    what music if you ran from the cops

    Dang. What "302GTS" said! What about: Flirtin with Disaster--Molly Hatchet Ace of Spades--Motorhead Just another Day--Dio Liberate--Disturbed Everlong--Foo Fighters Burnout--Green Day (Most of Dookie, in fact.) The Trooper--Iron Maiden Goin Down--Jeff Beck/Stevie Ray Vaughan...

    C6 Transmission in a 1995?

    Kurt is right. Although the C6 IS a killer trans, it really is heavy duty enough that it should be behind a hot big block. (Or a HUGE 351w with nitrous and a blower.) You should see the inside of one...big, heavy parts that the engine has to spin, just to move the car. It is overkill for...

    who will win?

    This is a deal where you cant win. If he wins, that sucks. It you win, he says "But yeah, you've got the V8!" and it's almost like you've lost. (Or, he might say "Let's try it in the rain.") It might be best to keep him wondering.

    1998 mustang 4.6

    He should take a trip to Vegas or something. Cause $600 isn't going to do much for a 98 GT. Seriously, maybe he could get some rear gears installed. (4.10's) Will make it seem quicker/more fun. You could ask the guys over in the 4.6 liter section...

    Finally!!!!

    Gotta be careful buying that cheapo sheetmetal. Most of the time, there is a nasty bit of work involved in getting it to fit right. It really is better to buy OEM sheetmetal parts from a parts car/JY. It might be a good time to put an aftermarket hood and bumper cover on it, if you fancy that...

    Camel Towing...

    Nice find! Before we all had cameras in our cell phones, I saw an F250 with the name "Hard-Steel Erectors" on it. I almost drove off the road, it was so funny!

    How long does it take to build your credit after getting your first credit card?

    So, the only thing we dont see eye to eye on is our approach to unsecured debt? I've told you quite a few post ago to "do it your way" and you still want to fight prove to me that it's the right thing to do. (Why the need to defend your life's choices? They sure dont effect me.) I still...

    How long does it take to build your credit after getting your first credit card?

    Dude, you're just wrong and you know it. Read back through my first 3 or 4 posts! I was talking only about credit card and car debt. The only thing I ever mentioned about a mortgage is that you dont need credit card "credit" to get a house. Why did you NOT address that? Because it's true...

    How long does it take to build your credit after getting your first credit card?

    Exactly what blksn955.o said. I was talking about UNSECURED debt. If things go bad for you, you can probably sell the house and cover most of the debt. A car depreciates so fast that if you need out of it, you'll need to finance the difference between the sale price and the amount you owe to...

    How long does it take to build your credit after getting your first credit card?

    Blackvert said- "being OK with carrying debt around, and thinking that it is normal or good is just plain stupid. if you want to give your hard earned money to the car company and the bank every month for the rest of your life, then go right ahead. it's your money, throw it away if you want...

    How long does it take to build your credit after getting your first credit card?

    "revhead"-dont take this personally. It's not meant as an attack on you. What you're saying though, is complete garbage. It is "conventional wisdom" that is based on a market that operates in a known and usual manner. This market has been screwed up for several years, so it doesn't count...

    How long does it take to build your credit after getting your first credit card?

    Just a question...when you have a $300-$500 a month car payment and that car starts breaking down on you (usually with a large payoff balance) what are you going to do? Not only will you have a car that is killing you but you'll also have that payment keeping you from fixing it or saving for...

    How long does it take to build your credit after getting your first credit card?

    Why not just buy a car you can afford? Better for you, in the long run. Credit card companies suck. They're raising fee's and rates on the customers that pay their bills on time and dont carry a balance because they dont make money on them. And if you save all that money that you WOULD...

    Budget 351W swap/build thread

    I actually did that when I put a carb'ed 5.0 into a Merkur XR4ti. Works great! Used a Holley "Red" pump. I hope I didn't "goober" your secret. :rolleyes:

    Budget 351W swap/build thread

    If you don't have the elbow for the intake, I have one. I sold my car so I'm not going to use it. The P.O. chopped the EGR mount off but some material could easily be welded back on, if needed. $50, shipped. PM me if you want it.

    351w swap will it pass emissions?????

    Engine displacement has almost nothing to do with emissions levels. It has more to do with the engine's efficiency, cam timing events, cylinder head design, exhaust devices, etc. Most Ford enthusiasts can't tell the difference between a 351w and a 302w. I'd bet money that half of the guys...

    Tape on front end for roadtrip...safe??

    I'm not here to start or maintain a pissing match. Do what you want to. It's your car. I grew up working in my dad's body shop when the "bra craze" was in full swing. We did a LOT of work to repair the damage that was done by those things. I don't care how good it is or how long you...
