Just a heads up, I am in the process of doing this with the engine in the car. The bellhousing and transmission are off the car.
First off, if you have a lift and a few swivel jacks then the job...

Mike Is that 1.25" bore OR 1.125" bore. I see the kits list as an 1-1/8 bore (=1.125")
Anybody know the color scheme for the front bumber cover molding that comes into the wheel well the way the cars were delivered new? Car color and trim color in that area
I have attached a pic...
Pull the head to confirm you headgasket is blown. Next you inspect the cylinder walls, if you have a stuck ring the the cylinder wall will more than likely be scored up. If they all look good then...
Where do you think the squealing is coming from? Do you think the pedal itself is making the noise? Do you think possibly the quadrant is not sitting good on the shaft it pivots on? The damn...
Good luck! Sorry to hear about this but it does happen unfortunately. I could tell you some similar stories sadly! LOL
Hopefully she gets sorted out asap
I am looking for an 86 9L SVO
Let me know if anyone looking to sell
Frank
This is my 86 SVO. I have developed some rust/rot in this area. I want to weld in a new panel but they dont seem to make patch panels for Fox Mustangs for this part of the car. I was wondering if...
Depends how bad you need it. I would say $250? I got one a few yrs back for about $200
Yes I see that, I hope they look as good for you as they do for me.
I want to add that the pictures do not do justice on the brightness. I also installed new aftermarket headlights to replace my hazy ones (one was cracked too). That helps even with standard bulbs...
My retaining clips may have not been perfect from removing them a few times in the past. It is possible a tab or 2 have cracked slightly and allowed the fan to push through. I did not have a...
I would advise anyone to get a set. Who knows when they will do another run. Every year there are less and less SVOs. Besides if you have an extra set of these they will be worth gold in the...
Late Model Restoration has these back in stock for $229 they are very good reproduction.

I bought a set and they fit...
Bravo! Nice work brother. All I can say is that I have been there on numerous projects over the years. This is a great troubleshooting thread for SVO owners.
Could someone post a picture of the front suspension of their SVO. I would like the picture to show how the lower control arms sit with the weight of the vehicle on it. I feel that my LCAs are in a...
It is raining and the pic is not really well focused. I stood further away and it does not seem to be blinding. There is a pretty distinct "line" that cuts off the beam and directs it straight and...
I installed these lights in my '86, WOW!
I can not believe how bright my lights are. It is like one of these brand new cars that you see with those extra bright "White" light. I am very pleased...
I am pretty sure my front springs are shot. It looks like the LCA's are def in an upward position when the car is just sitting. Like sagging.
Does anyone know a part number of a spring that I...
I need a passenger side 86. I hope they make another run.
Thanks! I got the new one from local Ford dealer. It def is more pliable than the aftermarket one. Once I empty the tank I will drop it and replace the grommet. Can it be done without removing...
Thanks! I am familiar with the retainer bracket and it is in place.
Any one have any advice on the installation procedure? This will be the 3rd time I am doing it and as straight forward as it...
On my 86 SVO a few yrs back I replaced my fuel pump. While I was at it I replaced the fuel filler pipe rubber gasket / grommet. I bought it from Blue Oval Ind and within a few months it failed and...
OK will do. This is a car that is driven frequently and it just seems abrupt how it went and then almost immediately happened again. If the diodes are not the case could bad battery cables cause...
Hi Guys,
My alternator had blown diodes recently and I had my local alternator guy rebuild it. I have used the car 2 or 3 times since and I have blown the diodes again. Not sure where to look...
