    5.0?

    If you are talking about the old 79-93 Fox 5.0's, Yes they will fit all 94-04 Mustangs. But you will need the transmission and the wiring harness as well unless you plan to go carbed. If the transmission you have in the V6 now is a 5 SPD manual, then you can use that transmission with the 5.0 if...

    wired question

    hmm.. when this happens, is your dome light working? Or anything else? Or is there suddenly no power to everything ? First, check all the ground cables and clean them off if necessary by scuffing the end of the terminal with a piece of sandpaper. Clean off any white calcium looking corrosion...

    3.8 ticking sound

    Could be an exhaust leak ... which is common on the 3.8s due to cracked header pipes or a crack in the catalytic pipes below it (Which I have on the passenger side of my 96). The noise never gets any quieter though, regardless of how hot it is. Do you smell exhaust up front more than usual...

    Overhaulin' brakes...

    It shouldn't be so tight as to where you have to really muscle it to rotate the wheel. Normally, you should be able to give the wheel a good shove with minor effort and it should at least spin 4 complete turns, or more... but no less. I mean, if you give it a hard shove and it spins really fast...

    Replacement 3.8 engine?

    The 4.0 is a totally different engine. I'm sure it can be used, but not without modifications to the engine mounts , and you'd also need the 4.0's wire harness and computer.. and then how to connect it to the gauge cluster? yeah..... so it's not a simple straight swap. Any 3.8 V6 engine from a...

    loud muffler for 1998 v6 mustang

    You wont get much louder than a stock muffler. Any straight thru design like a red cherry bomb or magnaflow tube muffler will give you louder sound. The tail pipe quiets down the sound a bit. And even worse, the Catalytic Converters quiet down MOST of the exhaust noise ( believe me.. hehe) ...

    Man with mustang needs door hinge help

    Whats the problem? You have a sagging door with a bad hinge bushing? You will need to get the proper hinge pin /bushing replacement kit. Comes with a new pins and 2 new bushings. To remove the door, you will DEFINITELY need 2 people, and then a soft blanket to set the door on so you don't...

    It's been done. I finally tackled the transmission and clutch this weekend. Yay!

    I must say what a pleasure it is to have a new ( 113k miles on the new-er trans) plus a brand new Perfection Clutch and I replaced the trans mount while I was at it.. The TO bearing is definitely better than the POS old one, but it is a little noisy still. Never replaced the flywheel despite...

    2008 Wheels on a 2002 Mustang? How do they look?

    I'm not sure how they look on an '04, but i AM familiar with how they look on 94 - 98's. I can post pics if you want. Also, I might add that the 05 -11 rim offset is a lot steeper than the 94 -04 Mustangs. So if you install these , you will need the proper wheel spacers to avoid any rubbing on...

    5.0l t5- 3.8

    No, all T5's are alike, except I have found out the newer 3.8's such as my 1996, has a different length input shaft on the tranny. I can't remember if it was longer or shorter. Those are usually the only difference, aside for the slightly different gearing ratio. Bellhousings are all the same...

    HELP! I'm at a loss

    Ok, DPFE is part of the EGR system. it's a Differential Pressure Feedback EGR circuit. And the DPFE varies the amount of exhaust gas that goes back into the engine, instead of relying solely on EGR vacuum. Too much EGR flow will stall the engine or cause it to run rough, because it will choke...

    Do You Have A Squealing Bearing Noise That You Can't Find?!?

    Interesting , thanks for the article. Most of what is in this article also applies to '94 - '98 3.8 Mustangs as well. Everything except for the EGR valve, which on the '94 - '98's the EGR is located in the back section of the engine so that don't apply.

    P0340 Trouble Code

    That is a camshaft position sensor fault. The cause is either a bad cam sensor, or something is causing the sensor to goof up .. perhaps bad wiring, bad computer or even bad alternator. Yes, alternator. as weird as that may sound, if one or more of the alternators diodes messes up and the...

    What happened to the 2.3 Stangs?

    Well, it's good to see people still respecting the 2.3. I have pros and cons about this engine, but doesn't everyone. It is a BEEFY sized 4 cylinder, I will say that. I liked mine I had 14 years ago. But it was abused by it's previous owner and it blew a head gasket and needed a new...

    1992 LX Build thread!

    That one plug.. the second larger one.. looks like it goes to the door chime thing. It has a plug about that size and is usually clipped up under the right hand side-front. I could be wrong. Let me see if I can't pull up a wiring diagram. Is that a stock fan controller replacement? If your...

    1992 LX Build thread!

    I doubt you will notice any power gains. Not sure where you picked up that alternator from. Where did you get it ? What is the size of the stock pulley? I think stock alternator is 100 amp for a 2.3. Or maybe it was 95 amp, I'm not sure . Perhaps someone else here can clarify.
