Body/Appearance/Interior / Custom Built Headlight Cluster
Dayuumm! I REALLLLLLY want cougars2go's headlights.However,they look like alot of work...too  much for me anyway
im gonna have to settle for driving at night with my highbeams on.:D

i've thought about just blacking out the lights and just leaving the main ones clear..thats probably the route i'll take

Engine Tech / X3Z vs A9L
thanks to all,im going to stick to my guns on this and run the cobra.
as for the a9p vs a9l...

It is perfectly acceptable to use a manual transmission computer in an automatic car (but you cannot do the reverse). The timing curve and sensor adjustments are a little more responsive with a manual computer, giving you better throttle response and slightly improved 0-60 times.

again, thanks for your input

Engine Tech / X3Z vs A9L
I bought a nice X3Z cobra computer from a local for $100 and it seemed like i got a good deal, finally i could drop in a good ol e303 and upgrade to mass air..
i had planned on using 24lb injectors and the matching MA meter
BUT,
after doing a bit of research i see alot of people favor the a9l due to it's tunability and X3Z's leaning out around 6000rpm
should i abandon the cobra ecu?is anyone using these or have any experience?AHH!! help is much apprieciated 

also there will be no tuning in the equation-
thanks

Engine Tech / cold air ind
i have one on my 87 5.0, i used a bbk fenderwell induction set-up for a mustang,super easy,pretty and about $140 shipped

http://www.bbkperformance.com/products/86-95-ford-mustang-50l-throttle-induction-system.html

the only issue is the is a space for the mass air sensor,you can by an air inlet tube on ebay Or just buy the mass air sensor for about $20 on ebay (BUT DONT HOOK IT UP,YOU WILL DIE)not really but your engine will get jacked up

 
if you want i'll post some pics tomarrow let me know

Electrical Tech / replacing ecu
I have some rebuilt 19lb injectors that will go in,thanks dominator

65mm tb and spacer already on my 150hp py motor along with my fenderwell induction kit from bbk, btw i've noticed better mileage with it on (about .6 mpg)

yeah double roller timing chain is on the list as well as e3 spark plugs and a 155lph fuel pump.
other than that im good to go!
I'll keep you guize updated once i start the actual build

Electrical Tech / replacing ecu
hushiznithe lifters are the same,nice! I didn't know that!!!
i've seen roller conversions with (the spider tray,dog bones,lifters) go for $40 but the mustang cam is flat tappet, no?

i have the haynes repair manual for cougars and the section about the ecu says to go to a specailist and not to do it myself (wtf?) so i was kinda worried..ummmm where is it located?:hick:

im watching a mustang cam on ebay right now with 100k miles that will probally go for $30 shipped so i guess i'll pick it up and im good to go! FINALLY

Electrical Tech / replacing ecu
hey,
Originally my plan was to go with an A9L,but the e303,lifters,stall converter,tranny rebuild would've completely drained me of my money...
so it's back to the DA1 and speed density for now.
I have no experience with electrical other than plugging in switches

How hard is it to swap ECUs?
Can i do it myself? should I?
will my intake and heads effect the ecu badly?(i will be using a stock mustang cam :punchballs:)
i hope someone has done this any help is appreciated
thanks
