    89 5.0 World Class T5 In A Datsun Help

    I"m impressed that you found enough room in a Datsun to put a coyote engine in. This wouldn't be the forum to find help, and since you're talking about a Datsun, I'm not sure where to send you. However, welcome to the forums. Look around at the different forums here, and I'm sure you'll find...

    Anything about the car is welcome here. And, this is your *first* car? Cool! Nice first car. Just remember to be careful, we don't want to hear about a wrecked first car. (get a beater ricer to wreck, hehe). 6 days after I bought my first Mustang, (well into my 40's) a dear slammed into...

    New Member-86 Gt Convertible

    Nice looking GT. Welcome to the Forum. Is it bone stock, or moded somewhat? Looks like someone must have taken at least decent care of it. had to remove the part about the garage.

    Actual Mpg

    I'm getting around 21 - 25 mpg (depending on if I have to race a Camero or something). But, if I drive with the cruise on I can get right at 24 pretty steady. 5.0 Manual Tranny, 3.73 rear. I have a 50 mile ride to work, so I can usually get a pretty good gauge. If there's moderate traffic and...

    In that light it almost looks Red. Where did you pick up those black hood vents, or is that how it came? I like that look.

    2015 Gt Anniversary Edition - Chrome Bezel Tail Lamp Blades

    Why would you *want* to do that? The chrome was specifically added as a throw back to the 64. However, I'm sure that some of the addon makers will come up with covers that would change the color.

    Post Your 2015 Pictures Here!

    I've been silent on here for a while. Had to trade off the '11 due to kid issues. Anyway, I'm back in the saddle again. :D 2015 GT Premium with 50th Anniversary package, performance Package, Navigation, pretty much all the goodies. Had to put the Tundra in the Yard, it rained, so the...

    A possible pattern?

    I have not noticed my Gas gauge going dead, 11 GT Premium. So, it may be that they finally got over it.

    BLOWN UP 2011 5.0

    I wonder if 11Coyote is even logging back in to read this thread. I'm sure the thought process was more along the lines of "I'll get all these 'Stang folks behind me and twist Ford's Arm" and instead got "all these 'Stang folks calling me an idiot or saying sorry about your luck". However...

    Off topic, 1949 Ford truck

    I would suggest going to some local parts stores and asking around. Not the chain stores (at first anyway). They usually know about what something like that would run. I used to have a '56 with about the same engine. I miss that 'ole gas hog. :D I did rebuild the engine in that one, the...

    2012 GT owners fuel cap/filler?

    I hate to say it but there are a lot of jealous idiots out there who hate you for having a nice car. My Dad had a '73 ford pickup with a newly rebilt and very nice sounding 302 in it. Some fruitcake poured sugar and fine sand into his tank. I had a 289 Mustang engine I was rebuilding and gave...

    Things to look out for buying a used 2010GT

    Congrats! I still have a hard time not looking silly driving mine. I let my wife do the yea/nay on the dealing with the salesman, 'cause my haggling ability was never there. :D

    Getting rid of the OEM tires

    That is a cool pic! good way to finish off tires you're going to replace anyway. Just gotta make sure to leave enough tread to get to the tire shop. :D
