Where can you have them made?

i wonder if a mach 1 scoop would look good on it.

I've got dual 2.5" to a single 2.5" and a single magnaflow muffler on my V8Z, at idle it is as quiet as our stock mustang.

Well thats good to hear, I wasnt looking forward to taking the whole dash out. Thanks.

I have a book telling my how to get the tach out, but it says to push it out from the inside. The problem is that there is a dash cap in the way. Do I have to take the whole dash out?

I just did a V8 convertion following the JTR directions, I wired up the fan with a relay and switch. When the fan and the headlights are on at the same time the turnsignals dont work unless the engine is above 2 or 3k rpm. Anybody have any clue why this is.

My freind just bought an 84 300ZX and wants to put in a tubo engine, im sure its bolt in, but does the wiring interchange? Also what do turbo engines for the Z31 go for. I just did a V8 swap into a 75 z so I know what I'm doing and I have the tools, but how much work do you think it would be. Another thing is if he doesnt go that route i have a 5 speed that I took out of my 75, would it bolt up the the VG in the 84 or should I just go find a later tranny.

Haha, yep. The ported heads and LT4 hot cam are going in the weekend i pick it up. Once a car guy, always a car guy.

I just wanted to say thanks for all the information you guys put up on this site, it helped me out a lot and without it im sure i couldn't ever have done it. Im selling the Z, it was fun, but i got an offer for a 97 firebird formula with an LT1 from a family freind and my little brother needs the garage space for his 65 mustang. Another thing i learned is that if you're even thinking about doing this swap seriously look in to buying one thats already done, im losing a bunch of money on it, but thats how it goes . I did it for the learning experience, I got the Z when i turned 16 and hadn't ever even changed oil before. With help from you guys, the jags that run book and a couple freinds i did it. Im selling it to a freind so i get to see him dump rediculous amounts of money into it now. So anyways, thanks.

It was kept below 80 on an empty freeway on ramp, not realy a big deal.

I know i havnt posted here much but I just have to say ,its been a good day. I drove my Z around today for the first time. I've driven it around the block before, but today I started driving it on a regular basis. So what does a 17 year old with a 300hp car that weighs as much as a honda civic do on his first day of driving it? Well, first I took it on the freeway with my freind in his 4th gen V6 camaro following me, he didnt even have a chance. Then I followed my brother in our 01 mustang GT, again, not even close. Not to mention I tore down a ford 302 for my brothers 66 mustang project. Very good day. I love this car.

Are you talking about my school parking lot? None, one of them is actually the only car that keep up with my Z. Last year a girl had a 66 fastback but she graduated.

The supercharged 4.6 DOHC in the 03 cobras had bullitproof internals. The other DOHC 4.6s arent as strong, but they are stronger then the SOHC engines. This swap would be great if it was in japan, its hard to get parts for ford V8s there im sure, but from a performance standpoint its not the best idea in the US. I guess it will make all of the F&F target adiance happy. What would have it cost to build up a 351 with a twin turbo setup. The exausht is a shame though. Its a beautiful car, I have to give them that.

You guys can bash on the new mustang all you want, but you all know in the end of the day it will outsell all of its competiors combined 10 to 1. Thats all that matters to Ford. They dont car if their car can beat a subaru STi or Mitsu EVO around a road course or at the drag strip. The SRT-4 was a great car, but its a neon, there isnt one at my high school because of that. There is one subaru STi, no EVOs, no 350Zs, no RX8s, ect. There are 8 20005 mustangs, fords doing somthing right

Alright, I went to another shop today, the guy wanted $600 again, but seemed like he new what he was doing. It was 2.5" to a Y with a 3" resonator and a magnaflow mufller in the stock location. Its all mandrel bent and he said it will "stay this color" so i guess this means it was stainless. They had a really nice 32 ford in the shop with a buick V6 with a huge blower on it and a couple of turbocharged VW sand rails so i guess they knew what they were doing. He said he could get down to $500 without the resonator, what does a resonator do?
