    Easy replacement for stock cylinder heads

    Thanks for the suggestions! Are gt40x Ford Explorer heads as well? If I were to get these, I wouldn't need to buy any other hardware besides gaskets? For buying them, do you know of any reputable stores / websites that sell them or will I still being going through eBay? I'll definitely be...

    Easy replacement for stock cylinder heads

    I've got a 1989 Mustang GT with a blown head gasket. Since everything is going to be pulled apart anyways, it seemed like the perfect time to replace the heads too (not doing this myself). Ideally I'd like to spend under $1,000 for the heads (already spending more than that for the repair)...

    Recommend an Aftermarket Radiator w/ a Stock Fit

    Part Details for RADIATOR # 138CBR - DIY Performance Radiator So that should just drop in and fit nicely? It's not 3 row brass though, just 2. Is that a big difference? Are aluminum much better? I'm seeing those in the $250 price range on CJPonyParts and 50Resto.com. Whatever I get, it'll...

    Recommend an Aftermarket Radiator w/ a Stock Fit

    I'm looking for something better than stock when I replace my rusty radiator but at the same time, I'd like something a little better. Can anyone recommend something in the $250 range that will perform better than stock but also not require modifications (ie hooks up with the stock mountings /...

    Tire Repair Foam

    I have a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP for my daily driver. One of the tires has a slow leak that forces me to put air in it a couple times a month. I mentioned to my dad that maybe I would just spray some of that foam tire repair stuff in it and he said I shouldn't do that. Otherwise I can...

    Can't put my top down...

    I took a look and it does appear that the fluid is low. I had a cylinder for raising/lowering the top go bad and leak a bunch a few monthes back, chances are I wasn't patient enough in filling it back up... or it's leaking in other places too. I'm going to go get a haircut and pickup some ATF on...

    Can't put my top down...

    About a week ago, my power convertable top quit working. When I press the button to go up or down, I just hear a single click coming from the back of the car. Any ideas what is going on or how to fix it??? Is this just a short or could it be something worse, like an issue with the top motor.

    Where to get a seatbelt bolt???

    I'm not going to a junkyard that needs to borrow my tools, plus my vehicle is in storage still (along with what i need to remove/install the parts) an hour away from here.. nor did they have any Ford Mustangs there, but they thought another Ford might use a similar part. Maybe I'll try the...

    Where to get a seatbelt bolt???

    I need to get a seatbelt bolt and the rubber surround for my 89 Mustang GT Convertable. We ruined the old one because it was rusted and we had to use a locking wrench to get it out. The local junkyard around here does not have the tools to remove a seatbelt bolt, and I am not about to bring them...

    My Convertable Top is out of Wack

    I've had my Mustang for three years and the top has progressively become more out of line each year. Now it is to the point where I can only latch one side and it leaks like mad. What can I do to fix this? I've been calling around shows in town, but no one around here knows anything about...

    Maybe it's my clutch, maybe it's something else...

    Well, I read up on it in the Hayes manual and it wanted you to be placing engine mounts under the engine (which I don't have) and I'm not sure how to go about supporting the trany when it's out... the rest I may be able to do myself... in fact, you guys have me thinking now and we do have a...

    Maybe it's my clutch, maybe it's something else...

    So... still weighing my options and getting $$$ ready for this... I've looked into what's involved in changing a clutch and it's not something I can feesibly do in my garage, so I'll have to take it to a shop to be done. Is it pretty certain then that the clutch has to be replaced or could other...

    Maybe it's my clutch, maybe it's something else...

    I pulled up my clutch and pushed it to the floor, but it didn't make any differance. Any other suggests?

    Maybe it's my clutch, maybe it's something else...

    As far as I know, i have the stock quadrant. I have an aftermarket clutch and don't have any receipts for anything else (the old owner kept receipts for just about everything ever done to the car). I will try that adjustment with the clutch you mentioned... I did that a few years ago, but...

    Maybe it's my clutch, maybe it's something else...

    I just noticed this last night a little and definatly noticed it today. Everything seems fine in 1st thru 4th gear... but in fifth, when I give it hard, the engine revs up really high at first then drops to where it should be and I start speeding up... after doing this, you can smell burnt...

    What gears do you like the best?

    I get good millage with my 3:27! I want to swap to 3:73s... probably the only thing holding me back is the high instalation costs.

    Passenger window switch won't work window

    Don't have any help, but I have a similar problem... the passenger windows works from the passenger side, but not from the drivers side. I'll be watching this thread to see if any good suggestions come thru... I might just take it in to get fixed, it shouldn't be that expensive and it'd save me...
