    EBay sellers sometime suck..anyone near Albuquerque, NM

    I have never had a problem with Paypal but if you visit the ebay paypal message board you don't have to look hard to find people who have had problems.If you still want the piece, maybe you can get a 3rd party to Paypal the seller the money and you can send them the money order.

    5.0 Block Is A 5.0 Block right?

    You didn't say what year the truck motor was but older blocks(pre 1980) aren't machined for the dipstick to pass through the side.Also 302's made before 1981 are balanced different so you wouldn't be able to use the HO flywheel/flexplate.

    Convert Power Windows to Manual

    When I did mine the doors were pre-drilled from the factory for either style so it was just a matter of removing the power regulator and motor and replacing it with the manual parts, lining it up to the other set of holes and riveting them in.Since the factory rivets are aluminum with a steel...

    black strip on 91 lx

    After a certain year(early 90's?) the fox Mustangs came from the factory with the molding painted the same as the car.When I painted my 86 I liked the way it looked so I painted it but I think it is a personal preference.What you can do is go on ebay and do a search of the Mustangs for sale and...

    T5 to C4 coversion

    The Ford Racing driveshaft comes with a transmision yoke so a T-5 and C-4 must use the same diameter and spline count of yoke.The only difference would be the length of the yoke so check to see if it bottoms out or ask around to see how long a C-4 yoke should be.I replaced the 4 cyl/C-3...

    Everyone do yourself a favor

    I know how you feel.A couple of weeks ago I went out to my garage to find the door knob half twisted off.Luckily the dead bolt stopped whoever was trying to get in but in the few minutes it took to straighten out the knob and open the door I had visions of a missing car and tools.At first I felt...

    T5 to C4 coversion

    The driveshaft is the same length.If you check the Ford racing aluminum driveshafts they fit T-5/AOD/C-4 with the same part number.Crossmember will work but you will have to grind off the spot welds holding the crossmember to the tubes on either side and slide it to where you need it and...

    Oxygen sensor voltage?

    I have a regular single wire oxygen sensor installed in my exhaust that I use for tuning purposes.At idle I find there is not enough exhaust volume to get a meaningful reading off it, maybe a heated one would be different.I use a digital voltmeter set on a 2v scale and that seems to work fine.I...

    which welder to get?

    When looking at welders don't pay too much attention to the manufacturers rated output.You will find that there is a manufacturers rated outed output, a output at a particular duty cycle(usually 20%),an underwriters laboratory rated output and in Canada a CSA rated output as well and they are...

    Has anyone fused a coupe with a fastback?

    This reminds me of a story.I used to date a girl with a 69 fastback.Her brother did bodywork for people and was fixing a 69 coupe that had been rear ended.My girlfriends fastback was parked out front the day the customer came to get his car and since both cars were the same color the guy thought...

    Scammers on the Stangnet classifieds

    Just a warning to watch out for scammers as I placed an ad for my Ranger and already got one of those "cut and paste" replies.Typically they want to send you more than you are asking so you can send the balance to a third party.The problem is the money order or cashiers check they send you is...

    Mig welder questions

    A mig welder uses a solid wire with a shielding gas.A flux-core uses a hollow wire with the flux in the middle which burns when you weld providing the shielding.Both are wire feed.Since the flux-core wire needs to be hollow the smallest diiameter is about .035.The mig I use has .023 wire in it...

    GTech

    Mine gives back to back consistent times which is what you want if you are using it for tuning purposes.It will never give the same times as at a track because the method of timing is different.The G-tech starts timing the instant the vehicle starts to move, at a track the timing starts when the...

    Manual Rack vs. Power Rack

    I put manual steering and brakes on my 86 Mustang.The rack came out of a 78 Fairmont and it bolted in fine, but I had to change to the newer style rack bushings.You need the manual steering coupler as the splined shaft that connects the rack to the steering rag joint is a different size on...

    Getting Parts from the US

    When I bought my converter I had it shipped to a guy in Plentywood.I had to pay tax on it at the border and by the time I figured in my gas money I didn't really save anything but it was better than giving it to the UPS bandits.What you should do is try to find a few more people from Regina and...

    Are there any center console delete kits for a 5.0?

    My 86 coupe was originally a 4 cyl car and it has no console.It just has the shifter and the e-brake.They are really not that un-common at the wreckers with the four-eyes.

    looking for a c4

    I know some of the mid-70's Pintos had 4 cyl C-4's.There is a big demand for the bellhousing so they usually get snapped up fast at the wreckers.You might try Turboford.org, I see them for sale there on the classifieds. http://www.turboford.org/
