    Ahhhhhh, a Hurricane!!!!

    I've been through a couple. Do you have shutters or at least plywood up? Don't worry 90 mph won't do much damage as long as there aren't any big trees around your house. It's the tornados that come from the hurricane that do alot of damage.

    Ahhhhhh, a Hurricane!!!!

    Just alot of rain here in South Florida. It seems we escape most of them. A hurricane is like a marraige. Alot of sucking a blowing in the begining and went it's over your house is gone. :D

    What type of pistons?

    Is this a turbo motor that you are disassembling. If so it may be possible the stock piston will be ok but with new rings. You have to know what your goals are. How much horsepower? Where in the rpm range you want the power? And most of all how much cash do you want to spend? It will cost you...

    Sweet deal on tranny

    It's BS . The Turbocoupe tranny isn't any stronger than a typical 4 cyl T5. What makes a 5.0 tranny "stronger" or being able to handle more power and torque is because of the higher gear ratios in the tranny. Less teeth per gear means more metal per gear hence stronger. The materials used to...

    Sweet deal on tranny

    Yup, You would be better off trying to find a tranny out of a 90-93 4 cyl LX. Pretty much the same gear ratio as the Turbocoupe but half the horespower going through during it's life and a few years newer. Better chance of the LX one being in good shape. Also any type of junkyard that they pull...

    Cut and Dry T-5 questions

    Is there any upullit type junkyards near you. The one near me charges $100 bucks for a T5 ( the V8 ones never make it out to the yard). You should be able to walk away with all the parts to do the swap for probably $150 and a half days work. My yard also offers a warranty for about $20 extra. If...

    Skipping rebuild?

    I got an engine from an 87 Turbocoupe with 175,000 miles to put in while I build up my original engine. I took a couple of the bearing caps off and it was worn to the copper. All I did is replace the oil pan gasket and put on a rebuilt head that I had laying around. It runs great with a little...

    Interesting 2.3t on ebay

    The first fuel injected 2.3t were in 83 , Tbird and GT Turbo. I am not sure about horespower numbers but the SVO had alot better handling features. But I do love the four eye look . One day when I have some extra cash to burn I'll get an 85 or 86 GT 5.0

    84' GT Turbo

    If it is a coupe, its not a true GT. Only Hatchbacks are GT's. I've never seen a turbo Musang coupe from the factory. But if it is a HB and original ,yes it is rare. Just like the SVO's they aren't as much in demand. So their values aren't that high. But I think if you wait a few years and as...

    14s to 16s

    What year is your car? The 90-93 had slightly wider fenders. Like Mustang 5L5 said stick with the stock tire size. Or you can even put on 225/50 if you still have rubbing problems.

    I know you guys have all heard about the movie "The Passion of the Christ".

    140 just so you know I'm not satan or do I consider myself a satan worshiper. I don't think he exists. Anyways, I am by nature a good person. I go out of my way to help people out. Even people I don't know. As a matter of fact I was sort of helping you out with some advice when you were working...

    I know you guys have all heard about the movie "The Passion of the Christ".

    I didn't know this was www.letsramreligiondownyourthroat.com. Maybe Mel Gibson will give some of the money to the Catholic church so they can pay off some of these people that were molested by priests. Don't bother trying to preach to me I spent the first 17 years of my life going to church 3...

    Shocks and springs on 84 svo

    You have to use SVO specific struts up front. I know the cost is going to be great but I would suggest going with Konis or Tokicos.

    Poormans SVO style front suspension?

    The info is from "Mustang Performance Handbook 2" by William R. Mathis. I suggest that anybody interested in modifiying the suspension on their Mustang get this book. It is very technical and will make your head spin if you are not an engineer...

    Poormans SVO style front suspension?

    I know you said poormans but why not just get an SVO k member. I see them for sale once in a while for less than $100. Or you can get this http://www.slotcarracing.com/itm00015.htm Its cheaper than doing a tubular.

    300 HP on a N/A 2.3?

    Well one thing you have to remember our motors are basically a 35 year old design. they came out in the Pinto as a 2.0 in the early 70's was probably designed in the late 60's with minor modifications over the years. Honda makes really good reliable products and spend a bunch of money on R&D...

    300 HP on a N/A 2.3?

    Sure it's possible. It'll cost you probably closed to $10,000 though. Be much cheaper to do a turbo motor and it would be more streetable. http://www.esslingeracing.com/ , http://www.raceeng.com/ and http://www.turboford.org/sponsors/usp.htm .
