    Heads: Let's air it out

    I'm not a engine builder....maybe Rick91GT will chime. I always listen to that guy. I beileve the stock pistons are an issue. It really hinders on your cam and head selections. Unless you flycut them. So with that said if your going to invest in really expensive heads I would start with...

    Buying my 1st Fox 5.0

    It all depends on how bad they are. Could be easy could be a nightmare. If I could do it all over again I'd buy a car with nice paint job and nice underbody. The motor/tranny/rear end would be the least of my worries. Motor work is fun and Body work sucks big time. I would have...

    Buying my 1st Fox 5.0

    If the driver seat has "gangsta lean" meaning it's leaning to one side...It's probably has ripped floorpans. And that leads to busted TQ boxes. Tq boxes are where the rear control arms attach to body of car. If the body dosent need to get painted I'd grab it.

    Clutch Pedal tick

    I dont know if this will lead to anything but here goes. I wonder if the BBK/Gripp quadrant is made for the heavier/thicker cable that came with the kit. The BBK cable is bigger than stock. The MM cable is stock size diameter cable. Maybe it's not riding on the quadrant groove the...

    quad shock debate

    I still have mine on with less than a 1/4" clearance on my tires. Dame KYB quad shocks. I feel this is too close and might buy either Koni or Ford quads they look smaller....or even 3/8" wheel spacers. Flipping quad shocks will do nothing. The piston housing of the KYB quad shock is too...

    1987 gt t-top restoration

    If you plan on selling this when done I would suggest you keep the AC. I would look at your WOT relay and clutch on compressor. Common issue why AC dosent work. When you get close to having all the holes filled and smoothed in engine bay I'd look into Dupont "fill and sand" primer...

    Starter Solenoid still sticking, Ive replaced everything What now?

    Did you do any upgrades to the car that caused this sticking? Did you do a 3g alternator upgrade, e-fan, ect? Where did you take the hot from? If the soleniod/contactor move it to a seperate distribution block. Sounds like the Contacts inside solenoid are welding together. Too many amps...

    Granatelli suspension parts....anyone use them?

    Yup stay away from Granatelli. There GM orientanted anyways. I have no offense to that but I'd much rather buy from a company dedicated and focused to Ford/Mustang performance because my car is a Ford. edit: Kinda like a supercharger company that only makes superchargers, A header...

    Most boost on a stock engine?

    What is the most amout of boost I can run on a stock engine safely on street with out breaking my block? I was thinking about Thumper E7's, TMOSS GT40 lower, 1.7 roller rockers, stock cam, Kenne Bell flowzilla at 10 psi. Then I was thinking why not just a KB at 16 psi with a safe tune...

    5.0 theoretical top speed?

    Back in the early 90's JBA built a Fox Mustang that did 175mph pretty easily as far as mods went. Remember the RED LX with the huge road race fender flares. I beleive they used a mild 351W. A de-stroked motor...ect...ect? If you had the money you could make these cars be in Nascar...
