how much would shipping be to houston,tx? let me know, i may be able to work something out if the shipping aint too bad, or maybe i could drive up to get it :( just would like to know how stable the car would be for highway milage, lol, how are gas prices down there?
well someone suggested keeping mine in there for now, doing some basics, but really get a 347 stroker to build up and then swap in, and idea on what kinda tranny would be needed?
well now i'm thinking maybe i should just keep my engine cause it runs fine, and just build a seperate engine on the side, someone recommended off the tccoa boards,
what kinda long block should i look at if i decide to do that? long block or short block? and what cid?
need kinda specific input, not experienced in building an engine
well i dunno pricings here, i live in houston tx, they are sure to over charge, they were asking for like 600 bucks for a used t-45 tranny like a couple eyars ago with like between 32k-60k can't remember, while it doesn't seem too bad, i'm sure he could have done better, as for the engine i'm pretty sure somewhere is gonna charge like 1k, but what all would i need for the ho swap if i find a good affordable engine?
well thank goodness for tax returns, i should be getting close to 1k-1.5k back, what kinda mods should i do? i was planning on doing out the exhaust, maybe getting some gears, and fixing some cosmetic damage,
or now i'm recently thinking about maybe just swapping in a 5.0ho motor instead of my 5.0so, what year motor would go into my car and would my stock tranny bolt up? i need to know in case i decide to do this,
it's stock, maybe i'll throw some lers on there, that should keep enough back pressure right? i ran straight piping on my last bird a 96 4.6L n/a, and i think i did notice a loss in low end torque, if i were to put glasspack lers on it, would that keep enough torque and give it a nice low rumble? if not what ler would give it a really loud and agressive sound? i don't want the transam sounding exhaust, or mustang exhaust, i want some nice loud agressiveness to it, any input is appreciated, thanks
alrighty, thanks to tax returns, and me about to pay off my car, i'm gonna have around $1k-1.5k to work with, i have an 88 5.0 bird, that is completely stock, i was thinking of maybe doing some gears, exhaust, under drive pulleys, and maybe a little cosmetic work on(has dents and t-bird emblems were pulled off and a little rust where it's dented, also needs o-rings replaced),
what do you think i should do with that kinda money, cause i was pretty set on that set up for now, but now i'm thinking of maybe getting an h.o. engine instead of my s.o.? maybe i should save up and buy a better engine off of summit that comes forged and such? and if i do buy a forged engine, what kinda install issues am i looking at for bigger shortblock and for a longblock? well, let me know, you guys know what your doing, and i'm looking for input, so that's why i came to yall, thanks all
will a bbk h-pipe with cats bolt up to some mustang headers i'm going to be putting on my 1988 5.0 tbird? how about the catco h-pipe with cats?
i'd rather use the bbk because it's 2.5" rather than the catco 2.25" but if the bbk won't bolt up to easy i'll prolly save the trouble and get the summit h-pipe and buy some high flow cats, thanks guys :)
i checked and it was a double hump, the hump on the right seemed to be a lil higher but there was indeed two humps, so :D so looks like it's time to just slap on the stang headers and do the exhaust :)
ok but either way a mustang fox body h-pipe should fit for a custom exhaust application no problem right? i already have some mustang headers too, thanks guys
:flip:
