I have a '69 coupe with a 250 I 6 and C-4 automatic and dual exhausts. I'd like to significantly beef up the horsepower without having to swap out the engine....
hi i am on the mustang list like you and i also have a v6 stang but it is a 95 i am not sure about the things you want to do but i do know that you can have...
You can get headers from Clifford at www.cliffordperformance.com The integral intake log is not easily replaced, but I think Clifford makes a 2 or 4 bbl...
Many thanks for the info!! I took a look at headers from Clifford -- the dual headers with the exhaust port divider look like a good solution on the exhaust...
Just bought a '88 LX with a 2300. The motor was rebuilt about 10,000 miles ago. By a friend of the guy who I bought it from. Problem is the engine knocks when...
... Jon, The sounds of lifter tap and rod knock are vastly different. I suggest taking your car to an experienced mechanic (not the one who "rebuilt" the...
I tend to agree. It's hard to tell by your description of the problem, but it sounds like you may have a bad main bearing or rod bearing. The tell-tale hint...

Sorry, I somehow read into Jon's original post that the engine had a rod knock. He didn't, and I agree with what Joe wrote. Jon, were you told about this...

The sound I am hearing is more of tick,tick,tick. sounds like valve noise to me but I saw nothing funny looking when I pulled the valve cover. Local junk yard...
... cover. ... If the noise you are hearing is lifter tapping, Jon, that IS good news. I would still take it to someone experienced for a second opinion. You ...
I agree, bad lifters aren't a big deal to replace. You may want to carefully look over the other valve train components while everything is apart just in case...

Hello all. I just wanted to ask a question about the continuing saga of my hard to start 3.8 engine with original fuel injectors. As most of you have heard...
He may not be kidding about what's wrong with your engine, Warren, but IMHO, he is ripping you off. You can buy everything on the list except the EGR for less...

Stan, Thanks for your input. I pretty much figured I would start with the Throttle Position Sensor and work from there. You are validating the thought. My...
I need a new carburetor for my car. It is a 1986 Mustang. 2.3L - 4 Cylinder. I have looked everywhere and the cheapest one I found was $340. I don't know...

Ashely, Have you tried contacting the local auto salvage yards looking for late 70s to mid 80s for Pintos, Bobcats, Capris, Mustang, or Ranger pickups equiped...
Hello all, I just wanted to thank all of you who offered suggestions for the repair of my car. We are once again mobile and happy! I replaced the throttle...
Glad to hear you are back on the road, Warren! Sorry you had to change the TPS with no improvement, but changing it and the coolant temp sender was sure a lot...

Basically, every part from a '79 to '93 Mustang will bolt right onto your car, Adam, and there are millions of these cars in salvage yards all over the...
Ok guys, I could really use a little help here. I have a 84 Mustang hatchback 3.8. CFI. Been having a real bad time with it running hot. I've replaced the Rad,...
With all that you've done, if everything seems normal, yet the gauge reads hot, then I would suspect a bad gauge. Buy one of those cheap combo water temp...
Stan Thanks for the advise Its kinda funny I was thinking that the gauge might be my problem. I guess sometimes its easy over look the obvious. Ill give this...
One thing I've heard is the aftermarket temperature sending units don't read the same as the genuine Ford units. A few people I know with 60s Mustangs noticed...

I've never had this problem, but if the gauge is easily swapped out, you could maybe buy a new one and try it. Something else I thought of is the effect of...
Hey all, I am having a little problem maybe some of you have seen. Noticed most when idling, I have what seems to be an engine miss (but not consistant). The...
