    Anyone ever heard of a starter losing ground??

    my old starter was just fine until I rebuilt the engine and installed it today - then it started the car just fine a couple times - then it just went click - hit it with a hammer and it started the car again like it should but let out a sizable spark - took the starter out and replaced it with a...

    Just rebuilt 5.0 - why so slow - LOST power

    There are 2 miles on the rebuild - if that! Just put it in today - Car sounds awesome at idle with a little lope with 800rpm fairly steady idle - pat the gas it sounds great - smooth, no noises, 1.7 roller rockers make a little noise but I hear that is normal. Fuel pressure is good at idle and...

    Ford motorsports catalog says it makes a bit better HP on the upper rpm's with a little rumble at idle with good low end & mid range power - I actually just took one out of my 1993 GT that has 500 miles on it and went another direction if you want one cheap let me know (pm)

    Anybody here with an Aerostar driveshaft

    I got an aluminum Aerostar drive shaft from my local yard 3 years ago for $20 - I thought it was just a regular rear wheel drive version - I had it cut and balanced and put it in my 1970 Mustang 5.0 5spd conversion. No problems with it. As far as the u-joint goes they say you need special end...

    How old to be a classic?

    Classic and antique are 2 different things - Classic is a term that means it is worth a considerable bit more than similar cars of the same vintage/class/etc... Antique just means old... In Virginia I believe it is 25yrs old to have antique tags and not have to have a county/city sticker...

    Oil pressure question?

    get a real mechanical guage on there ASAP!!!!! Mine did EXACTLY the same thing and I put a mechanical guage on it with 112k - cold idle was 50lbs and as it warmed up it dropped to 8psi hot idle - NO knocking sounds or anything - plenty of power etc... I did not like that reading so the motor is...

    underdrive pullies

    I used them on 2 of my cars so far and going on a third in a few weeks - I used steel MAC's for 70.00 (cheap but good quality) I did not really feel any different but my gas mileage improved - go figure - I do notice a little low charge with the lights on at night but the cars run cool with 190*...

    3.27 traction lock rear possible in 1993 5spd GT?

    My door tag translated to a 3.27 traction lock on a 1993 GT 5spd convertible - I have read that it was never offered with the 5spd - I have a set of 3.73 gears new in the box from Motorsport that came with the car but if I have 3.27's already I would like to try those for a while with a little...

    1.7 Motorsport roller rockers w/ E303 cam - springs? bind? pushrods? etc.?

    oh - what should the cam be degeed to for best low end torque given the mild combo - dot to dot I read is not totally accurate - I am not a professional builder by any means - just learning all I can from others posts.

    1.7 Motorsport roller rockers w/ E303 cam - springs? bind? pushrods? etc.?

    Stock 1993 GT 5.0 w/ stock heads and valves - putting in E303 with 1.7 roller rockers -- will I need to change push rod lengths? Will the valve springs bind? Will there be enough clearance between pistons and valves? Will the stock roller lifters be able to handle it? I am told 100-120 lbs...

    1993 GT 5.0 FI 5spd engine rebuild questions - fast before it is too late
