    94 mustang color iris metallic?

    I've seen those around from time to time. Looks like nothing more than faded laser red. My laser red car faded to be that color. Before I had it painted rio red.

    How much power do you think I could make...

    I think I'm probly going to hold off on the gears for now. Until I can afford a 6 speed with double overdrive anyway.

    Six speed swap for a 5 speed?

    Why do you say that? Wouldn't 3.90's (or 4.10's) in the rear end make the .50 OD worth it?

    Six speed swap for a 5 speed?

    That isn't really the trans I'm looking for. The one I want has a .50 6th gear. That's an excellent overdrive gear for cruising the highway.

    Six speed swap for a 5 speed?

    Anyone know if the 6 speed out of the 2011 GT will work? I know there is a cheaper way to do this than 4 grand. Even if I do have to wait until some shop or someone somewhere will give me a tranny itself for dirt cheap or free. 1 more gear just isn't worth nearly 4 thousand bucks, any way you...

    Car seems a little "cold blooded"

    Well the check engine light is not on. So I can assume that the computer will still store trouble codes even when the engine light isn't on?

    Best set of aftermarket street heads for a 94?

    Learn something new every day! I always just thought it was: The more aggressive the head, the higher the cost.

    Car seems a little "cold blooded"

    Well, now it does the same thing any time I'm trying to take off from first. The car still idles alright, but you can feel some kind of miss. When you're sitting in the driver's seat, you can see and feel the car slightly jiggle. It's not trying to die at idle, its just that you can feel that...

    Six speed swap for a 5 speed?

    All this for one more gear. I guess I'll probly stick with the 5 speed for a long time. Or just get a used drop in ready unit. But what about getting a 6 speed out of a newer mustang? Find some trashed junkyard 2011 GT and get the 6 speed out of it? Would that end up being a cheaper cost?

    Best set of aftermarket street heads for a 94?

    Will all those heads still work pretty well with a fairly mild cam? I want to have a cam that is just barely under what you will notice inside the car. I'm not really into having a car that feels like its jumping all around. I'm all about the smoothness lol

    Six speed swap for a 5 speed?

    Well, here is the list of stuff you have to buy and install to make it work. Got this from a guy who has done it. He says that if you got the transmission itself for free, it would probably be worth it. But given the prices he gave me for the stuff, it looks to me like you'd still be saving a...

    Car seems a little "cold blooded"

    Ok this next one is probably a dumb question but is that something that you need to take off to clean? Or is it something that berryman's throttle body cleaner can fix by spraying it in there?

    Car seems a little "cold blooded"

    Got a brand new MAF on the car. Where is the IAC motor? Is that the thing on the side of the throttle body?

    Six speed swap for a 5 speed?

    I didn't think it was nearly as impossible as some people make it out to be. I've heard of it being done, but it was about 5 years back. Someone should put together a kit... might be some money in it.

    Best set of aftermarket street heads for a 94?

    Ah. I was just assuming that $1k of heads was going to be pretty high quality out of the box. I'm a bit of an aftermarket cylinderhead noob, I'm afraid. So when you say "higher quality" does that mean you can make more power with stuff that is higher quality, but isn't any more aggressive...

    Car seems a little "cold blooded"

    Hi all. I seem to be having a little trouble out of my 94GT (bone stock) when I first fire it up for the day. When I start the car when the motor is cold, it seems to idle ok. But then when you go to put it in reverse, or even 1st gear, it starts choking up and trying to die. It seems to get...

    Six speed swap for a 5 speed?

    I know they don't fit, but they can be modified to fit. Its been done, but some people think the cost and labor involved is too much to justify it. I was going to go around to all the junkyards and search until I could find one for free or next to free, one that needed to be rebuilt. Then I'd...

    Best set of aftermarket street heads for a 94?

    Well if you get better hardware for your heads, aren't you actually decreasing the "streetability"? I mean if you're gonna do more valve lift, and more spring rate, and on and on, don't you need a bigger cam that is going to decrease ride quality?

    Six speed swap for a 5 speed?

    I've always wanted to have a 6-speed transmission in a 94GT. I've seen the prices online for the drop in kits, and they're pretty high and quite franky don't seem worth the money just for one more gear. However, there is one method that might be affordable enough. The borg warner 6 speeds...

    Best set of aftermarket street heads for a 94?

    Guess I'm going trick flow then heh. I certainly don't want to do any bottom end work until I have to. But what kind of packaging do the TF street heads come with? All this talk about lousy parts has me a little concerned. Are the valve springs and rockers etc. of sufficient quality?
