    Engine adjust roller rockers on new 393

    So, I built a 393W 9 years ago and just now got around to getting the car complete enough to start. It fired right up once a fuel issue was fixed, sounded great, but I had a little valvetrain noise that I assumed was the valvetrain being a little too loose. More noticeable on the passenger side...

    SN95 MAF 460?

    General question.... If one were to take a MAF computer such as an A9 series, or one of the SN95 units, and try to use it to run a stock 460, with its factory 24# injectors, would the computer learn to adapt enough to successfully run it?

    Fuel fuel pump relay?

    So, after a 9 year pause after getting the 1991 Mustang 95% complete with the new 393W build, I am getting around to finishing it. I got it to where it would crank, but the fuel pump wasnt coming on. By just putting power manually directly to the fuel pump plug at the tank, it pumped fuel to the...

    Fuel return fuel line fitting?

    After a 9 year pause, I'm finally finishing my 396 stroker 91 Mustang. Got it to fire up for the first time, but it was leaking fuel where the flex nylon fuel line is pushed onto the plastic fitting which claips onto the metal return line below the brake booster/next to the steering column. The...

    stupid piston/con rod question

    the pistons Im planning to use say 'press fit'. the rods I can have as 'press fit' or 'floating'. which way do i order the rods? first impulse tells me press fit goes with press fit, but upon further thinking, if there's an interference fit on the pin/rod AND the pin/piston pin bores, it...

    help me pick 351 or 393

    Its an 86 GT convertible with a TKO 5 speed and 3.90 gears. Right now its got a carbed (600 holley and stealth intake) and I have over 1.5" clearance (play-doh mockup), so I know the 351 will fit without a cowl hood. I have both a 302 and 351 shortblock sitting in the garage to choose from and I...

    is 350 rwhp possible with a N/A 5.0, GT40 irons, and Explorer intake?

    I want the car to look basically stock to the untrained eye ( I like that look, I dont like polished crap and aftermarket names everywhere ). With using a set of GT40 iron F3ze heads, a 5.0 block, and an explorer intake as 'givens', what kind of power can i get from stock stroke and be smooth...

    different 347 kits....

    there are multiple 347 kits to choose from, what are your inputs? I hear that only the CHP kit eliminates oil usage problems from the oil rings and piston pins intersecting, but i always see people selling a used set of 7 pistons from Probe (CHP's brand) because they broke an upper ring land...

    will a 351 fit under a stock 86 hood?

    does anyone know if a 351 wearing a lightning lower intake and an explorer upper will fit under a stock 86 hood? I do NOT like cowl hoods and this will determine if the future stroker will be 302 or 351 based. I have both engines in the garage waiting to be picked from.

I thought i better check before wiring the L1C 91 cougar HO 5.0 automatic computer into my HO 5.0 stick shift ranger. If it will work, do I need to wire in anything more...
