    Ford 460 motor swap

    There's a few 385 series BBF swapped S197s out there. The one I know the most about retained basically none of the original electrical system. Be aware that even if you don't currently need an inspection to get the car plated after this swap, it will not be street legal by the letter of the law...

    SUPER SNAKE!

    I wasn't saying any of those cars are direct competition for this Shelby, just something else someone with $200k burning a hole in their pocket could choose. They all give up HP to the Super Snake in exchange for something else. It was more just an observation that there's nothing there that...

    SUPER SNAKE!

    Figuring these will start in the $150k range (2023s started at $140k+), I went "shopping" with $200k I don't have. I assumed there would be multiple cars that are blatantly better choices for that kind of coin but discovered I really don't want any of them. You aren't getting anywhere near a 911...

    19" wheel width

    IIRC the only 19x9s were the Brembo package wheels and the fronts on Boss 302s (which got 19x10 rears). GT500s got 9.5 wides all around and all other 19s were 8.5 wide. If you really want to make sure, that info is cast or stamped on the back side of the vast majority of wheels.

    Magnum 500 Wheels

    The GT came with bigger front brakes than the V6. The OEM 16" base wheels will not clear the GT brakes. Can't say with 100% certainty that any particular aftermarket 16" won't clear but I'd bet the vast majority won't.

    05-09 GT power steering reservoir relocating help

    Download the install instructions for a Vortech/Paxton supercharger. The reservoir gets relocated to the passenger side with simple brackets that could be made by anybody with a drill and an angle grinder.

    Fuel pump issue

    I just replaced it with submersible rubber fuel line. Carved some barbs into the plastic bits the hose connects to and used stepless clamps to secure it. You have to be careful where the hose wants to sit as it could interfere with the fuel level floats. Probably best to use a few brass 90°...

    Fuel pump issue

    Had the same issue last year. Crossover tube had a leak in it so once the fuel level got below the tube, it just sucked air. I couldn't find the leak but replaced the tube and no more running out of fuel with the gauge showing 1/4 tank.

    07 to 14 Coyote swap

    HIDs were available on the later pre facelift S197s ('09 for sure and I think '08 as well) the housings are pricey but installing those is an option if you want to avoid non-OEM looking wiring modifications.

    Rear Springs 1" Lower

    Huh? The top coil is flattened (nearly perpendicular to the axis of the windings) and is almost 1-1/2" smaller in diameter than the 2nd coil. If you cut from the top, I don't see how it's going to seat in the strut mount properly. The bottom coil is the same diameter as the one above it and...

    Rear Springs 1" Lower

    Front springs on these cars are tapered and flattened at the top (the end being held up by the jack stand in the photo) but can be cut without altering how they seat on the strut end.

    Rear Springs 1" Lower

    I'll go against the grain and say cutting coil springs FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAKING SMALL ADJUSTMENTS to the front ride height is fine. Yes, it reduces suspension travel... so do lowering springs. If we're talking about 1/4" or less, that can be compensated for in the bump stops. Coil springs...

    2010 sway bars

    Do you have the track pack? If so, the sway bars are already GT500 pieces and probably not worth upgrading unless you want adjustable bars to fine tune cornering balance. I picked up a used Steeda adjustable front bar and paired it with a stock GT500 rear bar and poly bushings. I have the front...
