466 Fox Update and 5.0 problems
Hi guys, wow its been awhile. I was working in Columbus Ohio's all ford super swap meet two weeks ago and damn, it was crazy awesome there, its the biggest all ford show in the world, no kidding. My 466 is all torn down and I picked out all my parts and am currently saving up to get them. At the swap show I bought a Barry Grant Speed Demon 850CFM w/ mechanic secondaries for $400 brand new, some 7.5 fender emblems and had my eye on a built C6 but decided to wait (didn't need to max out credit card lol). Anyway the rest of the parts list:
-Hooker Super Comp LT Headers
-C6 w/2500 stall
-Spintech Pro Street Mufflers
-Ford Racing A443 cam (234/244 dur. @.050 .562/.588 lift) and lifters
-Harland Sharp 1.73 ratio roller rockers
-Ford Racing 4.5" valve covers
-Custom 3" exhaust tubing made into side exits
-Roll Cage
-Mini Starter
-Felpro gaskets
-Ford racing fox body 460 engine mounts
-Ford racing fox body 460 oil pan conversion, pick up, tube, dipstick
-Subframe connectors
I can't think of anymore but tell me what you guys think so far.
Also, on my 5.0 I had a problem with it sort of sputtering sound cruising down the road and it backfires/sputters like crazy above 4000rpms. I changed the sparkplugs and the problem went away for a few weeks and now its back again WTF man. I know my B303 is letting more exhaust through but would that be fouling my plugs that quick? O the old plugs that i took off look like they were 4-5 years old. not good. now it has brand new autolites with a .045 ga, i know its not correct gap, i think its supposted to be .054 if not mistaken, could that be the problem? thanks

.So now I got manual brakes, it was wroth it when changing plugs.You might have to remover the power booster and get a smaller GM styl one or go manual brakes.I know the 429/460 motors are wider than the Widsor small blocks thats why I said this.Looks like you got most of the stuff you need, don't forget fuel lines and electrical wiring, that stuff gets expensive (I know,I got $800 into a fuel lines alone).What kinda of manifold are you gonna be runing, because hood clearance will be a issue.I think you might need a special driveshaft for the C6, but im not sure.
