    what rings for 86 5.0 ?

    it's a 4 inch bore correct? and your using 4 inch rings, not .020 over or anything right? I know I had the same problem, sort of, took one of the pistons into the parts dept. with me to make sure they ordered the right ones before paying. make sure you have the ring compressor tight enough...

    need help with Gears--buying tomorrow, also o2 sensors, and exhaust question

    I'm having a guy at school help me install the gears. He's been around a while and really knows his stuff. I just figured while I was there I should upgrade all the other stuff. I spun out today for sh ts and giggles and one tire spun. No hook up of any kind, complete garbage rear, would like...

    need help with Gears--buying tomorrow, also o2 sensors, and exhaust question

    Ok, I'm going out and Buying 3.73:1 gears and an x-pipe and mufflers tomorrow. Have my mind made up from the sounds list. I just rebuilt the motor--bone stock---and it is missing an o2 sensor. Since I'm going with an "off-road" exhaust (no-cats) do the o2's even get used? Hate to waste my money...

    Can you put heads on backwards?

    It's always better to bolt them back on the correct way, lol. They will work either way, so I've been told. Never had the chance to verify-nor did I ever feel the urge. Maybe someone else can verify, but you should be able to clean the carbon out of the holes--probably a lot of it, and throw...

    Not dot approved tail lights

    There are imports around here who have those on there honda's, nissans. etc. no problems. I think alot depends on what you're doing. When I was 17 and had my first 5.0, the Police pulled me over because they "couldn't see my sales sticker registration #", and because "my front windows had around...

    My motor takes its last breath....

    I live in the N.W. side of Davenport. I actually have several cars. The Mustang I own is an 89 GT I just bought 2-3 months ago. Oil pan had rusted through, so the guy (suit and tie type) bought a new SPI pan and a one peice pan gasket, tore the engine apart and didn't know how to put it back...

    My motor takes its last breath....

    $$$300. Good find. I guess it eats at me a little that this guy works at a machine shop, and dropped in a fresh engine, not bothering to tear apart the old one first. You would think an experienced specialist would know to condemn the old motor first. Also why would he drop in the old engine and...

    My motor takes its last breath....

    well, I see how they got the 360 results. and $350 to upgrade to forged pistons, wow!! sucks man. 113,000 k. Kinda wondering how much cylinder taper you got. Could get by with all new bearings, machining crank, piston rings (optional) and gaskets. maybe an oil pump and timing chain while you...

    My motor takes its last breath....

    Nice find dagger. However, with that package I would question there 360HP dyno results. If it was mine I'd tear it down and rebuild it from the ground up. Seeing as how this is your daily driver and I'm guessing time is of the essense, that ebay reman keeps lookin sweeter and sweeter.

    Huge lack of traction

    lol, no it's actually lagging poorly. No turbo, no mods of any kind. Maybe I should rename my nic to my$1000project. I give $100 for the car, and it's bone stock, with a fresh rebuild. Both tires seem to scratch. no axle hop, then again I haven't dumped the clutch as of yet (waiting a few...

    134A conversion kit

    The way I understand it is there are 3 different types of conversions. and I may have them mixed up. I think this is how it goes. Type 1-the first- A complete kit, with evaporator, condensor, compressor, rcvr/drier or accumulator (whichever applies), orifice tube, and a new compressor. Type...
