    New 5.0 in a Mark VIII.....

    It does bolt up, but would require an aftermarket trans controller as well; the Ford Racing unit controls engine only. I am trying to find out the compatability issues involved in using a complete donor drivetrain with control unit in the Mark: and whether the use of an after-market TCS would...

    New 5.0 in a Mark VIII.....

    LMR has the crate Coyote in stock for just over $6100.00 and VERY reasonable shipping. You would still need a control system- $1300.00 from Ford Racing, but it is otherwise a bolt-in. I see a Coyote/Panther/F100 unibody in my future, but it sure is tempting to rejuvenate my Ol' Black 98 with...

    Hey All, Waco, Texas here

    Limo tint Watch the window tint! After I have driven deep tinted cars all over Texas for years, a friend was ticketed in one of my Marks just outside of Mexia for illegal front door tint. I had it checked and when combined with the factory tint, it exceeded the standard. Since the car was...

    2009 Pontiac G8

    Let me think!, and this relates to my personal tastes and preferences: A) A wife that prefers an automatic in her car. B) It may be a generation thing, but, for me, a four door, two ton SEDAN, no matter how performance oriented, is NOT a "sports car". C) I no longer prefer to "row" a manual in...

    2009 Pontiac G8

    All 2009's ARE six speeds; GXP's were AVAILABLE with the six speed manual, all others in 2009 are six speed automatics. Just a matter of nomenclature! Paul

    2009 Pontiac G8

    I would be suprised if it were NOT a 6 speed. To my (limited) knowledge, I don't believe they come any other way. I'd be interested myself if it were black. That is a pretty good buy IMHO. The cars were originally to come in under 30k, but when I checked with a local dealer, he had one at ~ 35K...

    Well, I'm back!

    Headlight I haven't checked it out yet with the monsoons; instead I used the rain as an excuse to take the truck to visit Chuck- 303 hp/315 torque; not too shabby for absolutely nothing except the cat-back! Tuner's (maybe tuners) on the way, so let the games begin. Connie got spoiled by the...

    Well, I'm back!

    After losing a multitude of cars to Ike, Texas's (occasional) version of Venice struck my remaining Mark in April. I have dried the car out and am actively preparing to build a forced-induction-capable replacement drivetrain to replace the hydraulic'ed engine. My long-suffering and usually...

    engine swap?

    I understand that the AJ v-8 from a Jag is a bolt-in. Factory rating was as high as 420 hp. with considerably more available with things ranging from a pulley up to a K-B style supercharger. They don't feel extremely strong on the low end for a supercharged car, especially when compared to a...

    Peeling Steering Wheel

    Sharon, What kind of mufflers did you decide on? Are you going to retain the stock tips? I bought a set of Flowmaster 40's, but now I'm concerned about the noise/ droning. Let us know how you like your choice, please. Thanks, Paul, 95 & 98 VIII's, 84 SVO, 92 Vette, 94 Bronco The Black Cars
