    Maier Sub Frame Connectors

    I'll get a pic tonight to give you all a visual. I think they hug tight, but because it is towards the outside of the underbody, and the car is already a bit low, I think it is accentuated. My exhaust is ran out back through a GT valance, so no side exit issues for me.

    SN65 on E-Bay....

    That is usually the problem with building a bad a$$ car like this...you never get back what you put into them.....most of the time. At Barret J if your lucky and get two guys with deep pockets, they'll pay well in excess of what the car is worth and the seller laugh's all the way to the bank...

    Correct Fluid for T5

    The reason for ATF is that the WC T5 runs roller bearings under the gears, which makes less friction, which means a lighter oil...ie ATF. The WC T5 also runs carbon fiber blocker rings, which is what helps it achieve its higher HP and TQ ratings over the earlier T5's, which ran gear lube due...

    Please help on compressor decision

    Another Option....I have the Ingersol Rand Garage Mate Compressor. This is a cast iron, oiled unit. It is unbeliveably quiet. One of my neighbors walked by and asked what the noise was, I said my compressor...he didn't believe me at first because it was so quiet. The best thing about it, it...

    Poly Leaf Spring Bushing ?

    I am in the process of putting in new Maier leaf springs with poly bushing kit. My question is, do I use the metal casing on the front bushing? I don't think I do, but the busing set I have doesn't say either way, and I don't want to have to do this again.

    ARI Mustang on Ebay

    For nostalgic reasons I find the car very cool. However, I would never pay 200K for a car I couldn't even drive. A trailer queen to only stare at and brag about just doesn't appeal to me. I'll take an F430 for that kind of dough. Neat bit of history though.

    classic stang supercharger

    Well, I guess I would then turn to the C-4 experts, because on TCI's website (for example) they clearly state that their C-4 is NOT for use with a supercharger. When purchasing my street fighter I questioned why, their answer...it won't shift correctly because of the boost effects of the...

    classic stang supercharger

    I have researched this myself. As you pointed out there is no vaccum to make the tranny shift. So, to make a SC work with an C-4 you have to bypass the vaccum modulator and put in a manual valvebody in the transmission. This means you'll be "shifting" the car as if it were a manual. Might be...

    aftermarket C4 Tranny

    I've been running a TCI Street Fighter for a 1 1/2 years now. No problems at all. A lot of spirited driving. Putting high 300's h.p. to it and so far has held up great.

    Bad Knock...Ohhh how much will this cost?

    Well, to answer my original question "How much is this going to cost me?", Answer: $200 Problem: Flexplate bolts came loose. Easy fix, hard place to get to. Didn't think the price was too bad considering the tranny had to be dropped and replaced to make the repair. Man, feels so...

    Bad Knock...Ohhh how much will this cost?

    OK Drained the oil this weekend. No metal in the oil. Cut the filter open, no metal in the filter. Good news I gues, but what the hay is this noise? I pulled the valve covers and started it and all the rockers looked fine and were functioning fine. I forgot to mention that I run a...

    Building up a new 5.0 roller block - Questions

    Most aftermarket Ford balancers now have mounting for 3 or 4 holes. Some of the better I have seen are Romac, Summit brand (which are Australian made and very good quality), and Pioneer. I have run Summit and Pioneer, both seem to work fine. I picked up a TCP 157t 50oz Flexplate for my 5.0...

    Bad Knock...Ohhh how much will this cost?

    Fortunatly I have a Filter Mag on, so that hopefully will have kept any and all shavings, if any, from getting through the engine. I'll try pulling one plug at a time tonight to see if it will go away and go from there.

    Bad Knock...Ohhh how much will this cost?

    Well, not what I was hoping to hear, but not surprised to hear it. Looks like I've got a job ahead of me. Ford Performance Solutions in Anaheim built it. Don't know if it is too fair to say that if it is a soun bearing that it is their fault, anything can go wrong when building for high HP...
