    B Spring Question

    Actually, 'B' springs have the same spring rate as 87+ Fox V-8s (425-530F and 200-300R progressive rate springs). Infact if you were to cut the stock springs it would increase their stiffness beyond the 'B' springs, but that is a whole other set of calculations and plausible risks. You are...

    5.0 Emblems (Resto vs OEM)

    Will do iwashmycar. Figured it may be a case of, you get what you pay for. But I wanted to ask here first incase someone responded with 'get the cheaper ones, I compared them and they are the exact same'. Two bucks more for one side, plus another $17 =+$19 ;)

    how about a $44,000 93 cobra and not an a R.

    To each his own :cheers: The 00' Cobra R just isn't old enough yet, only 300 of them were produced. They will see a lot more money as well in years to come, and I still wouldn't pay it. Even though it's more 'Race' compared to an 00 GT than a 93 R is compared to a 93 GT. I'd rather have...

    I wouldn't pay $25K even if it was an R

    5.0 Emblems (Resto vs OEM)

    Tried doing a search, not specific enough results. I'm looking to replace the 5.0 fender emblems as the paint is chipping and are dull. Wondering who has purchased the cheaper replicas from 50resto and how they compared to the originals (thickness, shine, etc...)? Both sides are $15, but...

    5-lug, advice on application

    Shaker, do you have a link for the wheels/company? I happen to be getting black bullitts :nice: I think for the first set of tires, smaller will be safer. I've run BFGs and Sumi's, and the consensus seems to be they are on the wider side compared to others. Currently I have 245-50-16s on...

    5-lug, advice on application

    So in theory my application (17x9, 94-98axles) should be similar to your #1-4 pics. I definately don't want to run a 17x9 sn95 with my axles as I don't like that pushed out look (realize your last pic is a 17x8 wheel but with axle difference should be about the same appearance). With your 05...

    5-lug, advice on application

    Yeah I want to avoid rolling the lips, at least initially. It'd be another battle to find a shop that can roll them properly and clean looking. The fenders don't look to have any damage/rust after 21 years, so it'd kill me if something happened to em after rolling. I'm thinking along the same...

    5-lug, advice on application

    Thanks for the clarification 5L5. This will save a lot of money, as I'll have almost everything needed. Another question about the dust shields. Not doubting what you said but, I was looking on 50resto and they list front dust shields for 94-95, 96-98, and 99-04 separately at different...

    5-lug, advice on application

    Background: To save money I'm gathering my 5-lug conversion pieces used, here and there. I originally wanted to run 17x8 Bullitts up front and 17x9 out back, and was going to get Fox Length axles and NRC brackets. However, I came across 94 V6 spindles and axles for cheap (paid the same as the...

    Power steering whine?

    Type F is an Automatic Transmission Fluid, which our Foxes also happen to use for PS. I'm sure Ford bottles up (ESW-M2C33-F spec I believe) Type F fluid and labels it PS fluid with an X times price tag, but it is the same fluid as a jug of ATF Type F. Now what you wouldn't want to do is...

    No Crank, now fine, or is it?

    Yes I realize it would be futile to test now, with the car starting problem free. I meant I'd pm Hissin (cuz he's always around) if the car soon has starting issues and I didn't understand something. I also know you prolly think it's the solenoid based on what I've described here by jumping it.

    No Crank, now fine, or is it?

    Thanks for the help, much clearer now. I'll send you a pm if I don't understand something while testing.

    No Crank, now fine, or is it?

    Let's assume it does light, I would then check between the lugs and the connections where the wires land? Light illuminates at each point, solenoid is fine. If the light doesn't illuminate between different points the solenoid is likely faulty, if it doesn't light at just one point, that...

    No Crank, now fine, or is it?

    My tests on the solenoid were just with a screwdriver. However, from reading jrichkers posts I was under the impression that; A) Jumping the big lugs and if it cranked the starter and power wiring is good - B) Jumping the smaller lug with the big lug and if it cranked meant the solenoid was...

    No Crank, now fine, or is it?

    Sorry for the length, but I want to include everything for your expertise/opinions. Went to storage yesterday to get the stang out for spring. Brought my booster pack with me, as the battery wasn't trickle charged and might not have had enough juice. Go to start the car, volt gauge (stock)...

    FRPP or Melling Pump, Opinions

    What is a ported oil pump? Something to do with increasing flow I presume, but could you elaborate on the idea. I will be getting a hardened shaft, for sure.

    FRPP or Melling Pump, Opinions

    I need to do an oilpan gasket change on the 87, might as well replace the pump too. Was reading some negative comments about the Melling M68 OE pump being made el cheapo now, and grenading. Would the FRPP unit be a good alternative? Negatives/positive, or is it the exact same pump, with Ford...
