    New Mustang Prices SUCK!

    G-banger it's all good. I just thought about $25K would be a good price for a new GT. I guess I've been out of it for awhile, owning a 91 since 1994 (I have sticker and it was $16,800 for 5.0 auto lx, 17 years ago). Not to kiss your ass but we just put a 6 of blue light (first had it at Canada...

    New Mustang Prices SUCK!

    Gearbanger, to each his own, it's a lot of money. Both my wife and I work for the largest defense contractor in the world with great wages and I wouldn't consider buying new for a minute. I was expecting the GT to be about $26K, not 35. I'll continue shopping for a 04 cobra or 05 Saleen in the...

    Ghetto...Or am I smarter than I look?

    Well, I bought the streetdamper so of course the markings are about 34-36 degrees off from the stock 5.0 timing pointer (verified using the search function!). What I did is align the keyways with them side by side and "marked" zero from the FRRP damper to the streetdamper. I then installed it...

    HELP - Melling pump interference

    Thanks guys, I "dimpled" the pan for clearence and filed the bolt for additional clearence. Yes, it initially hit with the 1 piece fel-pro blue gasket inplace. Now that that's behind me I'm trying to locate TDC with a "POS" streetdamper. Of course it doesn't line up with the stock 5.0 timing...

    HELP - Melling pump interference

    Has anyone experienced interference when using a Melling high volume oil pump? I half installed my oil pan (5 lb torque on bolts) then removed it and could see where one of the pump cover bolts was beginning to gouge into the bottom of the oil pan (stock pan). All advice is appreciated, switch...

    Pushrod Length Checking Lifter

    Guys, please verify that I did this correctly. I took 2 stock roller lifters, removed the spring retainer and plunger. I filled the bottom cavity of the lifter with small nuts (1/4") and a washer then reinstalled the plunger and spring clip (real tight fit). Will this remove any compression from...

    Sound deadening material.

    I used "E-Dead" from elemental design (may not still be around), sounds just like what you described. I prolly added 25-30 pounds doing my entire car, floor, hatch and doors.

    stock 302 block, how much power can it take?

    Wouldn't driving style be a facter in how much a stock block can handle? If you roll out at the very limit of traction instead of a "hole shot", is it less stress on the block? VJ

    How much $$ to fill your 5.0's tank?

    Ha-Ha, free post! Usually fill-up when it needs about 10 gallons. So, 10 gal at 3.25, about 32-35 dollars. Sucks, when I was little I remember "gas wars" in Michigan, 24.9 cents a gallon!!

    Pushrod Length

    I know, I know, I'm gonna measure with a length checker, but in order to know if the correct ones are available locally (live in a small town) I have to ask. About what length pushrods were required by those with Edelbrock RPM heads (stud mount) and FMS 1.6 RR's? I believe I will be runnng a TFS...

    Please Help, I want blinkers again.

    cjones, thanks for continuing to help, hopefully kdubs is getting info as well. Do I check the MFS O/Y at the hazzard switch or pull the connector off the MSF? I have the column closed up right now, so it may be Thursday before I get a chance to open it back up. Thanks again, Vann
