How different is the new 6.2L "Boss" from the truck 6.2? Are they the same motor? How different is it from the Coyote? Looks like the heads are very different (Coyote has 4 valves per cyl, right?) but other than that? Are the blocks similar enough to put Coyote heads on a Boss block? I don't know if they're as lego as the LSx stuff is. e: Googling seems to answer all my questions, derp. Looks like it's all the same motor, and the 6.2 has a bigger bore spacing. Is anyone excited about the 6.2 at all? Or is there no point when the 5.0 is around? Raluek fucked around with this message at 05:52 on Jan 5, 2011 |

kimbo305 posted:Isn't bore spacing one of the things that isn't changed in an engine family? Or rather, a practical limit of tooling used to make a variety of engines My googling led me to http://media.ford.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=31019 which said "Core to the improvements is the adoption of an all-new engine architecture, with increased bore spacing, that allows better engine “breathing” in both the intake and exhaust for more power and more overall efficiency."

That's too bad, I was really hoping it would just be a bigger displacement coyote, since they were both engineered around the same time.

kronix posted:...the IRS is the biggest improvement that Ford can make for the every day customer. So how exactly is this? They're durable and cheap and work fine for most driving, so how's an IRS gonna change anything for the "every day customer"? I don't mean to white knight, I've never driven a RWD car with IRS. I'm honestly wondering what it will change in everyday driving. Seems like from posts in this thread that their current implementation has some shimmy, but changing around their members should clear that right up. That particular thing is due to their particular implementation, not due to having a solid rear in general.

Didn't (as someone pointed out earlier in the thread) the first mustang come out in 1964 as a 1965 model year? Wouldn't that make MY2015 the 50th?

His is a '67 too, and that one pictured is a '68, as far as I can tell. It has those corner marker lights, I don't think the '67 did.

Is the TR-6060 (or whatever they're using now) the same as the T-56, where you can just unplug and remove the skip-shift solenoid and install a block-off bolt, then stick a resistor in its connector and tape it off?

Haha, christ, that ad. To me, it reads like: "Weather happened, and then my Mustang got totalled somehow! Anyway, I'll be profiting from this experience, but just so it doesn't happen again, I better get something with 4WD! Oh, and just so I don't have to bother with renting or borrowing a car, just bring down your proposition so that I might grace it with my judgement."

Really? I have rented cars before I turned 25. The only thing that was a pain was trying to get a pickup truck, for some reason. Doesn't seem too bad to ask a friend for a ride to go look at a car. I've been that ride guy before, get to look at neat stuff and it's not even my money that gets spent! win-win.

For that price you might as well get a decent aftermarket wheel; you'd get the added advantage of it not looking like an F150 wheel too.

kalvick posted:out of curiosity, what wheels would you recommend that dont look totally aftermarket and could possibly look like it came stock on the car? I dunno, my taste is kind of suspect because I really don't mind the plainer Grant wheels. As far as nicer wheels there's the usual like the Nardi Competition or the Momo of your choice or whatever. But they don't look stockish, so I guess if that's something to shoot for then I don't really have a suggestion. I don't think a slightly racy wheel looks too out of place in a pony car, though

kalvick posted:did you try pushing the schrader valve? did gas come out? or hiss or anything? its looks like a little bicycle tire plug where you would hook up a bike pump, you can press it down with your finger. I'm having trouble parsing your post. You don't need fuel to turn over, you need it to run once it's turning. The battery not supplying enough power to the alternator? Do you mean for excitation? That would lead to the battery not charging, but not these symptoms. If the starter is giving you a bunch of rapid clicks, that's from not having enough current to operate the starter all the way. It's got nothing to do with the alternator, or the fuel system. In my car (which is not a Ford, admittedly) it's due to a crappy battery terminal that I need to wiggle every so often. Since Ford uses an external solenoid for starting, maybe something is going on there if the wiring is all good. I have no idea why sitting with the key "on" for a bit would cause it to work.

Front was all dolled up in full Holden garb, but the trunk lid said "SS". My first thought was G8 GT, but it looked too new for that, and the trunk emblem suggested otherwise.
