Re: track width

... look at a Turbo Coupe rear axle. You'd get an 8.8 with 3.55 or 3.73 gears, rear disc brakes, and about 1.5" of additional rear track. Not a bad deal considering you can get the entire assembly for probably $200 to $300. Mine was $250, and I added LSC front calipers and an SVO master cylinder ...

Re: new engine for 92 5.0

Cracked head, or rings
Very distinct possibilities....

Squirt some oil down the cylinders, if compression comes up, bad rings, if not, bad head.

Drivability issue, car seems lean...

... gauges besides the temp gauge seem to be working normally. The temp gauge did notr work before. If it weren't for the tach I would say it had a bad fuel pump, but the pump sounds normal. I am thinking that somewhere a wire is broken/disconnected or making poor contact but I can't figure out ...

Alarm problem caused my 5.0 problems

... that caused the hornes to go off . I think that [color=#0000FF]is the first place I am going to have checked out. Prehaps a fuse for the horns is bad and I did not catch the right fuse. Can some one tell me were the horn relay is located. I purchased a new one along with two new factory horns ...

Coolant Problems

... noises coming from it and their aren't any leaks anywhere that I can tell, but I don't know what else would keep coolant from flowing. Would a bad temp sensor create this problem? Does anyone have any other ideas?
