    2004R manual shifting question

    Just to get some info on the table, I have a "Stage 3" Jimmybuilt transmission. The engine is a 406 with an Accel Pro Ram single plane EFI ran by an Accel Gen 7 system. I want to manually shift the car at 6300 but its giving me some problems. In regards to WOT, what controls when the 2004R...

    Ford 9 inch yoke ?

    I'm helping a friend of mine install a Ford 9 inch rear in his 87 GN. We got the rear bolted in last night, and with the Strange U1603 pinion yoke, the driveshaft is riding exactly 1.5 inches further back than with the 8.5. (Not in far enough) Just for reference, the car still uses a 2004-R...

    Just bought 85 GN

    A bad turbo is a minor thing? I obviuosly ran the car up the road to see what I was dealing with. Like make sure the tranny shifts good, and the rear end is fine. Its not like I am out cruising this car, I just needed to see how it worked. So bolting a possibly bad turbo onto a fresh motor wont...

    Just bought 85 GN

    Hi, my car is a hardtop. My main concern is not the knock, because the motor is coming out and getting rebuilt. My major concern is why it is running bad and smoking. I took the car around the block to make sure everything else worked and a few times I floored it and it just stuttered and barely...

    Just bought 85 GN

    Hi guys, I just bought an 85 GN that needs some work. I knew the guy I bought it from, and he parked it when it got a serious rod knock. The car has only 79000 miles on it. The car sat for a good 2 years now and when I went to start it, it fired right up and had a bad rod knock, but also smoked...
