    4V in bad shape

    My bearings went bad and I swapped them from the bottom. I still get a tiny bit of knock for about one second on start up before oil gets to the bearings. I figure I have 5k-10K before it all comes apart. I have about 15k in parts and labor in the car atm. I have serious back issues and I can't...

    What's required to make 400 NA hp?

    I have to get my 96 teksid rebuilt. I'm sort of broke as a joke atm, I'll never be able to get a supercharger or turbo so a good reliable NA setup is what I am after.

    What's involved in changing 96 motor to 2004?

    I have a 96 with a spun bearing. Rebuild estimate is about 3K+1K labor I can get a pulled 2004 motor with 56K miles that's never been modded with a 6 speed for $2500. It has the ecu, but I am not sure about the pats/key parts. What would I need to get this done?

    Spun bearing!

    96 cobra spun bearing. I didn't drive it all week, go for a drive and at 35 hit a massive hole in the road and it instantly started making the knocking noise. Car has 98K miles on it, stock everything apart from bolt ons. Mechanic confirms something is wrong, maybe bent a wrist pin or...

    Low oil light never goes out.

    First it would be on if I was parked facing downhill. If I drove and parked, did shopping it would be off on next start. Now it just stays on all the time. Plenty of oil in the engine, temps are fine. Ideas?

    Never registered car with no title, some other issues

    I am looking at a car that was never registered, was only used on private land as a test mule. Anyone ever go to the state police and get a title with a legal bill of sale?

    IMRC pinout?

    I want to test my imrc plates before putting the top back on. What I have found so far on other sites is: " Looks like my replacement parts are good. With 12V on pin 2, pin 3 grounded, and pin 1 floating, the IMRC plates are closed (motor is not energized). In this state on ohmmeter...

    Dallas Mustang Speedcal arrived

    I'm not too keen on the design choice, the voltage IC should have a heat sink on it. Instead it is soldered to the board. No sticker like on the web site, no serial number. I took my order number and info and wrote it on a small piece of paper and taped it to the back. Small complain is the...

    What's involved in taking the heads off

    I seen how dirty the valves are, and while it's apart wondering what is needed to take the heads off and clean them. Gaskets for sure, not sure about the head studs, are they reusable? I am wondering what it would take in parts to just take them off and clean them good since I am already...

    So what does 16 years of oil vapor do to your car? readon

    We all know why ford made the oil vapor dump to the plenum. It was an extremely lazy way to deal with an expensive problem. So flash forward and this is the end result. Plenum is clean, as seafoam can reach. IMRC plates are gummed up as expected, but not so bad as to be useless as sea foam can...
