    Bought a Dark Horse with the Ford Performance Whipple Kit

    Curious... What gives the predator more displacement over the coyote? Longer stroke or larger bore? Or both? What we do know is the DH definitely doesn't have a predator shortblock.

    Why would peak power be at 9k? If anything, the larger displacement would lower peak power using the same cams. With a flat plane crank yes but I'm saying to use the CPC from the predator.

    True but my point is on paper, the gt350 is still on top N/A and that car is 9yrs old. This car with a CPC 5.2 rated at 530 would make it a lot easier choice over the gt to the average buyer and justify the price. Does the window sticker even show the rotating assembly difference and transmission?

    This car and the last mach 1 should have had a CPC 5.2 to set it apart from the rest of the lineup.

    Notchy/grindy shifting after engine and clutch change

    Good news, replaced the quadrant and installed a firewall adjuster and lubricated the cable. Shifts like butter now!!!

    Whipple and ford has a partnership to develop this kit and obviously the tuning to go along with it. I'd trust fords signoff over the lund guy. Lund isn't invited to the party so of course they'll bad mouth it.

    Agreed, there's a reason you rarely see someone replace an ECOBOOST truck with another ECOBOOST. Myself included. That said, my father just traded in his ECOBOOST on a 2018 coyote, I thought for sure it had rod knock but according to the dealer, it's cam phasers and very common for them to be...

    While the price of the DH is more than I could ever afford, it does seem reasonable when comparing it to the price of trucks these days.

    Oem clutch cable XR3Z-7535-CA

    There definitely a business opportunity for someone. There has to be a large number of 79-04 mustangs on the road or garages needing a reliable cable.

    Oem clutch cable XR3Z-7535-CA

    I've been needing a new one as well. I can't believe someone isn't producing a reliable cable at this point.

    Notchy/grindy shifting after engine and clutch change

    Thanks everyone. I'll change the quadrant and install a firewall adjuster and lube the cable all at the same time. I'm hesitant to change the cable since the aftermarket seems worse than the stock from what I read.

    Notchy/grindy shifting after engine and clutch change

    Prior to doing an engine and clutch swap, my tr3650 shifted fine. After swapping the engine and installing a 03/04 cobra clutch, shifting is notchy and grinds a bit while normal driving. It gets better once things get warmed up. Is the clutch sticking or do I need some sort of adjustment...
