    Considering a 1987 mustang gt I need advice

    Based on those photos, I'd walk away from that car. It definitely has some paint and body issues which are expensive to fix correctly. Quality interior peices are not inexpensive either Make sure that the smog pump and associated tubing, solenoids and vacuum lines are there. You will have...

    BUYER BEWARE-CJ PONY PARTS!!!!!

    I had a fairly large order of 10 or 15 items that was over $1,000 I called to place the order at CJ and had a few tech type questions on which clutch I should order. Their customer service reps were totally clueless. They are nothing more than order takers. If you do not know EXACTLY what...

    90 Vert GT Electrical Fire.....

    Sorry to hear about the fire!! If it were mine and I intended on keeping the car. I would remove the whole harness so that the new one would be all plug in with no splices. Just my 2 cents. You could also splice/ solder and shrinkwrap too. I am not sure exactly what is burnt. If you...

    Need help getting car to run.

    Did you try moving the advancing/retarding the distributor a few degrees and then try to start it? When you advance/retard it, does the motor turn easier or harder? Is everything wired the exact same way as it was when you had the 302 in it?? What did you do for the distributor?? Did...

    Speed related noise '90 5.0 convertible

    Try driving it around with the top down and see what happens to the noise. It may be easier to pinpont a location with the top down. I know that it sounds stupid but is the tranny full of fluid??

    Need help getting car to run.

    Pulling codes is the definite first step. Even if the motor isnt running, there could be some error codes there. Have you changed anything since the last time the motor ran?? If so, go back and undo that change and see if it runs.

    reverse is gone on t-5

    Did you get any kind of warranty when you had it rebuilt?? If you only have 5000 miles on it, it could be under warranty. I just had one rebuilt and it came with a 12 mo/12,000 mile warranty.

    Has the Mustang been the best car you've ever owned??

    Not even close!! This Stang is my first one. Didn't really know what I was looking at when I bought it. Needless to say, it has been an education. Over the past 5 years, I have pretty much replaced everything mechanical. Even though it has died in my driveway a few times, I have only had...

    Fresh T-5 pops out of 5th gear only

    You are probably right as the first time it went back it was for a bad 3-4 synchro. Spoke to the tranny guy. He was a bit incredulous as he just finished rebuilding the second time, but he said to bring it back and he would look at it. I'll take it back after the holiday. Thank God I got...

    Fresh T-5 pops out of 5th gear only

    There are 2 shift stops on the shifter. One in the front and one in the rear. Both were backed out all the way. It is a B&M Ripper Sport shifter I removed the shifter. Everything looked ok. The little plastic cup was there. Re-installed shifter. With the engine off, I ran the shifter thru...

    Fresh T-5 pops out of 5th gear only

    I have a fresh rebuild T-5 (less than 100 miles). Today was the first day that I had a chance to get it out on the expressway. 1-2-3-4 all shift great but when you are on the highway it pops out of 5th gear after 3 or 4 mins. I put it back in 5th and it is fine for 3-4 mins and it pops out...

    What to look for when purchasing a used motor

    You can hook it up to a manual tranny. Just swap the flex plate for a clutch/flywheel. You should swap out the Explorer valve springs. They are weak for a motor that will see some revs. Be sure to match the springs to your cam. You can use the Explorer throttle body. It just needs to be...
