    LIfter Install Checklist

    Depends on if they are hydraullic roller lifters or not. If you search the forums for engine break in or something similar you'll find good information. I'm 99% sure that roller lifts don't really require a break-in, but just take it easy for a little while to be safe. There were some good...

    Trickflow buffs needed ASAP

    1.) Depends on your pistons, TrickFlow told me my flattops would not need notched for a stage 2, but always check 2.) TrackHeats are not emissions legal 3.) If you run the stage 2 cam, personally I would run (and will be running) it with the T.H. heads because of the improved valvetrain on...

    setup (tfs)

    haha, this is the setup i'm installing in a month or two. 86gtstang- what pistons are you running? just curious stangjunkie- you basically want the maf to be larger than the throttle body/egr so that it doesn't restrict your flow. I have a 65mm throttle body and egr, but with the new...

    Who is Running N2O in First Gear on a manual trans

    I don't run nitrous, but have researched it. It you have a serious setup, you can run a nitrous controller to ramp up the nitrous flow instead of dumping it in all at once. That way you don't break the tires loose from the sudden power. I'm sure someone with more experience with it can tell...

    Engine Rebuild

    The most common things are bearings (main, rod, and/or cam), gaskets, and a honing of the cylinder walls. But everything depends on the condition of your engine. If it is a 5.0 list more specifics about it.

    Engine Rebuild

    '98? I think you either have a typo or posted in the wrong section. If it's a 4.6 post in 4.6tech, you'll get more responses. I guess alot of the things would be the same, but there are also probably alot of things that are different between a 4.6 and a 5.0. Especially with the over-head cams.

    egr egr egr egr

    It might not look "pretty" in your engine bay, but what Mr. Yount said is absolutely correct. Taking it off has more disadvantages (reduced gas mileage, detonation, check engine light) than advantages (cleaner engine bay). Also, exactly which vacuum lines are you thinking of removing? I...

    What's the purpose of an EGR spacer?

    If you mean the spacer between the throttle body and upper intake manifold with coolant lines into each side, it recirculates exhaust gases. If you search the threads it's discussed about a million times cuz people always want to disconnect those lines (by the way, don't). Hope that's what you...

    PCV pictures/setup?

    Is there power to be gained from a crankcase evacuation system? I'm looking at the header-type system from Moroso for $60. It's listed as MOR-25900 at Summit. Would this work with the stock PCV system or would it defeat it? My main conern is that the power brakes have a vaccum assist so it...

    T.F. Stage 2 Cam Users

    It's a five speed by the way. I've heard many good things about Trick Flows cams, but what I'm specifically wondering is if it'll mess with my stock computer or brakes (because of the loss of vaccum). Trick Flow e-mailed me (within a few hours) and said it should run about 11" of vaccum. The...

    T.F. Stage 2 Cam Users

    I'm looking for anyone with experience with Trick Flow's stage 2 cam. I'd just like to know if you had problems with not enough vaccum and if it caused any problems with the stock computer. It will be installed in an 86 5.0L with MAF, track heat heads, shorty headers, o/r exhaust, and an...

    Heads with o ring grooves

    I'm wondering the same thing as the last post. I know people usually run o-ringed when the cylinder pressures are high, such as forced induction or nitrous, but what about n/a high compression? Is there a certain level (compression or horsepower) where o-ringed heads (or block) are recommended?

    anyway i can get 86 front GT on a 88

    The lights shouldn't be much of a problem. I had the opposite of your situation, my 86 has a 93 interior from the original owner. Only the low-beams worked, I got connectors for the hi-beams from Advance Auto for under $5 total. I don't remember the exact wiring off the top of my head, but...

    Camshaft Identification

    Damn, nobody knows! Well I guess the next logical question is, what kind of markings do the stock and aftermarket cams have? In other words, is there any way of me telling if this is the stock cam? I don't have any of the tools to measure the specs at the moment, but if I need to I'll go find...

    Camshaft Identification

    I pulled the camshaft from the block yesterday as a part of my rebuild. I was told when I bought the car that it might have a new cam in it. lol, so that didn't help me much. Anyway, the cam has "1 backwards E 2 8" marked on the rear side of it. No other markings. It's an '86 5.0 Thanks...

    '86 H.O. 302

    My car is an 86 5.0L Mustang, assuming the engines are the same (I don't know if they are or not, yours might or might not be an h.o.) I can tell you that the heads are restrictive compared to other 5 liters. Also, the pistons are true flat-tops (no reliefs), so keep that in mind if you are...

    Function of coolant lines to egr spacer?

    Yea, that should be fine then, I'm not an expert on 94-later stangs but the EGR spacer should be the same setup and function as mine. By the way, :nice: for Columbus. I'm attempting to learn mechanical engineering down here. Go Bucks!

    Function of coolant lines to egr spacer?

    The coolant lines carry the engine coolant that cools the comparitively hot recirculated exhaust gases. Leave them hooked up if you have the gases flowing through it. This has been asked several times, if you do a thread search for it you can find more information. But, the general opinion is...

    So I went to change the oil yesterday...(tech related)

    If you're new to oil filters and can't get them off by any other method try shoving a screwdriver all the way though then turning it. It's messy, but at the same time lets you take out aggression! lol
