New Project - iCyber Attack - 12-07-2010
Ok what do you guys think I should do? I have a 91' FoxBody Mustang I have been restoring for a a few years and I have invested $6,000+. Whatever the new project I decide to do will also be for my Senior Project. All I can think of is maybe rebuilding the block or putting a t-5 trans in it.
Reasoning for doing those is because:
1. Engine has high miles + running 13ibs boost. "Sorta risky"
2. Currently using AOD with BBk Shift kit + SuperChip shifting times.

You should definitely rebuild the block, but I wouldn't suggest putting in a t-5, IMO. Also, if the engine has high miles on it, then why are you running 13 pounds boost? That will screw up your engine so bad.

Agree with null, rebuilding the block is the best approach
RE: New Project - YeL iR - 12-12-2010
Rebuild it first of all. Also if you drive it quite often, i would atleast lower it down to 8lbs... Thats a pretty safe limit.

Rebuild the block, it needs a lot of work.
