My bicycle has a round tooth belt, not square, so there must be an advantage.

What oil were you running?

Ford should be embarrassed to produce the poster. Along with the noted 84 SVO labeled 1986, the text doesn't match:
1984: Ford’s Special Vehicle Operations creates the Mustang SVO, which features...

I am running 3.55:1 gear with the stock SVO T5 (3.50:1 1st gear). I think it is the best change I made to the car and yields 22mpg city and 30mpg highway.

Another fan option is the Ranger Duratec fan that is mounted as a pusher in the Ranger. I have been running one of these fans for years as a puller and it works great and doesn't pull near the amps...

Any recommendations Mike?

X2 I thought the 85.5 didn't have the 3rd light.

Vacuum leaks can also cause high idle, check all of your hoses. There are hoses heading over to the egr and pressure switch above the turbo and get brittle from the heat of the turbo.

What about cam timing, have you checked to make sure the belt hasn't jumped a tooth?

I did order from RockAuto, no nuts included with mounts and I had the ChuckW mounts on there so I went to my large bucket of Ford bolts and nuts to find nuts that would work. I don't know if they...

Just catching up on photos and posted the 6G install in my SVO. http://rothfam.com/svo/3g/ scroll to the bottom.

Project old fart complete. I added a 14" torque strap to the driver's side of the engine to keep the motor mounts happy. http://rothfam.com/svo/torquestrap/

I bring the gauge wires in at the grommet next to the clutch cable or speedo cable. O2 signal and power wires are all under hood to keep the noise as low as possible.

On the flip side, I built my own harness. I harvested 3 headlight harnesses from an 83-88 Ranger. The Ranger harness power is supplied from the drivers side then over to the passenger side, so the...

30+ on the highway, 22 or better in town. Not stock SVO, 3.55 gears.

Bumping the closed loop RPM parameters in the EEC code will increase the fuel economy, or keep the RPMs below 2950. A $60 chip...

Paul,

The PK1 should have a DOL (pin 34). I think I have PK1 on the shelf at the house, I will check it this weekend.

Sorry, I didn't think the 6G was new information. The 6G is found on the V6 mustangs. I found both of mine in a 1999 and 2000 Mustang. The wiring is very similar to the 3G

I am running the 100w bulbs in the fog lights. I built a new harness with relay and triggered by factory fog light wire. I have not had any problems with the bulbs. Be sure to align correctly so...

Holy David Hasselhoff, nice jacket and hair!

You don't need an L series processor, the P series has DOL but was never pinned in the Mustang harness. You will need a VSS. They are pretty easy to find, any 87-93 Mustang has the VSS attached ot...

This is the last of the SVO/Mustang tripminders I built a while back. I has a new red lens, Mustang console brackets and comes with pigtail and EEC pins for DOL.
It looks like this installed.

I actually have mine in the stock location but have a large copper heat sink installed and am using one of the spark plug antifoul extenders to keep the tip of the sensor out of the direct line of...

Thanks for the confirmation guys. Motor mounts ordered. Next task, torque strap. I was thinking of using an axle strap and was just at a big swap meet yesterday...dang.

Chalky, how much for...

I need some help with motor mounts for the SVO. I have been running turbochuck mounts for years now and am tired of the vibration. Does anyone have pictures of the stock SVO motor mounts? Is this...

I am pretty sure I have 2 or 3 tripminders built up with red lense and Mustang console brackets. If you want one, let me know. You will need to install a VSS (vehicle speed sensor) for the...
