    2.3 N/A tear down complete, Taking suggestions on what to put back in it

    Yes, this is a bench project. It'll likely take over a year or possibly more for this thing to look even close to a car. As far as how fast I want to go, this is kind of just an "As fast as I can get it" project. I want this car to break me into the world of drag racing. I don't expect it to run...

    2.3 N/A tear down complete, Taking suggestions on what to put back in it

    No, that was a whole car estimate. Tubing, sheet metal, seat and harness, transmission, tires. Ya know, dragster basics. And I don't technically "have" the money, this will be an "as I go" kind of thing. But it's good to have a plan.

    best muffler for a non ricer sound

    I have a glass pack installed normally on my N/A and it sounds like it could definatley be a v-6. and No way does it sound ricy.

    Ahhh its starting already!

    Engines usually don't go from 'running but smokes' directly to 'does not start and is dead'. I'd definatley get it looked at by someone else, some guys just love to sell engines to people who ask questions like "what is that" and "what does this do". because they think they'll believe it easy...

    2.3 N/A tear down complete, Taking suggestions on what to put back in it

    The price isn't an object at this stage. It's not a "two weeker" I plan to purchase every part as a single as I can afford what's next. That's why I was so vauge, but 8-10 grand is a rough ballpark.

    2.3 N/A tear down complete, Taking suggestions on what to put back in it

    Okay, so, new head (turbo motor I assume) Forged Pistons (my current N/A is running those) of course have the block milled, go ahead and drill an oil line, what about the crank, will I need to upgrade that for turbo? I'm wanting a high pro motor this time, this is going in my drag car, not a...

    Final Drive Ratio Question

    Since installing my new tires I've noticed my gear ratios have become very short. 1st only goes up to like 20 at redline, 2nd around 45, 3rd can maybe take 70, and so on. The car still has the Automatic Rear end gear in it, even though I'm running with a T-5. The tires are very low profile on...

    2.3 N/A tear down complete, Taking suggestions on what to put back in it

    I tore down my spare N/A today, and it looked fairly decent inside, except for the sickly burned cam shaft. What goodies can I put in here to make it A: turbo capable, and B: Fast as ****. Not looking for anything specific, so throw out anything that might come to mind. Even the smallest thing...

    Constant flooding...need help.

    get a haynes manual. It can usually guide you through anything you need. Dunno if the Mustang Capri 79-93 covers carb rebuilds though

    that really is a nice looking motor. I prefer the original ford blue myself, but that setup is pulling off light blue quite well.

    Dr_elusives Swap Question and Progress Thread V 2.0

    Well, I hate to bring the ole butt dyno back out, but after making my braded ground correct (it basically wasn't even hooked up) and turning back my timing just a hair, the car idled smoother, and seemed to gain like maybe 2 hp. My first two four cylinders where both 2.6 mitsubishi motors, and I...

    So, Whats in your backseat....

    My oil is going somewhere I don't know where though. It's not leaving any spots anywhere and it doesn't smoke. And there isn't any significant build up anywhere on the under carrage either.

    Got a new motor for the wagon...

    That's not a 2.9 is it? If it is, :drool: I've got a 2.9 in the building waiting for it's day to shine.

    Dr_elusives Swap Question and Progress Thread V 2.0

    You guy's are ruthless. There's a ground on my engine that isn't connected properly. Now I'm about to go out there and do it right. If it runs "miraculously" better I'll be surprised. If I notice no difference, I won't. But I'll hope for the best!

    Who said there was something in my back seat? Well it's a LIE! Now let us never speak of it again.

    Running rich,miss,3k&-..WTF

    my car does this a little to. it's chilled a little on the stalling, but I think I have my problem tuned down to leaky injectors. Because occasionally it will start very rough, cut off, then run as a 3 cyl for a minute till (I think) it got enough gas pumped out of the cylinder to be able to get...

    Cooling fan fixed

    kickin dude. I'll have to sport for that 'mod' soon. As far as I'm concerned, "wired all to hell" is stock for my mustangs. But I really would like for mine to be running at a stable temperature.
