    4.6l v8 in 88 foxbody?

    The KB's are a little too much for the 4.6L engines I used. They'll hold up with low boost, but then they struggle to make over 400rwhp. Most are stuck at 360 to 380 to live. To me, those numbers aren't worth the coin that a KB costs. A Vortec would be the best blower for either combo...

    No more Y2K Cobra R wheels!!!???

    As far as looks, I'd have to agree. I wish 98 Cobras were 17X9. 95 Cobra R's are awesome. 00 Cobra R's are cool and what I wanted for my project, but oh well. This sucks. I'll have to pick something else now. :shrug:

    No more Y2K Cobra R wheels!!!???

    Yeah, I guess so, Y2K is 11 years old now. Dammit. I loved those wheels because nobody had them. My project passed me by yesterday, I didn't buy the car I was looking at. I bid, but let off because I really didn't think it was gonna be worth that much done for how much it needed. It was a...

    The Official "4-Mod-Fox" progress thread

    Well, I sold Project 4V Mod-Fox to a good friend of mine, so I still see it a few times a week, but she's gone. It's time to move on to something else. MOD-FOX....sold on 7-8-11. Link is to a dyno video. The first pull is the only video I have where it made 267RWHP. But the next pull...

    No more Y2K Cobra R wheels!!!???

    I sold Mod-Fox to a friend of mine and I am thinking up of my next project. Just noticed that Y2K Cobra R wheels are gone!!! 50resto, buyfordracing do not offer them anymore. Americanmuscle has them, but they are chrome and they look terrible. I don't think the spokes look right...

    should it be faster?

    I'd sawy 245RWHP is being generous. I wouldn't expect it to be much over 190rwhp.

    Buying a 1983 Mustang GT, what to look for...

    Most important area are the shock towers, floor boards, and truck floor. Areas on the body panels acan be easily replaced or fixed. Rotted towers and other uni-body areas are more serious to get fixed and would actually make the sale void for me.

    ? tires

    If they are 17x8 Cobra wheels, stick with 245-45-17. If they are 17X9 Cobra wheels, stick with 275-40R17. I'm not a fan of odd size tires on stock wheels. IF you want to up a size I wouldn't go wider than a 255 on 8's and a 285 on 9's.

    opinions on cobra brake kits

    Are you guys nuts spending 2500-3000? Dude, peice it together at a salvage yard as far as spindles and axles go, and buy the rotors/drums, pads, hoses, and calipers new at an AP store. PBR 11" front calipers are only 35-45 bucks a peice, the brackets are roughly 30-35 a peice, same goes for...

    My Ls6 Stang goes [email protected] pic & pics

    Thank you. Finally someone understands the JY situation. Most car guys think there are all types cars and trucks back there with prime parts that are sold at dirt cheap prices. First, anything with a 351 or 302 is OLD AS DIRT. We're talking 70's, 80's, and early 90's. Those are not...

    Quarter window molding covers

    So you did repaint them. I was gonna tell you to do this. You said you didn't wanna spend the money.....it's actually VERY cheap. I've done them with one can of filler primer, some sand paper, and Duplicolor flat black. I also clear coated them with SEM Low-Luster clear so they would be...

    My Ls6 Stang goes [email protected] pic & pics

    $100 351W junkyard block. LOL. We would NEVER pull any sort of 351W or 302 engine for $100. What kind of junkyards do you guys have around you??? I'd be losing money spending the time it takes to pull a motor for $100.00

    How much hp is too much?

    My old 96 Cobra had 400rwhp. Easily streetable, win most races. Then around 2008, some real fast stuff started coming out from the factory, so that simply wasn't enough anymore. Current Terminator has around 600rwhp. That wins a lot of races now, but there are still cars that give it a run...

    How much to expect parting a 88GT with bolt ons?

    I'm in the parts business. Keeping the engine complete in our business is the best way to recoupe a lot of money. However being that it has a lot of aftermarket parts, like intake, exhaust, heads maybe...didn't read your whole OP. I'd part the engine out if it has all that. If the heads are...

    need advice on frame rail repair

    You need to have some serious metal work done to repair that safely and correctly. I had this problem, but a friend at his shop took care of it. Metal dowels must be welded inside the rail so when you bolt it up the metal doesn't collapse. You shouldn't need to do any bondo work when this...
