I have seen both sides of this debate first-hand. My car (96 GT) has a built, bored, stroked teksid, head work, fuel system, procharger, etc. etc. My brother's car (97 GT) has a coyote out of a 2013 F150. Control pack and wiring kit, headers, tubular K, etc. etc.
What it comes down to is how...
Finally got the car back together after about 2 months. Did a WOT pull today and at about 5500rpm the car bucked and shut off. I opened the hood to find that the charge pipe blew off of the throttle body. All of the clamps are tight - double checked before I started the car. Car ran fine...
Did a quick search and couldn't find anything but please delete if there's already a thread like this.
What's the worst injury you've gotten while working on your car? So far I've only managed to hurt the fingers a bit after an old bolt finally loosens and I end up punching something hard...

I'm planning to install Cobra calipers on my GT, and while I'm at it upgrade the pads, rotors, and brake lines. My question is, with the Cobra calipers, do I buy the Cobra brake lines, and will they bolt up to the car? I'm aware that the lines themselves are different. Instinct tells me to...
Hi guys, I recently bought a used p1sc kit with a 3 core intercooler. My GT has a forged and stroked teksid with slightly worked B heads. I made 310/304 on a Mustang Dyno with 39lb injectors and a Walbro 255 pump.
It's looking like the kit will make about 8-9psi with the stroker. Should I...
Hi all, I'm posting in here because I know that SVTP has a wealth of knowledge on just about everything under the sun and I was hoping that I could get a few extra opinions.
I am an Accounting major due to graduate this May. I interned with a Big 4 firm in the summer of 2014 and accepted an...
Hi guys, I'm looking for a grey leather steering wheel for my 96 gt with the light grey/black interior panels. I currently have the non-leather (vinyl?) kind that is worn pretty bad.
I found this two-tone wheel out of an 02 on ebay. I didn't think that the 96 and 02 interiors matched, but...
Hey everyone, my three roommates and I (all guys) are looking for a good group costume to wear this halloweekend up at school. As seniors, we have to go out in style. We can be a bunch of goons at times and would like our costumes to be funny as well.
We've searched around and stuff, but...

I picked up a new RAM clutch and flywheel to put in during my 4v swap, and the car is finally back on the road after around 7 months. The new clutch is catching maybe an inch off the floor, and I feel like I have to push the clutch pedal through the floor just to get the transmission to shift...
Hey guys, figured I'd post the invitation up here. Currently a junior at UConn and this will be my third year working the show. We had almost 1000 cars last year and it's definitely worth the drive! Info is below. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Hey all, I'm looking for some recommendations for a machine shop in CT or near CT. I have a local one in mind but would definitely like to hear what other names come up. Engine is a 4.6 4v, would need the block machined and the bottom end put together.
Also, if anyone knows of a local-ish...

Hello all, I'm Zach from CT. Finally decided to join the forum after a lot of lurking around as a guest. This intro post is probably long overdue as I joined a little while back. I've got a 1996 GT--nothing special, it's just been my baby ever since I bought it bone stock the day I turned 16...
