    A "Shocking" Proposition...

    Alot of what I am looking for in a shock is durability and longevity. The Bilsteins have that( I have them on my 91'LX). I have seen the KYB's lose pressure, leak, and lock up only 1 year into their installation. I have read mixed reviews about Edelbrock's offering. Is the GR2 by KYB a...

    A "Shocking" Proposition...

    I have a 1967 coupe with a 5.0L. The shocks in the rear are TOAST. it looks like the car has been pre-runnered it sags so much! I have been looking at Shocks and would REALLY like to find a pair of Bilsteins that fit the rear but I have come up with nothing. Could anyone recommend a good brand...

    Suspension packages?

    Well then if you aren't using it as a daily driver, and the stang sees use as a weekend joy rider, then go for that package. I like it and would DEFINITELY HELP your car out, especially the occasional 11 second run. I would wager that the package would potentially drop your E.T. by .3-.5...

    Suspension packages?

    No, but they don't need to be. If you want more aggressive ones than the regularly valved ones, Maximum Motorsports has specially valved ones for racing, direct from Bilstein, if that is what you are looking for.

    Dude, the 94-95 5.0 are a great car to start on. It's ALOT of fun! I own a 91' notch and my brother has a 95 5.0 GTS. But if you have the money, there is a 1999 or 2001 cobra on autotrader.com for around $10,000. That is a great car too. Ask yourself what you want. Do you want a car that has a...

    Suspension packages?

    Well it depends upon how much money you have, and what you want to do with it (i.e. drag racing, street-strip, road course racer). I have bought from Maximum Motorsports the subframe connectors and they are high quality and well packaged as any others. But the best thing I can recommend is...

    somebody shoot me!

    The lifters are definitely good for 7000+ RPM. Had them run in a 331 stroker and they are hard to beat. Your problem, I feel, it with your distributor. At around 6000 RPM you are pushing a lot of air into that chamber, very rapidly. Your distributor will DEFINITELY have a problem if it is...

    I own a 91 Notch with full-length subframe connectors and bilsteins. It has 187,000+ miles on it and the front suspension is... well toast... I have a full K-member suspension set-up from an 89 and was thinking of swapping the two. But while I'm there, I want to do as much as I can to improve...

    Roller 5.0 Carb'd into 1968 Mustang

    Accessories... I want to run the power steering and alternator from the '68. All of this information is great! So I basically need a new 50oz flexplate, maybe new pullies, change out the timing cover, and oil pan. What about the water pump. It's reverse flow. How will that work if I change the...

    Roller 5.0 Carb'd into 1968 Mustang

    I am putting a Roller 5.0 into a 1968 Mustang and I have some issues. I know I have to retrofit the fuel pump and oil pan, but what else is there? What about the accesories? Do I use the old ones? I don't have the money to convert the old accessories into serpentine drive, what are my options...
