    5.0 ticking pretty bad

    I appreciate it...and I believe the header gaskets will be looked at just to eliminate either the tick or the possibility that it was the problem lol. Ill try to grab a video when I get home Mon! Matt

    5.0 ticking pretty bad

    Been chasing a tick the last couple weeks that recently popped up on the 5 liter. Sounded like it was comin from the intake, couldnt narrow it down to a single cylinder nor valve cover even. Did a compression test and all cylinders were spot on 150. Oil pressure is solid and acting like...

    Fox body in high school

    I drove my 66 coupe and until it was painted, people thought it was lame. I didnt care tho, i loved every bit of it!!! A kid in my neighborhood drives a ROUGH 88 LX hatch and gets made fun of alot, but they dont realize under the hood is a fresh 302 with HCI/bolt-ons. I bet thats fun...

    why is my car slower than my friend's escort

    Search around, you will find tons of stuff on here. Look in the stickies, there is a dyno/drag time thread with the combo that netted the numbers listed. Gears, Bolt-ons, tires, heads/cam/intake...it all depends on how much $$$ you wanna spend. Matt

    Guys with gauges under their radios....in here

    Ive got em down there and have no problem with it. I like to keep em outta sight of others as well, and its a really clean look when you get in the car. Ive seen some people flip those panels and put the radio on the bottom and gauges up top but I kept mine the normal way. Matt

    May be a silly reply, but check the inertia switch at the rear of the car around the tailight. if its popped up, push the red button in. Ive seen where somethin as stupid as that has caused hours of frustration lol Matt

    The BlueCoupe, my 90 LX 5.0 pics

    The front only rubs on full lock turns (needs steering stops) and on hard turns with bumps like my driveway. I rolled the fenders slightly which got rid of most of it. I wish I coulda found a 17x8 front wheel instead of the 17x9 with a 245 but now its all good. When I run without a sway bar...

    The BlueCoupe, my 90 LX 5.0 pics

    They have a 275 on the back and thats pushin it as it is. I had to flip the quads and hammer out part of the inner fender for the Mickey Ts (also 275s) to fit! I have my days where i like one or the other, so I have one for the street and the other for the track lol. Im interested in seein...

    TFS Stage 1 cam with stock heads

    I swapped to the TFS1 when my motor was out, nothing more than it and some headers and it ran like a champ! I swapped the valve springs out as well which wasnt that big a deal. If you plan on swappin heads later on, do it then cause then you wont spend money on springs that wont be used long...
