    IRS to solid axle swap

    I've used Crazy Horse in South Amboy...they welded in my subframe connectors. I was pleased with their work. I've heard nothing but good things about LaRocca's as well. What gear ratio is in your IRS?? Also, would anything else be needed like bushings, shocks, springs, etc? I know you said...

    IRS to solid axle swap

    I've got about 55k on mine, but only bout 15k on the 4.10 gears. No hurry here. I have thought about swapping to the Cobra IRS, but never thought I'd have the resources to do it. If you are seriously interested in doing this, keep me in mind. But as I said, I'm not in a hurry either. WES

    Are quad shocks really needed??

    thanks for the replies.....that's what I thought. Any recommendations as to which control arms to go with. This is just going to be a street car with about 200-225hp to the wheels with 2.3 Turbo. WES

    Are quad shocks really needed??

    I have an 8.8 rear axle from an '88 TurboCoupe that I plan on putting in my '92 Notch. I really don't want to re-drill the mounting holes for the quad shocks, though. Are quad shocks really necessary if I use some decent aftermarket upper and lower control arms?? I figure anything (even the...

    painted autometer gauge bezel

    I'll be adding some gauges to an autometer gauge bezel (the one that surrounds the instrument cluster and has two gauges in it). It comes in black, but I have the medium graphite color in my 2001 GT's interior. Has anyone painted this bezel with the interior paints from Late Model Resotration...

    01 GT Mustang Towing capacity?

    I was towing a 600lb Jet Ski with my GT for a while with no problems. I think that the max towing capacity is 1000lbs. WES

    Help: weird Electrical problem during start-up

    I had the same problem a few years ago after hooking up my audio system. Turns out the positive wire on the battery was loose and caused the ecu to "reset" it self evertime I started the car. The guages do a full sweep at start up everytime you disconnect it from power. Double check that your...

    Anyone know where there is a 12v positive & negative power source in dash??

    Sure you can run to the fuse box....that's what I did. I used two of the mini fuse taps to run the wires to the gauges in my A-Pillar. One for power and the other one ran to the "auto-dim" circuit so the illumination would dim with the rest of the dash lights. For power, I think I used the...

    v.7r43a Predator

    You'll certainly benefit from it and it will correct the speedo for the 4.10s. I felt a nice SOTP increase from the Predator with my mods (check sig for mods). It changes a few things like timing and fuel, etc. You can also manually adjust the timing as well, but it isn't as easy as setting...

    v.7r43a Predator

    just curious....has anyone contacted DiabloSport about the speedo issues with the Predators? I'm wondering what they're answer is? Cross your fingers; I'm updating to the latest revision this weekend....hopefully it all goes smoothly, otherwise I'll go back to my original version (thanks...

    v.7r43a Predator

    Yup r50 is what I'll upgrade to, but I want to be able to go back to the r42b program that I have now if the upgrade doesn't work. I've read a few posts about people losing the speedo and other problems after upgrading their Predators (read the first post from 281Ponies in this thread). I just...

    v.7r43a Predator

    Hey Pertums, think you can send those files my way? I'm thinking of updating my Predator to r50, but want a way to return to the original file if I need to....not looking foward to the problems 281Ponies had. My Predator came with r42b and I saw in your other post that you have that file. If...

    Tall intake under oem hood?

    SVOs and Merkurs have the taller upper intake. 87-88 TurboCoupes have the shorter intake. More info is available here: http://fordturbo.com/option2.html & here: http://fordturbo.com/option6.html Don't know about the Rangers, though. Thanks for the help Dr_Elusive and Mr_Woodster. WES

    Tall intake under oem hood?

    From what I've seen the "short" intake has "2.3 Liter EFI" on it while the "tall" intake doesn't (maybe because it's on the valve cover). I'm sure someone will chime in if i'm mistaken. I just measured the "tall" one for you and it is exactly 8" high to the top of the intake (where the TB...

    Tall intake under oem hood?

    Will the taller intake fit under the stock hood of my '92 Mustang? I want to use the valve cover that doesn't have the "dip" in it on my '88 TC motor when i put it in the stang so i'll need the taller intake. Thanks, WES
