    what trans?

    you sure....there's a lot of A4LD autos found in T-Bird TC's. The C3 auto is about as weak as an A4LD since it is basically the same transmission without an overdrive.

    Low End Question

    Shorty headers have always been a compromise...mainly just for easy installation without having to modify exhaust. Long tubes have been known for years for the increased low end torque (from runner length) and increased high end HP (increased flow over stock). Basically an all around...

    Some pics of the custom 3" exhaust progress

    That engine is a stroker 393 and, if it's like my 351, I'm sure any loss of low end is more of a gain in traction.

    Stallion?

    looks like a Stallion to me too.

    Manual steering rack..

    Steering effort is only a problem in parking lots (351W + manual rack + 245 width tires) The slower steering response is only a problem if you regularly switch between a p/s II and a non-p/s II. Back when I regularly drove my '78 w/ poer steering and my '74 w/ manual rack, I had a hard time...

    Kirban AFPR user's read here.

    If Stinger was having a problem related to his Kirban AFPR, it would be very noticeable with his LM1...I'm pretty sure his issue has more to do with timing, spark energy, or intake temperature than fuel.

    Hooker Header ?

    As far as anyone has figured on here, if you have a set with a flange at the collector, someone has welded it on there. The set I have also had a pair of flanges on them.

    Poor Mustang

    It's a Ghia sport coupe...if they were smart, they'd part it out like everyone else does on E-Bay.

    large bell c4 (164 tooth)

    My large bell, pan fill C4 fit in my '74 Mustang tight, but no BFH required. I also did a '76 351W + large bell C4 that fit fine too.

    finally getting the bug again

    I got the itch Monday when we had our first 78 degree day of the year...took the '78 T-Top to work...Used up 1/2 tank of $2.06/gal gas while watching it run 220+ degrees in stop-go traffic and 180 degrees when moving good. Also got to feel the loose u-bolts allowing the rear end to shift...

    Trades?

    Same here, except I do it for a major commercial/military aircraft manufacturer.

    difference between lb3 and la3 eec

    LA3 and LB3 are identical except for the LB3 running an Automatic. LA3 equipped cars were 195HP and LB3 cars were 155HP. The only real HP difference was caused by the automatic cars staying at 9psi boost, so the difference can be made up for by bypassing the BCS when using the LB3 computer...

    2.3 turbo stang Q????

    Only the input shaft is different....it'll require a special Pilot bearing i the 2.3L that accepts the V8 input shaft. Everything else is basically the same except gearing in the tranny.

    Mass Air

    The switch is usually done to go above the airflow limits of the vane air meter...to be properly done, you'll need an EEC-tuner and do a lot more research. I'm looking at mass air myself, but will more likely use blow-through vane air...I'm expecting to get into the 350-400rwhp range with my...

    Anyone rolled their fender lips?

    I've rolled them in the rear on one of mine...If your paint is already done then have a body shop do it. If your paint is not done and you're doing your own work, go for it. In the front I just take the fender off and completely remove the lip with a grinder. In the rear I cut a slit about...

    Our motor only weights 10lbs lighter than the 5.0??

    ...because it's a 90 degree V8 with cams on top of each head.

    '76 2.3L w/ turbo??

    The factory carbe turbo setup is not the most ideal, or the most reliable, but I've heard of them making pretty extreme horsepower in a race-only configuration running alcohol...just nothing streetable. They were actually only rated at 125hp from the factory, which isn't hard to reach without a...

    raising the Rear end

    btw...if you're going to use air shocks, run a seperate air line for each side. If you only run one air line, the weight transfer in a corner squishes air out of one side and into the other, thus amplifying any body roll.

    raising the Rear end

    Can't you read my damn mind when you read my posts?????? :) The lift shackles zwhitr showed can be used to locate the rear of the springs lower, which makes them almost even with the front of the spring. The panhard bar would be used to keep the car from flopping all over the place (side...

    raising the Rear end

    The lift shackles zwhitr has absolutely kill handling. They'd work great if combined with a panhard bar since you can level out the rear springs, which is supposed to get rid of some understeer. I had a set of those shackles on when I was having trouble getting the right ride height out of my...
