    If the Shelby Cobra comes out, will it hold back the performance of the SVT Cobra

    I think they may do a Shelby Cobra, but I think the most likely avenue right now is a Shelby version of the Mustang. I am sure that John Coletti and old Carroll Shelby are duking it out over what will be the top offering. I personally would like to see Shelby get it. I can also see the Shelby...

    What Mods?

    Is it a stick or a auto? You can always do the drivetrain while you save for the H/C/I combo. Or do the brakes. Gotta have some whoa for the go. Later. Mo' Town

    pull engine and tranny together?

    Just order a EFI plate from Summit or somewhere. It bolts to the lower intake, Much easier and safer than chaining it.

    question about u-joints

    I am 95% sure. My 89 did the same thing. I replaced the U joints and all gone. Mo' Town :flag:

    Cast Cranks vs forged cranks? And what kind of power can they handle?

    OK so I am stuck here in Germany, without a Mustang, but I figure why not build the engine for my dream Mustang while I am here. So I am wanting to do a 351W based stroker, either a 393, a 408, or a 427. I am going to be driving this car regularly when I get back, so it will need to be...

    radar detectors??? who useing emmmm?

    In North Carolina were I got certified, you don't need a radar at all to pace someone we just get about 1/8 mile behind you and get to whatecer speed doens't lose or gain on you. Then we have to pace you for 1/4 mile. That's it. Here in Germany the markers are always 100 meters apart, so with...

    radar detectors??? who useing emmmm?

    Just don't get caught with one in Virginia or Florida. They can take your car, though they usually don't, because you generate revenue for the departments. Yes the newer radar guns are expensive, but a few tickets will pay for it. With Laser the only way a detector can pick it up is if he...

    Bullit Rims on Fox Body ENTER HERE

    You can stay with 5 lug for the rear. It is a FRPP (Ford Racing Performance Part). The Part No is: FMM1126A. It includes the axles and drums. Apparently it use the stock size gear, so there is no need to get a new master cylinder. There is also a front kit that converts to 5 lug and uses...

    20" or bigger cobra R's?

    I think that the blue Fox and the Orange Fox look Awesome. Especially with those drum brakes in there. The owner of the orange one even painted them silver to make them stand out. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: It may look ok on your cobra, but if it looks dumb with those "little" Cobra...

    what pistons and rings are good?

    If you are running an aftercooler and the vortech at only 9 psi, according to ATI's info pack you could be running around 11:1 compression with a carb and an intercooler, so I would guess you run around 10:1 on pump gas with fuel injection. As everyone will tell you, definetely go with...

    Can i Lower My STANG? and do Convertibles use different Springs

    I have seen a fender roller for sale somewhere. I don't remember who makes it or how much it costs? I know that the baseball bat works too. Just lower it as slowly as you can. I thought that the reinforcements were in the rear, and that the verts had stiffer springs in the rear? After...

    nasty brown frothy antifreeze in res?

    It sounds alot like a clogged radiator to me. And if it has that stop leak in it that stuff is garbage. My dad used to dump some pepper in the radiators to stop a leak temporarily. I know, but it worked... But I'd get the radiator flushed, and have them perform a leakdown test on it. A new...

    X_pipe Or Pro Chamber?????????

    The reason the Prochamber creates more heat is pretty basic when you think about it. The heat is created by the "crashing" together of the particles suspended in the gas exiting the engine. This is called friction. Stangbear427 I like the exhaust pulse at the tail pipe thing. I too...

    Larocca's doesn't know how to fix my 93. WTF????

    OK maybe I did come off as a jerk. What I was mainly asking was if you were having those problems, how would adding a cam, heads, bigger injectors, and a blower solve it? Really I might be able to see the cam, head idea, but adding a blower, and bigger injectors? It was already getting too...

    Larocca's doesn't know how to fix my 93. WTF????

    I'm not trying to sound like a jerk, but why did you continue to add performance items, without fixing the initial problem(s) first. I think that may be your fault. And it sounds like somebody a Laroccas has found a sucker (you), to keep dumping money into performance modifications. It...

    Eclipse vs Mustang

    TT RT: I doubt it, the head and cam swap, I've been into cars since I was born (or so I am told), and have been tearing apart and rebuilding cars for over 14 years. Just giving you crap. :D I personally would go Mustang, but I'm not the one writing the check, spending the cash, getting...
