    Weird problem with my car after it gets warm...... only sometimes though.

    I drove my car to my first car show of the year a couple Saturday's ago and had a great time except for a weird problem. The drive to the show was about 45 minutes and when I got there the oil pressure was 50+ psi and the water temp was steady at 190ish. I pulled into line with the other cars...

    I have my new 331 in the car but I have some clearance problems with my electric fan/radiator. I am using a Meziere 55 gph pump with an idler pulley but the idler sticks out further than my old setup. I am going to have to get a different setup. I will get a larger radiator since my current...

    Victor Jr's too big for a street car?

    I'm building a Boss blocked blower motor (331 or big bore 347) for my car this winter and am looking at a set of Victor Jr heads. I am looking for 500-550 rwhp and will be running a Vortech blower pushing about 10 psi. I still want to have some low end torque and am wondering if Victor Jr's...

    Electric or Standard water pump

    I am in the process of building a new 331 for my car. I will continue to use my blower on the car so I need a good cooling system. I am currently running a 190 degree t-stat and notice the car runs between 190-210 depending on outside temp. I was wondering is you get any better cooling with...

    Thinking about a cam swap.

    I am running a FMS E303 cam now and am making 402rwhp and 414 rwtq. I cam across a deal that I could buy an Anderson Ford Cam B-21 that would go well with my 1.7rr. Do you guys think it would make a noticable difference in power. Would it be worth it?

    Another replaced head gaskets and engine won't start thread.

    I had a head gasket that was seeping so I just replaced it this week. I put the engine back together and now it won't start. I never removed the distributor so the timing should be good. The only thing I did to the distributor was twist it a little to make room for the waterneck to be removed. I...
