    Opinions Wanted: Best H/C/I set up w/ STrim?

    Stock block 302 with 40k mi. Has gears, TB, exhaust, cold air intake, the usual stuff. Ordering heads, cam, and intake all at once to save time and then a blower (Strim) once I have enough money. Heads: Should I get AFR 165's or get the 185's because I will be adding the STrim? Are 185's...

    Replacing shocks/springs, what to go with??

    Springs= A lot of good companies make lowering springs for Mustangs nowadays. Expect to spend anywhere from $140 for Ford Racing Springs to around $230 for Eibachs, H&R's or Steedas. Eibachs and H&R's are known for having great quality and won't sag over time. Shocks= Depends if you...

    smog pump

    Everyone I've heard talking about this uses an 84.5 inch belt. I haven't done it to my car yet though. So you need a 6 rib 84 and a half inch belt.

    Tires hit front fenders under mild turning...

    This may be hard to believe, but new shocks will help (at least they did for me). I have a 91 with 17X9's 245's front and 275's rear. Was rubbing real bad everywhere. Installed Bilsteins at all four corners and Maximum Motorsports CC plates. The car never rubs now and that's all I did. My...

    What is a good place to get an Alignment?

    Just put some MM CC plates on my car. The directions call for very specific camber/caster/toe settings when you have the car aligned. Can a place like Midas or NTB set my car up correctly? Where do you guys take your cars to get alignments done?

    Eibach or H&R?

    I've heard that both these spring lines are similar. Is the Eibach Sportline basically the same as the H&R Supersport and the Pro-Kit the same as the H&R Sport? I want H&R's but don't want to drop as much as the Eibach Sportline's do. Please give opinions on these two companies.

    02-04 Mustangs look better

    What is really great about the Mustang is that each model year run had its particular attributes. If I could have one car from each generation these would be my picks: 64-73: 1967 GT 500 (just like Eleanor) 74-78: no thanks, I'll pass 79-93: 92 LX 5.0 Hatchback (last year of forged...

    02-04 Mustangs look better

    [QUOTE= - the Fox bodies are quite possibly the ugliest cars I have ever seen. How those things say "muscle car" or "sports car" is beyond me. I remember when I was little my dad was looking for a car, he went to check out a Mustang and when he saw it he freaked out and was like "THAT is a...

    Spring install PLEASE HELP!

    The rear springs are usually the easy part...did you get your fronts in yet? You should not have to use a spring compressor to istall springs on a Mustang. Your LC arm bushings might be old and not letting the arm flex down enough so make sure you pull on them hard to get a full range of...

    What is right way to delete Smog Pump?

    Why do companies sell the "smog pump delete" kits that put a dummy pulley in place of the smog pump? Can't you just completely remove the pump and then run a 84 &1/2 inch belt? The price of the short belt is far less than paying $70-100 for a delete kit, right?

    How much did you pay for your Bilsteins?

    I'm putting Bilstein Shocks/Struts on my 91 Gt. Maximum Motorsports wants $620 a set. Does any place out there have them for cheaper or is that a good price?

    any real difference in power between going from stock GT tail pipes to Dumps?

    I wouldn't do it to my GT.... the noise is annoying.

    Please HELP with Spring Re-install..

    I had a lot of trouble when I put my springs in too. First of all, you really need two people to do the job. You likely are having problems because when you go to jack up the A arm the springs keep coming out of the perches right? The trick is to get a long pry bar and run it through the hole...

    Help on Fox Body Mustangs

    Just a quick question-- Do the Cobra bumbers look OK on an otherwise stock GT or should you change over the ground effects to Cobra style too?

    Please Help! Tires still rubbing...

    Ok. Some of you might remember that I was having trouble with my 91 GT rubbing the rear tires after I switched over to 5- lug disc out back. I had used the SN95 axles and concluded that was my problem. So I ordered the Northracecars brackets and installed the shorter ranger axles. Guess what...

    Anyone ever weld converters into an O/R h-pipe?

    Not having the air tube shouldn't be a problem. I passed without mine conected to the thermactors. But seriously, I would just buy or borrow an old stocker H with cats, pass the test, and then put my off road back on. That would be much easier than welding and ruining a perfectly good off...

    3-2 port m/c conversion

    Another alternative to Matt would be Maximum Motorsports. They sell 3-2 conversion kits and a couple different kinds of master cylinders. The kits cost about $10 more than Matts kit does though. Their MC's are all under $100 though. Also, don't forget about adding an adj prop valve and a...

    Need help on a 92 lx

    You are waaaayyyy off on your 96-98 gt estimate. I was actually really surprised that his dad's 92 feels slow compared to his 97 because the 96-98 GT's are some of slowest Stangs built. They don't have the PI heads like the 99 and ups do and were therefore only rated at 215hp. Couple that...
