Sn95 5.0 Engine Rebuild

- Start date
Not quite sure what he means by a 2014 head.im pretty sure this is the original 1994 pass side head but it could be the new 2014 drivers side head
ohh and he said something about doing the cylinders to .10 does that sound right??
Pushrod engines like ours have been out of mustangs since '96.
Someone school me here, is there something here I'm not aware of?
about a month after i got the car i went on vacation
the day i was to start back home i saw the rad was leaking so i took it to the only place that was open .. a pep boys .. wrost mistake i ever made .. so it went in for a new rad and thermostat and came out with new rad and thermo new lower intake and new drivers head (the idiot kept braking bolts .. one going into the lower intake and one going into the drivers head that happened in 2014 thats why i say 1994 head and 2014 head
ok so go i ask about GT 40 or GT 40 X? i would think Aluminum is better and pro more $$ though ..
Ahhhh.
I'm not much of a fan of Pepboys either, some of the guys here are.
Give it about three months talking to us and you'll do your own head, cam, intake swap. QC is much better when you do it yourself.
They do cost more, but, as far as aluminum heads go, they're cheap. Maybe $600 per head tops for new. You'll be able to find cheaper out there, especially good used ones. They are Ford Racing parts.
When they came out, they were the schizzle. Manufacturing has advanced considerably since then. AFR and Trick Flow are two fantastic makers of aluminum heads.
I have GT40X heads on my red car, as I said, at one point, they were very nice. Compared to the stock heads, they're still really great though.
no garage no tools and im crippled can stand for more then about 10-15 min let alone long enough to work on a car .. cant even do my own oil changes anymore :-(
BTW does this group ever do meets back when i was in crownvic.net we did meets .. then i sold the vic years later now the group is all about police impersonating (putting lights and all the crap in your cars) i may brake the law but not like that .. more like doing 100 MPH passed the meet in another members S55 concept 2008ish mercury marauder that has close to 400HP and looking over at the meet seeing a cop in the meet ... lol

We're so spread out. you have guys from Florida to Hawaii and up to Canada here.
There are local mustang clubs everywhere though, look on Facebook. You'll find several there that you can hook up with.
I'm in Oklahoma myself.
I always liked the Marauder. I worked for a ford dealership for a number of years back when those were out.
Crippled? What's up?
knees are shot to hell .... the only mustang club where i am at i wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire .. the head guy in the group "doc" totaly F-ed up my convert top when he "fixed" it ... the lower part of the back window started to separate from the top so i looked at a bunch of places and on you tube and found how to fix it .. but i couldn't do it physically so i took it to docs upholstery in Belvidere and he made it 10 times worse now the car floods when it rains
ouch just talked to guy he said GT 40 heads would add 1K to the bill and i just dont have it ... im borrowing part of the money to get car running again .. so bone stock it is LOL
A thousand! Good god! We need to find you some help man. Crap, at 5k for what you're having done it shouldn't cost any extra.
What's the closest big city to you? Surely there's some clubs there that can help out.
How the **** would that add money if he has not done any machine work to the heads yet? Gt40 heads cost 300$ at a JY and need the same machine work stock heads do.
IMO buy a top end kit from trick flow and have it put on no machine work needs to be done comes with intake heads cam rockers and all the necessary little stuff. This guy is a vampire for sure.

im in rockford the only local club that i know of i dont want anything to do with cuz the guy doc that messed up my top is the president of the club and im not one that would keep my mouth shut about what he did ... ... il just have it rebuilt how he is gana rebuild it at least the it will run and not leak oil
.. at least that will get me out of this POS
Dude...... next time shop around. Ask questions before you spend money...... but like anything else it's easy to look hindsight.
Come on! A Sentra doesn't do it for you? Or is that a Versa?im in rockford the only local club that i know of i dont want anything to do with cuz the guy doc that messed up my top is the president of the club and im not one that would keep my mouth shut about what he did ... ... il just have it rebuilt how he is gana rebuild it at least the it will run and not leak oil.. at least that will get me out of this POS
Seriously though, there has to be another club or two in your area. I'm in Tulsa and there are three or four that I know of.
a sentra only thing i love about this car is no keys u walk up to it with the "key" in your pocket push a button on the door handle and it unlocks car then its a push start
well it was a the car is going in tomorrow type of thing the guy i was gana take it to (used to work at a body shop next door to him) was busy for the next month ... i though mustang place was next best thing as they have been where they are for my WHOLE life ,.... and my pops took his 1978 Lincoln to them when it was side swiped by my uncle ..
opps forgot to post the damage pic on Lincoln starts on the pass front door and keeps going all the way back .. even pushed the rear bumper over to the drivers side ... i cried
... i did really they bought the car about 10 years ago now with only 4 K miles
so getting back to this GT 40 heads what else would go with that just the cam?? AKA what else would i HAVE to replace to do the GT 40 heads
maybe il buy the stuff myself and pay to have it done next year or when ever i have the parts that are needed ya i know in the long run it will be more money
