Poor quality parts and unwillingness to stand behind them, from what I remember. This was back when the S197 was brand new. We're like elephants here; we never forget (and probably don't forgive, either).

It would be cool if they did one special edition every few years. Started with the GT500, then the Bullitt, then the GT350, now the Mach 1 and GT500. We need BOSS to make a comeback with the new 7.3L. :)

I didn't remove the armrest or anything. I think to do it right and avoid a big mess, I have to basically disassemble the inside of the door. One of these days...maybe.

So other than wanting to change up the look, is it necessary to order a new insert? Like you said, I re-glued the originals, only to have it last about a year.

This has been at the back of my mind for a while, too. I still drive it a lot, but it needs a better tune (I think). I ordered some stuff so I can datalog and I'm going to see if Lito can get it running good. If so, I think it'll give me incentive to keep it and get more enjoyment out of it, and...

There's a pic floating around of a yellow Bronco's engine bay. It has the 2.3L and it looks super cramped. I can't see any way of getting the Coyote in there, and I don't think it's necessary. With a simple tune, that 2.7L will blow the Coyote away. I also don't think reliability is a reason for...

Well hell, I went to a dealer a while back and they vacillated on it. "We could, maybe, possibly, but we don't know, and we'll charge you $150 just to hook up our tool..." I left without having it done. I'll have to check out this Forscan thing. Thanks, TJM.

We've been waiting way too long for this! Does Ford just not know how to make a new vehicle, or have there been so many delays so they can get it right? Sad thing is, it's about equal odds of either. Anyway, if this thing has the goods, it'll likely be a replacement for my 2006 F-150 SCREW a...

That extra PPM of zinc is going to be catastrophic!

I guess, if your intention is to not have traction.

That's a good idea. I was thinking of buying one, boring it, and then re-tapping with the proper tap, but that seems a cheaper, faster alternative.

What are you guys doing for shift boot retainers? I cannot find any retainers in the size M12x1.75 which is what the shifter is. I'm about to buy some crappy Chinese piece that uses a set screw, but I don't want to...

Given what they've done with the Coyote as far as revving and power, I'd rather have it than the Voodoo.

I think it all depends on the gearing to have fun on the street. The T-56 Magnum XL has pretty tall gearing, so I can only really use up to 2nd gear before I get into trouble with speed, but with the stock gearing, I'd just be blowing the tires off all the time. Honestly, a small car with...
