spankis Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Post some more pictures of this thing. I saw it in the parking lot at Kingy's once, and that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWW$HEEET Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 bigger gap = more power, more chance of spark blowout. smaller gap = less power, less chance of spark blowout. id start wide and move in if you are blowing it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboNova Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 End up trading the 5.0 for it? Yeah it was the best for both parties. I loved the idea behind this car and what it was and the mustang was too nice to drive.... or at least it was to me after I got the body/paint work done.

TurboNova Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Man, she needs a turbo blanket I know thats on my list. I dont care for the intercooler intake wrap. I am gonna get a blanket for it and then proly have the intake powder coated with the other stuff that I am gonna do. Though I may rock it till this winter when I pull the motor....

Dave1647545494 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 In related news, I am in the market for something to make this n/a 5.0 at least as fast as my V6 DD. How much spray can a 110k+ 89 5.0 take? depends on how/where you spray it..... they make a pretty neat plate kit that sandwiches in between the upper and the lower that will do 200 or so.... if you run the plate that goes between the tb and the upper 100ish is the limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't touch that motor till it blows up or gives you a reason to pull it. That thing has been a good motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That thing has been a good motor. yeah Ill be rocking it all summer (or till it blows) The only reason for me to pull it really was to re loom the loose wires and make it cleaner. I have that extra shortblock sitting on the stand in the garage I am going to check the bearings on it and just have it waiting for this block to split Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
