    5.0L Fox powered by Eaton M90 Supercharger

    Some of you know, most of you don't - I purchased an '87 LX 2 years ago with a crude supercharged 5.0L powered by the same supercharger off of the 3.8L T-bird supercoupe. Most of the car was stock (heads, headers, lower-intake) and the car still made ~290rwhp. This winter I decided to...

    Remove Leave stains/sap?

    The past 2 weeks my stang was sitting outside and everywhere leaves were on it I have some funny spots everywhere. It takes a ton of work to scrub them off and I've washed the car twice and still have many of these spots! What can I use to remove them? Right now I'm just using Turtle Car...

    What do you like to clean your windows with?

    I've just used some glass cleaners I had around the house before. But now I hear you don't want cleaners with Ammonia in them? :shrug: As for application (especially on the inside of the windshield) do you just use a rag? I'm always getting streaks. :notnice:

    Check out my Clutch Fork

    I assume its had about 166,000 original miles on it. You can see it has some wear on it (on both the metal-springs and on the front... see its shiny). Now the question is with my new Centerforce clutch, pilot bearing, throw-out bearing, flywheel, etc. should I change this part or try to...

    Centerforce Dual Friction vs. King Cobra

    I've narrowed my decision down to these two and will order from RamChargers later today. All other opinions aside, which clutch can take more power? The King Cobra Clutch has 40% better grip than stock whereas the Centerforce has 90% better (or so they say). Does this make the Centerforce...

    Does SVO = FRPP?

    I think this is the case but I'm not sure. A lot of the stuff that came with my 5.0 was said to be... SVO. Examples: trans, clutch, aluminum driveshaft, etc. The equivalent today of SVO, is it Ford Racing Performance Parts? Thanks

    Weights of the different mustangs?

    What does an 87 5.0 LX Weigh stock? Is there a website or some other resource I can use to check the stock curb weight of my 87 5.0 LX? If you can provide data, let me know if its with/without driver. I'm just looking for a rough idea. :nice:

    Leaded Fuel in an unleaded vehicle

    What happens when you use leaded fuel in a modern EFI vehicle? I understand you'll be creating more toxic pollution and screwing up any cats (if installed) on your car. But what else? I heard a few people mention things about fuel injectors but couldn't find any supporting documentation...

    Can someone identify this supercharger for me?

    I've never seen one like this before and before I look at the car tonight I want an idea of what it is? Lots of stuff looks custom fabricated... It's mass air but the throttle body is before the supercharger? Here it is: http://classifieds.stangnet.com/data/17/63636100-0007_IMG-large.JPG...

    Swapping stock oil pan gives more horsepower

    Today I was looking at a Mustang for sale and this guy seemed to know his things about cars. Has anybody heard that putting on an aftermarket oil pan gains HP? This guy estimated ~15-20 hp, which seems awful high... If anything I was thinking ~5-7 hp. Thanks, - Jim
