Dude seriously as a safety issue, don't do the jackstands in the dirt thing!

94mustanggtfast · Feb 10, 2012

you use what you got. it hard dirt. hasnt rained in awhile no worries

ttocs · Feb 10, 2012

what would be the worst that could happen?

g36 monkey · Feb 10, 2012

One side sinks, car falls, you die. No big.

I think there are safer ways about it, some of the guys on here know. I have been blessed with a concrete drive way.

I would just hate for something to happen =/

Yeah, sorry if I came off like a dick. Car looks great btw.

Just run a quick google search for jackstands on soil. Even if it's hard, the stands can still sink, which can result in the car slipping off. People do die like that! Don't mean to de-rail your thread, so that's the end of my preaching.

Edit: What kind of hood is that? I like it. 2.5 inch?? I need a cowl hood to clear a blower!

blksnake · Feb 10, 2012

94mustanggtfast · Feb 10, 2012

Yes be careful with that . I had a car fall off stands in a stone drive way a few yrs ago while putting a trans in my old fox body . I had the back on blocks the front was on stands . I was cold and in a hurry took off the e brake to spin the drive shaft just before I went back under the car I seen it move the stands dug in the ground and down it came . Nobody is trying to be a ass just be carefull

Even throwing a piece of wood under them would make it better. I have an asphalt driveway and I still put wood underneath to make sure the stands are balanced.

that cowl is sick! is it the one from abcexclusive?

94mustanggtfast · Feb 11, 2012

94mustanggtfast · Feb 11, 2012

yea got them for a steal. totally ripped that guy off

94mustanggtfast · Feb 16, 2012

so before i do my top end swap and turbo i just want to make sure i have everything i need. i still need a cam thinking about trickflow stage 1 and a throttle body. anything else i may need? this is my dd so i want to be prepared. what kind of head gaskets should i get that work well with boost?

98snakehorse · Feb 16, 2012

ARP gaskets, Be sure to upgrade your pump (255lph Walbro's work fine). Bigger injectors (42lbs atleast) Plenty of heat wrap, and copper gasket maker. Concrete pad to lift your car on lol jk but really...... Otherwise you will find that in the process of your install there will be many things nickle and dimeing you along the way. Good Luck!
