  1. Do NOT buy from ikon motorsports

    I used all Ford 350 parts, including the hood hinges. Someone who has a 350 put a 500 hood on his car. It required a lot of rework, around the door/fender/hood area and around the lights. The Ford 350 Hood on the Ford 350 Fenders sits up a bit in the middle. There is a lot of adjustability...
  2. The Coyote Swapped ZR-1

    They've already done an LS Swap in the DeLorean. Time for a Coyote in a DeLorean!

  4. GT350 Brembo Ugrade for 22 GT 10r80

    OK! I'm finally up to speed. Thanks DJ for helping me get that clear.
  5. GT350 Brembo Ugrade for 22 GT 10r80

    Sorry Phil, but looking at DJ's Profile Car Photo. Says he has a '22 GT. I should have replied to him rather than general comment.
  6. GT350 Brembo Ugrade for 22 GT 10r80

    Are those the wheels you are using, in the photo of your car? Are they Ford? Standard GT Wheels will not clear the Calipers on the Rear. The Rear Knuckle pushes the wheels out 1/2 inch due to the Shoe Brake. Another Quarter Inch also, from the spacer needed to clear the Calipers. If you use...
  7. Mustang highbeams and cruze control inactive/not working at all

    Do your Brake Lights Shut Off? Similar thing happens when Brake Pedal Switch Bumper breaks or falls apart. If a Manual Trans, does it have a Clutch Switch Bumper too?
  8. 5.2 xs swap into gen 2 car

    Did you use the Cobrajet Intake or Install the 350 Intake Manifold from the Performance Pack 3? What kind of mileage are you getting? Thanks!
  9. Installing new magnetic paddle shifters - tips, photos, DIY how-to instructions

    I wanted to go with the GT500 Paddles, but they were Magnesium and cost around $6-800 from Ford Parts. Sort of like how the GTD Paddles are so Expensive Now.
  10. Water Leak Passenger Side Floor

    Also check your roof rail, where it is bonded to the window arch. Mine had a quarter inch hole that escaped Quality Control.
  11. Those of you running 19x9.5 in the front and 19x10 in the rear…

    9 1/2" 255R40 19 Front - 10" 275R40 19 Rear on the Darkhorse Base. Same as GT Performance Pack Tires on 9" Front - 9 1/2" Rear, which is what I have. Rims on the Darkhorse Rear and GT Rear have a 52.8mm offset, which pushes the 10" wheel out 1/4" more in the wheel well. Also 1/4" more Tire on...
  12. GT350 LE...you don't see this every day!

    At least I got over 100mph at the Yard of Bricks! I figured that even in the 1920's, in their old rickety cars, they were doing 100.
  13. GT350 LE...you don't see this every day!

    Back in 2016 at the MCA's 40th Anniversary, after I had just installed the 350 front end, I drove 5 of the 7 sessions at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. I quit the last two because I didn't want to wear out the Brakes and Tires. Couldn't afford replacements at the time. Unfortunately, we ran the...
