    Found my problem...Pics

    That almost looks like they bored the motor and didn't size the piston properly and it siezed.

    Heavy hesitation during Acceleration

    I would do a complete inspection of the ignition components. Check timing, and maybe even inspect the timing belt for wear. I would look out for vacuum leaks too. Those can make MAF car's run screwy. Then you could test fuel pressure, compression, maybe even do a fuel injector balance test.

    2.3 owner from a few years ago, back to ask the agless question "5.0?"

    Ahh yes the IRS. If I had all the time in the world and unlimited funds I would try to bring that along too. I'm sure it would make for some interesting driving in this stang, especially considering the awesome Power/Weight I'm gonna have do to running it barebone. But sigh, one of the...

    Hey Guys, got a question about a 5.0

    I think you are right. I remember people on TCCOA talking about using other intakes, but having to alter their hoods, lower their engines, or do other crazy stuff to get them to fit. I'm not sure who told me my intake was the same as a GT-40, but they where on that forum. That's the...

    Hey Guys, got a question about a 5.0

    It has the HO badge right on top of the manifold. Firing order wont be an issue. I am using my thunderbirds entire electrical system, sensors, ECU, harnesses and all. I have seen the non-HO motors in older crown Vics, but the intake is turned the other way on those. I suppose it's possible...

    2.3 owner from a few years ago, back to ask the agless question "5.0?"

    Kewl kewl. I guess I will just have to see when I get the T-bird shaft out if it will be a good little boy and have the same U-joints. It's doubtful. I might just have to get a mustang AOD shaft from a junkyard for now. At any rate, thanks for all the input! *EDIT* I just checked out your...

    Hey Guys, got a question about a 5.0

    Well, so far it has appeared that the previous owner was an asshat. The only things he did to it where stupid Ricer junk which I reversed when I first bought it. He had a MAF installed in a plastic tube, I replaced that with a mustang MAF. I highly doubt that there was any internal work...

    Hey Guys, got a question about a 5.0

    Well, to save you the looong story, I have two cars in my backyard. An ex-4cyl 87 lx hatch and a 91 Thunderbird w/5.0. I am going to put the T-bird 5.0 in the stang. I know it's not really conventional, but I don't see it being too big a hassle either. My question is, for the differences...

    i need help with my winter car!!!

    Did you check the throttle plate itself? My t-bird sucked up a piece of something once and the throttle got stuck partially open. The chipmunk nest made me thing maybe somethings in there. If this is a 'duh' I appologize.

    Need Help. coolant in oil, engine knocking, won't stay running.

    Wow... None of that sounds good... Honestly I would just tear down the motor at this point. You will deffinately find the problem, and it sounds like you will need to no matter what. I doubt that the loose piston making contact with the head gasket would temporarily break the seal. If so...

    2.3 owner from a few years ago, back to ask the agless question "5.0?"

    Hmm, so where does that leave me? Custom driveshaft? I coud try swapping the input hub from the bird over to my manual shaft, but who knows if that would even work.

    Same here... that seems like a potential explosion to me. None the less, it does look awesome, and I bet it has power!

    source for 2.3na heat/cool lines and Vac diagrams?

    I'll agree its a PITA, I just removed the air duct system as my last step for gutting my car. But I can't say I'd pay 500 to avoid the work. It's tedious, but it's not really that hard. Biggest tool you need is patience.

    2.3 owner from a few years ago, back to ask the agless question "5.0?"

    Well, I know it's been done to death, it was a daily thing when I was posting back in the day. I went through 3 motors and two wiring systems, and my 87 lx mustang had the same result every time. It simply was not content to live as a 4-cyl, and would just die after a month or two of driving...

    Fuel Pressure Regulator

    Hehe. It drives great. In a day or two when she get's herself figured out, I bet it'll be quite powerful. I stomped on it at like 50 and it kicked down to second, and I swear I heard a "chirp" which is previously unseen in this car.

    Fuel Pressure Regulator

    Well, I bought it, and I stopped to pick up the correct alan tip, and it was then that I noticed the screws are run in from the bottom. 91 T-bird, Anyone have any methods for changing one? Looks to me like I have to pull the upper intake and disconnect the fuel rail from the lower intake...
