Is that it? Ford would charge 5+ hrs to re and re a heat shield and change the line?

i have a 10' sho leaking oil from the turbo oil feed line on the firewall side. It's the line leaking, not the seals, I can get to the engine side, but the turbo side I can barely get one finger on the head of the banjo bolt. There is also a heat shield on the exhaust manifold directly above...

I can't answer that, I don't understand it my self. Getting a regular t56 and bolting it to the back of the motor would make this significantly easier.

Fitting the motor won't be an issue, motor mounts and headers are available. Just looking for ideas on getting the trans/diff and rear suspension in

A co worker has a 50's Chevy pickup, an s10 (unknown year) and a burnt 04 vette. He wants to put the 50's body on the s10 frame and use everything else from the vette. It didn't occure to him that the corvette trans is part of the diff and the torque tube deal. I suggested finding a t56 from...

From what I've read they should get better mileage than the sho Taurus I currently have and I could definitely use the space, there's not a lot of them out there, some have 150k - 200k miles on them and they're still going. I agree hybrids will be expensive to fix but some of the stuff on my sho...

im considering buying a hybrid Tahoe, anyone had one or experience with one? Thanks

I have a 10' with just over 100k miles on it. Cai and 3 bar tune, I love it, pulls hard. It's a comfortable ride, has all the options I would want, no complaints, no issues.

I spoke to a manager, he apologized and said I could bring it back and they would clean it. I told him I already spent 2 hrs cleaning it. He told me if I wanted to bring it back in a month or two they would detail it no charge. So I guess they're making some effort to make up for it. Still a...

A few weeks ago a tree fell on my wife's sho Taurus while she was driving. It got the hood, windshield, both front fenders, passenger rear door and fender. Took it to the local ford dealer for repair. Insurance covered the $7000 bill, repair turned out nice but the inside was filthy. I know it...

I used to have an 01 L years ago, absolutely loved it. Sadly, I had to sell it due to having kids/buying a house/recession. A couple years ago I picked up anow 02 Harley f150. It's not a lightning but still somewhat unique, fun to drive, same driveline, but has room for the kids. Something to...

Hey guys, I'm starting a new build, there's a local guy selling a 3v 5.4 from an 05 f250. I'd like to use the crank and the block from it. From what i'v read so far it shouldn't be an issue. I thought one of you guys would know more about the 3v. My build includes ported 2v heads, 2.3 whipple...

I'm considering getting some long tubes. Kooks and arh are out of my price range but I'must not looking for the cheapest route either. Obx headers and mid pipes are a decent option, but the only place I can find them is eBay. Many have used pacesetters, but often reported fitment and quality...

Just built motor, First start up yesterday. started up great, ran for 45min in the shop, all different rpms, shut down, checked fluids, road tested, drove for 2 to 3 miles, different rpms and speeds, turned around to head back your the shop, halfway back it started to run a little rough, then...

Hey, my father wants me to put a t56 in his 455ci 76 Trans am, there is a few companies such as American powertrain, Hurst drive lines and silver sport transmissions that offer complete kits. he got a quote from sst, includes absolutely everything. I'very read several good reviews, anyone dealt...
