The engine has a cobra intake, stock heads, stock cam, stock bottom end. I havnt done a compression test on it, but there is no noticable smoke coming out the back other than a puff when shifting at high rpm’s.
It sounds like it may be worth a try with a 3/8 NPT/ Hose fitting, tapped into a...
I havnt tried another PCV valve, which would you recommend?
I think the PCV valve would be closed at WOT, so with the crankcase pressure at its highest it needs to be relieved through the valve cover vent(s).
One vent may not be enough, thats my reason for adding a secondary vent on the...
Thanks for the input. I live in CA where i know a breather wont pass the visual.
I want to know if there will be any issues in running dual vents to the throttle body in my fuel injected setup. Im looking at drilling and tapping a 3/8 in NPT barb on the driver side valve cover.
Hi everyone,
Car is a 89 5.0 LX with a T5 and 168,000 miles. There is a Steeda firewall catch can installed from the rear PCV then back to the upper intake on the rear.
Ive been searching the internet for days now and have yet to find anyone who has tried or questioned this.
Basically i...
Sorry to hear that Mustang5L5!
I actually stumbled on this video on youtube recently and it looks like theres a lot of good candidates.

Hi SVTP Forum!
I recently tried to realign my hatchback to body at the hinges because there was such a large gap that was allowing air to come in from outside along the weatherstripping.
Long story short, im wondering if there was a source for foxbody rear hatch glass with defroster lines...
I've been looking at 1999 cobra rims for the fox, apparently it already comes with 30mm offset, so thats awesome.
Did a quick mock up and this is what it could look like
Now i just need to find a set i can buy in good condition
I might just go with the 03 04 cobra rims as a tribute to the IRS setup underneath, but we'll see.
Would you say it's worth the work and have you noticed any major benefits since then ?
I'm currently deciding on whether an 04 cobra IRS will be able to fit 17x9, 24mm offset and 5.94in backspacing into a foxbody mustang. The rim has Nitto 275's

I've been looking at the 5 lug pony's to work with the IRS setup,
Will the 17x9 24mm offset and 5.94 backspacing and 275/40 work as is with the irs fox as a direct bolt on?

Just had the controller and fan in my car for a good few months now
So far it's working great in terms of cooling my fox. I have a 195* thermostat and set the controller to turn on at around that temperature. According to the dash guage (however accurate its is) it usually goes up to the 2 1/2...
Hey SVTP,
I've gotten around to picking up a 1997 mark viii electric fan recently and now i'm in the market for a new fan controller
I've narrowed it down to the FK45 from DCControl but still have a few questions that the owner still hasnt gotten back to me with.
I was hoping someone on...
Since its been raining in CA lately, what's the biggest size windshield wiper i can use on my fox for a simple swap.
The factory 16 incher's seem like they have room to grow
I recently (a few hours ago) finished a valve lash adjustment on my 1989 Mustang LX. All the mods to the engine are a 1993 Cobra intake (upper/lower). The heads, rocker arms, pushrods, lifters etc are all stock. I decided to tighten the valve train up after hearing some ticking at idle when...
HEY SVTP,
So during these colder winter nights, the inside of my car gets pretty fogged up and as a result leaves the rear windows almost impossible to see out of. I checked the contact points AND the defroster lines but they all look to be intact and not corroded. The car was never tinted.
I...
Hey SVTP,
I have a 1989 LX with 4 lug right now any my tires have seen better days. I have the stock 10 hole 225's all around so i figured its time for an upgrade. I may want to swap to a cobra IRS Front/ Rear caliper setup in the future though.
What i want is the stock looking 4 lug pony...
Alright guys, so i have 118k miles on my 89 5.0 and it sounds like my pilot/ throwout bearing took a dump. So i've been contemplating on which clutch to get and i was hoping you had some first hand experience with my options

Okay, so this has started happening recently and I am now confused. I am starting to hear this (for lack of simpler word) farting noise coming from the engine bay after i turn off the car. I had a buddy of mines shut off the engine while I try to pinpoint the location and i figured out where it...
