    Are the heater cores the same throughout all years?

    I've been looking for the Motorcraft part number for the heater core for a Gen 2 Mark VIII. I might be helping someone change one out soon and I'm trying to find him the best deal on the parts. It's been awhile, but I remember the last time I did a heater core, the parts store pieces were...

    Anyone interested in rear Cobra brake relocation brackets?

    Like the title says.... Anyone interested? Now that I've found a pretty good waterjetter, and finally have my own TIG welder, I was thinking about maybe making/selling the rear relocation brackets. I asked about these on LVC and have had some decent interest. Wanted to ask here as well...

    Stainless Steel Rear Shock Mounts

    Alright guys, it's finally that time again. I'm putting together another run of 10 sets of these. Depending on how quickly they sell, I might think about doing another run of them shortly thereafter, and try to keep them in stock for the random people that ask about them every once in a while...

    FS: Mark VIII - TRW Upper Control Arms

    I recently got rid of my 97 Mark VIII, so here are some parts I salvaged from it: TRW Upper control arms. Used, with about 35k miles. These things still look very close to new. TRW's are what Ford used on these cars from the factory, and typically last about 100k miles. If you're unfamiliar...

    Engine mount lessons learned

    I'm going to be replacing the engine mounts on a friend's car tomorrow and wanted to see if any of you guys had any "lessons learned" from doing this? I'll be using an engine support bar to hold the weight of the engine and/or lift it up some, if needed. I know some have needed to shorten the...

    This is a brand new in the box Motorcraft DY967 Throttle Position Sensor. I know they fit Mark VIII's, but they'll also fit a whole bunch of other Ford vehicles as well. I bought this one to replace the one on my 98 and then realized that I had already bought one a while ago, and never...

    Retarded Timing....

    This is on my black 98. I've noticed for a while that I'm losing power in the top end. It's still pretty quick, but I can tell it's not putting out what it should be. I hooked up the Xcal2 with the SCT live link datalogging software, and from what I can tell, it's retarding timing when I get...

    Thinking about getting another 8...(Sorry for the novel!)

    ....except this one will be a G8 GT (Pontiac). :D So. I've got a wife and a 13 month-old kid. My daughter hasn't ever been in either of my Mark VIII's in her entire 13 month life span. My wife hasn't ridden in either of my Mark VIII's in at least 2 years. In the last 5 years, I could...

    FS: OEM painted 10-spokes wheels - Mark VIII

    These are the painted 10-spoke wheels that came stock on my 97 Mark VIII. I pulled them off about 2 years ago and they've been taking up space in my garage ever since. I'd really like to get rid of them. They're in pretty good shape. They held air and don't seem to have any bends or dents on...

    Brembo teaser...

    So, I've had these 2000 Cobra R Brembo calipers for my 98 LSC for a few months now, but have had so much crap going on lately that I haven't even been able drive the 98, let alone work on it. I had a little bit of time today, so I took the chance to fit them up on the car, just to make sure...

    FS: Timken Axle Shaft Bearings - BNIB

    These were mis-labeled from the website I bought them from. They were labeled as wheel bearings, but they're actually axle shaft bearings (at the differential). I bought 4 of them, 2 for each car for $45. I already had axle shaft bearings.... They are all BRAND NEW. I only took the one out...
