    GT40P Heads on a Budget Questions

    Im basically just looking to uncork it and get more then the e7s can produce, It has the mild mannered Comp Cams stage 1 .512 lift, 114 LCA. 3:73s will be next. This will be my first crack at a basic port and clean up on the heads and the intake as well while I have it off. After watching a...

    GT40P Heads on a Budget Questions

    Hi everyone, I finally went to the pic n pull yard and scored some P heads off a 2000 to install on my 95 Mustang gt vert. My initial plan is to clean/degrease them, port them, lap the valves and install stiffer spring kit from Alex's. Can I check them for cracks using metal shavings from a...

    Speeding ticket and my defense is..

    Lol, My old Stang had the mods, the Ex has only a single in dual out Flowmaster..Oh and a K&N wannabe air filter..I do appreciate all the responses, but I'm dead serious when I say I was not trying to speed, nor was I being heavy on the peddle..I actually had to slow down to allow the car in...

    Speeding ticket and my defense is..

    This was my 2nd court date that was supposed to be set for trial according to what the judge said at the 1st date...He set it for trial again for 8-12..I humbly explained that I did not think the alleged speed was correct, and I simply wanted to explain why..I realize that they may be used to...

    Speeding ticket and my defense is..

    I don't speed, I don't need too. Ever since I was diagnosed with an illness that renders me unable to work, I moved out to the country side from Chicago/ Tampa, to avoid as much stress as possible, as stress triggers my attacks. Did a compete about face concerning life and priorities, and take...

    Speeding ticket and my defense is..

    Thanks for the replies guys..I haven't had a speeding ticket since I owned my 94 Mustang GT in 02. The thing is that there is a dollar general and a gas station in between the tire shop where he parked, and a vehicle made a left turn into the dollar store, causing me to let off the gas. I...

    Speeding ticket and my defense is..

    Hey guys, I have a question regarding a speeding ticket (revenue extortion). Seems like the new police officers in our town of 700 people, have become a bit over zealous, and they're handing these things out left and right..First off, I'm on disability and can't afford to hand over 125.00, and...

    The right way to check balljoints

    I have done many safety checks, changed many ball joints back in the day, and failed many for this same reason. It was standard practice that if we as A.S.E cert techs, saw, in our trained opinion, ANY excessive vertical play, it was to be a "recommended" part to change, unless the thing popped...

    The right way to check balljoints

    I thought I'd bring this thread back to life a bit as I am currently having to get my Missouri state inspection to re-tag my truck, and the station I took it to checked the ball joints the old school way that I myself had subscribed to when I was wrenching back in the day, and that was to raise...

    Just a few questions

    Just a few questions

    I have to go back to my experience with my 94 Mustang Gt on this. When I first got it I changed gears, intake with CAI, and 1:7 Roller rockers, with the stock cam and it gained very little. Then I changed to AFR heads and a Steeda #19 cam, with UD pulleys and noticed a big difference. In...

    Another Hum/Roar Thread

    Finally got around to changing the drivers side hub bearing. I've been putting it off in hopes this heat wave we're having would subside (100+temps). All went well. Used a big bammer and a quality wrench to "help" along loosening the 15mm bolts that held the hub on, and I also removed the...

    Another Hum/Roar Thread

    Update - I finally got off my rump and jacked up all 4 corners on jack stands, and "drove" the Ex off the ground, while carefully using my stethoscope to probe as close to the hubs as possible. I compared sounds between left and right, and noticed considerable scratching and generally more...

    Another Hum/Roar Thread

    Yep absolutely, I used to give my customers the same advice but now can understand why many had to go cheap, as my hands aren't good enough to draw an income from any more, and I'm working on my own vehicle with one less finger,(Raynaulds disease) so it's gotta be cheap cheap, and an accurate...

    Another Hum/Roar Thread

    I think you guys may be right..after all I did replace the passenger side in '09 and not the drivers side. I am out the door to jack her up and check the drivers side in a few minutes, it's just that yesterday while driving down the hiway on the way to my docs office, the noise was unbearable...

    Another Hum/Roar Thread

    Bumping this thread in hopes someone can help, as I have the dreaded roaring sound that subsides when I make a right hand turn. I have a 1998 AWD 5.0 that when I first got it, I changed the passenger side hub bearing as it made the same noise then as it does now. I used a more expensive Timkin...

    285/60/16 Tires?

    I got a 98 5.0 awd stock height for now and in need of tires, running 255/70/16s on stock rims. I was thinking of putting the 285/60/16s on to give the truck a sportier look, I've used the search option but most of the threads have to do with lifting the truck to accommodate larger tires but I'm...

    Is A Spacer Required For 1:7s

    Greetings everyone. I was reading threads on some of the mods folks are doing, and one of the first things I did to the my Stangs 5.0 was install Crane 1:7 rockers. I never had an issue with them, and was wondering if the valve covers on the Xs posed a problem? Thanks-Jc My bad.. that would be...
