    3G Alternator Upgrade-Now I have Head Light issues!

    The flash to pass works and I dont know how to tell if the high and low beams are working at the same time. I was thinking that some wiring got messed up somewhere but I did not touch any wiring other than the alternator harness. Do you think the problem is the head lamp switch on the dash>...

    3G Alternator Upgrade-Now I have Head Light issues!

    Before the alternator swap, my headlight switch worked properly. After the swap, it did not work. All my lights, radio, turn signals, running lamps work except for the normal head lamps. Also, I was using an 87 head lamp switch on my dash and my car is a 93. It was fine for 3 years like...

    3G Alternator Upgrade-Now I have Head Light issues!

    Ok, I have a 93 Mustang 5.0. I just put in the 130amp kit and fired up the car. Everything appeared to be ok, until I tried my headlights. EVERYTHING else works, except for the headlights. And heres the kicker, the high beams work! So last night I had to drive around with my high beams on...

    Electrical Question- I am stumped! PICS

    Ok, I swapped my engine from an 87 to a 93 and changed all the wiring to the 93. Everything works exept for the rear window defroster! The switch on the dash works, but, there should be a delay switch that should be under the dash somewhere that turns off the rear defroster after a certain...

    351 dart block stroked to 427ci

    What kind of lower intake and upper should I get in order for the car to still hook up to the wiring harness and vaccum lines? I have heard that I can get a lower Victor Junior intake and then have a GT-40 on top. This would allow me to retain, the throttle body, egr and mounting hardware for...

    351 dart block stroked to 427ci

    Ok, I am not too terribely concerned with the car making in excess of 500RWHP. I am more interested in having a big block car, as it will be unique and more than I will ever need. If it makes more than 400 at the flywheel, I will be happy. I plan on buying the kit from CHP performance. Is...

    351 dart block stroked to 427ci

    The reason that I want to reuse the heads in because I am kind of on a budget. However, would porting the head on the 351, adding larger valves, and a better valve train do the job of a good aftermarket head? Also, what cam would you recommend, since the car will mostly only see the street...

    351 dart block stroked to 427ci

    I plan on making the 427 pump gas. I will also use (after talking to a machine shop) a late model 93 or so 5.8l from a truck or van and have it rebuilt to 427 specs using the CHP 427 stroker kit. I want to, but am not attached to the idea of, keeping the stock heads from the 351w that came...

    351 dart block stroked to 427ci

    That sounds good, thanks for all your help. I plan on digging into this project this summer, as I have nothing else to do this summer! I dont think it should be too hard though. Just a lot of $$$ for the rebuild. Thanks again! If you want to keep updated, check out my webpage at...

    351 dart block stroked to 427ci

    Ok, I understand that all the simple stuff will swap over. Will the distributor still work with the mustangs wiring harness'es? As far as I can understand, if I pull out the 302 and get a stroked 351 to 427, all of the stuff above should swap over. Now, what is the best intake/head combo...

    351 dart block stroked to 427ci

    I have been brainstorming for quite some time about what to swap in my 93 Mustang. Recently I thought of a great idea. I could get a get a long block from CHP or somewhere else that is a 351/427 stroked engine. Could I use all my stock computer w/a spider intake with this combo if I make it...

    Shock tower brace recommendations?

    ARRRGHHHH! Be careful with buying a strut tower brace!!!! "I know from experiance dude, if ya now what I mean" (<-Billy Madison Quote, Chris Farely). I had a 87 with a 2.3 and bought a kenny brown strut tower brace. I was so excited. Then I had a shop install it. They charged a lot of...

    93 5.0L Timming

    What is the best timming for my 93 5.0L (auto trans)? It is bone stock other than full exhaust with no cats and a larger throttle body. Right now it is at 14 degrees and it runs great. Should I back off to 10?????? She dynoed at 175 RWHP and 246 LBFT. Would I get more if I backed off???

    Low Dyno #'s

    Thanks for the reply. I have considered some of what you listed. The plugs are new, wires, and the engine itself has no blowby nor smoke in any way. She is healthy from as far as I know. I do agree that the TB may be too big, but is that the reason for the 23 HP loss? Any more suggestions...

    Low Dyno #'s

    Ok. I have a 93 Mustang 5.0 (120k), with an auto (doh!). She has a host of mods, such as Full Exhaust (No cats), Alluminum Driveshaft, Cold Air intake, larger throttle body, bumped timing (14 degrees), sub frames, and some misc. other things. I got it dynoed last summer. She made a whopping...

    1/4 Mile Estimate

    Thanks for the reply's. I want to get around 230-250 RWHP. The weight as far as I know is an accurate depitcion of it. I took out a LOT of crap from the car. I am talking about seats, insulation, HVAC system, etc. Anyways, the car came stock with an AOD and the 3.27 along with it. I got...

    1/4 Mile Estimate

    Hey guys, I got a question for you. This guy at my work insists that he is going to waste me in his 2000 Eclipse GT. He has basic mods done to it, nothing major. I currently have a 92 Mustang LX Hatch that makes a recorded 175 RWHP and 246 LB FT or Torque. Due to my auto trans, I think he...
