    Who are some good engine builders in So Cal?

    I am giving up on doing an 03 motor in my old 60 Ford. I am thinking about a stroked 460. Who do you guys like for engine builders? I know Maoun likes B&D so I will call them. I hear mixed results on Coast so I will pass on them. Any others?

    Will a C6 transmission bolt up to an 03 engine?

    I'm trying to figure out what engine to put in my old 60 Ford. I thought an 03 Cobra engine would look pretty cool. I'm trying to figure out if a c6 tranny would bolt up to it. I would prefer to keep an auto tranny in car. Anyone know?

    quick question- What fuse do I pull to do a compression test?

    I have a guy here checking out my car right now to buy and he brought a compression test kit. He said you usually pull the ECU fuse so that the car won't start when doing the test. Any help?

    Do you have to pull engine to do head replacement?

    For the TSB on the head replacement, do you have to pull the engine to replace the head? I was talking to a mechanic buddy of mine and he said on any 99-up Mustang he has worked on he had to pull the engine on a modular engine set up. He never worked on an 03 Cobra though.

    I may put some Catz HID lights in, anyone done this yet?

    An 01 Cobra owner I know bought a set of Catz HID lights for his Cobra. He didn't like all the boxes and wires so he never installed them. He ended up adding the Hella HID lights. The only problem is the Hella lights have no high/low beams just low. It will definitely be tight finding...

    Ford won't sell me a bolt for my supercharger

    I noticed on my engine that it doesn't come with a bolt in the center of pulley but a plastic push pin. The earlier builds had them but they must have discontinued adding the bolt. I went to dealer to buy one so I could install it for peace of mind. They said the part had a special code that...

    Changed out pulley- what's up with my boost gauge?

    I put on a 2.80 pulley today. I am trying to baby it until I can get it to dyno and tuned with chip. I opened it once because boost gauge seemed to not be working. Boost gauge doesn't seem to work unless I am hitting 5k RPMS. Even then, it seems to drop right back down. It would go up...

    Were the MM IRS bushings supposed to make a difference?

    I was hoping for a 90% improvement (wishfull thinking) and got more of a 10% improvement. Still get big wheel hop but the car was moving quicker similar to a rock skipping accross the water.

    Any interest on a group purchase on these pulley covers?

    I thought these were kinda cool. Classic Design Concepts is coming out with these Snake logo pulley covers. They aren't available yet. Website says $195 for brushed aluminum. They said they may just offer them raw and unfinished for $155. We could probably get a discount off of that if 10...

    The dealer just put a new engine in my 03. The new engine comes with a new clutch and flywheel. I got the car back today and the clutch pedal is easy to push in. My old clutch pedal took a lumberjack leg to push in. What gives?
