pics of my stang that has tranny probs.

[DarkestGKnight]

just showing a pic of the stang gotta get the tranny rebuilt and also its my first pic im posting wanna see if i can post it.

[SYKO]

I like that! looks mean, sorry cant help you with the trans probs

[DarkestGKnight]

thanks man i love this car cant wait till i get the prob fixed and start putting mods on it like a manfold and throttle body.

[oldsking86]

Man just convert it to the stick-shift you'll be much happier

[DarkestGKnight]

i kno i want stick but its alotta money right now for me maybe when i get this job thrusday after a year of saving ill buy a manual trans.

[oldsking86]

Ehhh just grab one out of the junkyard if your lucky unless your trying for a T56 which is the choice tranny for it.. I have a T5 sitting around that I was planning on using for my oldsmobile but I may just sell the tranny instead

[DarkestGKnight]

wait so will *Edited**Edited* t5 fit in my mustang im not good on trannys so u gotta help me with these names of them lol thx

[icp4life162005]

a T-56 6-speed transmission would be ideal, but you mentioned cost being the biggest factor. I recommend the Ford T-5 5-speed transmission which can be found in thunder birds and most mustangs. Read this its a LOT of useful info. http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2000/09/t5swap/

[Black86tri-z]

you need to use a 94-95 t-5 tranny with that year bell housing because input shaft is longer, or a 86-93 t-5 with one of those year bell housing's and a drive shaft spacer!. had a t-56 in my last street car, what a nice tranny but i traded it for my pro-shifted micronited g-force for my new car!

[DarkestGKnight]

oh ok thanks guy im gonna look into the t-5 tranny maybe as something for the future.

[RedRider_AK]

What kinda mods do you have on the Stang already? Unless you've got a decent flowing exhaust and intake, throttle body and manifold ain't gonna do much. I'd put money into a cold-air intake/exhaust/cam first, then add on the manifold and throttle body.

[DarkestGKnight]

i have an exhaust and cold air intake already.

[RedRider_AK]

Well, maybe it'll do you some good then. Put a 'charger of some sort on it! Or bottle-feed it! Or a cam!

[icp4life162005]

charger or turbo NO BOTTLE! Its not worth the extra stress on your engine and the lasting damage it will eventually cause.

[Tekawte1]

Get a GM.. That will fix the tranny.. LOL just kiddin . to each his own. :lol: :beer

[DarkestGKnight]

well idk im gonna look into more mods later on but i heard a throttle body will be a very good mod to put on also shorty header pipes, but i heard they are illegal

[honda_atc200es]

shorty header pipes arent illegal as long as you have an exhaust with cats. only thing that stinks about newer stangs is strict emmisions regulations, a coulpe more years i can run just stright pipes and ill be fine,but for right now flowmasters are fine. yea if you really want to wake your car up an h/c/i swap would be idea, thats what i want to do. but head this warning, drive it stock for a year or so first, even stock mustangs are too much power for beginers, get used to it find your limits and the cars limits and improve it step by step from there

[DarkestGKnight]

yeah i kno but ive drove this car plenty of times when my bro had it on the road i use to drive it alot but im gonna wait on mods till next year wat i really wanna do is tear that 5.0 out and throw in a small block something i can work on.

[oldsking86]

Man plus would be slapping a cam in it, you'll notice a REAL difference with that! haha make it a fony pony! be surprised how common that is in the pro series

[DarkestGKnight]

ok thanks im gonna look into the cam more when i get my job.

[oldsking86]

Yea man, when it comes down to performance a cam is the key to having a strong running machine. No matter what people say about a supercharger, turbo, nitrous, intake, etc your cam will give a significant power difference and pull through the powerband. Yea boost is nice but that's another story and reguires more tunning and setting up

[DarkestGKnight]

yeah can u do me a big favor maybe get me a website that has the cam for sale like the right one for the 5.0 thanks alot, tim.

