    Keep it going: average age of everyone posting in this thread

    22 years old. (658 + 22)/24 = 28 and a third. The average is getting stronger. I think the more interesting statistic would be to average how old everyone is acting when we lay rubber in first and scratch 2nd lol. hmmm, 12 maybe?

    New Five-oh badges

    Hell yeah! Im with this guy. Anyone else find it odd that the 2011 GT is a brand new car that looks like a car from the 60s with marketting for its engine from the 80s?

    351 VS 460

    Id definitely go 351 or 351-based stroker. Theres some definite cool factor and uniqueness to a 460, but it isnt really necessary unless you want to have enough torque to do 100 mph at 1300 rpm uphill while towing your house, or want to run single digit quarter mile times with ease. Then again...

    I am confused and annoyed...Fuel Pump...

    Hey all, Ill try to make this as brief and concise as possible. Before Today A while ago, my '93 LX 5.0 fuel pump would just run constantly when i turned the key to the on position. I had it towed to a shop, and the genius there threw some iso-heet in the gas tank and voila - she fired...

    5.0 engine...

    I love my 5.0. Welcome back. I would recommend you look up the GT40P head swap (explorer/mountaineer). Also the aftermarket aluminum offerings. In a perfect world, you'd buy an explorer engine from a junkyard, swap over your mustang stuff like distributor, oil pan, different cam, etc, and...

    Is the IRS from a mark 8 the same as that from a cobra?

    Hey all, My brother just got in a wreck with his 97 mark 8. Naturally, we are trying to get the car back in our garage so that we can salvage the motor and other stuff, but i was wondering about the IRS. I know the car has air ride, whereas cobras have coil springs. Is that an issue, if we...

    whats your favorite thing about????

    I love taking mine to 2500 rpm, hearing the exhaust start to snarl, and then shifting into second and feeling the smooth low end torque push me along. My tri-ax really makes the car more fun to drive, as im sure everyone here will agree.

    just curious...opinions on downhill braking

    As a man who loves his manual transmissions, i HATE it when peope just hold the brake down a hill. In my eyes, the brake lights are meant to warn someone behind you when youre about to stop. So if you give it 15% brake pedal, and that trips the brake lights, the guy behind has no way of knowing...

    How hard is it to make 400 rwhp on n/a 331 or 347?

    400 is definitely possible. The power peak will just be at a higher rpm than a 300 rwhp build. Whether or not thats what you want is up to you.
