    http://www.hotrod.com/featuredvehicles/98518/index.html since we are talking about fuel economy.... I just don't get this, how does this guy do a twin turbo and still get 20 mpg in town and 27 mpg on the freeway.

    Debating about selling my Mustang

    Well I have asked alot of questions about engines and upgrades lately and I keep on realizing that old cars are not for kids sometimes. I love my car, no doubt about it, and i know that if I sell it I may someday regret it. But Now that I live in Pomona, Ca (moved from Fresno to attend...

    5.0 vs 289

    I plan is to have this car as a daily driver, but still push a respectable amount of HP. I probably shoulda take the 5.0 and keep it EFI and fuel injected so i get better gas millage. My 289 has a 500cfm 4 barrel carter car, stock manifolds to straight throughs dual exhaust, stock everything...

    5.0 vs 289

    It runs pretty well. I am sure there is some horsepower lose from over the years. No real problems. New carb, new radiator, new power steering. I have maintained it pretty well. I am like the 3rd+ owner (not sure of the full vehicle history)

    5.0 vs 289

    Because it is more than likely on the original build. It has 98,000 on the odometer as we speak. And I have the feeling it has rolled over. My dad told me this (he has been a mechanic for 20 years).

    5.0 vs 289

    Either way I am looking to make my car have 250 RWHP. My thoughts would be to do a stock 5.0 and eventually work in a turbo (or twin) somehow, in the future. I plan on spending somewhere along the lines of $2000. I drive my mustang daily, so fuel economy is kind of important, especially...

    5.0 vs 289

    Hey all I have a quick question (i hope this has not been asked to death). I was considering rebuilding my 289 this summer, but the more I think about it I think doing the 5.0 conversion would be smarter. Granted it would be more money but have better benefits in the long run. I was just...

    Outside door button not working

    Okay after spending a few hour working on my door, I got frustrated and stoped. Recently the button on the outside of the passenger door no longer works. I took of part of the door panel, but it was hard to get my hand up inside it. I found out what was wrong, the rod that hooks up into the...

    Where to start with upgrading my Mustangs engine?

    New thoughts on my car and engine. Well i was out driving around Pomona last night with a buddy driving next to me, so we decided to race at one light for the hell of it since no one was around. He drives a 1997 Ponitiac Sunfire GT (automatic) that is mostly stock with the exception full cat...

    I hate Custom Autosound

    I have a Custom Autosound deck in my car. I had to install an extra filter to get rid of the damn buzz the speakers were getting. It works decent, but its still weak. I have 2 Kenwood 5x7's in the back and 2 Kenwood 6 1/2's in the kicks. I am thinking of putting an amp in to get the volume...

    Where to start with upgrading my Mustangs engine?

    I believe I already replace the gears in the rear a few months back, but i think they are still close to stock size. I am curious to what shift kit you recomend, and how much that will set me back. I put on Air shocks on the rear end during Thanksgiving since the new tires i put in the rear...

    Where to start with upgrading my Mustangs engine?

    Thats actually some of the things I am not to sure about. The mufflers were on there when i got the car, and i have not bothered with the engine to much, so I am not to sure about the exhaust manifolds. I am assuming the majority of the parts are still stock on the engine. Like i said i am...
