Happy new V8 owner
hello fellow mustang owners. My name is Jason, I just bought my dads old 89' 5.0 stang, and am very happy with the power. If thats not enough i just ordered a set of headers and exhaust from Summit. I cant wait to install these parts. does anybody know if its hard?
My school is full of ricer boys with hondas and nissans, and i cant wait to start smoking them. Theres allready this one dude who thinks his 300z will smoke me....haha.
i'll teach him a lesson in american muscle.

RE: Happy new V8 owner
assbut, if you are using the "paper type" gasket for the headers, rather than copper ones, soak them in water about 1 hr before putting them on. I did this with mine and it sealed up great in one shot. Re-torque after and couple runs too.
Also, consider buying allen head bolts from a hardware store (real cheap too)... if you find that out you can barely get a socket onto the ones that come with the headers. Then you can get a proper and equal torque on them... and be able to get a wrench on them so much easier.
Is this guys 300z a twin turbo?
