    Caster question? (pictures)

    Shocks seem to be at the same angle. Your problem is with the lower end. Control arm, k member... It takes a lot of force to do something like that...

    My car is grinding into 2nd!

    Welcome to owning a 3650. If you are still under warranty, go to the dealer and complain. From what I have seen, it takes them a few tries to get it right, so be ready to deal with them for a while. Also, make sure any aftermarket stuff (shifter) is removed before you take it in. They love to...

    KYB AGX best bang for buck. They last forever as long as you dont drop more than 2"

    5.4 intake manifold

    HELP! I can only seem to find adaptors and manifolds for the 4V 5.4 engines. What about the 2V? -Are there any intakes for the 5.4L 2V PI headed motor? -Are there any lower intakes that I could possibly use to build an intake (was thinking I could use the piece under the supercharger off...

    School us on engines...

    After reading this whole thread, it sounds more like a big joke than anything. Just read some of the #'s and terms being thrown around. Anyways, I wouldn't run any of the cams suggested. I would just bore out my 5.4 to 8.0L and install custom ground flux capacitors with a little anerobic...

    Larger tires for stock bullitt's?

    Kuhmo ecsta mx's 275-40/17 in the rear and 255-45/17 front. absolute BEST bang for buck for any street tire! btw, you can run 275's all the way around on the stock rims. I just prefer the looks of a 255 front and 275 rear. 255 will have straight sidewall. 275 will have .125" - .25"...

    Repainting painted calipers

    Very true. I havn't had it toast off yet. And I've done a few 150+ down to 60mph "oh Shat there's a speed trap" deals... (normally followed by an "oh shat they saw me 60 - 150+ run) I did get them to smell kinda funny out at sebring, kinda like fresh painted headers... but still no burn. I...

    Repainting painted calipers

    Use a product called aircraft paint remover. I get it at advance auto. It's in a spray can. It's really thick so it wont run into places you dont want it. Worked great on mine anyways. Also, It wont react with rubber of any kind so the seals are fine. Paint with 500* engine paint color of...

    really tough question

    You can make your GT look just like a cobra for far less than buying one. And that $15,000 you would be spending after trading your car in would make for a very nice fordged motor, sweet tranny, and turbo setup... ...Thats if you like working on your car. If not, buy the cobra.

    TKO 600 or T56?

    T56 it is. Can someone clear up the drive shaft issue please? I have seen that d&d performance sells drive shafts for the T56 swap because they need to be about an inch shorter due to the longer tranny. However, I have had another local shop (who has done this swap many times) saying that...

    TKO 600 or T56?

    So how notchy is the t56 when shifting? I was running a pretty nice tr 3650 but even then shifting was a click, click operation. You would feel pressure on the syncro's, then half a second later it would go into gear. By the time im in gear, turbo has spooled down. I quess what I am asking is...

    TKO 600 or T56?

    Yup, I can put both in my car for the same price. Which one shifts smoother? and how bad is a .82 OD (I would be getting that for my OD if i were to go with the TKO 600) -Steve

    My tune consisted of me cranking up the boost and pulling the timing to +5* and then flooring it repeatedly. I Set out to destroy her, so dont be sorry:D

    School us on engines...

    Sure! as soon as the motor starts going in. Its getting put together right now. If you look at my sig you will see that I just made room for it today:D That and I'm still $3K short on what I need to finish... So I will have to start busting some arse. Hopefully I'll have some pix of the...

    School us on engines...

    I honestly didn't understand any of that. It is your right to have an opinion. Hovewer, the purpose of this site is to gain knowledge by discussing things with other people. You came on and made the statement the Torque was the deciding factor when it comes to determining what engine will...

    School us on engines...

    You talk like you dropped a few grand for some secret torque monster custom grind. You will tell people that you have a 5.4L engine but not what cams you have. Thats rediculous. That would be like me saying, Hey, I have a turbo, Drag slicks, and can do over 180mph, but I cant tell you what size...
