The comparison is a bit like a vintage Arnold or Frank Zane vs the mass monsters of today. Yes, the modern body builders and high HP cars pack a lot more muscle and tech. There is a natural progression where at some point however more is not always better. We all like more power to a point...
I like the used U-Haul idea. You don't need to tie yourself into huge payments where you end up reducing your hard earned profit to pay for your rig. You're going to probably put a ton of miles on a service vehicle anyway so get something that is already depreciated. And if it needs repair...
Installing a reman engine with 0 miles into a '03 Expedition. Engine builder says just put 5w20 conventional in and change it with new filter at 500 miles. No need for anything but conventional 5w20 he says. What do the omniscient posters of SVTP say?
Like title says, recommend an oil for fairly normal street use in AZ. Car has .525" lift roller cam, AFR heads, catted, fuel injected, 5 speed, stock A9L computer. Break in already done with conventional oil.

For those that have used these, which would you recommend? I need something that covers a good variety of vehicles without breaking the bank. Also I would like to buy the software just one time rather than the monthly subscription. Thoughts, good idea or bad idea?
So I'm finally about to start modding my '92 notch 5 speed with the Holley Systemax upper/lower intake and aluminum heads. Also will have CAI, larger MAF, equal length BBK headers, and catted BBK x-pipe with 3.73 out back. What's the best cam for this setup where I don't have to rev it to the...
Here's another WWSVTP do poll. I've got a '92 notch with 3.73, short throw, good suspension stuff, but otherwise stock (not even exhaust). There's a clean local stock '99 Cobra Vert available at a pretty decent price. I wouldn't have to take out a loan, so no worries there. Should I:
1)...
I'm looking at adding some N/A power to a '92 notch. It currently has 3.73 gears, short shifter, and lowered ~2" with good suspension stuff and a strut tower brace up front. I'll eventually go with headers, some kind of high flow cat X/H pipe, and whatever flavor of muffler.
I want to...
Check out this Craigslist ad: 2002 F-250 diesel 7.3
So, SVTP, is this worth looking into? I've got a good diesel mechanic that should be able to fix this without a huge markup.
It's a 2002 single cab long bed Power Stroke, 4x2 automatic with 102k miles. The owner says it has bad...
Found this on Craigslist:
http://tucson.craigslist.org/cto/867952819.html
Is this a good starting point to drop a 302/347 into? What is the value of this car just as a roller?
Talked with the owner, he says interior is nice and no body/paint work. Odometer stopped working, mileage...
There's a '91 SSP former Utah Patrol 5 speed coupe for sale in my area. It has 160k miles and has been repainted 3 years ago. The owner says the speedo and AC don't work and has a cracked windshield, but it runs nice. Also, there is light damage to LF fender from a high speed tire blowout...
When Meguiar's NXT came out a couple years ago I thought it was pretty good, but now I guess I'm looking for something a little smoother to the touch and longer lasting. Is this asking too much? Or should I just break down and switch to Zaino and be done with it?
I've got a very stock '92 Notch AOD w/ 47k and in nice shape. I really miss rowing my own gears, but this car is in pretty nice shape with low miles. Would it make more sense to convert this car to a T5 or sell it and look for a 5 speed Fox? More than likely I'd like to end up with a...
SOLD! '92 5.0 Notch 47k All Original
I've decided to sell my 1992 5.0 LX Auto with only 47k original miles. This is a hard to find trunk car that has not been molested and is in very nice shape inside and out. I have the original window sticker showing the car was purchased locally in...
What do you guys think my '92 5.0 LX Notch Auto is worth with 47k original miles? Car has no mods other than Flowmaster exhaust (sounds great) and a Sony "Xplode" CD player. I have the original window sticker showing it was purchased here in Tucson, and the original owner was older and had it...
Hi all, I'm trying to figure out why my '92 5.0 won't start after I just put in new plug wires. I should've started the car first before installing wires to make sure it would run b/c I haven't run it in 10 days. I could re-install all the old wires but I double checked all connections so I...
What do you guys know about the '97 Cobras used in Bondurant's school? Here's the eBay link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SVT-Cobra-Roush-Race-Prepped-Bondurant-Collector-Car_W0QQitemZ150273217054QQihZ005QQcategoryZ6236QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Got a question for all you Fox body fans. Tonight I'm going to look at a '92 notch 5.0 with an auto and only 47k. Tell me if you think it's a good price at $4,700.
According to the ad and talking with the owner, it was owned by an older guy until a year ago. No paint/wrecks, etc and the...
