    North RaceCars SN 95 Rear Disc Conversion

    The brackets come bare so I gave them a wash with acetone and a scrub with Scotsbrite. Shot them w/a few coats of semi-gloss black and hung them to dry over night. I already stripped the old brakes so on go the new brackets. Notice, there is a spacer that goes on the outer lip where the...

    North RaceCars SN 95 Rear Disc Conversion

    Hi Everyone, Today I installed SN95 rear discs on my 91 Notch project. I started out with an SVO/LSC rear disc setup. The axle was out of an 88 Turbo Coupe with 3:73's. That setup was great for the 87 Saleen rims I have but I'm going to put them on my 91 hatch. The 89 5 star Saleen rims...

    Lincoln VII AOD Trans Swap in 91 5.0

    I picked up a used AOD out of a 93 Mustang and measured it. Turns out that the Lincoln tranny is about an inch longer. Anyway, I popped the pan and took a look at the selector mechanism. I might have tried to swap it if I had a spare Mustang selector. Although, it would be a project that I...

    Lincoln VII AOD Trans Swap in 91 5.0

    I pulled the tranny. Shortening the driveshaft and switching levers would be more trouble than it's worth. Especially since I don't have a Mustang AOD to swap a selector from. It came out pretty easy but is much more difficult to remove than a 5spd. Back to the drawing board AOD or 5spd?

    Lincoln VII AOD Trans Swap in 91 5.0

    Unfortunately, the lever is a huge undertaking to replace. Has anyone put a Lincoln AOD in their 5.0 and managed to get the shiifter linkage to work thru all gears?

    Lincoln VII AOD Trans Swap in 91 5.0

    Hi Everyone, Well I'm all done w/my 2.3 to 5.0 swap. The donor engine and AOD came from a low mile 89 LSC while all the other bits and pieces came from an 89 GT (minus motor and trans). I knew the transmission was going to be about 1" longer and figured that would be the extent of the...

    sn-95 a-arm upgrade

    I have SN95 front spindles on my 91 with stock A-Arms. I just pulled the 2002 units off in favor of some 1995's. The 2002's are in fact about 1/2 inch longer than the 95's. I've read there is a difference of about 8mm and 14mm between the spindles. Adding the 1.25" by usning the SN95 A-Arms...

    aerostar aluminum driveshaft swap!

    I paid $12, yes twelve dollars for mine at the local Pull-A-Part. I bought another one just cause it was there. I used stock Mustang U-Joints on my 91. You'll need to re-use your differential mounting plate as the Aerostar's plate is different. I have it plugged into an AOD if anyone is...

    4cyl swap

    You're 4 banger k member is exactly the same as the 5.0 so just pop your motormounts on and dump the V8 in. You'll need to match your engine harness to the 89, meaning the 90 will not work. The 89 is unique. Save yourself a major headache and buy an 89 engine harness to mate with the 89's...

    BEST Subframe connectors

    I made my own by using 2X2 box sock. I welded them up and they fit flush with the subframe. I had the material left over from a deck guardrail project.

    Brake Booster

    I used to have the same set up as you except for the TC rear. I opted for LSC flipped calipers and stock length Ranger 5 lug axles. I used a Mark VII mastecylinder and prop valve with the stock V8 booster. It worked perfect. I have since switched to SN95 01 spindles (too wide and switching...

    Cylinder Balance test w/code reader problem......

    I'm actually running the test to give me an idea if it's time for an injector swap. They have about 80k on them and I'm kinda under the impression that one or more is sticking. Although the KOER test did flag my O2's. I'll run the test tomorrow morning B4 I start painting the basement and...

    Cylinder Balance test w/code reader problem......

    I'l try putting the one that was originally on the TB. The 95 just looks like a nicer piece. I'll run the diagnostics again and see what happens.

    Cylinder Balance test w/code reader problem......

    Oh yeah, the 41 might be flagged because the are no cats or smog whatsoever. The EGR is still in the TB.

    Cylinder Balance test w/code reader problem......

    Grounding the 30 pin was the trick! I just read about it in one one of your previous posts and there you throw down your knowledge and help me get my KOER done! Here's what the scanner pulled: 12 (RPM's at about 9k...a bit high), and 41( bad O2's). My IAC might not work cause I got it from a...

    Cylinder Balance test w/code reader problem......

    This might help someone figure what my prob is. I get a code 67 and 29 in my KOEO test. I have an AOD and don't have A/C. I've read that you can't run a KOER test if you run a 67. According to the 67 code definition, my Neutral Drive Switch in open or failed. Any other ideas?

    Cylinder Balance test w/code reader problem......

    Maybe my code reader is junk. Here's what happens when I try and run a KOER test...Plug the code reader in, turn the engine on, turn the reader on, pess the test button, the motor just about dies, I hit the throttle, and no codes.....not even the cylinder ID code....well once the cylinder count...
