    Painted my turbines- what do you think?

    Hey guys, thanks for the positive feedback. Yeah, they're almost too shiny for the paint. I hit the fender with some Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax this week to try and offset the shiny wheels. . haha I haven't had time to do the two rears yet, but will try and get to it tomorrow night. After that...

    Painted my turbines- what do you think?

    Thanks man. I think they look much better than they did before. . they were corroded, clearcoat flaking off, etc. Now they look nice again, and a little different at the same time. Not bad for $15 and a few hours, imo.

    Explorer head ID boneyard number question

    The tough part is that I need to order these online. Sounds to me like the F67E-BA's are the GT40's, F77E-BA's are the GT-40P's I guess what I'm asking is if I get heads from a 97 Explorer 5.0 they're gonna be GT-40 or GT-40 P nothing else.. right??

    Explorer head ID boneyard number question

    I know, I know another Explorer head question right? Well I've researched this but could not come up with this info. I called a few local yards in search of these GT-40's and they all say that I need to 'ID" the heads that are on it so I get the right ones. Either F67E-BA or F77E-BA. Anyone...

    Best way to soften leather seats?

    Hey guys, I have an '88 GT Vert and like almost all the rest, my seats were crap. I managed to get a pair from a '97 GT (black leather- good lookin' ) and they bolted right in (with a little wiring modification) and work perfectly. Great price too! ($90/pr) My question is that since this...

    Anyone with 3.73 gears?

    Really? I'm doing a JYTT project this winter, and am trying to research which gears to get for this project. You'd really stick with the stock ones for turbo? I heard a 3.55 was a good choice- a little more go, but not too much that you lose your RPM band. Can you expand on your response...

    gas gauge is a POS!!

    Another gas gauge problem here. . Mine did what you guys are saying, stays above full for a while, then when it starts going down, it goes down FAST. . Now, since I've replaced my fuel pump (dead) with a Walbro, it stays at above full, no matter what.. I'm gonna check my wiring first...
