    Slight Knock At Start-Up

    I'm baffled.... I just put in a salvage yard '04 SOHC into my '96 GT. The engine only had 117 miles on it (about 400 miles now). I have REALLY babied it & I have great oil pressure. I'm still using all the high-mileage '96 bolt-ons, throttle body & associated parts, etc. When I very...

    BASIC front suspension questions

    Thanks... I already replaced the inner/outer tie rod ends at the last tire replacement/alignment, but someone else told me a new rack came with new inners & it's probably due to be replaced.... so I'll check into that. How in the heck can I tell if my front springs are bad? The ride...

    BASIC front suspension questions

    Ok, guys... dumb questions.... I don't know jack about front suspensions. I think I want to keep my suspension close to stock ("maybe" some KYB shocks or something) 'cause I drive in Chicago with tons of potholes & if I do any kind of racing it's at the drag strip. My front end is a little...

    Can't get my '96 auto trans. back in! Help Please!

    I just did an engine swap & I can't get my automatic transmission to line up & slip in. I've got most of the trans/block bolts 1/2 way in, the torque converter studs look like they're lined up to go into the flywheel, but I still can't shove the trans. in the last 1/2 inch. I don't think I'm...

    OMG! Broke Harmonic Balancer!

    Hey Mogs, What do you need a picture of & from who? & Squares..... somebody told me I needed to swap the timing cover 'cause of accessories being different, but honestly I never looked??? Regardless, the '04 engine's timing cover was cracked pretty bad in about 4 places from the wreck that...

    OMG! Broke Harmonic Balancer!

    Hey Guys, I couldn't use a torch at all 'cause the ALUMINUM timing cover is about 1/4" behind the harmonic balancer "nub". I ended up taking a grinder & using it like a cut-off tool & took a bunch of lengthwise sliced into the "nub" until it was small enough to pull the timing cover off...

    OMG! Broke Harmonic Balancer!

    Let's just say I'm havin' a bad day :( I'm swapping a '04 GT motor into my '96 GT. I need the timing cover off the '96. Pulling the '96's harmonic balancer I broke the #(@%* thing and now all I have is a little "nub" of a harmonic balancer wedged on the crank blocking me from taking...

    Exhaust Manifolds. Can I use '04's on a '96 GT?

    Hey Squares98, You have the closest swap to mine... just to be clear..... you put a '04 GT engine into your '98 GT and used the stock exhaust manifolds from the '04 GT engine, right? What did you have to change? Did you use the '98 valve covers? Did you use the '98 alternator with '04...

    Exhaust Manifolds. Can I use '04's on a '96 GT?

    Sorry guys, but I'm getting opposite answers here & on modulardepot. Someone over there says that either set of manifolds will bolt up, but my '96 H-pipe won't bolt up to the driver's side '04 exhaust manifold. I want to keep my '96 H-pipe........ are you guys SURE the '04 exhaust...

    Exhaust Manifolds. Can I use '04's on a '96 GT?

    Hmmmm..... I'm getting mixed answers on the manifolds. Some say I need to use the '04's and others say I need to use the '96's????? What is different between the manifolds? Are the EXHAUST ports different between PI & NPI heads? Does anyone know if the '96 intermediate pipe will bolt...

    Exhaust Manifolds. Can I use '04's on a '96 GT?

    I'm putting a '04 SOHC Mustang engine in my '96 GT. Can I use the '04 exhaust manifolds with my existing exhaust & emissions or do I need to use the '96 exhaust manifolds on the '04 motor?

    '04 SOHC Swap Into '96 GT HELP!

    tomustang.... I'm asking about the timing cover because the '04 cover is badly cracked and because I was "thinking" I might need the '96 timing cover so my accessories would bolt up. Can I use the '96 cover at all? The engine is NOT complete... it did not come with starter, alternator, power...

    '96GT engine swap '99/'01/'02etc. differences?

    I've got a '96 GT 4.6 SOHC and the ol' girl is due for an engine replacement. I definitely want to go with the newer PI heads. What do I need to swap in a newer SOHC engine? :shrug: '99/'00? '01? '02? '03? Do the '01 & newer Crown Vic engines have the PI heads/cams? Are they...
