Anyone using a aftermarket vacuum manifold with npt fittings instead of the stock tree? Wanting to find something I can install push lock fittings as well ask having ports big enough for the source from the manifold and for the power breaks.
Gentlemen, I need some assistance from those wiser than me. I have a 1989 Ford Mustang LX, it was originally a 2.3L auto which in my younger, poorer, impulsive, and more stubborn years I Frankenstein-ed this thing over to a 5.0L.
The vehicle has an old 1986 Thunderbird 5.0L non-HO (still has...
Hello guys
I am based in Germany and currently struggling with emission problems with my ‘94 5.0 SN95.
I am not familiar with other emission checks but for us the car has to run with Lambda 0.97 - 1.03 during the emission control procedure.
My first try ended because Lambda was ~1.8 - so too...
Hello everyone, recently got my 1992 GT fox to run again, I changed the fuel pump, fuel injectors(made sure the harness outputs power and it sprays good) , checked for vacuum leaks and none, sparks are good, compression is good, but the thing is when I cold start the car, it sounds significantly...

Long story short I recently inherited a 1993 Mustang GT convertible 5.0 with a Ado transmission in it.

Hi all,
I recently picked up a bare block from a 1991 5.0 and in the lifter valley it's stamped with a triple X on one side and a double X on the other. I was told by the person I picked it up from that he was unsure what it was other than he thought it was a stronger block, any help or...

after driving I noticed this puddle of coolant behind the water pump and next to the distributor of the car (I think it’s on the actual block) I wanted to know where the source of the leak could be. Maybe lower intake?
Hey all,
I’m searching for a block to start a build & just had a question; will a block out of a ‘94 fit into my ‘90? Just so happened to be the first one I found, and it is JUST the block.
Such as engine mounts, mounting to AOD, head fitment…
Greetings ladies and gentlemen, it’s been too long!
I was watching this video of Matt Farah’s car and he mentioned that the Ford Performance crate engine he had in it was making 350 HP with a mild cam, Mac headers, a set of GT40X cylinder heads, and an explorer intake. I looked on Ford’s...

If the answer is no...

Hello guys, Recently starting working on my 91 Notch with a older HP turbo kit, SVO heads and a Tremec 3550 transmission. The car is originally from Hawaii and spent some time in Vegas. When I originally bought it was sporting a weld drag pack since I have put on a mores streetable tire setup...
Hello everyone, I bought a built 347 stroker from an engine builder not too long ago and after getting it in and getting a Dyno tune I was upset with the power it made. I dynod 325 whp and 365 torque. The torque seems pretty good but being that I have and AOD that only puts me at 380-400 engine...
Hello I got me a engine out of a 90s f-150 and I’m not sure exactly what year but I was wanting to do a turbo build with it and I’ve heard the stock engine can hold it as long as I’m not over 450 hp if I rebuild the bottom end with the stock crank and pistons and rods and do gt40 heads and an...
I just replaced a questionable lifter from my engine with a Summit Racing SUM-HT220 lifter, and it is ticking. It was soaked in oil overnight before installing. I can very easily press down the lifter by pushing down on the rocker arm. Oil pressure is 19 at hot idle, but that should be more than...
I've got a vibration between 2000-2400 RPMs that gets worse with clutch engaged. It does it in all gears going any speed, or revving. It gets worse with load too. Not quite sure what it could be. I can feel it the most when I rest my hand on the shifter. Balancer? Clutch plate? Trans input...
