    BBK 1 3/4 full length clearance experiences?

    Well, I searched until I was sick of searching. I know this topic has been covered over the years but I can't find a thing about it. I can find all sorts about their 1 5/8 but nothing about the 1 3/4. According to their website these are a literal stock replacement (apart from the mid pipe...

    Measuring For Pushrods...mid-lift Method Or Not?

    Man, just when I thought I had a basic understanding of what I'm doing, I stumbled across this mid-lift thing. I've only done stud mount rockers once and that was back in 2009 when I first built this stroker, so my memory is already muddy at best. I have myself some ghetto solid lifters and an...

    Progress Thread Motivate Me For The Love Of God

    Hey guys, long time no see. Still have the coupe, but man I haven't touched it in years. I got it painted back in 2010? and drove it a while but then got the idea to swap the interior to black. That resulted in it sitting with a gutted interior for a few years until I finally got my ass out to...

    Cheapo Solid Lifter Diy For Checking Ptv Clearance/questions

    Hey guys long time no see. Just have a question, hoping some of you can back up what I'm thinking here. I'm about to drop some AFR's on the ol' 347 in the poop coupe and I'm about to measure for new pushrods. So, of course I need some solid lifters and I'm too cheap to buy them. I've been...

    Which Pushrod Length Checker Do I Need?

    I'm about to install some 185s, I know stock length is 6.250 but I'm not sure which checker to get..? They come in a bunch off sizes, I don't wanna end up not having enough adjustment range. Summit lists one in the 6.125-7.500 range...is there any chance it'll end up being longer than 7.5?

    Afr 195 Question

    I see they list the exhaust ports as being raised....should I expect any clearance issues with my headers and steering shaft? Headers are Mac full lengths.

    Rhs Cylinder Heads?

    I know I've heard or read about them on here, what's the verdict on these? I have a guy offering to trade me a fresh 306 with a set of these on them, wondering what they're worth. I'm not sure which model heads they are, I see they make 3 heads for a 302. I don't think I'd put any of them on my...

    Quick Cop Question

    Just looking for opinions, is there a "right way" to put these things on the plugs? I feel like I'm doing something wrong. They don't have that click feeling that I'm used to from spark plug wires, and I'm worried that I'm not getting them onto the plugs well enough. I thought maybe I should...

    What Size Rocker Studs Do I Need?

    I can't for the life of me remember, and I'd rather not have to pull one and measure. They're going on '69 351 heads with Comp Cams Pro Magnum roller rockers.

    Heli-coil Spark Plug Threads, How Reliable?

    I did a search and every thread I found had too much stupid crap in it so I'll just cut to the chase. I have an '03 Vic and it blew out the #3 plug, destroying/melting the COP boot. I got the COP off and tried to tighten the plug but it just keeps spinning. I keep getting mixed reviews on the...

    Broken Rocker Stud

    Has anyone ever had this happen? Yeah...maybe, but have you also NOT bent the push rod when it happened? I got my coupe out today after a long time sitting in the garage, romped on it one good time (8k+) and I almost thought the engine let go...started running really rough and shaking, but no...

    Who's Only Had 1 Mustang Since They Joined?

    Another thread got me thinking about this. How many other long term guys besides myself have owned the same Mustang since they joined? I've had others but i joined not long after i got this car and i've only had this one Mustang since. It'll be 9 years in November.

    Oh dear God, help me

    I'm actually considering putting Flows back on my car for a while (no, i'm NEVER getting rid of my Magnaflows). This video/car keep making me curious, and there's a set of 40s for sale cheap locally.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cDzgGQxsvk I know i know, drone drone drone but damn, my...

    I think i have a problem...i have a few more in a box and a few of the red Nitto version. I wouldn't say i'm a collector but i buy/collect anything Fox related if i see it and i struck gold today.

    Exhaust clip/walk around

    Took the car out today for a little play time and stopped at the back of some parking lot and shot a quick video. It's running a little rich but running awesome. It's LOUD :rlaugh: Pay no attention to the interior...that's next on the list. I also need to get the new door handle put on the...

    16 inch tire sizes

    I know lots of you have run Ponys, what's the widest you can go in a 16 in the front without a lot of rubbing? Keep in mind this is a lowered '85 that has the smaller fender openings.

    The sickest Lima you've ever heard

    Hey guys, long time no see...thought i'd stop in and post a video of a local guy's Pinto he's building. I posted pics of this a long time ago...it's an old 2.5 block stroked to a 2.7 with if i remember right something like a 70mm turbo...it's ridiculous, i can't even tell you half the specs but...

    Pics of the new DD

    I sold my Festiva, and bought this. You could say i went from one extreme to the next. It's a fantastic car for DD...highly recommend one if you have kids and love a roomy comfortable ride. It has enough power to keep me from getting bored on the way to work and just enough attitude that i don't...
