Over the years, we have seen many FRPP posts, and various successes at 16-21 psi or so. There were a couple posts I’ve seen with some blown-out gaskets, but unsure if they were earlier models that ballooned a bit. From what I understand, the revised version were reinforced and should not have...

Shooting for 1000hp...and higher eventually, but have a dilemma as an ear broke on my block that the trans bell-housing mounts up to. It’s the hole next to the starter, and the opposite side needs to be fixed as well since the bolt broke off in it. I believe this is 70/30 mix, and I don’t want...

I was just about to move forward with building my block at 9.3:1 in hopes of hitting 1000hp, but this FRPP 5.3L short block (M-6009-B53) is tempting. The problem it is 10.5:1 with 3v heads. https://www.americanmuscle.com/ford-performance-53l-modular-stroker-shortblock.html Anyone had good...

I know there are many fans of the cobra cranks, and for good reason, however unless you land a shiny new or barely used one, is it really worth the headache for a high horsepower build? Based on what I’ve read, to handle high hp (~1000), they should be professionally heat treated...

I bought a leveler with brackets for the picker, but realized after reading other forum posts, it is for pulling it without the transmission. Additionally, I’ve been cautioned to never lift by the heads, and to ensure the bolts are in the block instead. Since I would like to pull it with the...

After talking with shops and hit with steep prices for building the short block to hold 20+ psi, the best deal I’ve found is around $5500. Based on that, I’ve been considering short blocks, like the Ford M-6009-B53...

Well all, it has been a long time (read 'years') in the works and I'm happy to say we broke ground yesterday. I'm in for a long haul, but one step at a time, right? I've been taking a ton of photos to help when putting it back together, so I'll spare you a good chunk of it. Full Flickr Album...

:helpme: Just got off the phone with my local engine builder is quite renown in NY, and he decided he wasn't going to do it because he is getting out of boosted applications completely! Apparently too many tuners are blowing them and blaming him. That's a shame. I had only budgeted for local...

Due to bad reputation, I'll move past :ryu: MMR TSS seems to be a go to, but is anyone running Boundary OPG's in there high HP 3V? It's quite a savings.

Hello all, I'm getting my build going finally as I had some bummer hold-ups from the shop it was at, back when I bought the S&H Performance single turbo stealth kit in May of 2015. Everything sat in a box, and Comp Turbo drop-shipped the turbo. Now that I have opened everything up and checking...

After reading reviews and posts about prothane, bmr, steeds, and upr mounts, prothane seem to be a favorite, however there is mention that they "may" cause the motor to sit higher. Since they aren't adjustable, does anyone know if this would this be problematic with a steeda strut tower brace...

I just ordered a "new" Tial Q BOV from AmericanMuscle.com, but they sent me a used one, and it's even missing the flange. Right on the box it said "this item has been inspected". Aside from that disappointment, it was their last one in stock. I may return it anyway, as who knows what's up with...

New in the box. I opened the box to take the photo. Only selling because I bought this first, and then bought the RXT clutch with the exact same flywheel included. Only $220 and I paid $280.

eBay is flooded with cheap parts that are cross-labeled, so I tried LKQ. https://www.lkqonline.com/2007/Ford/Mustang/Interior-Interior-Rear-View-Mirror/ ...but it comes up with homelink, compass, and temp. I thought that compass and auto-dim were the only options. Can anyone verify if you...

I'm finally about to start the build. I had a labor sponsor that didn't work out due to his schedule, so I have it all back and about to give it a go with some local friendly help. I'm going to have the motor build though, so trying to find what my compression should be for a goal of 850rwhp...

My build was held up for various reasons, but now I'll be going at it shortly. Can you please take a look at the attached PDF and let me know if there is anything I am overlooking aside from suspension? Thanks.

Which Budget Wheels for Big Brake Kits This post was originally "AM Bullitt Wheels won't work with big brake kits". I have now updated it because my wheel options have narrowed, as the American Muscle wheels I liked do not work with big brake kits. I do not yet have an aftermarket brake...

Would I be doing myself a big favor by getting the intake since it breathes better, or is it negligible under boost? There has been a lot of talk about it flexing, but oddness aside, my only concern is if it would negatively affect a turbo system's efficiency or behavior. I have everything...

In short, can the 2016 seats be retrofitted to work with the s197 (2007 in my case) mounts, wiring, and airbags? Alternatively, can the foam and covers be placed on the s197 seat frames? The long: I am looking for nice leather seats, but have been surprised with how many wrinkly poor cover...

Good day all. I found on this thread that the American Muscle Bullitt wheels, even though they look awesome, may be cheap Chinese-made wheels. Please note, I absolutely love American Muscle and bought WAAY too much stuff from them. :clap:, but I am just trying to find out if this purchase...

I've read several threads about some swaps, airbag fix, etc. It sounds like since the Recaro seats are manual anyway, and as long as you have the mount, you can take it from any year and fit it in the early 5th gen. (2007 in my case). Is that correct? I am thinking of hitting up some junkyards...

Hey everyone. First, this has been a huge learning experience, so I appreciate how patient everyone has been with me and for this forum resource. It is fantastic. I am in a jam at this point, as communicating via email is sometimes a risk where context can be mixed or conveyed incorrectly...

Is there a guide on how to repair a disconnected decline lever cable? I have never removed a seat, and my boy accidentally kicked the back of the seat and either broke or disconnected the cable.

I always thought a wider patch was better, given the compound and other characteristics were comparable or better. Then I came across an article from tunneruniversity.com (not sure if this is a personal blog not worth its salt), but here is a quote: The thinner wheels will therefore be better...

The engine has about 48k miles on it, and we have not yet opened it up to see if I need new phasers or not. If I don't and can just get the lockouts, should I go with a full lockout or with a limiter as seen here...
