    Put a 2.3 into a 5.0 chassis?

    Friday Fun Day! Roughed out the fuel line route, and secured them in the passenger fender well, so that the fender apron could go back in. Still have some slack on each side of the fender to move things around for final positioning. The Amazon spring compressor came in today, and worked like a...

    Put a 2.3 into a 5.0 chassis?

    Just jotting down some more notes while I'm thinking about it... Suspension Coils from Team-Z Part number 14-150 These were purchased with a 351w installation in mind. I found these weights listed online, forget where... 351w - 510Lb 2.3 - 418Lb 2.3t - 450Lb I plan to run these springs, and...

    Put a 2.3 into a 5.0 chassis?

    The fuel tank took several days to get in, but it is installed!!! A few pics on the bench, then one from behind the car. I was worried it would have been more visible, but it really can’t be seen unless laying on the ground. I need to pick up a 180 AN-8 fitting for better hose routing. The...

    Build Thread Mustang5L5's Build Thread -

    Well, now I’m really curious…. Years back I mocked up and bench tested a variable speed fan controller, using an arduino, and ECT signal. Worked perfect on the bench, but car died before I could put it on the road… So, what signal are you sending to it? Using arduino? You probably have this...

    Thinking heavily about coil over on front, advice please.

    Not sure what I can add, but I'm installing a TeamZ k-member and coil over setup on my car right now... They use Strange stuff. I've been delayed a few days on finishing, due to not being able to find a suitable spring compressor locally... I think I found one on Amazon that will work, and it...

    eBay throttle body?

    This seems wild to me! :crazy: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Performance-Billet-75mm-Throttle-Body-for-86-93-Ford-Mustang-GT-Cobra-LX-5-0-V8-/362721657089?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5335821607&toolid=20001&mkevt=1 Anybody run one of these? Can they be much worse...

    Need help with fuel injectors

    I’m not sure of the function of the second O2’s? Weren’t some of these used as a confirmation of functionality of the cat? I don’t think the secondary o2 affects fuel trims…??? But I didn’t realize the 95 used a secondary o2 either, lol. The stock ecu cannot accept the signal from a wideband...

    Fox "Piston ring gap really does not matter that much"

    I don't know a lot about rings... but, they might know a thing or 2 about rings... especially the ones they make... I'm sure you could find another manufacturer that will allow you to set a tighter gap, if you decide to do so. Most rings all fall under standard sizes. How will the engine be...

    Need help with fuel injectors

    Bill, what you are saying is correct... increasing fuel pressure does in fact make a fuel injector act like a larger injector than what it is 'rated' for. In fact if you look up the specs for any injector, they don't just list the flow rating, but also provide the pressure at which that rating...

    Put a 2.3 into a 5.0 chassis?

    Slow progress… Rerouted the airbag harness, from passenger engine bay, to under the dash, then down driver side engine bay. Made an extension harness about 8ft long. Easy, but took forever, lol. I moved the alarm siren from engine bay to the driver side fender. Never liked where the...

    I dont know where waldo is

    I’ll try again… The HO(edit: should have said A9L, not HO) is sequential fire on the injectors. Not only does the spark plug order change, but so does the injector fire order. But, fuel corrections are made by bank, so moving injectors from left bank to right bank (and vice versa), will lead...

    06 Navigator as a parts donor

    My 2006 Lincoln Navigator may be done. Engine needs to come out for clean-up, maybe full rebuild. I know these engines are generally hated, and have experienced why…. But what would it actually take to swap a 3v 5.4 into a fox body, along with the 6spd automatic. I have enjoyed the airbag...

    I dont know where waldo is

    The a9l is not compatible with the NON-HO fire order. The injectors fire sequentially, and O2's correct fuel metering by bank. The a9l is confused when even small adjustments to the fuel metering are needed. If you force OL all the time, then it may be ok, if everything else is dead on, but...

    Put a 2.3 into a 5.0 chassis?

    Progress has felt slow, even though I’m dumping hours into this car… Major milestone last night though: All Part Removals are complete. Nothing but cleanup and assembly left. Engine harness was a pita to remove, as the alarm system and MSD was bundled up in it, and I had routed things through...

    That is pretty. I'd be interested in some more pics of the intercooler setup???

    I dont know where waldo is

    Is that the one next to the flux capacitor? The a9l won't work right with the non-HO fire order. You could use a chip though... does the a9L have a chip/tune in it? Did you buy this from a running setup? How were the components acquired? Might want to do some research on all parts involved...

    Fox headlight options?

    Well, I'm finding there are 2 styles of 'smoked' headlights... Smoked - lightly tinted Limo - Blackout tinted They are both growing on me, lol My paint is crap, but with limo tint on all the windows, blackout headlights might look pretty decent on a white car....

    Thanks! Do you feel like the headlights are dimmed by the smoke?
