The wife doesnt like riding in fox body stangs anyways. Something about all the little rattles and creeks they tend to make. Plus if we go anywhere together, we would probably take the kia or the truck. If not, she can either deal with no a/c or stay at home (If that is repeated to her I will deny it of coarse) |

A heater core will defrost your windshield. Just need to get glass warm...it won't frost over then.

Sure, warm air may defog a windsheild somewhat... but you have to wait for the core to warm up enough. An A/C can run cold air to the window and defog it almost instantly due to the drying of the air (hence the name, air conditioning). This obviously comes in very handy since it's mostly needed during the first part of a drive when the car is cold.

Re: 1992 5.0 build up
Well I think I will keep the A/C however I am not sure how well it will work. It was doing very fine and blew nice cold air when it was parked about 5 years back. I have already yanked all the smog crap and am starting to try and clean my engine bay a little. I am also sorting through this big ass box of brackets and other parts trying to see what all I can use. I did not label or bag anything when I took it apart. I am trying to hide what wires I can but man there are so many different ones I am a little intimidated to even try. I can not remember what went where however I figured that now is the best time since the motor is out.
What is the reason for using convertable motor mounts?? Will they work as well as a set of aftermarket ones and are they solid mounts? |

Nah, for a street car I don't suggest sold mounts. Solid mounts were originally made for race only cars. Although some use them on the street. But, with solids, you'll feel just about all vibration from the engine. So I don't suggest them. Use some energy suspension poly's or the convertable stock mounts.

Re: 1992 5.0 build up
The vert mounts loop over each other making them much stronger they look alot like any after market mount just with out the urethane.
