Engine Tech / WTF?????? Help please...
You can get a great radiator at autozone I put a new one in when I replaced my engine last month and it works great. I also did an electric fan conversion with mine and that helps it run a little cooler actually. You can get what you need for that there also. If ya wanna...

Engine Tech / interested in Charging 87 cougar.
i been wanting to do it to my v6  I have heard about electric superchargers that are under $1000 but I don't know anyhting about them really. You might want to look those up. If you decide to put a blower on though, make sure you get you exhaust upgraded with bigger pipes/duals and/or headers first or you'll probably negate the point anyway.

Engine Tech / cold air ind
I just installed one. I used the Spectre system you can buy at almost any parts store. I currently do not have any pics but I can explain to you how to do it if your interested ( depending on what car you have) Mines on an 88 3.8L the 5.0 would be similar but I dont know about the 2.3

Electrical Tech / rear courtesy lights
Does anyone know anything about the lights in the backseat? I replaced brand new bulbs in them and still cant get them to come on. Could this be a fuse problem? I was expecting them to be on whatever the same circuit as the dome light, but it actually comes on. :confused:

Archive & Library (Read Only) / How to change your buttstuffog odometer reading (lots of pics)
--somewhat relevant--
I have the base cluster with the dig. speedo and the thing is WAY off. It shows about 15% slow. (shows 50 when I'm going 60. the gap is higher the faster I go). Obviously, it's also having quite an effect on my odometer. Does anyone know how to calibrate this? I know its not because of over/undersized tires.

Engine Swapping / ???????
Yeah I know that feeling I've got the 3.8 too and its weak. --0-60 in 9.? at best--  I just bought this car 3 months ago, and since it feels like I have less power than I did then. I definitely have plans to drop at least a 302 HO in it.
