    Thermostat Bad?

    I went ahead and replaced the thermostat today with a new 180* unit. I made sure the spring side faced towards the manifold and put the thermostat in the water neck first, then the gasket. Used tack sealer on both sides of gasket, torqued to 12/ft lbs. Only took about 30 mins to do, easy to...

    Thermostat Bad?

    I just put my engine back together after having to change the head gaskets and the transmission. Started up fine but without the heat/AC on full blast, the fan does not come on. I can jump the sensor to make it turn on. So I decided to run some Prestone flush and water to clean it all out before...

    Are sn95 5.0's compatible with some foxbody s/c or turbo kits?

    The two main things that make the fox stuff so different is the throttle setup and the accessory drive. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't see any reason why you couldn't go out of your way to get some fox accessory brackets and belt and just do a little re-locating, then the kit would...

    95 GT Help

    Like VibrantRedGT said, the computer is really nasty on the 94-95. Depending on your budget, if you want to go cheap, you can get away with a GT40 head and intake swap without hassle from the computer for the most part for a pretty fun upgrade. The iron e7 heads on the GT are the major...

    Transmission Won't Slide All The Way In

    Oh yea most definitely used the alignment tool! I got it on with like maybe 1/4" to go right now. I'm waiting on a friend to show up and push the clutch while I bear wrestle it in. I like the idea of alignment studs! I might make a set of those for the future. EDIT: I actually was able to...

    Transmission Won't Slide All The Way In

    Thanks for the tip! I did not hook up the clutch cable yet, that sounds like a good idea. I will have to bribe one of my totally unreliable friends to come press the clutch for me.

    Transmission Won't Slide All The Way In

    Need some tips here. I pulled my T5 and replaced it with a new built up unit. I was having this problem where I can't get it to slide on that last 1/2". So I pulled the whole thing off again, also the clutch and pressure plate and test fit the unit. The bell housing bolted up nice and flush with...

    Wrong year blancer! Can I switch pulleys?

    I lucked out, they are taking it back and giving me a refund. This is great, turns my $270 mistake into a $15 mistake. I'll take it. This was an eBay purchase from falconglobal. Looks like they might sell parts for various car shops so the descriptions might be out of their hands. At least...

    Wrong year blancer! Can I switch pulleys?

    Hey guys, Was out all weekend and didn't get to check this thread til now. I am definitely interested in the trades. I know the order processed but I don't think it went out yet. Heres the thing- my angle to get my money back on the balancer is they sold it to me "brand new", but when I...

    Wrong year blancer! Can I switch pulleys?

    Thanks. I went ahead and bought it. Please, let this be the last thing I buy wrong for this car. I am going to be putting up a fire sale soon of brand new parts that either didn't fit or ended up not being what I wanted. I could open my own mustang store about now.

    Wrong year blancer! Can I switch pulleys?

    Awesome. Another $280 in the wind. Anyone wanna buy a brand new 28oz Romac? I wish I could get a break on this car. Really. EDIT: So would this work for me? Stock crank. Also, I had it balanced at the machine shop with the stock balancer when I rebuilt it. Then someone said they couldn't...

    Wrong year blancer! Can I switch pulleys?

    Is it 50oz? Man this motor is throwing curve balls left and right. They seem to weight the same, I need to verify this on a scale asap. Edit: Hrmm a quick search on Summit for 1993 mustang led me to more 28oz balancers, like: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FMS-M-6316-C351/

    Wrong year blancer! Can I switch pulleys?

    I picked up a new Romac 28oz balancer on eBay and didn't realize the style between 86-93 and 94-95 were different. Balancer installed and looks like it fits as the other one, but now my Granatelli underdrive crank pulley doesn't fit because of the mounting surface is flat and not protruding like...

    Need Transmission Opinions

    I ended up working out a deal with Tony at Astro Performance for his 94-95 Level 3 transmission package. Its being built right now and I should be able to pick it up next Tues or Wed. I'm pretty excited, Tony is a great person to do business with. I will be trading my current BW WC T5 and...

    Need Transmission Opinions

    Thanks. Astro isn't too far from where I am actually. I'll give them a call, looks like it will run me about $600+ in parts to refresh everything. Or I could go with one of their core trades for about double that which would have a 2.45 first gear and worthy of 350ft/lb torque.

    Need Transmission Opinions

    Thanks Kurt. Sounds like it might be manageable if thats all that is involved. I saw a guy on ebay re-selling T5s that he claims can withstand 375hp (thats hp, not tq) and another that can take 415hp. I'm guessing hes using an off the shelf rebuild kit, but I'd like to figure out which one. I'd...

    Need Transmission Opinions

    Thanks guys. Thought about getting another t5, then transferring my new parts. Would cost same as rebuild kit apparently. Wasnt sure on difficulty here. I built my own engine, I did well, but tranny had so many more parts I was concerned on the amount of tollerances id have to get accurate. Good...

    Need Transmission Opinions

    My project started out as a budget build weekend warrior, so I got a WC BW T5 from a 94 Cobra with B+M shifter off Craigslist for $350 awhile back, guy said it was a solid tranny with no problems, ready to go. Anyway, I finally got to drive my project this last week, 2nd gear won't stick at all...

    Dome Light Always On

    Solved! That switch was it. I had no idea that was there! I've only owned the car like 2 years, i've probably only driven in it a few days.
