    300 six into 88 drop top

    Never say never, but... I had a '83 F250 with the 300 six cylinder in it. This was at the same time i had my 5.0. This is the only reason im replying to your post. Ive had both. Trust me when i say, each engine was in the right vehicle. Putting the 300 in a fox body, for a high performance...

    Tri-ax shifter handle?

    Correct me if im wrong here, but that is for the 3650 only. I put it on my '03 GT. Its alright, but i prefer the tri-ax in my 5.0 to it. The tri ax has a slightly shorter throw and much tighter (less sloppy/rubbery) feel than stock. The shark performance one on ebay is SUPER short, ultra...

    Tri-ax shifter handle?

    +1 whole thing. money well spent. dont skimp out. Its something you use everytime you drive the car, not the thousands of dollars we all spend for 4000-6000 rpm power improvements which we dont use that often lol.

    96-98 Cobra VS 99-04 GT's Looking to buy

    I also have an '03 GT and am in the process of selling it so that i can get any Cobra. After being exposed to a 4v, the 2v is really no substitute. If Im going to have a ford smallblock thats got 2 valves per cylinder, I'd rather have a 5.0. If im gonna do a 4.6, its gonna be a 4v. Give me the...

    Clutch adjustment question

    Hey all, My brother and I are about done changing his clutch out on his '00 GT. I was just wondering if the stock adjuster thingy needs to be messed with. The old clutch had 156k miles on it; practically down to the rivets. With the stock quadrant adjusted to that, I am a bit concerned that...

    Got the Mach tuned today...

    Sweet car man. Any indication as to why you had burnt valves in the first place? The car appears to be low-ish mileage and is obviously well maintained. I hope it lasts a nice long while before needing to be rebuilt again!

    4.6 reliability and peformance over the years

    i think theyre both durable engines. Aside from that, my brothers '00 GT has 155k miles and still pulls like brand new. Its still on the first clutch lol.

    As a fellow ex-300 owner myself, i have to ask, what about the truck did you hate?

    Handz Detailed: SN95 Exterior Maintenance... Taken Too Far

    Great job as always, handz. Keep up the good work. EDIT: Couldnt contain myself. I also have an '03 GT (stock). I'd rather have yours. Moon is just being beligerant. **** him.

    Would the ecu detect a bad TFI Module/Coil?

    Hey all, Im trying to track down my cars issues. Ever since I did the GT40P/exploder top end swap on my car it hasnt been the animal it should be. Anything above 3000 rpm just feels flat and sluggish. The ecu crapped out on me, and i've replaced that. Now its back up and running, but still...

    Anyone running Dynomax Super Turbos?

    I had Dynomax STs on my 5.0 when i first got it. I'd say itd be a great replacement for a stock muffler, honestly. Theyre maybe 15% louder. I think the only gain really is that you can get em in 2.5".

    other drivers reacting to presence of 5.0

    I havent read the replies to this thread but i can 110% agree with EVERYTHING you've said. My 5.0 has full exhaust with SLP LM1s, so it gets noticed by everyone within a mile radius. My GT is bright red with chrome wheels. Its ridiculous. People in Jeeps, Kias, Econoline vans, ****boxes, you...

    Been a while and i have a few updates, not all mustang related...

    Sorry to hear your story man. Thats rough. Hope youre holding up well. On the other hand, it is VERY impressive to me that that F150 rolled 3 times. It really doesnt look it, and - most important of all - the fact that it protected you is the best news. Its one more reason i actually believe...
