I think there is a bolt on the inside of the door, at the back... If I remember correctly, it should come right off. Maybe the mirror has to come off too... I'll try to take mine off tomorrow, then let you know for sure.
I've had my door panel off hundreds of times, and I've never seen a bolt in there. Make sure you take pics.

OK.

Arin is correct in that I'm already replacing the transmission.

So I'd like to pull the motor anyway, change the mounts, put on the headers and do the engine work and then stick her back in. Plus I could throw some paint on the block and it's be fun. I've always wanted to pull a motor out so why not now. It's not like its my daily driver.

Also I wore a blue shirt today...so tomorrow I'm gonna go with the red.

Hundreds, really. Seriously. Maybe you should look into doing it right the first time.

Seriously. I need help in which direction to go.

I want NA and am looking for about 300rwhp maximum. Plus the tranny is setting me back dollar wise for the short term.

So what should I do?

Which CAI? One that doesn't use an elbow before the MAF

Which throttle body? Not sure, but not bigger than 70mm

Which upper and lower intake? I've heard good things about the Trickflow Street Heat and a ported GT40, whichever you like best.

Which coil, spark plugs, wires? 8mm the least, otherwise any coil will do

I'll figure out the exhaust myself. Ok. LT's are a PITA to install on foxes

Will all of that plus heads get me there? AFR 165-185, depending if you want to add cubes later, but even the 165s are real power makers. GT40X (new design) are also good performers
That's the more common 5.0L setups that are used that produce good results. The car will pull quite strong with those mods. For cams, either the E303 or have made a custom grind. Also the stocker works best with 1.7 roller rockers. It will outflow the Cobra cam due to the higher lift and duration.

I don't think I'll ever find the perfect pair of speakers.

Do they weigh more then 0?

We should find out how much spearkers, subs, amps, wiring, headunit and everything does weigh. I'd be curious.
