    Fox Novi 2k Install Checklist

    There is some clearancing you have to do to the bracket. If you have a die grinder you can do this pretty easy. Or a dremel will work but slower. Any reason for the 3G? Big stereo or underdrive pulleys?

    Fox Novi 2k Install Checklist

    Powerpipe is ok but know that you will have to cut out the inner fender a bit. Can get sloppy if you dont do it right. You can slice some rubber hose down the middle and use it for a liner. Personally I would just install what the blower comes with if it comes with anything on the tuner kits...

    88 stang hi what kind of mods can you do to my 88 with speed density,

    You can do anything, people even supercharge the SD cars, you just need a check valve going up to the MAP. But.. I just converted my 88GT to MAF because I went 347 with a large cam and supercharger. Makes it easier for tuning ya know. SD cars don't handle a lot of mods too well, especially...

    Fox Novi 2k Install Checklist

    I thought you guys in Cali were banned from working on your own cars? Get the Aeromotive Stealth 340 LPH, replaces your stock in-tank pump, no need for new lines. You will probably be looking at 30# injectors for your setup, 42#'s would be fine but probably not needed. You can always throw...

    Engine Crankshaft oil slinger

    No crank slinger on these, from the factory they have a slinger on the front of the cam gear. Lot of people leave these off during rebuilds. Crane sells a parts kit for these kinds of things.. https://lmr.com/item/LRS-6287BK/1986-95-Mustang-Engine-Finishing-Hardware-Kit-for-Efi

    Motor Swap, You Decide!

    Looks very nice! Well I went ahead and pulled the trigger. I am almost done with the build, just need a new catback as this one turned out to be ProFlo and the pipes to the mufflers are bent in all crazy angles and wont mate up to the shorty Hpipe. I could cut them off and put new pipes to...

    Motor Swap, You Decide!

    Great write up, I appreciate the thought and honesty that went into this. I'm pretty confused though, the DSS CNC shortblocks, while they are a stock XXX block, they are prepped as much as possible. With the addition of the girdle, it should be strong enough to handle 550hp. I know the story...

    Motor Swap, You Decide!

    Sounds like you HAVE to change the motor, that stinks. I think I have decided to swap the motor out after I finish my thesis project. Got about a month left but I will have some extra time to spend with the car at that point. I will preserve all the original equipment in case I ever sell the...

    Motor Swap, You Decide!

    This is where I feel that I am at right now, after owning so many mustangs and modifying the crap out of every single one of them, now as I near my 40's, I feel as though I just want a car I can take to shows and cruise on nice sunny days. Hey, by the way, I notice you are in Connecticut. I am...

    Motor Swap, You Decide!

    Great conversation people, this is why I always liked it here. To answer a few of the questions, yes I do plan on keeping this car. I have had so many mustangs but haven't owned a fox for about 15 years or so. I've been mostly doing Cobras for the last decade but always had an ear out for a...

    Motor Swap, You Decide!

    I agree that things can be undone but also are unlikely, haha. If I do pull the trigger I will be extra careful to retain all parts, labeling them accordingly, as well as to not cut anything on the car or perform anything that cannot be undone. I could even purchase another harness so I wont...

    Motor Swap, You Decide!

    Ok StangNet... It's been a while since I've been very active on this forum, however, I feel that this is the most reasonable place to pose this question. I purchased a gem of a Mustang last winter and at the same time I found some great deals on some parts. First, this car is a 1988 Mustang GT...

    What's it Worth? Transmission Value

    Guess it would depend on the mileage and the market in which you're selling them. Low mileage, maybe $500-750? Rebuilt AOD is going for $1000-1500. What year?

    Engine 1993 Freshly Buily 347 Seized?

    I am building a 347 right now and something I've been finding is that most 347 cranks can't take an OEM pilot bearing because they don't seat all the way and the input shaft of the trans puts forward pressure on the crank, causing the thrust bearing to go bad in a matter of minutes.

    low mile,all original 7up, should I upgrade it or not?

    True but most buyers wouldn't have that skill set and welded components makes them a little more weary, personally if I were to sell it I would put it back to original myself prior to sale. Being in the business you have a unique and valuable skillset. If you must do subframe connectors, do...

    low mile,all original 7up, should I upgrade it or not?

    Ha, I'm actually struggling with this as well. I picked up a beautiful Scarlett Red 88 GT that has 43k original miles, speed density system and immaculate condition. I've already got a huge stash of parts sitting aside to include Edelbrock heads and intake, long tubes, mass air conversion with...
