    Yeah, this year the Cobra will be done, and after my next deployment the new project is a BB car. I'm thinkin' 429 CJ in a '95 V-6 car, and I have no problem with cutting a hole in the hood for an 8-71 (gotta love the 3 B's, Blown Big Block). Glad some sense came into this thread. It's...

    I got mine from a Chebby dealer too. Just be sure to wear a Ford Racing hat and shirt when you go to get it :) (oh and take the Mustang too!!!

    Fan question

    Sounding more and more like a bad CCRM to me.. How many miles do you have? they typically die between 95000 and 120000 miles... You could always find a buddy with a good one and swap to see if stuff starts working again.. When my fan motor went out, it never did quit, the bearings...

    My Fellow Warriors

    For funeral detail blanks are used without blank adapters. Requires the M16 to be charged following every shot. Why did I enlist? Hell I've raised my hand 3 times now. After 7 years in the Army, wearing stripes, Crossed Sabers, Airborne wings, 3 ARCOMS and many other awards and...

    Help my Buddy with his car

    Something isn't lined up right if he's wearing on the bearing retainer. He used a stock '95 clutch fork? I'm running a TKO500 with a Lakewood and I used a Foxbody clutch fork, no issues. Doesn't stick out of the bell housing much, but nothin' rubs!

    New motor install, tuning issue - cars just dies

    Does it throw any codes? Any chance it could be TFI Module/PIP?

    High idle with timing change

    Your timing stays at 20 on Calcon regardless of RPM/throttle input is what your saying? Or does it stay at 20 at 1250 RPM? Maybe the TPS is reading a part open throttle and going into the timing table... what voltage are you getting from the TPS?

    Worst show EVER!

    If you're watching that show just now, be patient, it gets a little better. I agree though, "rich" decides who wins, not the race. The crappiest part wasn't him giving them half a track, it was him awarding a second win aferwards too, whining the whole time about the bug being faster than...

    Fan question

    Nah, it's really easy. Pull the plastic cover, disconnect the ccrm harness, remove the bracket holding it in place along with the coolant reservoir, and unbolt/remove the fan shroud entirely. the fan is held to the motor by a clip, simply pop the clip off, clean the shaft with a wire brush...

    Is this normal?

    You can adjust them via the TwEECer. Mine compression brakes harder than any 5.0 I've ever driven.

    What parts i need for T5 to TKO/TKO500 swap

    Because the 10 spline input shaft is what breaks on a TKO500 first, typically. Especially given a heavy car, sticky tires, and hard launches. Upgrade to a 26spline input and that weak link goes away. Now the 1st gear becomes a liability, higher ratio=more teeth, more teeth in this case means...

    T-5 info please!

    Search around for G-Force T-5 stuff. Reportedly you'll break your tranny casing before you'll break the internals of a G-force T-5. You may end up having to change input shaft length, I don't imagine there's a bellhousing out there to use the bastard child longer input shaft from a '94-95...

    What parts i need for T5 to TKO/TKO500 swap

    Yeah, but the input shaft is the weak point on the TKO500. I'd bet the 1st gear is the other one. So, upgrade the input shaft and there goes a weak link.... I'm probably gonna look into one of the slick shift D&D setups. If nothing else I'm probably simply going to send my current tranny...

    94-95 Tach Pod???

    Paul's High Performance makes a couple of brackets for SN95 cars IIRC.

    detunning the 351w

    I'd go that route too. My 4900 pound truck has a 351W in it, the best I've gotten for MPG was 18-19 really really babying it. The cam in it is supposedly the same as a 95 Mustang GT, I still have E7 Heads and a stock intake, cam and computer. I've noticed the 351 is more RPM sensitive...

    Header gaskets

    The coppers are ok, the composite ones that come with some MAC shorties were crap.

    double trouble: 94GT & Cobra

    Clean IAC, Clean MAF, check for proper TPS operation, as a last resort have O2 sensors checked or replace them if you know they have over 50,000 on them. Your dizzy should be fine, a bad PIP or module the car will die with your foot on the gas.

    What parts i need for T5 to TKO/TKO500 swap

    Okay. The TKO500 can be had with a 26 spline input shaft and will handle close to the 600 lb ft that a TKO600 will. In actuality most places sell the TKO500 26 spline tranny either the same price or within about 20 bucks of a TKO600 with the highway OD. I would highly recommend the 26...

    SN65 open house - FINALLY

    Hey guys any of you that get the chance, go and see that car. I saw it and met Bob at WFC9 in STL, it is an amazing creation!

    Cold Air intake.

    I have had a MAC kit since 1999, no problems with it, the chrome looks brand new after a little Mother's chrome polish, however it won't fit an LMAF so I'm gonna make my own, AFM Powerpipe style that shoots straight for the fender and puts the MAF down there. I plan on using either exhaust...
