    Small Fixes; High Idle, EBrake

    was it actually an MLS gasket or is it a single layer shim? when i rebuilt my motor i had a 20thou shim between the block and a regular head gasket to make up for the amount that was machined out to make everything straight.

    Flaming Rivers Mustang 5.0 Manual Steering Rack Problem

    every write up i have ever read talks about cutting the mustang mounts, but seeing yours would one simply be able to just drill bolt holes and use the mounts as is or is it an issue of angle?
