    89 gt convertible question

    Owner was a collector, had a half-way museum (though none of the cars were really show quality). Collector if you will. He died. All vehicles were sold off at auction by the family. To my knowledge there IS no title, can probably can't get one at all based on what I know of the family and...

    89 gt convertible question

    I made a mistake. I started a new job last year and the owner has a 89 convertible, bone stock, all original 5.0. Dirty inside and out but complete. He wants to get rid of it and I told him I'd take it. Today he's digging it outta the weeds (won't start) and I find out is has no title. So...

    Fox AOD Overdrive to 3rd Hard Downshift

    without knowing what they did internally it's hard to say pretty common for shops to eliminate the wave plate in the direct clutch which will absolutely result in a harsh 4/3 downshift. I leave them in. if you get a rpm flare on 4/3 downshift, theres possibility that the direct clutch...

    Need some opinions on Flowmaster mufflers

    I have the DF 50's on my 92GT. 427"w, makes a shade over 600hp (EFI) n\a. No cats. 3". Long tubes. they are loud. Quieter than 40's but I would say not by a lot. They still drone. Still sound like FM's. Sounds really mean especially after a warm startup. They really bark at idle and...

    Issues with AFR

    also look for exhaust leaks, even tiny ones will cause a lean reading. Feedback EFI system has to be sealed up.

    Need help determining interior gray colors

    that's definitely a titanium dash and part of the console. The cupholder console looks to have been painted with probably LMR's titanium, which ironically is NLA, and it's almost identical to 93 only Opal Grey. Opal is a little lighter. LMR didn't do a good job of color matching. I have two...

    Please Help Me Reduce Cabin Noise On Fox Body

    the car is made of lots of sheet metal what happens when you take a piece of sheet metal and tap on it? It vibrates, sometimes hurts your ears same for solid motor mounts. The small amount of vibration from the engine is transmitted into the body of the car and you feel/hear it. People...

    Need some opinions on Flowmaster mufflers

    I have 50's on my 92 gt. They are loud. Mine are 3" and fed by a 427", so that might make a difference. They are loud at idle, they are loud at part throttle, and they are loud at full throttle which basically rarely happens. But it does sound good. I'm thinking about throwing cats on it.

    2.3l HP squeeze

    bike carbs only work on a couple 2.3 heads. Most of the n/a heads made in the 80's and early 90's won't work, the 2 outer ports are angled--and that also is one (of many) reasons they don't flow very well. You'd have to use an early oval port 2.3 head, OR a later dual plug (91+...

    Engine Headers glowing

    lean rich retarded restricted exhaust those are the most common causes of red headers if the headers are stainless, depending on the grade and thickness of the tubing, some alloys can glow at a much lower temp than mild steel, so some glow may be considered "normal"...again depends on a lot of...

    Paint and Body Opal grey

    hate to dig up this old thread but my 93 coupe is in paint jail. While it's incarcerated, I am going to work the interior over, meaning it's time to re-dye the plastic parts to get rid of the fade. It is original Opal gray interior (93 only color). Also replacing the center console arm rest...

    Please Help! Ideas/Tips on how to make my '93 2.3l (NA) Convertible Faster.

    I've owned 5 or 6 turbo Lima 4's. All but one have had some sort of failure or in one case, multiple failures at different times. #2 or #3 rod just exits the block cruising the highway at 55mph, just under 2000 RPM, bang. No warrning no knocking nothing. That happened twice. One was #2 rod...

    Engine 90 2.3 Cranks No Start

    just fyi on the old efi and carb 2.3's it does not matter where you choose to place #1 on the distributor. If you install the belt and are off a little, just pick out the closest tower on the dist and call that #1. Then sequence the wires clockwise 1-3-4-2. On V8's the reluctor has one tooth...

    Please Help! Ideas/Tips on how to make my '93 2.3l (NA) Convertible Faster.

    If one is to consider a 2.3T swap from a turbocoupe, one should seriously consider rebuilding the TC engine. Over the last ~20 some years I've bought several 2.3t cars (merkurs, t-birds, svo's, one cougar). Each and every one of them needed or ended up getting an overhaul. My current Mustang...
