I have some nasty key marks down the sides of my car that I would really like to get covered. Just wondering if anybody has any idea of the price for that sort of thing, and whether they would have to paint the whole panel for it to look unnoticeably covered or not.
Scratches are from the badge to just over the rear tire.
And any idea of the cost? I know it can vary alot, but just some ideas please.

My other problem is that I'd like to spice up the appearance a little bit, but I'm not sure what to do. I like people with mustangs that have the hood/side scoops and spoiler painted different colors, but I'm pretty sure it would look akward to paint it a different color on my black mustang. I welcome any suggestions on what I should do as far as scheme and color.

Pictures of black mustangs with some paint jobs would be great to!
I can't seem to find many of those.

he has a cracked head... has for a while now but he has seen my new heads and wants to replace with those

DUH


anyway his dad is telling him to get a Remanned 4.6 for 2700 and that all of the work to swapp the engines can be done in the drive...
no i made a fair argument that the heads are way less work but then again im just a fellow mustanger to his dad and the way he sees it 2700 for the engine as opposed to 4000 for the head swapp with some extra goodies 2700 is way better...

could you fellas help me to convince this father? i imagine after all the other stuff youd have to buy to dropp the engine in it would beclose to the same price

anyway if you have any reasons or have done this and have an aprox cost lemme know and ill be posting numbers once i make it to the dyno

Finally finished it up tonight, and went for a test ride...

JBA Headers: Pain in the ass install. Refer to my previous thread, "Harder Install: Headers or Gears" to read about the headaches the headers have caused me. It was like a nightmare that you can't wake up from. Installing headers on an SN95 Mustang is on my list of Things I'll Never Do Again. Having said that, after you've done 'em once, the next time will be a lot easier after you figure out a few tricks. For the most part, it was a pain in the butt.
Why JBAs? I researched many brands of headers, and couldn't find any single brand that someone didn't complain about. They're headers, they're all gonna suck to install...but there was always someone who had problems, such as fitment issues, rusting, breakage, customer service, etc...with every brand I looked at. For me it came down to price. The JBA's weren't the cheapest, nor were they stupid expensive. Though I read about problems with JBA headers, I did not find any complaints about customer service with JBA. The stupid thing is, the headers were fairly easy compared to the other things you have to do to install them...

Removing the starter sucks ass, I don't care who you are. Some members claim it's easy as anything. Bullsh*t. It sucks, Period. I hate it. It's annoying as hell.

I did not use the supplied bolts for the headers. I reused my OEM manifold studs and nuts because they're still in good shape, and anti-seized all of them. IMO, and from my research, bolts do not do as good a job of securing the headers as studs do.

Removing the oil dipstick without destroying it. Good luck. Buy a Lokar flexible aftermarket one before you try this. The Lokar looks cooler. It's braided steel. Install is easy. Apply motor oil to the O-ring before you try to force it into the block, and it'll pop right in. The problem is that it doesn't mount in the same place as the stock unit. Remove the mount from the Lokar, and throw it in the garbage. Use the bracket that held your AC line in place (the AC line must be re-routed so the headers don't cook it) and bolt it to the block where the original dipstick mount was, to route the Lokar oil dipstick. Easy fix.

The next most difficult thing after that is jacking up the motor. Which isn't that hard at all. 21mm wrench to undo the motor mount, a floor jack, and a block of wood. Even a 1/4" up can make a huge difference on how much your life sucks doing this install.

I used Hi-Temp silicone sealant on my gaskets. Some people think this is heresy. Others think it's the cat's ass. I say if it doesn't leak, then who gives a sh*t. My headers didn't leak on the first fire-up and test run. They initially smoked alot, and smelled funny, but they aren't shooting exhaust all over the place.

I'm S/C'ed, so it's possible I could see more gains than N/A. I noticed some power increase on the bottom end. The exhaust note sounds the same as it did before. I have stock midpipe and no mufflers.

I parked the car in the garage, and I'll retorque the header studs when I have time.

AFR guage: I used an Autometer Phantom AFR gauge, because my boost guage is an Autometer Phantom guage.

The install is easy, and even easier if you have your own welder. The driver's side of the midpipe has plenty of room above the stock O2 sensor location to weld in a bung for your AFR guage. I advise mounting it offset from the O2 bung so you can easily get a wrench on it.

I used a step-up drill bit, because the hole you'll need to make is considerably large. Welding the bung in is...well...welding. Weld it. Or have someone else weld it if you don't have a welder.
Wiring the AFR guage was kinda shitty. Only because the plug for the actual guage is pretty big. It won't fit through any of the holes in your firewall that already exist. You'll have to drill another hole in the firewall with a step-up bit. I mounted mine in a guage pod on the A-pillar.

(sigh) The AFR guage is cool. The digital readout is pretty sweet, but the other readout that goes around the top half of the guage shows amber LEDs for rich, green LEDs for the happy place, and red LEDs for lean. It's like having a fuckin disco ball in your car. The guage has an auto-dim feature that I haven't played with yet. I hope this can eliminate some of the obnoxiousness from it. My girlfriend, who sometimes astounds me with her car-knowledge, told me to wire it to the dimmer switch for my stock guage cluster. I don't think this will work though, because this guage needs constant power. It wont' work if it's only on when the guage lights are powered on. It needs a constant power source.

Cool. Well...I've had a few beers and should probably stop typing. Hope someone finds this informative, useful, or interesting.

Keep in mind this is only my initial impression on these mods. The headers could still set my car on fire or sh*t the bed.

Im not big on modding cars but i heard it also helps your mpg other than your hp. The only mods i have on it is i took out the mufflers and have straight pipes open exhaust.

I do not know when the transmission fluid was last changed. The fluid is redish brown and needs to be changed I think. I'm thinking I should have the filter changed to check for metal and get a better sense of the fluids condition. If things look OK I would then power flush. If not I'll get a normal filter and oil change. Any opinions????? ]]> 4.6L Talk MiltP http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forums/4-6l-talk/205288-high-mileage-gt-change-atf-yes-no.html
