    FMS 5 lug cobra conversion kits?

    I sure hope you are using the PBR calipers that came on the 99+ Cobra/Bullit/Mach1. The 99-04 PBR’s that came on the GT’s and V6’s will not work with 13” rotors. But I am sure you know that already.

    Smog and A/C delete. Need belt size.

    I did a search and found so many different answers. I have an 86. I am removing the smog and A/C, and will be using the FMS A/C Delete kit. I am not sure which size belt I will need. People say 70.5-73 inches. I think in the end I will have to take a tape measure, but my friend did this swap in...

    Who has replaced their steering shafts?

    Well, doing my longtubes, something finally let go in my stock 138,000 steering shaft. So now is as good time to get a new one. I am thinking of going with a maximum motorsports one, but have never really looked into the stock replacement let alone the after market. Anyone ever upgraded their...

    Bilstein. Cost under 500 through www.shox.com. You'll never look at any other shock/strut combo again.

    Breslin locking headers bolts questions

    I bought some Breslin locking header bolts. Since I used anti seize on them, the instructions call for 26 foot pounds. I cannot get a torque wrench on them. They are a 12 point bolt, and for some reason a 3/8 inch closed wrench would not fit on top of the head, so I had to use the open end and...

    Smog Elimination Questions

    Did you read my post? That is what I am doing. Except it is called an A/C delete kit. Yes the PS pump moves to where the A/C once was. I just do not have time to remove the A/C. All I have time for is taking the smog stuff out so I can hook up my h-pipe and mufflers. I just want to know if...

    Smog Elimination Questions

    Alright, since I did my longtubes, my midpipe does not have the air hose thingy that comes off of the smog pump. I am stuck with what to do. I want the smog stuff gone, and the A/C. I do not have time to do the A/C delete yet, but want it gone eventually, like this summer still. But, I want this...

    BBK Longtube Header Problems. Need o2 extensions that fit!

    I installed BBK Longtube headers this weekend. I ordered the BBK o2 extenstions from Summit. The part number is 1676 and says it will fit models from 1986-2004. Being that I have an 86, I figure no problem. However, they do not fit. Neither side of them fit. So now I have to return them...

    Smog stuff. Help me remove this crap

    A search yielded me nothing. So I must ask.... After doing my BBK Longtubes, I realize that trying to work around that huge ass pipe that plugs into the stock H-Pipe was not fun. Trying to fit the headers, and having that pipe hit me in the head was awesome. I tried about 5 times smacking...

    Need help ASAP installing BBK 1/5/8 Longtube Headers Please.

    I am having some issues installing BBK 1/5/8 longtube headers on my 1986 Mustang. After hours of fighting with the old exhaust, I finally got it all off. I took out the starter and took off the motor mount bolts. I have jacked the motor up slightly to get a good idea what I am in for. I did...

    Ported Cobra Intake Manifold Vs. TMOSS lower

    Good info guys. After looking at charts, I know that the stock upper flows pretty decent. It's the lower that sucks donkey balls, and that's why I bought an intake from Tom. I was not sure about the gains, and kinda figured it would be minimal with the combo I am running. If I had AFR's and...

    Ported Cobra Intake Manifold Vs. TMOSS lower

    I have a TMOSS ported lower and a stock upper intake off of a 93 Mustang on my 86. I have Thumper's heads. A guy I know is selling a lightly ported Cobra Intake for 200. I am wanting to know if this is a worth while swap, if I will notice any gains. From the TMOSS/Thumper setup along with a...

    What size header bolts do i need?

    What pitch with the locking bolts? I have E7 heads, and need to buy locking ones. I see that summit sells ones that are .75 and 1 inch. Should I go for the one inch long bolts?

    Long Tube Header Question: H or X pipe?

    Thanks for the replies. I have heard that the X pipe sounds more like an F1 car. Anyone else have ideas?
