    5.0 swap info

    we did my friends notch that way. We basically took his perfectly fine GT and put all that stuff in his 4 banger notch. Took us a week and a lot of beer. This swap is not something that should be sped through. I am in the process of doing it to my 86 notch and it has been 2 months already but it...

    Stupidest thing you've ever heard about car performance

    those idiots crack me up. They put a fart can on their car and they automatically have a 10 second car. There was an idiot like that in high school with a neon while I was driving a 86 Notch . this kid had a regular neon, a 5 inch monster tach, Can Can exhaust, Boeing 747 wing, and a miss...

    Question for all you fox guys.

    I've owned different stangs throughout the years. New edge GT's are comfy, pretty quick, and good for road trips. My 86 GT is a bouncy car to drive and I dd it. It is fast and loud. I wouldn't trade it for the world. If I had to do it again I would get an 89 5speed notch.

    Stupidest thing you've ever heard about car performance

    I hear a kid talking about his Honda at the track. He said he added some HP when he put on a cold air and a can can muffler. He said he was pushing 300 HP. He pulls up to the line and runs a 10.53(down the 1/8 mile). We ask when he gets back to the return lane what happened. He said it was hot...

    california emissions

    as long as you have the cats, All OEM smog pump stuff, and C.A.R.B aftermarket perts you'll be ok. I passed with no mufflers but good Idea to get a set. Also they pressure test the fuel system and the gas cap in this state. Crappy California

    lower times in the 1/8

    Ok before my tranny crapped out I was running 9.1@77mph at Irwindale doing the AOD shuffle. Now I got another AOD (came out of a truck) with the Valve body and govenor out of the Mustang tranny. I also did the Epoxy mod and put in a B&M Shift kit. Will my times improve?:flag:

    Keep car stock or modify

    mod it. You'll have to wait 10-20 years before it starts to gain value

    is it really this slow?

    Yeah with that setup you should be in the low 13s. I have a stock 86 block, e7 heads, bbk shortys, and ford countour fans and I hit 14.02@95 at California Speedway. Something is wrong. Run a compression test to make sure you got good comepression.

    is nitrous illegal?

    IT is illegal to have the bottle hooked up. You can have the NOS bottle in the car just can't be hooked up. Most cops don't care. It is when you use your nitrous that the cops care. Most are cool enough though. Ontario, CA and Riverside on the other hand are dicks when it comes to NOS. :flag:

Like and idiot I didn't have insurance(not street driven mainly a drag car). Well about 6 months later I got a call at...
