    fan doesn't turn on at right temp anymore

    My fan only turns on now as the temperature is approaching the "A" in "NORMAL". I have an awesome becool radiator, and the temp is on the "N" on the highway. I just doesn't get cool when stopped or below 40 miles per hour. It's been burped, there's no air in the system, the hoses aren't...

    Car won't stay cool

    I have a 95 cobra with a CHP 331, AFR 185s, and some other stuff, and it won't stay cool. First came the 180* thermostat, then the be-cool radiator that is supposed to be good for 750hp, and none of it works when the car is sitting for more than 30 seconds. HELP!!! I want to be able to take my...

    Tire size

    Hi guys; I have a 95 cobra and was wondering how wide I can go with the rear tires. I have 18 inch wheels, and 285s, but was wondering how far some people have pushed their rear tire size and gotten away with it daily driving. Mine's dropped 3/4 inch in the back, which brings me to the other...

    Anybody know a company that makes good radiators and fans that are compatible with EVERYTHING for 94-95 stangs? we're talking no modification, bolt in, bolt out, get to keep your overflow (or suitable replacement), gives additional cooling capacity, and so on.

    anybody know the "by the book"way to adjust rockers?

    I can find zero lash easy, and I can do the whole 1/4-1/2 turn past that, but after the 2nd try, I want to get it right before I start driving my new motor. Right now the rockers are loud as hell telling me they are not done right. Anybody know the correct, "by the book" way to set some...

    New motor running way to hot in 95 cobra

    It's possible but not likely with the head gaskets. I originally had SEC copper race gaskets (the motor is built for boost) to lower my compression a little more and O-ring it all, but they were found to be not sealing right as we were about to crank it all up. I deployed days after this, and...

    sell the 94 for a foxbody...?

    I think it really depends on what you want the car for. If you want a comfortable cruiser that can be made easily into a 12-13-14 second car, stick with the SN95. If you want a badass 10 sec weekend, dragstrip and infrequently to work terror, it's fox body all the way. When I wrecked my 1991 GT...

    New motor running way to hot in 95 cobra

    Well, I've ran it a few times to the point of near OVERheating it with the radiator cap off, and it never boiled over, or burped. It is sucking it dry little by little, I guess that's a sign of SOME air getting out...... I've tried turning on the heater to suck some heat off the engine and it...

    When to change oil in a new engine

    Don't get freaked out if you have a magnetic oil plug and there's shavings, that a given on break-in. Usually, I'd run it at about 2 grand on first start up, have buddies there to tweak timing,idle,fuel pressure, and other obvious stuff and keeping looking for leaks and "bad things". keep it...

    New motor running way to hot in 95 cobra

    It's kind of a long story.... This motor has been trouble from the beginning for way more than just this. I know new motors and modified (especially stroked) motors place more of a demand on your cooling system, but mine is almost undriveable. With the old motor, it never got hotter than 180...
