    Fox headlight options?

    Smoked lights look great on yours, I think because of the dark paint. My car is white though, I don't think it would look 'right'... Thanks guys, I'll check back at LMR (pretty sure that's where the last ones came from).

    Fox headlight options?

    My car will need headlights and side markers. Last set I got (don’t recall where) leaked on driver side. Caused bulb to start shorting out, and it was always dimmed due to moisture… I definitely like clear. Pics appreciated, but sources will help too. Not even sure who sell them anymore…

    Engine IAC adjust spacer plate factory settings

    Yep, a tuner should know exactly what to do, if he doesn’t…. Might consider finding another tuner, lol. It was easy to do with a moates quartehorse and binary editor, if you are into diy…

    Engine IAC adjust spacer plate factory settings

    Maybe my memory is hazy, and ratchet does reset each startup, it’s a 15yr old memory at this point, lol. I guess the point I was kind of dancing around, was that I don’t think these plates will do much of anything for low speed bucking issues, especially when a cam has been installed, as...

    Engine IAC adjust spacer plate factory settings

    I realize this is a while ago, but this statement seems fishy to me... The ecu has a RATCH feature on the TPS idle value. Basically, the ecu learns whatever the lowest TPS value is over time, and uses that as the throttle closed value (idle). If driving around this morning yielded an idle...

    Put a 2.3 into a 5.0 chassis?

    Sold the 2.3 LX rolling chassis today. Only worked about half a day on the GT today, then went to pick up a 2.3 t5. Looks pretty good, and gears will be much more appropriate than trying to use the v8 t5. Removed the tailpipe from the passenger side. The drivers side has more room due to the...

    Put a 2.3 into a 5.0 chassis?

    Well the pics are with the kmember still lose, but yes, there does seem to be plenty of room. Won’t be able to mock it up again until the engine goes into the car. What engine mount are you using?

    Put a 2.3 into a 5.0 chassis?

    Thanks Monkeybutt. Called team z yesterday, they weren’t aware of anyone one ever using this drop kmember with a 2.3, but couldn’t think of a reason it wouldn’t work…. So here I go!!! Before and after of the engine mount. The driver side looks like it will drop right into place. K-member is...

    What's it Worth? 1989 LX Roller - Worth?

    I wasn’t sure on the ac…. Is the pump likely to bolt on to a 5.0/5.8?

    What's it Worth? 1989 LX Roller - Worth?

    I put it on marketplace for now. I hate FB, but can’t deny that the world seems to revolve around it now… I’ll try to update here if it sells, as a point of reference…

    Injector size- 2006 Navigator

    I’m just finding conflicting info in my searches… Want to make sure I know what needs to go in this 5.4 engine. 19’s, 24’s, or something else? Anyone have a resource they can trust? Thanks,

    What's it Worth? 1989 LX Roller - Worth?

    Thanks I listed it a while back complete, all interest was as a v8 car to convert. I will list it local… Ya, no mentionable rust…

    What's it Worth? 1989 LX Roller - Worth?

    1989 Mustang LX Roller - $1,500 Clear Title This was an original 2.3 auto car. Paint will clean up better than the pics show, I just didn’t wash it well after it sat for a while. There is one dent behind the passenger fender, the rest of the body is great. The stud for drivers seat needs to...

    Put a 2.3 into a 5.0 chassis?

    So, projects have fitment issues…. Here’s one… The stock 2.3 engine mount on the passenger side has a lip on the bottom of the mounting/contact plate. The pic shows it… Pretty sure I can just hack the lip off of the mount, but I’ll put a call in to Team Z tomorrow… This K-member would drop a...

    Planning a 5 speed swap. anything special to look for?

    Jack stands similar as above, in the lowest position for stability, and I’ve always had plenty of room under the car.

    K member question

    I did my swap years ago... But, I recall just about every 'generation' needed different backspacing on the wheels. What is the backspacing on the wheels you have? I think I have 95 control arms in the front, and 95 8.8 in the rear of my 1990 GT. I think the 95 control arms move the wheels...

    Put a 2.3 into a 5.0 chassis?

    :nice:Safe to say, this is now a project. The Navigator should be out of the shop in a few days, maybe end of the week… I have other transportation secured until then.

    Put a 2.3 into a 5.0 chassis?

    Managed to pull the 2.3 ecu and harness last night. Once I pull the Corbeau seat, the 2.3 LX chassis is ready to sell, which will get some money available for other 2.3 junk. Was also able to get the 5.0 GT chassis up on the rack. Won’t get much done today, but should be starting on the GT...

    Put a 2.3 into a 5.0 chassis?

    Junkyardwarrior, Thanks, you confirmed a lot of things I’ve found over the last few days… The clutch cable is different on 2.3. I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it, but don’t expect that to be terribly difficult. The t5 trans would be a dog, I agree. I want to say 1st is 2.95 in the one I...
