    Speedometer cable

    Yeah, you need to remove the electronics for sure, as it's hard to thread the cable in through the firewall without seeing where it's and and where it's going. You can get away with undoing only the headlight switch and foglights and leave the hazard/defrost attached and swing the bezel over to...

    How hard is it to replace door lock motor?

    You can buy the actuators for like $20 on the internet. Then you drill the stock riveted ones out, and drill two hole in the inner panel for the new ones. They are nice pieces, and work strong. Mine have been going for over two years without a hitch.

    wrapping spark plug wires

    I had a set that the boot melted on (even and L boot shape) because of the euqal lengths (MAC Grr.). It would make my car stumble. I took a think walled piece of pipe and stuck the plug in it then connected it. No problems, no expensive header wrap for a 2" job.

    1990 Mustang GT Rebuild ~ Need a little advice

    It's cake to change the cam, just be careful and slow so not to nick the bearings, and put the new one in EXACTLY the same orientation as the stock one. You should be good with 19# injectors for up to 320 HP.

    How hard is it to replace 5.0 badge?

    Take a piece of fishing line, and loop it under the end of the emblem. If you want to save the emblem, GENTLY work it toward the other end, otherwise just peel that puppy off. Here's mine with no badges : www.circlecfarm.com/ourobos.htm

    1990 Mustang GT Rebuild ~ Need a little advice

    Instead of the parts you chose, have you looked into the Trick Flow engine package? It is a set of Twisted Wedge heads, a Stage 1 cam, and their Street Heat intake. I have seen it for $1600. Much more likely to hit 300 with it than the package you mentioned. You may also want to look into...

    New motor gone south? *SICK STOMACH*

    How old are the springs on your combo? Did you upgrade your cam when you rebuilt it? I had the same thing happen to some GT40 heads 3 times. I thought I was slapping a piston, but turned out I needed new valve springs. Solved all my problems (before I broke a rod anyways). I also use allen...

    new wire harness
