Ok i have a question. ive seen post but, lots of answers and guesses. my quiestion is..pull a part here in tacoma has a explorer and a mountaineer both with 5.0 motors with the good heads, i can get them really cheap.. 1) will these bolt on to my 88 cougar motor w/o mods?
2) will i have to use the suv exhaust manifolds or can i still use my cougar manifolds?
Hi my xr7 is white, i painted all the emblems gold.. and the grill is gold in the center w. chrome on outside..the dumbass before me painted the snowflakes black....ugggggggggggglllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyy. im gonna strip them and paint centers gold. with polished outer lip.
Wow what a pain in the ass..changed my heater core, on tuesday took all day..had to completely unbolt dash to get heter box out...found it full of insulation and debris...there must have been a little friend living in there, when it was parked for awhile...changed thermostat today..loosened the distributor to set timing but its stucks , wont move..any ideas?
the 351w and the 302 are exact same motor both small blocks, and windsor series except the 351 has a slightly tall deck height.all parts will interchange..yes im fine..lol this isnt my first fox car....last car was a 347 stroker 85 capri....im just not up on this efi stuff, im a old school mechanic, love my carbs lol.
LOL.. doesnt the 5.0 ho camshaft use 351w firing order? i know in the 85 ho stang i had, it was using the 351w firing order because of the cam.. was from a 351 and put into a 302 hence the ho factor.. Dude, what? what does that mean? some kinda new code? lol
Damm; this car is squirrly as hell on wet pavement, posi..tranny has stage 2 shift kit lol..im gonna look for a 5.0 h.o cam to swap out with mine..then ill have to change to 5.7 firing order woo hoo. also found some headers woo hoo..i love fox cars parts are cheap lmao...
hey guys i replaced the tps..it fired right up..lot more reponsive lol...i will check voltage in morn after work.. now i need to find a iac.....and adjust the timing... thnx, shad...
thanx guys yea its weird no cel and it runs ok...im driving it 70 miles a day..im gonna replace the tps and iac on monday...i have every tool needed to work on car..ive been working on cars for over 30 yrs...i just hate efi im more of a carb guy lmao....all my past fox body cars have been carbed lol....+++++i found a complete 88 5.0 mustang motor for 250.00... can you say time to build a performance motor lmao....
lol.. sorry guys...forgot about storm....wouldnt the tps cause lags in throttle? i have no lag...burn the tires on demand....it acts like no gas....but when you floor it it starts right up..its NOT flooding out....i know the iac is bad i have unplugged or it will idle at 2,000 rpm lol...
Hi guys i have a 88 cougar xr7 with 5.0 my prob is when i start it, it just cranks, unless i hold to floor the fires up and runs, its not flooding out. car burns the tires, i know it needs iac valve but that shouldnt make it so i have to floor it to start....no mods all stock...
