    Can I make a 5.0 handle?

    What kind of weight dist does a stock notch 5.0 have? Once I get to the point I plan on getting a tubular K member so I can push the engine back 1 in to improve balance. I wish money were no object but since it is I might just end up sticking to a 5.0 until I get everything else finished...

    About to buy a mustang, good buy?

    Yeah I would keep looking. Sometimes you get a good deal and end up on top but I think even if you paid $500 for it you might end up putting a lot more into it to get it into good condition. Save your money for a little longer and then shop for one in the 3-5K range. Cash talks and keep the...

    Can I make a 5.0 handle?

    BTW...I checked kbb and they list the stats as 2950 but my sill tag from Nissan lists it at 3750lbs. What gives?

    Can I make a 5.0 handle?

    Not a full cage. Maybe just a roll bar. My wife would fuss if she had to climb over a cage to get in. As far as moving the engine...I would fix the suspension and then maybe one day when I pulled the motor for building I would move it back.

    Can I make a 5.0 handle?

    Yep, you are right. I misread my info on my doorsil. As far as the 4.6 how much weight would it save and I have to have A/C...I live in florida...It is 97 degrees today.

    Can I make a 5.0 handle?

    Yeah a 6L truck motor would weigh as much as the rest of the car. I was looking for a 50/50 weight dist not 70/30. I noticed that on some of the tubular k Members you could shift the engine back 1in. Has anyone ever done this and if so how much does it help the weight dist?

    Can I make a 5.0 handle?

    That is a little bit more to my liking and I might just stay under budget. If I want something more powerful later on I would build it. I kinda wanted to stay with a 302 to keep from changing to a carb or changing electronics.

    Can I make a 5.0 handle?

    Okay, let's just say this. HP is not my main goal. Infact the engine is the last thing I am going to work on. I was just wanting to know if 400hp is possible with NA. I would settle for 300-350 since the car is so light. My current car (a sentra spec V) with 175hp does 0-60 in 6.9 seconds...

    Can I make a 5.0 handle?

    If it is light and fits in the budget...I like it.

    Can I make a 5.0 handle?

    Well, as I am just looking right now I might be in a better money position when I get ready to go to work on finding a car and parts. I have never built one of these cars and I just want to know what potential there is for this price range.

    Can I make a 5.0 handle?

    I'm just looking at options. I want a light free revving rotating assembly.

    Can I make a 5.0 handle?

    I have thought about both approaches. I am in no hurry so I am going to look thoroughly at both options. I have a lot of reading to do. BTW...how much does a notchback LX weigh?

    Can I make a 5.0 handle?

    It for sure will not be a show car. I want it to look nice but it doesn't have to be perfect.

    Can I make a 5.0 handle?

    I'm not sure yet. I am in the thought process right now. I might buy one in the next year to year and a half. I like to do a lot of research before I start a project. I was looking at a couple of websites for products. I like the Maximum Motorsports stuff but I am going to have to buy stuff...

    Can I make a 5.0 handle?

    I was kinda looking at about a 10K investment, purchase price of the car and all. Can this be done? Also remember that this is going to be a weekend driver and not daily. I have a Sentra for daily duty. I want to build something fun to drive most of all and I also plan on doing some autocross.

    Can I make a 5.0 handle?

    I am actually looking for something to drive on the street. I might go racing in the future but right now I want a high performance street set up that I can take to track days on the weekends. Is is possible to make 400hp from a NA setup without stroking?

    Can I make a 5.0 handle?

    I don't own a Mustang anymore. I am thinking that at some time in the future I can get a 5.0LX Notchback since they are lighter than other models. Also does anyone know where I can find exact weights of each model? How much is it going to cost me to really make one handle? I am looking at a...

    Tach, Speedo Going Crazy..Any Suggestions

    I checked Advance Auto Parts and they wanted 180 for the part. I am going to get it somewhere else. I actually think my speedo may be loose in the dash. Havent had time to check though.

    Tach, Speedo Going Crazy..Any Suggestions

    I cannot remember the number of the code but it had something to do with the injector pulse being to short. How much will a new ICM cost me? And where is it located.
