what are you doing for tuning?

ok thats basically how i was going to do it just with a single throw switch for the high side, but a DT switch would make it much more versatile. thanks for the idea!

a/c has been deleted to get ready for the york install. its a dual fan controller im running one fan so just leave the other one unhooked right?

ok so i have a t-bird fan already mounted and im into the wiring, i know how to wire it all EXCEPT! one thing. there are 3 wires on the fan. one is ground and the other 2 im not sure of. one is orange/blk and the other is blue (i would imagine for the 2-speeds) i would like to wire it up so the...

sounds to me like your ground is shared with something on the column. believe it or not if you share grounds with certain things it can cause them to wig out. my 78 chev did this too. run a thick guage wire from your common ground and run it to your frame or cab. then make sure your ground strap...

well i found out on a fordsix (a strictly /6 only forum) that the compression ratio would be roughly 10.9:1 with flat tops. they have links to all kinds of vendors and tuning companies that specialize in these motors. and would MAF from MAP really make a huge power difference? what all would...

Ok so i have a factory rebuilt head. replacing the head made me think, these are dished pistons! I have an extra block laying around. i was wondering if it is possible to run a true flat top piston in these motors without valve interference? what would that bring the compression ratio to...

swappin a 300 into another 300 lol. im not gonna tear into my motor cuz i cant afford it. i've already done a compression test on mine and its all healthy so i aint gonna tear into it. but does anyone have any "be sure to remember ______" or "make sure you _________" for me?

so i bought my buddies 88 f150 I6 5spd with a ford 9inch rear end (we swapped it in last year) im swapping the I6 from my truck into it and driving it cuz he managed to blow his. I want to get new motor mounts and clutch but idk if its an 11 or 10in. does anyone know off hand? i cant go look at...

so for the last few days my brakes have been pulsing pretty bad when applied. and today my pedal just fell to the floor and after a few seconds of pumping it came back up. i think i need a booster. im not sure can someone please help!!!! THANKS!

I am looking for a 5spd OD transmission for my 87 f150. must be a 2wd tranny. i do not want a granny gear. i have a 4spd in it now and the syncros are goin bad in it and i want the OD for MPG's. i dont believe anything over 91 will work im not sure. PM me if you have one! If your within...

i figured it out. the belt they gave me was too long and it walked off the pulleys, i would imagine it was allowing my water pump to not turn regularly. i put a new belt on it. runs like a champ now. no coolant leak or anything. i think with the water pump not turning as it was intended caused...

Hey guys, hopefully yall can help me. first off ill tell ya what were workin with. i have an 87 f150 2wd 300 I6 4spd EFI. Ok so tonight me and the wife go on a drive, i start to hear my belt squeal. Earlier this week i put a new alternator on and new belt. tore it to shreds, got one an inch...

ok, so it sounds to me like keeping it a 4speed isnt a bad thing. i guess ill just have to guage it. i think i would rather swap in a rear end than a tranny anyway. hmm... thanks for the input guys! yall are great and im very greatful to be a part of the FTF community! sounds cliche i know lol...

the 4spd is $800 the 5speed is $1900 lol yea i can get a tranny for a couple hundred.

oh so im looking at 2 trucks today. both 4.9L manuals, one is a 5speed one is a 4speed. both 8gen. i would rather have the 5speed but the one with the 4speed is a fair amount cheaper. both are 2wd. how hard is it to swap a m5od or zf in to repace the 4speed? would it be super easy or difficult...

this is a very late update, i wrote this thread out of anger and realised after doing my reasearch that it was highly illegal to do anything about it. so i acted like i knew what i was talking about and e-mailed him and ********ted some legal jargin and his dad brought me the money, turns out he...

hes going to try to test drive it by himself. we have a plan if he rides along my buddy is going to call me and meet up with me where he will be confronted by a few "larger" ppl and the intimidation will be enough to hand over the keys.

i went to the police tonight and hey said since i sold it without proper a proper LEIN that i am jat just as much fault as he is and legally we are both in the wrong. my buddy wants to meet up with him tomorrow and act like hes interested int he truck and take a test drive and not come back.

ok here we go, i sold my 92 f150 to a guy and he never made his final payment, i have asked him for over a month now to pay me and he is dodging me, so i am going to go repo it, i can get in it just fine but i dont have a copy of the key, the problem is starting it and starting it fast. can i...

basically all i wanna do is find the easiest way without getting a 2wd chassis. i am stuck with what i got. i have kicked around the idea of leaving it 4wd with just throwin in a 460bbf and a matching c6 or somthing some and some 31"s. and with a 460 all i wanna do with it is tear it down, all...

basically i have a 92 f150 4x4 that i screwed up the motor in. (explorer is my dd) so i was thinkin y not sell the motor tranny drivetrain and swap in a 2wd front end and a carbed cammed 460? i think it would be pretty dope but how hard would it be? will a 2wd fron end just bolt right in? and...

i know on autos if your over 100k dont change the fluid. but what about an M5OD? it has a new clutch (which shouldnt matter just throwing it in) and a small leak from the tailshaft housing. i am thinking about just draining it all putting in lucas and dex/mercIII and runnin with it. good idea or...

thanks but what about dual bore TB's?

5.0 2wd. cut off one cat. 5spd. no momotor mods yet. how do i adjust the tps (thats throttle positioning right??) how do i know how much to adjust it??

sometimes when i press the gas it lags then takes off. any idea what it is??

its your truck do what you want. personally i like em but im also an 18yr old kid so of course im gonna like em. but hey its your truck no one else has to like it just you.

so then is the truck intake what i should use? what about the gt-40 intake uppers and lower. also, so i would notice a lot more power with a cam? i can break it loose in second gear alrady no problem but thats not enough. i want hellacious response.

but would the intake off a mustang give me any power? and what about the throttle body??? would i need a tune if i put on the gt-40 heads???

ok i have a few questions. i bought a 95 f-150 and i want to know. what is the difference in the mustang 5.0 motors and the f-150 5.0 motors. would swapping the top half of a mustang on to my f-150 be a good idea? (heads, intake, throttle body, etc.) and would i need to swap the ecu? if not...
