Drivetrain Tech / Shift kit choice
Ive been looking at 2 kits, having trouble deciding.

Baumann kit with the line pressure boost spring/valve. About $100 plus shipping

The SilverFox valve body stage 1,:burnout:  It looks like a very nice unit.  He is local and I could pickup there and save on shipping.  It is $190 shipped. 

So, price is about a wash, but with silverfox, I get a whole new VB, not just the shift kit. 

Any advice or input is appreciated.:hick:

Electrical Tech / 3G charge wiring question
I have done 3g on Mustangs, they dont have a low charge light, I assume the cougars do.

Did you all hook the old black/brown wire back up with the new big gauge wire?  Or did you remove the wires all together?

I guess I could eliminate the old wires and remove the bulb, if the idiot light is all it does.  I have the full digital cluster.:sorry:

Electrical Tech / 3G pulley stuck big time
I cant get this larger pulley off this  thing. Pb blaster and MAPP gas and nothing works, Used my elect impact and tried 1/2 inch ratchet with a 2 foot cheater pipe.

Did some of these things come with a press on pulley?  It is coned in on the end of the bolt ?

Engine Tech / engine setup planning help
My 88 cougar is going to swap to mass air, AOD, 3.27 rear gears.

My Mustang motor Im putting in, is Edelbrock performer heads, underdrive pulley,1.7 RR, full exhaust blah, blah. It already has a B cam installed in it. I am going to have a 70MM maf and 65 ish TB, intake will prob be Explorer with a ported Exp lower.

How will this do with the Cougar if dropped in as is, with the B cam?

Should I crack the motor open and drop in a stock 1990 GT cam?

Should I crack the motor open and maybe advance the B cam to drop the powerband down?

Should I buy a used TFS 1 cam and drop it in?

Looking for some advise. This car will need daily driveability and MPG duty, but dont want to leave a lot of wasted HP potential on the table. Make sense what Im after??

I really dont want to spend more money if I can make the junk I already have work reasonably well.

Engine Tech / coolant overflow issue
The other day, parked my car and went into the store.  When I came out, there was a large stream of coolant running from my car. 

I didnt see any leaking from the radiator, when I checked the overflow tank, it was full to the lid and running out.

I drove it home and checked it again, it was back down.

Any ideas on this?

User Rides / Old Stangs heart, new life for the Cougar
I took my old Mustang motor out to put in my Cougar.  Edelbrock Alum Performer heads, 1.7 RR, full exhaust will go on the Cougar.

Intake will be Explorer/Cobra, or maybe ported by Tmoss.

It will stay AOD, 3.27/3.55 rear gears.

Anybody got some insight for a Cam, and stall speed ??

This is a daily driver wanting good MPG.

Engine Tech / 70 mm maf
What cars are they pulling these 70MM MAF's out of?  They claim to bolt in the same as the Mustang piece and callibrated for 19lb injectors.
