    Header size for AFR 205 heads

    I was wondering what size headers to get. Can I use a 1 3/4 or do I need to use 1 7/8 primarys? I don't want to use the 1 3/4 if they're going to be a little too small.

    PT-88 turbocharged 331 or 408?

    A buddy of mine is stating that I should go ahead and build a 408 for my turbo setup. My original plan is a 331. Both combos will be using a TKO-600 and aftermarket blocks. Help me decide! :shrug: Also, what's the limit of a stock (let's say 1990) 351W block with a girdle and etc.?

    331 with AFR 205's

    I'm in the process of building a serious street/strip motor for my car. I'll be using the AFR 205 heads, with Scat forged internals in either an A4 or Dart block. I'll also be using dished pistons for the PT-88 turbo that will follow soon after it's built. The question is, what size injectors...

    351W or 331? Can't decide!

    I'm seriously debating whether or not I'll stroke my 5.0 or just drop in a healthy 351W. Along with either combo, I'll most likely be using a set of AFR 185's with it. I was already going to buy new headers for my car(crappy Flowtech's on right now) so it would seem a 351W would be the way to...

    Clearance problems with 1.7's rockers?

    I've got a 92 motor in my Capri and wondering if the 1.7rr's will be ok with the E-303 cam I have and the fact that my heads have been milled about .015.

    Need a poll on headers

    I plan to get some new headers to replace my old Flowtech longtubes. They were cheap at the time I bought them but I've decided to spring for something much nicer.(and coated) So, what's the opinions on these brands: BBK, MAC, other?

    Questions about power

    Though it won't go into a Mustang, it'll still go into a Ford. I've got a 72 Pinto in need of a little extra power so I was thinking about rebuilding a 2.5 on a low budget to help it out. It'll also be N/A and I may just change out the auto tranny in it. So how much power can I expect out of...

    Average power gain from E-303?

    Just got my new cam and was wondering if anyone knew how much power it picks up on a stock motor. Mods are in my sig and I'm still running the stock TB, bottom end, and heads.

    Daily driver with a spool?

    I was just wondering if it's that bad. Was considering one along with some 33 spline axles to ensure strength out back. If it isn't worth it, I'll just go for some 31 spline with a new LSD.

    Need opinions on rearend buildup

    Well, I decided to go ahead and build up the 8.8 in my car since my rearend is making "clunking" noises from the last time I went to the track. Right now it's an Auburn 28 spline diff with 3.73's. I was already planning to go with 4.10's but now I can't decide which diff to buy. I'm also...

    First time dyno results

    Finally got my car dyno'd today on a Dynojet. On motor with timing at 10*BTDC, I hit 231whp and 267tq. I then dropped timing to 8* and got 225whp. Then came the 100 shot and I pulled 320whp and 424tq. After that, I tried the 150 shot and got 342whp and 457tq. Sort of disappointed at the 150...

    MT ET Street questions

    Well, it's time for me to get a new set of ET's. Now the questions, would it hurt my times if I got something like a 28x11.5 or 27x10.5? The main reason I want something a little bigger is so my front tires won't look about the same diameter. Pointless, but I want to fill in the rear tire...

    200hp shot of nitrous on stock engine?

    I wanted to get some opinions on this since I was thinking about trying it out. In my sig are my mods so I do have an upgraded fuel system except for the injectors.(Crank up the fuel pressure I guess) I've heard people talk about running 250+ on the stock bottom end. Will my Fel-pro...

    351W Fox owners

    I'm thinking about going with a 351W. The problem is that I want to convert it over to a hydraulic roller cam setup. I saw some for $400. :mad: Besides that, what's some good long tube headers for this swap? Also, what's some good oil pans? Any input would be appreciated. :D

    Opinions on parts needed please.

    Well, I've decided to go ahead and go for a cam and some rockers. Here's the questions: I was thinking about trying out the F-303 with some 1.6 rockers. Do I need to worry about valve clearance with stock heads? Should I just go with the E-303 or something else maybe? The last question is...

    Need opinions on motor

    I've got a 72 Pinto I've been thinking about messing around with. Right now, it has a rod-knocking 2.0 with a C-5 auto. I was thinking about building a simple 2.5 just for fun, but I want to keep it cheap. I had plans for a turbo, but I can fuel inject it later if I want. Any idea on how a...

    New track times

    Went to the track and got my best pass to date. 60ft. 1.85 330ft. 5.52 1/8th 8.62 MPH 80.23 1000 11.29 1/4 13.55 MPH 100.3 Trap speed is up almost 2mph with only a .1 gain. I'm sure I could've gotten a 13.4. Also did a couple of 5000rpm launches and on...

    Question about emission and laws

    Right now, I live in OK and we don't have a state inspection or emissions tests. My car is a 79, so it's now 25 years old, but the car has the complete drivetrain and EFI from a 92 GT. Say I move to TX, NV, or FL. Is there any laws and regulations on cars my age? Do I have to get cats and...

    What do you think?

    I have a heavily ported stock lower intake that I've been thinking about putting on. Since the ports looked a little bigger than my heads, I decided to just put on the Cartech 5.0 upper. Do you think I should go ahead and put the lower on since it is the "bottleneck" of my engine? Would it...

    C&L MAFS---Power gain?

    I'm about to recieve the 76mm C&L in a couple of days and was wondering how much power would I gain with an essentially stock 5.0? My sig has the list of mods done so far. I know I still need to replace my TB as well. Most of the ads say about 10-15hp. Is this true?
