    Are the GT40s worth it?

    I was going to port the head myself. My buddy and I both have dremmels, and we've ported and polished several pieces in our day. I also have a 2004 WRX (2.0L turbo), and I've ported the intercooler, TB, and uppipe at this point. Now, I know that I'm going to need to be a little more careful...

    Are the GT40s worth it?

    So, obviously I'll have to get new roller rockers and valve springs for the GT40s then, right? The current aftermarket springs and roller rockers that I have on my E7s won't work at all on the GT40s, will they?

    Are the GT40s worth it?

    What if they're just the regular GT40s (not the GT40p's)? Are the regular GT40s still worth it? Also, will they fit my 1.7rr's, and how hard is it to perform a 3-angle valve job on a set of heads?

    Are the GT40s worth it?

    My buddy and I were at the junkyard today, and we happened to pass by a 5.0L Explorer. Now, he has a 5.0L Explorer (I'm not sure which year), so we stopped for a second and he ended up pulling a few things off of it for his truck. Since the Explorer was "fresh in" to the junkyard, it still had...

    Need help quick!

    Sounds like you have more then a timing issue. The reason I say that, is because when I had a timing problem, I was still able to drive the thing normally. It was only when I was mashing on the pedal and the engine was reaching the upper rpms that I would notice my car would stutter and pop...

    '87 GT Grinds going into 2nd gear only...

    I have the same problem with 2nd gear, and 3rd gear. :scratch: I was wondering, is the Cobra 6-speed an option, or will I be forced to buy a new T5 or rebuild the one I have? :shrug:

    ? about pulleys

    True...but I'm sure every time you can eliminate some resistance, it will help the natural flow of things. Therefore adding... 1,000,000 hp! :shock: :eek:

    ? about pulleys

    I appreciate the help guys. I think I'll just stick with a new p/s pump and keep the OEM pulley. Let me ask you guys one more question. My pump obviously makes a high-pitch whining noise at idle, then it REALLY chatters when I hit the throttle and the rpms climb. :rolleyes: I'm pretty...

    ? about pulleys

    Let me ask you guys something. Do a lot of people underdrive the p/s pump or the alternator on the Mustang? I've only heard of underdriving the crank, whereas on my previous car (Contour SVT), underdriving the crank would throw off the harmonic balance. Therefore, on my CSVT I had...

    ? about pulleys

    My power steering pump is going out. It whines when I'm idling, and it REALLY whines when I hit the throttle. Bottomline, the thing's going to be replaced next weekend. But I was just wondering, has anybody replaced their stock p/s pulley with a lightweight or underdrive pulley...

    need a computer whiz!

    Dude...your hardrive's toast. This just happened to me about 3 weeks ago. Go to Best Buy and get a new HD. Then you'll need to call, well in my case it was HP, so in your case I guess it will be Compaq, and ask them to send the OS disks to you by mail. It will take about a week (sorry), but...

    Aluminum driveshaft

    I ran a 13.5 with the stock DS. Just as I suspected, after installing my aluminum driveshaft, I was able to run a 10.6........ :leaving:

    5.0 wont start

    Yes, definitely check your fuel pump relay under the driver seat. I assumed fuel pump the first time and ended up with the SAME problem I started with, since it ended up not being the issue. It did however, turn out to be the fuel pump relay. After all was said and done....at least I now have...
