i went and checked out scotts supercoupe for sale.I must say it has alot of potential. Im thinking next week im going to bring a trailer and pick it up from him. It was funny seeing an empty hole in the firewall where the brake master cylinder used to be.
well now i just need to find the site about swaping the abs-non abs. and then i need to replace the valve cover gaskets and find a 10% overdriven pulley, and some more go faster parts.

better open up the exhaust before you install the pulley, do an advance search for "jvo" threads and that's the procedure i followed. the one thing that will wake up a sc is gears, maybe by the spring time i'll have a 73mm c&l maf and a 70mm bbk throttle body to get rid of.

and by opening the exhaust up, you mean true duals with no cats and flowmasters? :D i think its open...kinda loud too.
i just found that thread. the only thing im not sure is about adjusting the actuator arm.

i didn't know it had exhaust on it ,you're good to go. i guess your talking about the stud that sticks out the front of the booster, all you have to do is go to lowes or home depot and get a 2"x1/4" 28 thread grade 5 hex head bolt and grind the head of the bolt round then it be will just right and long enough to work the master cylinder correctly. if you don't do that then your pedal will be real low before in applies the brakes. i also bought a 12" brake line so i could move the junction block from the crown vic to be located near the bottom of the brake booster. when you take a master cylinder off a crown vic notice how far the stud sticks out from the brake booster, do the same when you get the brake booster off of the t-bird then it will be clear to you why you need the longer bolt. let me know if you need some answers.

When opening the exaust ... may i recomend to NOT get 3" exaust through one borla muffler.
I love the sound of the borla, and if I had hiflow cats or something im sure it would help muffle it down a bit, my car I feel is TOO loud, sounds GREAT inside with the windows up ... not so much next to a jersey wall with teh windows down.
And yes, I noticed a HUGE difference from when I did the gears in my SC.
