    Strange Gurgling Sound In Exhaust

    Correct. This is why my dad's car did not throw a code for timing even though the entire bank was changing timing constantly. It only had a code pop up after things had gone horribly wrong.

    Strange Gurgling Sound In Exhaust

    Well, it could be a problem somewhere along the lines in the intake system but not in the intake manifold. Bent valves on the intake which would cause a loss of compression, and especially show up in a leak down test if they were only slightly not seating. Also, I reread your original post...

    Strange Gurgling Sound In Exhaust

    I can't stress this enough, do not assume they did a test. Ask them for the results of the test and if they didn't do it they will tell you they didn't. Also, if you didn't ask them to do a compression and leak down test, they probably didn't. If a shop wants to throw parts at it, they should...

    Strange Gurgling Sound In Exhaust

    I'm going to ask this question again. Have you have you had a compression and leak down test done? Also, if your timing chain is off and the cam timing is off, that could be your issue right there. From the outside looking in it seems like you are allowing shops to just throw parts at the...

    Not really all that hard to say, the giant big block motor has a ton of torque and is more powerful than our reasonably efficient small/modern motor. There is no replacement for displacement. Stock the car is slower but there were guys back in the day running 11s in those cars by doing...

    The 69 SCJ stock was supposedly 14.1 in the 1/4 mile but remember, that was with :poo:ty bias ply tires and not so great shocks. A modern set of tires on that bad boy and a small amount of suspension work would probably make a world of difference. The factory stock 03-04 Machs were running...

    So did the shop ever run a compression/leak down test? Did they do any diag or just start replacing parts and changing you for parts/materials?

    Considering you could get a Mach 1 in 70 with a 428 SCJ big block, I hope they had more power than our tiny little 4.6L motors =) The Mach 1 in actuality was a replacement for the GT but they had the cross over years. Unfortunately, the 71-73 Mustangs were kinda huge/boats so the Mach 1s from...

    Confirmed, shakers are 100% the business.

    Sooo...now What

    Actually I think getting mad about a so called social experiment and reacting negatively is a bad way to go. It tends to show anger and that might suggest to someone that you feel like you were suckered. Think the best response is laugh it off. Hey Paul, that was a funny way to test out the...

    Ac Pump Replacement Parts Question

    Hey wmburns and 90sickfox, thanks for the help on this one. I'm putting the order in on the parts now so they can get here in time for me to take care of it this coming weekend. The new compressor comes with a brand new clutch as well so I don't have to worry about swapping it over but that is...

    Sooo...now What

    Maybe a troll, maybe not but at the end of the day, I don't think he would have listened. I had a 99 V6 and I put a lot of suspension work into it to make it turn. I was going to do a V8 swap because no amount of go fast parts were going to make that motor perform the same as a V8 swap. Too...

    Ac Pump Replacement Parts Question

    Thanks man but unfortunately I don't have the time to rebuild the pump. This is a time is money scenario because next weekend is my last weekend in my house as I'm moving out at the end of the month. I can get a brand new motorcraft compressor for 200, no core exchange. If it was just the...

    The MGW is an awesome shifter. I had one on my Mach until I ditched the 3650 for a T56 Magnum. If I had it to do all over again, I would have got myself a regular T56 and had it built by a good trans shop instead. I have tried 3 different shifters on the Magnum (including the one it came with...

    LOL You guys just got trolled so hard.

    Tranny Question.

    That kind of depends on which two transmissions you are trying to compare.... Also changes depending on what flywheel as they don't all weigh the same. Generally speaking the auto alone (including fluid) is still heavier even after the flywheel/clutch is factored in but not ALWAYS. What...

    What Year Did Ford Start Using A Better Sterio?

    2000 was the last year of the single DIN head unit, they switched to a double DIN dash in the Mustangs in 2001. I had a factory 2000 setup for a while and pulled it in favor of an aftermarket head unit. There isn't a good factory head unit for these cars IMO. Just get yourself a decent Alpine...

    Exhaust Help Needed

    You don't need a whole new cat back system, you can just buy mufflers and have them installed into your existing system. You just need to make sure you get the inlet/exit size and offset correct. Also, a good shop can put flanges on the new mufflers you get as well as the ones you have so can...

    Ac Pump Replacement Parts Question

    Hey guys, I have an 03 Mach 1. The AC quit working on me a while back. I could hear the compressor cycling on/off so I took it to a local shop for an AC diag since I don't have AC manifold gauges and what not. They told me I was low on refrigerant and did a die test. Said my compressor is...

    If you think the valves aren't closing all the way, run a compression check on all the cylinders to verify.
