    Best 5.0 to mod?

    The '93 isn't sucky... it's just not setup to spray much with the alloy pistons. It's fine for N/A or a little bit of NO2, the alloy pistons are lighter anyways. As for you spraying 150 on your 93.... be careful man, I was once told that the hyperuetic can maybe stand a 100 shot, no more. But...

    Best 5.0 to mod?

    I didn't know when I bought mine but one thing with the 93's is that they have hyperuetic pistons instead of forged, which means NO2 is not a good idea. Now I have to wait until I get a new short block with forged pistons before I go spray crazy.

    trying to build a combo! need advice

    You could look into that G-Force kit for the T-5. The kit is $1000 and then whatever it costs to have a shop put it in your existing T5. Supposed to be able to handle 600HP. This is most likely the route I'm taking when my T-5 goes.

    pix of stangs equipped with longtubes, different brands and coatings

    Not sure on how the coating holds up but Flowtech(Holley) makes a long tube header that is a silver ceramic coat. You can get them thru Summit, they're reasonably priced too, $240 I think.

    Anyone use this H/C/I combo?

    Ok... It's all installed. I went with the cheaper Typhoon intake and got the AFR 165's w/ the 58cc chambers instead of the 61cc. (Read sig for full list) It's a night and day difference... it takes up to about 3200 RPM before the combo really starts to kick in, but after that hold on. Revs...

    Possible overheating troubles.. help!

    Have you had this car before at this time of year or at this outside temprature... deviation from norm? Were you running the A/C (if you have it)?A cheap fix would be maybe trying a mix in the radiator with Redline's Water Wetter. With those type of mods you should have a little bit beefed...

    wow, snapped an axle

    I'm looking into some Mosers too. Wild Rides Race Cars sells them for $215 a pair. 4 or 5 lug / 28 or 31 spline (these are still c-clip type). http://www.wildridesracecars.com

    Aluminum Driveshaft

    I got one last September... way lighter than the stock one. I got mine from Laurel Mountain Mustang, seemed to be the cheapest place to get it, that was in Sep though prices may have changed, but check it out.

    Inline fuse necessary for 3G upgrade?

    I actually had an alternator shop make my power wire for the swap that included a new fuse link rather than that big ugly fuse.

    Piston grinding for clearance

    I may need to grind the reliefs a little to make the .80 intake and .100 exhaust clearance requirement on my setup since I'm using the stock pistons for now. I'm going to be using AFR 165's/61cc and either the TFS Stage 1 or E-303 Cam with 1.6 rockers. Just kinda trying to plan ahead for...

    Piston grinding for clearance

    I may need to grind for clearance in my setup and I was wondering if anybody knew if it is easier or harder to grind the 93 hyperuetic pistons?

    Cams that clear stock pistons [Need suggestions]

    The thing with the "Alphabet" Cams is they are flat durations, meaning exhaust and intake durations are the same number. A lot of newer cams have a split duration meaning as you might have guessed the intake and exhaust durations are not the same number. And that's about all I know about that, lol.

    Cams that clear stock pistons [Need suggestions]

    I'm browsing all sorts of bumpsticks to find one thats going to give decent performance without me having a piston to valve clearance issue on stock 1993 pistons. I did notice that AFM is nice enough to classify thier cams as working with stock pistons or not This is the partial combo: AFR...

    Shifter ball cup

    I got that part from my local Ford dealer, they had a hard time finding the part number to order it, they had me sifting through several illustrated parts breakdowns for me to identify the part. It only cost like $7 and I think I got two of them.
