    I've got the cold start woes....

    I figured I would post this here to see if anyone else had some ideas of what else to possibly look at or try. I've posted about this issue on TCCoA a few times in the past with no success. I'm trying to post as much helpful information I can to help in diagnostics. I'm at the point of trying...

    Oil level sensor thread size?

    I have a plan to add an oil supply hose for an upcoming modification to where the factory oil level sensor currently is. I have no use for the factory sensor since my mark motor isn't in a mark viii and it isn't hooked up to anything anyway, currently it just plugs the hole. I'd like to replace...

    Pace setter headers

    Does anyone think that the pace setter 96-98 long tubes would fit similar to the Mac headers? I'm considering buying a set and cutting up the drivers side to make it work with the steering along with relocating the egr fitting. I found a pair new for $275 shipped. Just wondering if anyone thinks...

    Project completed

    I'm not sure how many of you frequent TCCoA.com since the majority of 4.6 tech is SOHC, and their focus is more toward birds and cougars than they imply but I wanted to show you all how far the bird has come. In a way it's Thundermark 2 for some of you. Anyway here is the link along with many...

    Oil seperator/Catch can

    I'm looking to prolong the life of my IMRC's, I had initially installed a basic small air/water separator in line with the PCV system but this is proving to be insufficient on the 4v. It was fairly successful on my old 2v motor but it's not doing it's job in this application. I've been...

    1-2 & 2-3 shift points?

    It's been awhile since I last drove a mark VIII, but with my 4v motor swap coming near completion on my tbird I wanted to know what rpm are you N/A guys shifting at WOT and what rpm does it shift at from the factory at WOT?

    MMR questions

    Does anyone here have any experience with the MMR remote IAC kit? I'm thinking of investing in it for my gen1 swap. Also any opinions or feed back on their rear main seal/Block support plate kit? My engine is currently out for a complete regasket and I've noticed these modular innovations. Just...

    93 forged internals?

    I remember reading something about few early 93 mark viii engines getting some forged internals. I could be mistaken though as i have had a bit to drink this evening. Pardon my ignorance but how would you identify whether or not it did or did not have anything forged in the bottom end? It did...

    SEMA pic.

    I usually only post in the Mark VIII forum but when I was at SEMA I snapped a picture of this LS. It has a wide body kit and a vortech supercharged 4.6 4v aluminator engine. I thought it was pretty unique. What do you all think?

    Torque converter nut size?

    What size wrench do I need to take those torque converter s.o.b.'s out? A 15mm seems to big, a 14mm seems to small, a 9/16" seems to small. What size are those damn things?

    Tps and wiring question

    Will a gen 2 tps and wiring work on a gen one throttle body? I've compared the sensors side by side and the look mechanically the same except for the different connectors for the wiring. Is this one of those parts that maintained the same function but changed shape from gen 1 to gen 2 like the...

    Injector pintle caps

    As I've said before I'm in the longer version of the process of swapping a mark VIII motor into my thunderbird. I was tearing apart the top-end of my 93 mark motor yesterday to clean my imrc's but when I took out the fuel injectors all of bank 1's pintle caps broke, and all of bank 2's are...
