    Bullitt wheels on my 1988 LX

    To clarify, when you refer to the SN95 axle, do you mean the whole solid rear or just the SN95 length axle shafts? If the whole rear end, will any disc brake SN95 rear work?

    Bullitt wheels on my 1988 LX

    Mike, So no rubbing in the back with the SN95 axles and C-springs? I generally don't put anyone in the back except my 2 kids under 6 (never saw that happening when I bought this thing back in 1988!), but they are getting bigger every day. Any pics of the rear wheel situation on your LX?

    Bullitt wheels on my 1988 LX

    So all Bullitt 17" wheels have the same offset or do I have to watch out for that? My 1988 has been lowered with C springs, has Konis all around, poly bushings but otherwise stock. Does this impact rear axle length selection?

    Bullitt wheels on my 1988 LX

    I saw a pic of an LX with Bullitt wheels and fell in love. My blood is pumping to get those wheels installed but I am still at the early stages of the project, meaning my 18,000 original mile car still has the 4 lug OEM rotors and axles. I found this: from Late Model Resto. So Cobra 13"...

    Aluminum driveshaft

    How about problems? The alu DS looks a hell of a lot bigger than the stocker. Does anyone have theirs knocking into their exhaust? Just curious - I have a brand spankety new alu DS waiting for me to find the time to install it. I would hate to go through the motions and have it banging into...

    '94 5.0... are pistons forged or caste?

    From Kevin Cameron, motorcycle guy: "The piston is the busiest component of an engine. It travels the most distance at the highest speeds & rates of acceleration. It is subjected to the highest temperatures that an engine sees, in the most hostile environment imaginable. It has to transfer...

    73mm Brake Caliper Help

    I agree x3, but what I would like to know is the difference between the Mustang and Lincoln rotors. If there were no functional benefit to engineering, producing and supporting a 73mm caliper there would not be a 73mm caliper. If the 60mm was functionally similar to the 73mm why would Ford...

    custom cai

    I have been working on motorcycles for a while and what those engines want in an airbox is a large pool of still air for the engine to draw from. The bigger the air box the better and I'm sure the same holds true here. I would think the best split-the-difference system would be the conical...

    73mm Brake Caliper Help

    Here is a quote from the Max Motorsports site regarding the 73mm calipers: Best used in conjunction with a rear disk brake conversion kit, and our SVO master cylinder, BMC-1. Not recommended for use with rear drum brakes.

    Magnaflow catted H-pipe, performance or no?

    JustaGT, Did you notice any power or sound improvement? The consensus seems to be that there is little if any change in sound or power. The cats I am currently running are OEM units replaced in 1992 under recall so they are still healthy. The only reason to replace them would be if there...

    Magnaflow catted H-pipe, performance or no?

    Great news! Thanks for the tips everyone!! :SNSign: I'll divert the money from the H into the heads. I already have the Performer intake sitting in my basement waiting for heads. Now to make a decision on which ones...AFR or Eddy P's...

    Magnaflow catted H-pipe, performance or no?

    This is the clincher then. Nil power and sound improvements...no thanks! What's the point if there isn't any noticible benefit? Glad I asked since I was just about ready to plunk down my dough to pick up at least a change in the exhaust tone. I have bolt-ons done so far: 65mm TB, UD...

    Magnaflow catted H-pipe, performance or no?

    Any issues with ceramic catalyst vs. spun metal? I read somewhere that the ceramic cats don't have any stamina when it comes to rich running cars or overheating. I don't want to kill these things then have Magnaflow say it was my fault. BTW, is this a seat-of-the-pants power difference or...

    Magnaflow catted H-pipe, performance or no?

    Does anyone know if the pipes are stainless? That important piece of info is AWOL on their site too.

    Magnaflow catted H-pipe, performance or no?

    Good to know they're high flow, bad news about the fit. Actually I heard lots of good things about a consistent fit. What was off - the width of the pipes at the header or the angle?

    Magnaflow catted H-pipe, performance or no?

    I have a new catted H-pipe on my radar and wanted to go with Magnaflow. Their website sucks and when I found what I was looking for (PN: 93338) it listed their cats as universal. Down the application list was their catted X-pipe which lists performance cats. So, my question is this; does the...
