    4.0 SOHC Performance Cams

    I have a '99 X w/ the 4.0 SOHC with 150k miles and may need to replace one of the cams. I couldn't help but wonder if the use of the 4.0 SOHC in the Mustang has led to someone making performance camshafts that will also fit my X. I would be interested to hear from anyone that has swapped out...

    i've read a few threads about the drivers side of the x being lower than the pass side. sure enough, when i checked mine (99 4 door w/ t-bolts removed and 2" rear blocks) the drivers side measured 29.5" to fender lip and pass side was 30.25" (w/ gas tank full). i was thinking i need to put the...

    Am I crazy...

    I have a 1999 SOHC X and have noticed a dramatic performance improvment during the cold weather (it has been around 10-20 degrees F lately in NJ). Am I crazy, or has anyone else noticed the same thing? Also welcome thoughts on why this is.

    I have a 1999 SOHC AWD 4 door X and am trying to find out what the stock ride height is supposed to be in the front. Is there a factory ride height measurement from the ground to a framerail, fender lip, etc.?

    Rear Sway Bar

    I was telling a friend about the significant handling improvement of the EE rear sway bar I recently installed. He told me that owners from a Saab forum were installing two stock Saab rear sway bars on the rear of their cars as a low buck alternative to buying a new aftermarket rear bar. I don't...

    How 2 - faster SOHC

    Q: Know how to make the 4.0 SOHC faster? A: Put it in a 3,400 Lb. vehicle! :thumbsup: But seriously, I've been drooling over the new Mustang and was suprised to see the performance numbers with V6/auto in Car and Driver: 0-60 = 6.9 Sec; 1/4 mi = 15.3 Sec@ 91 MPH. That's only 0.6 and 0.2...

    Secret "X" Uncovered!

    When walking behind my '99 Explorer tonight I noticed a distinct "X" on the snow covered ground behind the truck. It was about 18" high and 2' from the rear bumper. Puzzled, I first covered one tail light with my hand, then the other. Sure enough, each diagonal of the "X" is cast separately from...

    Spring Rates

    My X ('99 4 door XLT AWD SOHC) has the firmest "B" factory suspension available (B=firmest on B-L rating scale) and rides like a dump truck. I was wondering if anybody has any experience swapping out the firmer torsion bars and leaf springs for softer ones. I understand why Ford went with overly...
