    Will a '92 GT's oil pan fit on a '74 351w?

    ebay has the correct flywheel, case billet steel and SFI approved for 100 bucks from a few dealers on there... as stated early(mid 80's) crown vics have the right oil pan, dipstick tube and pickup tube(dont forget the stud to mount the pickup tube).. i have a 351w pickup tube and used swap...

    You can come and park in the other field behind the 4I's.. there was an 87+ with a 331 race setup, 87+ grey GT, etc.. The built 331 got some attention for sure

    Is there any spoiler to this effect?

    So... buy a cobra wing and hack off the center fins? There's a pic of a notch with a small sheetmetal lip on the trunk and i think it looks great. Try a search for any spoiler and also one from a turbocoupe..

    Surpentine belt setup suggestions...

    You need a march, summit or other brand alternator mount with the adjustable tensioning rod, it will do away with the stock alt. bracket and tensioner and look much better. When you do this you need a standard rotation water pump and probably an aluminum grooved water pump pulley to avoid...

    Ready to pull my hair out

    it's a cheap enough upgrade.. i would just because you want to run a big stereo system, maybe it helps the surging and maybe not. At least you'll have a badass alternator to keep up the amps

    Ready to pull my hair out

    I vote alternator too.. 13.9v is ok but a little low... especially when a junkyard 3G can be done pretty cheap. I would unplug the fan when it surges next time and turn everything but the motor off. These are the reasons i prefer a carb, lol

    cast iron vs aluminum

    351w? seems like a cheaper, stronger alternative that you can build up later.. and +1 for used aluminum heads i've seen a few nice barely used pairs go for 1,000
