Hello!!
My name is Rob. Just bought my first Mustang. Just jumped ships from the Honda world. Been working on cars for about 6 years now, mostly Honda's but not completely biased when it comes to anything with a motor in it. Right now don't have any huge plans for the notch, but they will definitely come in the future.
1990 LX 5.0 Notchback 112k on the clock
B303 Cam
BBK Shorty's
BBK X-Pipe
Pypes chamber mufflers
2.5" Pipes
Right now getting used to the "lopey" feeling. It has a couple small things that I would like to fix right off the bat. Right now having an issue with coasting at around 20mph; it will feel like a grinding/jerking motion when I'm completely off the throttle. On the throttle nothing, but when foots completely off it has the jerking motion to it, not sure if it's because of the cam or something else. Going to trouble shoot it tomorrow. The alt output right now is in the "normal" window but sitting low. Oil pressure is not bad, but definitely would prefer that it's halfway in the "normal" part of the gauge.
Here are the plans for now:
Clean Throttle Body
Upgrade to 100amp Alternator
Replace Headlights
Wix Tranmission Filter Replacement
B&M Shift Kit
FRPP 3.73 Rear
U-Joint Replacement
Engine and Trans Mount Replacement (Energy)
Replace Worn/Broken Interior Pieces
After I get the little things replaced going to start saving up for a modular swap. I dont mind the pushrod motors, but the new modulars are much more responsive to power adders. Ideally, I'd like to go with a DOHC modular with an Eaton but we'll see what I can score when it comes time for that. Keeping an eye out for a 98-2004 as an entire donor car, that way I can pretty much just transfer everything over with only slight modifications.
Looking forward to getting this thing up and going but have some stuff I am trying to finish up on the house before I can focus funds toward this. Looking forward to getting to know the fellow owners here and gain some more knowledge.
