    I guess the place where the connector plugs in is a freeze plug style if that helps anyone.

    engine swap question

    So I'm almost finished swapping a stock 2k gt block for an 04' explorer block. There are just a couple of things that are holding me up. On our gt iron blocks there is a little three pronged red connector that plugs into a socket on the passenger side of the block just under the last exhaust...

    2008 GT500KR... another limited edition none of us can afford

    Oh well, the KR is currently out of my price range. I'd be happy with a special edition that fell between the gt and the cobra, the shelby gt is a performance joke imo.

    self engine swap feeler

    Ok, so my new long block is on the way here and I keep thinking maybe I should try to do it myself and save about 2g's in labor so I can still do some stuff with my stereo and not have my wife cut my jewels off. I this something a couple amature mechanics can do in a weekend or should I just...

    Missing oil flow screwed my heads

    After calming down for a bit I'm leaning towards just 1 new head and pulling the other and having the valves enlarged just for Esses and Gees as long as I'm half way there anyay. On a second note, I don't know to be happy I've been using nothing but synthetics or if I wish I had been using...

    Missing oil flow screwed my heads

    I think I need a bunch of opinions here. I was expecting to com in here today raving about my new cams but when my mechanic pulled my cams out we had seen that some robot/****face never drilled an oil flow so my stock cam and head are pretty much ****ed. I have just over 100k on my car so I...

    Will 6 1/2's fit in my door?

    Yeah I know it will need some fab, I mean wen I put the tweets in the upper mounts that alone is gonna be a PITA, I was just wondering how much cutting I would have to do.

    Will 6 1/2's fit in my door?

    Like it says, will those fit with no problem or will there be cutting I will need to do? And how about in the rear, I asume it's the same as the door. I searched and had seen that a few of you have them in your stangs but I was wondering about the fit you had. Crutchfield is kinda vague on...

    So here's the rumors of the first numbers from the Trick Flow Intake...

    I'm just stepping in to add something, note that I am really really bad at math so.. This is just talking about increases in trq and hp over the stock numbers right? There is actually hp there it's not at 0hp. I thought I had seen certain setups that can drop hp but increase trq, mainly in...

    Excessive Play in Steering column after road race practice

    I guess if all that doesn't solve it there is a rubber isolator right above your rag joint that tends to wear out. But I couldn't see that getting better over time so I'd look towards the fluid explanation more.

    coolant light sometimes stays on

    Just like the title, Every now and again when I start my car the dummy light stays on for the coolant. My temp gauge seems ok and usually if you shut the car off and restart it goes off but it's a PITA and I figure I might be ignoring a bigger problem. Anyone have an idea what it might be. I've...

    Christmas day gauge install disaster! :mad:

    Yes, this is one of the times that I wish I had ventured on to stangnet before I decided to do this. Look towards the sticky about changing to blue LED's for 8 dollars instead.. :SNSign:

    Christmas day gauge install disaster! :mad:

    I'll look at it again after I go get some stuff at the auto store and then take a picture. Currently te dash only turns on when I turn my dimmer setting all the way up until it clicks, the headlight knob. Sad thing is I didn't catch that last night, my excuse is it was getting cold in there...

    Christmas day gauge install disaster! :mad:

    I got it pretty close to good now, however.... I didn't notice last night because I didn't take my car out for a spin, but that grey wire that the instructions said to connect the positive too turns on when i turn on my over head light.. Uggg. What wire did you connect yours too?
