http://users.myexcel.com/ae4vr/vert3.htm

    Another Problem

    I'd say its the alternator wiring giving you trouble. Check the plug going into the alternator, ford has a problem with those melting. A new one can be purchsed at about any decent parts store. Do you have a volt meter? If so do this test, its called a voltage drop test. Take the positive...

    It soudns like you found an 87-88 TC then? Grab the Brown top injectors, and big VAM off of that for sure. It never hurts to grab certain things like the TB, intakes, cooling fans, MAP ect. They WILL come in handy down the road, if not on your car to trade to someone for something you need. The...

    84 tc

    Is it a whole car or only motor? I wouldnt go more than about $500 for the complete car, and that is way high (depending on where you live). As for the tranny that is simple...NO! Those cant handle more than about 30hp at the crank...haha. Ditch it for a T5, its the only way to go.

    Also.... In the long run (to get into lower times) an N/A car cannot compete with forced induction. There is so much more potential with boost. I'm sure Willy will argue this as well, but its true. Your looking at alot of money to SC or turbo a 5.0 correctly.

    stangnet sucks

    Everybody in this forum is here becasue they have a 2.3 that thy want to mod, or need helping fixing problems on...right? In a perfect world yes. The way I see it, if you want to bash 2.3's go to the 5.0 board and bash them there. We dont go 5.0 bashing, because we dont need to feel cool. We...

    stangnet sucks

    What was the sticker price on a 5.0 and a 2.3? Give me the difference to put into my motor as well, sounds fair right? Here is what I would spend $2000 on if I had it. So Right now I am sitting with an 87 TC motor/intercooler in my car. $25-Hood scoop to feed the intercooler $175-DIY Alky...

    84 T-5 into a 93 any problems?

    What is the 84 T5 out of and going into? Make sure the input shafts are the same diameter where they enter the crankshaft. I have heard that 5.0 and 2.3l T5's are different diameters. Its is not "TOO" hard to swap an input shaft if you have experience with trannies.

    What's the Problem?

    Possibly. There should be a circuit breaker for the Headlight circuit. If there is a short or area of high resistance in the circuit then it will trip the circuit breaker for a few seconds until it can cool. I wouldnt go just replacing parts until you find the problem for sure. Look for a flow...

    Is my block sleeved? Take a look...

    There should be fairly obvious marks on the cylinder wall where the piston travel stops. Measure between the marks. Multiply that by the bore near the top of the clyinder wall. There are multiple reasons for sleeving, most have been mentioned. One reason is if the block is being bored beyond...
