    Srt? Z06? Ls1?

    How is it that an SVT based site seems to have become a clearinghouse for SRT-4, SRT-10, Camaro, Corvette, Supra, etc. videos, discussions and debates? I don't have any statistics, but I would venture a guess that there is more non-SVT posing on this forum than SVT-specific. What's up with...

    AN Fitting Specs

    I know it seems like the AN sizing would make these things standard, but it doesn't. Does anybody have any references to braided hose and fitting/hose end specs? What I'm after (for -6, -8 and -10) is the ID for a give AN size for different brands of SS braided hose, the ID of the hose...

    Value of Stock Seats

    What do you think the street value of the stock 60/40 seats would be? No tears or burns - out of an 02 with 38K on the ticker. I am contemplating something, but I wanted to gauge if it would be worthwhile or not. Thanks, Herb

    Fuel Rail Adapters

    Does anybody know if the fuel rail fittings (stock rail) on the L are the same size at the Mustangs'? I other words - if I buy the 5.0 style rail adapters, can they be plugged into the L fuel rail to allow aftermarket lines with AN fittings to be used? Also - any ideas on adapting the stock...

    Need some Bassani parts

    Hey All, I'm trying to get things lined up to get the L back together again. I bought a full exhaust (Dynatech LTs, high-flows and Bassani X-pipe and catback) second hand, but it did not come with the hangers or mounting brackets. I've got the pipe-side of things (welded to the pipes)...

    Cutting Coils

    I've been toying with the idea of using some stock pull-offs from my son's truck to get the front end of the L down. I was surprised by how close the spring were to each other! Here's the real data. I pulled the front suspension apart this weekend for some other work, so here is the...

    solid lifters / finger followers?

    Anybody have a line on a pair of solid finger followers for purchase or loan? I'm looking for solid ones to degree in my new cams, but I have no clue as to when I can sources something like that. The stock ones are hydraulic, so with no oil pressure, they will collapse rather than move the...

    Anybody happen to have any spare Expy console floor brackets kicking around? I've got the ones on the console core, but I did not get the matching floor mounted ones, front or rear. The freakin dealership wants more than I paid for the console for those two metal plates that are going to be...

    Front Coil Question

    Caliper Color on True Blue?

    What do you guys think? I like the Red caliper mod with the stickers, but my L is True Blue and I'm not sure how that would look. Silver is too blah with the stock wheels. Black - why bother, you can't see it White - NOPE Yellow - No F'in way! Blue might be OK, but the color could...
