    cloning an SVO with my 91

    I'm on a quest to copy the mechanical aspects of the SVO with my 91 hatch. Right now, I'm concentrating on the legs of the hores. So far, I have put in a 5 lug conversion kit. It still uses rear drums however. I put on 17X8 Edelbrock 454 wheels but the tires rub with passengers and on bumps...

    Idle problems

    I just got it back from the ford dealer today. It was the coil pack on the distributorless ignition system. Thanks for the help though. I figured it was electric.:flag:

    Idle problems

    My motor sputters eraticly and the tachometer jumps everywhere more than the engine does. It sputters and dies, but always starts up again. But the symptoms imediatly return. I am stumped. Stumped like a douglas fir in a logger's jambori.:shrug: Electric, fuel pump, I don't know. Help?

    SVO Exhaust

    How was the SVO's exhaust set up? Was it a true dule exhaust that split after the cats then went into two mufflers? Or did it split after a single muffler?

    Suspension

    I can't say for certain how much it cost as I was away and had my dad do it using my funds. The kit was about $600. All in all, it cost about $4,000 for the kit, its instalation, for the wheels and tires, with all labor. A bit more than I anticipated, but I was committed. I think it was...

    Suspension

    A few months back I finally got my car here on base from out of state. I had a Steeda 5-lug conversion kit put in and I swaped out to 17X8 Eddelbrock 454 wheels. The set up looks great but now my tires rub the fenders when I go over big bumps. I relized that I need a new suspension set-up...

    Bullet mirrors

    Does anybody know where I can find some motorized bullet mirrors? I've seen a few but they were either for camaros or not motorized.

    5-Lug Conversion successful

    I had the kit from 5.0 resto returned. My dad says the box was a mess, with open parts that seemed to have been just thrown into the box with gear oil bottles broken open. He says it looks like its traveled around a lot so maybe I'm not the first to return this kit. After this expierience, I...

    5-lug conversion

    Thanks a lot! Thanks for the advice and help. The whole situation is baffleing, but since you have successfuly converted your stang to five lug, there's hope for mine yet. I will hold on to the wheels for now and wait to sort everything out when I come home for leave. I had a set of Cooper...

    5-lug conversion

    So I need 28 spline? I'm not sure what a 31 or 28 spline is, but a spline was never mentioned in the ordering proccess. Maybe this isn't the factory rear? This car has seen several hands before I got to it. I don't know what to do. Maybe I should wait untill I go on leave. My dad sent the...

    5-lug conversion

    I'm not too sure. I'm away from home in the Air Force right now and I had my dad order everything. He took the stuff to the trusted neiborhood tire shop and they worked with it for eight hours trying to get the five lug kit to work. They said the axle wouldn't fit the rear, and so my dad...

    5-lug conversion

    Hi. I recently got my hands on a set of the reproduction Edelbrock 454 wheels which are five lug. I tried to convert to five lug using the 5-lug conversion kit sold by 5.0 Resto. I found out that the rear axle in the kit will only work with a 5.0 rear as 5.0 Resto told me through their tech...

    how many miles should i be able to get off a full tank?

    A 1991-1993 with a 2.3L automatic is advertised to have 25 city 28 highway. But here we are over ten years later so who knows? I can go somewhere in the 300 mark running the tank from full to just vapors.

    Cleaning Headlights

    I'd say just trash them. There are plenty of replacement headlights out there from suppliers like 5.0 Resto that will be better than the factory originals as far as being resistant to turning yellow and milky. I like the ultra clear headlights. They are similar to the 1994-1998 Cobras...

    Home Made SVO

    SVO Convertable In the August 2003 issue of Mustang Monthly, there was an article on a 1987 convertible owned by Rod Allen from Lexington Kentucky. The car was hit by a drunk so the car was repainted to a different color and a GT ground effects and front and rear bumper covers put on. A...

    should i be worried

    sorry Sorry I should have put a quote in there but the rattling I was meaning was the engine one. I had a cat go bad, but it took a while for me to figure out what the source was. I had my auto shop teacher use an automotive stethascope (instrument doctors use to listen to your heart beat)...