[honda_atc200es]

look up e303 cam on google, you might find it on americanmuscle.com or steedaparts.com (not sure if the steeda one is the right link)

[oldsking86]

Yea, im not a huge ford fan so I don't know where to look to be honest. Now Jegs is a good place to start or a specialty mustang website. Even a goof mustang forum would be a good place to look because most of those guys are using custom cut cam's and well if the person knows what they are doing you could gain EVERY HP you have at every RPM..

Your stang has the 5.0 not the 4.6?

[DarkestGKnight]

yeah its a 5.0 well im gonna look on summit racing its a good site and i get magazines from them to. thx

[oldsking86]

Yea they are another awesome place to look at! When it comes to cars I know a pretty good thing or 2 then compared to trikes so haha If ya got any questions let me know

[DarkestGKnight]

ok thank you.

[Black86tri-z]

buy a trick flow stage 1 cam, best mild cam made hands down for mostely stock stang's motorsport cam's were good in the 90's but time's have changed and a split duration cam will work way better than a e cam plusthe trick flow cam is stupid cheap! plus it's not to big that you would have have to change your valve springs!

[honda_atc200es]

join mustangforums.com, im a member there, my name is foxstang89

[ceaserthethird]

Here's a couple of Stang web sites READ UP till you drop before you buy anything !

www.stangnet.com , www.mustangworld.com , www.corral.net

Great Sites - Tons of INFO

I have the Same car as you - 1994 Mustang GT Conv. 5.0 :w00t:

[DarkestGKnight]

thanks for sites im gonna look at them and sweet kool, looks really hott

[Mike_Ham_250R]

T-5's are cheap just convert it.

Heres mine, mines a little newer than yours, you have the 5.0 pushrod I have the 4.6 Modular SOHC 2v.

http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa261/ModularMike/nikon160.jpg

[Mike_Ham_250R]

Whoa every mustang in this thread so far has Saleen wheels. W00t.

Just get a ford racing E303 cam, and some GT40P heads. Firstly I would swap the tranny out for a T-5. Very cheap to do, and it's cheaper in the long run. Pay the money to get the AODE fixed now and then when you start modding your car it will be slow as bawls unless you have a shift kit and stall converter. Just get a used T-5 they are a dime a dozen.

[3leggeddog]

mike,don't steer this boy wrong.forget the ford racing cam-junk,forget the iron heads-junk,there is a very simple equation if you want a 12 sec. car.


trick flow stage 2 cam,twisted wedge heads,or afr 185's,a victor jr.,or performer intake,some 1.7 rocker arms,nice exhaust,and a holley 750 double pumper.

you can have a fast auotmatic car as well.think about this,once you past a certain e.t.,the 5 speed hurts ya.it take the average person 3/4 of a sec. to shift.thats 3/4 of a sec the car is not pulling down the track.a auto tranny shifts in about 1/4 of a sec,you actually lost time with a five speed.they are more fun to drive,and for the average car guy,a better option then building a nice aod.but they are not always faster.

heres my turd

Does have a point, once you reach a certain HP mark and speed the stick shift can't beat an auto because of human error or reaction time.. My dad just put a muncie 4 speed in his olds and with the motor it just doesn't give him the same powerful pull because the time interval to change gears is not as consistent as his old auto.. and we are talking a 9 second car here too

[DarkestGKnight]

wow nice stang i love it, of i was also looking at shorty headers i wanna ad on my list from wat i heard they are very good, wats *Edited**Edited* guys opinion on them

[oldsking86]

Shorties are a good place to start, long tunes are better but that goes with supporting mids like head work, a nice big cam, etc

[3leggeddog]

depends,i have ran both,the shorty headers are a nicer fit,and seal up better.the long tubes netted no performance gain for me,and they leak were the pipes come together before the collector.shorty headers are a good choice,that and a nice x pipe,some flow masters and you got a nice sounding ride

[Black86tri-z]

NMRA REAL STREET 9 SEC STICK CAR'S 3 WHEELIES IN A ROW BEST CLASS IN RACING !!!!!best class in mustang racing to top it off they use stock cams and 110 octain!!!!!!!!
