    Build or Blower?

    The Mach is reaching a point where it's reaching level 2 mods. I have some money to play but not enough to everything I want all at once. I've Procharged a GT in the past and that was great fun until the inevitable occurred. I damaged a piston because... you know...stock pistons and rods are...

    How thick are the 7.5inch axles? (No BS, i measure 5inches)

    i'm pretty sure when people say 7.5" axle or 8.8" axle, they are actually referring to the ring gear diameter. The big cog that encircles the differential. Or am I about to learn something new? :nice:

    2004 Mach 1 OBDII Help

    I'm siding with WMBurns on this. I have a newer OBD2 scanner thats supposed to have all those bells and whistles as well. Used it on my Dad's 01 Lightning to find that the majority of those features do not apply to these elder OBD2 cars. I immediately assumed it to be the age of the vehicle...

    Trying to clean the MAF but need that special tool? ($10 security Torx)

    Great tip man. If only you posted that about 4 years ago. I've already spent the money. Still, good looking out.

    Perhaps it was for the best. I've had to get rid of cars that seemed cursed. Had a red 88 firebird. The thing kept getting hit. Even when parked. Loved the car but the world was conspiring to destroy it. You got a reliable driver now and there will never be a shortage of mustangs to pick up...

    2001 Cobra (kind of) Revs high between shifts

    It could be a tune issue but there's a good chance that there's a vacuum leak. If its an air to air intercooler there's plenty of connections between piping that could need some tightening up. If you replaced the iac i recommend disconnecting the battery until the computer goes into relearn...

    2001 Cobra (kind of) Revs high between shifts

    I see you're supercharged. Is that something that you've put on recently? What kind of supercharger and do you have a cold air kit on the supercharger inlet? Pretty much list your mods.

    Based on your luck with this engine, i would find another mill and start with a clean slate. Funding is another factor. Do you have another ride for your daily? If so, wait til the money's right. Never sink yourself into debt for a hobby car. The car can sit for a bit til you get money together...

    What to use on plugs in aluminum heads?

    I just put them in dry and torque them to 13 lbs. Hasn't stripped a plug. Never had one fire out on me either.

    30lb MAF

    These MAFs aren't like the old fox bodies. You can choose a more capable MAF or stay with stock, depending on the power levels of the engine after your modifications. You will have to have a hand held tuner and tune the MAF (new or stock) to play nice with the new injectors and engine air...

    Jumper cable reverse hookup conundrum

    Agree with above. First things first. Test the battery and alternator. Let us know the results.

    2003 mustang GT cricket like chirp in rear end

    I usually associate the chirp with front ball joints. If your new upper and lower rear control arms came with polyurethane bushings, they may need to have some marine or bearing grease applied to quiet them down.

    This is turning into a war of attrition. Those rocker you bought are the 05 06 Ford GT Supercar rockers. That's what all the 4v guys seem to use when they cam up the engines. They should be stronger than the standard replacement or the Mellings. Hopefully, you don't have a stuck valve...

    Front Strut Bellow

    Most of the time the caster camber kits come with instructions that will tell you what to do with the bellows. I've had FRPP and Maximum Motorsports kits and both required modification of the bellow and supplemental part that came with the cc plates. There may also be some types of struts that...

    Throttle Body

    Long tube headers are good boost in power. Probably about 15 hp to the wheels. To do them you will have to get a tune and either get a mid pipe that will fit it or cut and weld your existing mid pipe. It will require O2 sensor extenders. The task is a bit difficult but I have done a couple...

    Yep. That'll make some noise. You're really having to sort out this valvetrain. Hopefully that fixes all of it.

    Hopefully the piston is okay. What springs you going to run? What cams you got?

    04 Gt Front Pads Larger Than 04 Cobra?

    It's true. Didn't seem to make sense to me either when i first noticed it. Guess the real stopping power of the cobra brakes is in the 2 piston calipers and the extra diameter of the rotor.
