    95-95 T5 Harness Help

    Hey guys, I purchased a T5 harness from some guy but it turned out to be for some other model year, I suspect a 99-04 since it had O2 sensor connectors already on it- but it has the same main connector and the speed sensor and backup switch wires that I need to build a 94-95 harness. I have a...

    How did you insure your modded mustang?

    Hey guys, thanks for all the feedback, learned some great stuff. Currently with Geico I am paying around $380 bi-annually and thats not even comprehensive coverage or anything, which started me on this whole trek. They will not cover any suspension or motor modifications. I know theres nobody...

    How did you insure your modded mustang?

    I am facing a dilemma at the moment. I purchased my 95 for a puny $1800. It has since seen over $10,000 in parts, the only thing stock on the car is the rear disc brakes lol. Its currently covered for basic driving under Geico, but I am having a heck of a time trying to find a way to insure the...

    Fuel Rail setup opinions

    After staring at my setup for a couple hours this afternoon, I think it would just be wiser to sell the braided lines, Aeromotive FPR, and the rails and go back to the stocker setup with a upgrade FPR like BBK or something. I really dont need this stuff, the car is not going to make nearly as...

    Fuel Rail setup opinions

    Thanks so much for the tips! The main problem is that distributor clearance, I have no way to get a fitting on that driver side front rail (where it says capped in the pic), so doing front to front loop seems to be impossible at this point, unless I change the distributor to a MSD, but even then...

    recommended shocks/struts springs?

    I've installed and rode on both H&R and Ebiach springs. Both handled great, IMO they both did about the same amount of drop by eye. You can ditch the rubber isolators in the rear if you want to really close out that tire gap in exchange for a little noise. For shocks, I would suggest Tokico HP...

    Thanks for all the suggestions guys! Scored a set of stock fox covers for $20, waiting for them to arrive. I'll go fancy later on if they turn out to fit ok. I'll post my results when they arrive. Thanks

    Fuel Rail setup opinions

    Hey guys, I am looking for some feedback on a fuel rail setup like this below. Does anyone see any potential issues or hazards? I have an Aeromotive regulator, braided lines with AN fittings and some aluminum rails (don't know the brand). I bought all this stuff off someone on some...

    Valve Cover Hell

    Thanks for the ideas! So do you guys run a stock hood with your spacer on your intake? I was thinking about just placing the motor in there and putting a 1/2"block between the intake and taking out the heatshield on the back of the hood to see if it would close. I saw some blank fox valve...

    Valve Cover Hell

    As I try hard as I can to foresee future problems on my motor build, it never ceases to amaze me how these things sneak up. I knew in the back of my head that the Scorpion stud mount 1.6 RRs were lookin kinda big, but I didn't want to admit it. NOW I HAVE THIS PROBLEM: :bang: I've...

    Pushrod Length Opinions

    Kinda got a mark to show up with the 6.035", its a little tiny bit above the half way point, not quite as narrow as I was hoping for either... I dunno... UPDATE - I made an adjustment to my test lifter, i ditched the washers inside and actually used the original plunger upside down instead, I...

    Pushrod Length Opinions

    Its the actual spring on the valve. Yes, the rocker is a little off center in that pic. I don't have a spring checker, just the adjustable rod checker. I did try putting some tape on the rocker and i got it to make a mark on the valve tip. I wasn't too happy on the marking, it was too wide, I...

    Gear Install - Backlash Question

    Thanks for the specs! Yea my craftsman one is the beam type, but it shows ft/lb, so dividing by 12 i knew i needed it to be right at the first line on the gauge (around 2-3 ft/lb), did not take much effort to get there. (Nothing like the force I had to use to get it to 24ft/lb lol!) I found some...

    Gear Install - Backlash Question

    Good grief!!! It is inch pounds! You're totally right. I knew something was terribly wrong! Great- now i have to go find a new crush sleeve. I guess I will convert 24 in/lb to ft/lb and see. I have a craftsman manual torque wrench with only nM and ft/lb

    Gear Install - Backlash Question

    Ok figured this out- there was a shim set at the bottom of the box I didn't see. Ended up not using them because I also failed to notice the tiny difference in size on the stock shims. After checking with a mic, i could see I had put them in backwards. After reversing them, I was getting .014...

    Gear Install - Backlash Question

    Normally on setting up backlash you shift shims from the left to right according if you need to add or remove backlash. However, on my 95, the so called "shims" are more like spacers made of steel, have a beveled edge on one side and are about 1/4" thick. I can't swap back and forth because they...

    Need some opinions on my 95 track toy rebuild - mainly cam

    Ok - i'm totally open to a custom grind. Who do you recommend? Anderson? How much will that set me back? Seeing that a CompCams cam will run around $280, it would be nice to see something around that price. But then again.. "..if its something worth doing, its worth doing right." -Hunter S...
