    Where to get flywheel?

    Flexplate. Man am I a dumb a$$. I knew that. It was late though, here anyways. Also it has some easily fixable damage, front drivers side quarter near the corner of the headlight is dented in and it needs a hood. How much should I offer? Thanks, Mo' Town :flag:

    Mach 1 Stock Mach 1 Vs stock LS1

    Stock00Z28: You really shouldn't expect to come on a MUSTANG site, bash Mustangs, and get no grief. And the factory rearend in the F-Bodies was 3.42 not 3.22. The F-bodies also have an extra gear. And I forget, do the still make Camaros/Firebirds? GM has always tried to play catch up in the...

    Where to get flywheel?

    I am looking at a 1991 LX hatch 4 cylinder automatic. The guy I am buying it from says that it needs a flywheel. Where can I get one for a 4 cylinder. I am a V-8 guy, just getting it pretty cheap and it'll be a project later (408/351W, AFR 205s, Trick Flow Upper and Lower, 5 speed). I just...

    I may be buying a 1988 Mustang GT, needs lots of work

    I am planning a 351W based stroker, but the 88 blocks were not as desirable from what I have heard. But I may get the car and forget the 351 for now. I think I am going to set the car up as far as the suspension and brakes go. Mo' Town :flag:

    I may be buying a 1988 Mustang GT, needs lots of work

    88 GT was junk Well I just got back from looking at the 88 GT. Apparently the previous owner was starting to do a custom paint job. It is like 4 different colors, and needs alot of body work. Plus it has no motor or trans. So it is definetly a NO GO. Especially since the kid thinks he can...

    Opinion Poll

    I'd rebuild the original motor and keep it original. Then get a 4 cyl coupe and do whatever you want to it, ie 347 stroker, 351W, or the modular with a supercharger. I'd hate to see a rare car get hacked up. :nonono: :notnice: Or you can just sell it to me cheap and I'll take excellent...

    GT to Saleen look alike?

    That sucks. I really love the Saleen look. I just don't want to spend my whole budget on body work. Hmmm...... Mo' Town

    GT to Saleen look alike?

    I want to convet a 88 GT to the Saleen. I know that the Saleen was based on the LX, but will I need to buy a LX bumper to add the Saleen ground effects? the car has a Saleen spoiler and a Cobra bumper. I was thinking that the Saleen front bumper and side valances would look good with the...

    I may be buying a 1988 Mustang GT, needs lots of work

    willys1: I have 3 and a half years left here, and I don't know if I can wait that long. Plus I talked the wife out of a trip to Paris (it was looking like $2500 just to get there and for a place to stay). She says if it keeps me from whining about how much I miss mine then, "Whatever keeps...

    Only thing in the car is the dash, heater core time?

    I'd replace it now while it is easy. A heater core is only like $20.00. Just my opinion, Mo' Town

    What's the best fluid for TKO?

    It is true. I don't know why Ford doesn't make a decent tranny fluid. Later, Mo' Town

    What heads should I go with (347)???

    Another vote for the AFR 185s. Yes the springs are an option when you purchase them. According to AFR catalog I downloaded today: #1422, AFR 185, 58cc, stud mount, complete with parts= $1375 #8029, upgrade spring #8020 to #8002(Street Roller spring 1.550"OD), 0.100L Rev=$175 or...

    MAC Cat back users....need your thoughts.

    One of the magazines did a test with and without cats, and to be honest there wasn't a huge power loss. I don't see why on a street car anyone wants to run without them. I'll see if I can locate the article for exact specs. I'd probably switch to the MAC prochamber with the high flow cats and...

    Any gain going from shorties to longtubes?

    LTs all the way!! But definetely get the ceramic coated ones. And from everything I have seen, heard and read LTs give you more torque down low with a slight HP loss down low. The main reason alot of people don't run them is they can be pricey and a PITA to install. Note that I said CAN BE...

    seat belt fix?

    I think that late model resto has new ones. For a quick fix, I just opened up the housing that holds the retractor and wound the metal band inside it tighter. I think that the reason it quit working is because the metalband that is wound inside it came unwound. The factory just bends up a...

    Best photoshop I've seen so far

    I dont like that big cowl hood...I can't put my finger on it, it just looks wrong...kinda fat or something. The ducktail is awesome though, and I like the Laser Red car. Just my opinion. Mo' Town
