Hello Everyone.

I have a question to ask all of you. I recently purchased a 95 GT with 53,000 miles. Never in a accident, all original paint. The car has been taken care of all its life. The second owner was a Ford Mechanic who did all the mods to this car. It has a Kenne Bell supercharger, a Comp Cam, Built Transmission, 331 Stroker with Forged Internals. Full exhaust, Lowering springs, Shocks and caster camber plates. Even the seats were redone in gray tweed. My issue is it needs fine tuning, its runs to rich. Also the engine oil has the smell of gas. The trans is leaking some fluid, not bad but a drip from one corner of the pan. An oil leak which I was told it is the oil pan gasket. the transmission has a one year warranty. It runs a little warm but I think its because it really needs a tune. Even if it needs a flush and new thermostat.

My question is this car does run good. really good but with these things which I have a Ford guy here in Tampa who worked on my previous 07 GT. What would you do? Seeing how the prices of used cars and New cars are nuts. I'm looking to either sell it or possibly take care of these issues. I really like the car it is an exact one of the 94 GT I had when I was 19-21. Please if you don't mind let me know what would be the best thing to do?

Thank you.

 

Really depends on what you want, most of the issues you listed are relatively minor. If you know a mechanic, I'd have them do a once over to make sure there is nothing more serious going on. And as everyone knows, the 94 GT's are the best mustangs ever built

 

The running rich issue is a tune issue. You need a dyno for that because of how built up the motor is. Without a dyno, you're just making adjustments to resolve that rich issue but could be leaving a lot of power and performance on the table. The rest of the little thing could be handled by your regular guy.

If you car has forged internals and running rich, I'm going to guess he was running FI. Most likely the injectors are oversized now for a non-FI motor. Even if you reduce the injector size, you'll still need a tune.

 

Sounds like he's still running a kenne bell supercharger. I'd look around to find someone familiar with the computer as well for the tuning, some people don't like to work with the 94/95 computers since they can be finicky if you're not used to them.

 

i read right over the kenne bell....geeez dood, that’s twice now you’re being all helpful AND observant....

okay, WHO are you and what have you done with drhoward???🧐

 

I have to stand in solidarity with my 94/95 brethren lol

 

Thank you for your advice everyone. I have a guy here in Tampa that I used to go to for my 07. Greatly appreciate all your suggestions!
