    83 Capri RS running now

    Got the fuel problem solved on the Capri and got the fuel tank reinstalled and car running. Now need to fix some wires, freshen up the brakes and put some mufflers on it. Made a short video of it for it's first little drive. Last portion of the video was filmed using my iPhone 3GS YouTube -...

    Whats is the top speed a stock 5.0 can do?

    5th gear is an overdrive meant to help get better fuel economy and will usually not let a car redline. I've seen several test back in the 80's magazines, and not just Mustangs, several cars actually had a higher top speed in 4th gear 1:1 ratio than in 5th or 6th (both overdrive ratios) Best I...

    rebuild the one you pulled the S10 will never hold up to the 5.0. I suggest reading through this link before you go any further. Borg-Warner T-5 Transmission Data

    4 - 5 lug conversion??

    Will have to be the drums from the ranger / bronco II, the aerostar are 10" drums unless you plan on swapping out the whole brake assy. from the aerostar. If those fit your stock spindles then you will be limited by the hub depth of the front unless you plan on leaving the center cap off the...

    Need Help With Seats For A 93 Mustang Hatchback

    Pictures of the seats you got would help. The seat/bottom part should work between a hatch and a notch but the backs are different. If the back you got is one piece it will not work in your car if the back is 2 sections then it should work. the 79 and early Mustang/Capris had a once piece fold...

    Tilt wheel tilt 89? into 91lx what is involved?

    Ok sounds like you have all you should need. I'll kinda go step by step best I can here since I don't know how knowledgeable you are. 1) Disconnect your battery as you will be unplugging and plugging together various electrical connectors. I can only guess you have an active airbag module in...

    Tilt wheel tilt 89? into 91lx what is involved?

    Yes it can be done it is not that difficult. Besides the column you will need the correct column trim for an 87 - 89 tilt wheel. You will also need a cruise control wheel from the same years, not sure if an earlier one would work maybe something from 84 up. The column needs to have the 3 pin...

    Converting power doors and windows to manual question???

    Yeah what stylthyn said. With manual windows there is a door lock only button that replaces the blank in the top of the arm rest, used that when I first converted to power locks. I have never seen a factory car with power windows & manual locks.

    Converting power doors and windows to manual question???

    The locks are easy just remove the lock solenoid and the rod conecting to the lock cylinder. Windows would require getting new glass, registers and door panels / arm rest, or try and locate good doors that are already manual windows is easiest. There is a difference between manual & power door...

    fluid advice

    ON my 87 I try to stick to 50/50, but when I do add just water I use either tap or filtered drinking water haven't had any issues there at all. For oil I use the Motorcraft Synthetic Blend 10-40, once I finish the new motor I will use strictly Mobil 1 on it. I have switched cars that have used...

    83 Capri RS 5.0 added to family

    Only plans as of right now are to keep it visually as original as possible exterior and interior wise. As for the motor, once I am done putting my 87 back on the road, I may take the old 87 motor do a mild refresh on it and put it in the RS with the original 87 speed density set up. Yeah I'm...

    245/45/17's rubbing hard

    Sounds like your most likely rubbing the fender on the front of the wheel well. If so continue to read.. NOW........ I'm sure someone will chime in and say I'm full of it but...... The 87 - 93 have a fender extension on the front portion that matches the nose/bumper cover. The 87 - 90 is...

    1986 mustang help

    What was there to fix? He specified 87 - 93 Mustangs, nothing about aftermarket or other options. For a budget upgrade going from 10" disc to 11" is a good upgrade. Yeah my bad :shrug: I should have specified 5.0 parts, like so many I just made the assumption he would look for the 5.0 parts.

    The front spindles, rotors, & calipers from the 87 - 93 would be a good upgrade to your 86.

    245/45/17's rubbing hard

    I'm guessing from your name it is on a 87. What kind of rims? 4 or 5 lug? If 5 lug what kind of converstion was used. Rubbing on inner plastic fender or on outer fender?
