    Brembo 4P/6P & Handling

    I'm using a similar setup to what @DieHarder has. Rock Auto 4 piston calipers, centric blank rotors, and stoptech street performance pads. I saved a couple bucks by using the ford racing Boss 302 brake lines but probably should have just went with stainless. I use ATE Dot 4 brake fluid and...

    Which timing chain tensioner to use?

    Plastic tensioners with fel-pro seals is what I am running. Ditch the thin stock seals on the plastic ones and use these: https://www.felpro.com/technical/tecblogs/solving-ford-timing-chain-tensioner-gasket-issues.html

    FRPP Intake manifold - What is it made of?

    Scuff it and use adhesion promoter. I painted my stock composite intake Gunmetal grey and it has held up for over 5 years.

    Driving Without New Tune

    For the time it takes to swap the MAF and TB, why not drive it there with the current parts and swap them in the parking lot? Better than having it stall out in traffic or having whacked out driveability with the different throttle body.

    Exhaust leak after shorty header install

    I'd check to make sure the noise isn't coming from the phasers before tearing it apart again. I just went back and listened to the video and it sounds like the phaser tick that I had in a 2004 F150 5.4 work truck. It always went away after tunning for about that amount of time. Grab a piece...

    Mustang Pricing!

    Buying any truck for that matter sucks right now. I had to get a truck for a new job and did not have cash. Anything used cost just as much per month as a new F150 with used car finance rates right now. $1000 Cdn per month gets a 2022 302A XLT F150 or a 2018 version of the same truck with...

    Exhaust leak after shorty header install

    Can you feel where it is pulsing from? I had a similar noise, it ended up being between the connection of my exhaust manifold and the Y-pipe for my turbo. It only lasted 30 seconds or so as the Y-pipe heated up and closed the gap.

    Used google to find the thread since the search function is now useless https://www.s197forum.com/threads/s550-seats-in-s197.131662/

    S550 seats in s197

    Used to be in the DIY section. It took a fairly minor adaptation to the front mounts to make them fit.

    2010 GT Transmission

    TR6060 is an easy swap, a 26 spline clutch disc, the cross member, the transmission, and shifter are the parts you really need. The driveshaft is a slight bit different but there are a few people who have just bolted up the stock shaft and had zero issues. As durable as the 3650 is, the...

    Which head gaskets?

    Measure them. I used them with 3.572" bore diamond pistons 0.020" as thousands of others have. I have 2 sets still sitting on my wall and the bore measures around 3.63" on all 4 of them.

    Which head gaskets?

    Stock head gasket bore is close to 3.63" so an 0.020" overbore is not an issue. The ford ones from the ford racing head changing kit is still the best deal.

    Broken rocker arm/follower

    Any big chunks would be caught by the oil pump pickup screen so other than some smaller stuff messing up the inside of the oil pump, there is not too much to worry about. Good opportunity to step up to the better melling high volume pump. The next thing to look for would be scoring of the...

    Clutch recommendations

    Add me into the Mach 500 fan club. Pair it with the lightened steel flywheel and it will take abuse all day.
