    Lower Intake sensors

    On Edit #3: Posted a pic of a turbo engine and didn't even know if you have one. Of course, reading on in other threads and seeing you are in the process of putting one together... When you get it in the car you will love it. :nice: If you want to see lots of pics of an SVO going through...

    Found an SVO what is it worth?

    A K&N Filter and Gillis valve set at 17 PSI put my stock 84 SVO up to 171HP / 220TQ to the wheels. So 20 HP for $100 may not be free, but it's pretty good bang for the buck. The car would have run mid 14's with that HP to weight. I did quite a few mods to it after that but never got back to the...

    After 1.5 years and 20K I finally Ran it.

    Lebanon Valley Dragway in up state NY - just south of Albany. It's abount an hour trip, but I hope to make it a weekly habbit next year with the SVO 2R. It's been a long time Linz. Missed you at Carlisle. I was there with my 86 Mustang SVO 2A. Got a bit damp, but it was a good time. Saw some...

    After 1.5 years and 20K I finally Ran it.

    Throttle body swap?

    You can call Dave on the clutch. His number is in the contact info on the Tiny Avenger side of the site. He was going to drop them, so cross your fingers he can still help. He will also be able to answer in detail what those clutches are capable of. The six puck high friction clutch disc is...

    Throttle body swap?

    I'm all for the Junk yard dog. Support the vendors or don't - as long as you keep your car running and get out of it what you want, that’s all good. Eventually you will have money to do it over again the right way or sell it to someone who prefers quality over JB weld... and you wonder why we...

    v6 2005 - Don't Laugh

    Now that was a great post. :lol: I like the V6 (99-04), though it needed a bit of bumper treatment to get the look I was after, the car itself is no slouch. When I was shopping, I tested the car and found it to have more than enough power for a daily driver. It was everything my 86 5.0 was...

    2004: the year I wish never happened

    I've lost too many friends and family to DUI... 1 is too many. It may not be what you deserve, but after everything that has taken place, will you ever take the chance again? A good code of conduct would be never take the chance. If you have a 1 drink wait at least an hour. Add an hour for...

    Quick 3G Alternator Question

    I think the best thing for you to do is explain the way you did the install step by step in point form. Keep it brief but clear. One step = one sentence. If it went like this... 1. Locate the point where the pair of MAIN wires (black/orange) join and become one. 2. Cut at intersection...

    Quick 3G Alternator Question

    Ok, from what I remember of my install. (I wish I took pics for an article) I used an upgraded 4 gauge red power wire from the main line on the alt to the solenoid on the fire wall. I cut the two wires (light green/red stripe) and (yellow with white stripe) off the regulator and coupled it...

    Quick 3G Alternator Question

    You are not very clear on your description of the contradictions. What does upgrading the main power wire have to do with installing eyelets... you would do this regardless of changing out the wiring. Just an edit to clerify - this diagram is for exrernal to internal regulation switch...

    2004: the year I wish never happened

    Sorry to hear about the job loss SVO1. :( I hope things start to get better for you soon. One thing to do to beat the "bad things happen in threes" is make the third one happen. Stub a toe, burn some water while cooking, rain tomorrow instead of sunshine could qualify, just make sure you...

    Lets see pictures of your painted 2.3L

    That Valve cover is very nice looking Red_LX. I like the color choices. Nice engine 78cobra347. Very clean bhuff30, yours looks good. Don't be to hard on yourself about the rust. Just the nature of cast iron. It's cleaner than anything I have period. Look forward to seeing the pics...

    You believe this!!!!

    Welcome to the age of "Customer what?" ... "Service Who?" ... Just gimmy your damn money and let me pretend I care till the door closes on your... The only local speed shop/dyno in this area charges $150 per hour... to do anything at all. That includes sand blasting. It's all about sucking up...

    Pics of the Rust Resto SVO 1E

    Subframes won't protect you from body rot; just stop weak spots in the pan from cracking due to flex. From the looks of the car it was set up for somewhat serious drag racing and surprisingly there are no visible fractures; only know for sure by talking to the original owner. We are going to...

    Pics of the Rust Resto SVO 1E

    As far as rust goes, it's about 200 percent better than I was expecting. Just means it gets restored to stock and no T-Roof swap in like I was hoping. It gets put away after the blown freeze plug is replaced and we'll dig into it once the 2R Restomod86 project is complete.

    Pics of the Rust Resto SVO 1E

    The car is here. A few surprises in a good way, along with some unexpected body damage and bumper cover issues, but all in all not bad for a sight unseen deal. Be interesting to see what else is done to this car... you'll get what I mean when you see the pics...
