Still have the intercooler for sale?

If I am not mistaken, in order to run those 2.05 intake valves you will need to flycut the piston tops as well or change the pistons. Don't forget that. Otherwise its going to live a short life when you first fire it up.

Its actually the best job I have ever had. Hella easy, awesome pay, awesome benefits, the best retirement. www.uprr.com :)

No sick time while I am on probation. Thats a REAL good way to get fired. Even after probation its a pain in the ass to get time off work other the earned vacation.

I know this.. But since his engine has 1,200 miles on it since Ford built him a new one, I would assume its running quite close to "perfect".

Yes, I know they are "factory" gears. Thats part of the reason I put them in there to begin with. While you may not have registered any gains on the ole ass dyno, these 3.27's definately helped over the 2.73's. No doubt about it.

They can have whatever they want, I work everyday minus Mon/Tue. Noon to midnight usually. :( And BTW, its Sacramento Raceway.

I work Wednesday nights, not going to happen anytime soon.

The gears were free, laugh all you want. The rear end was run low on oil, the clutch packs were burnt, and it was leaking. I figured while I was in there, I would ditch the 2.73's for my 3.27's. It made a big difference. The car runs quite strong especially for just exhaust and 1.7:1 rr's. With...

Turns out his girlfriend put some regular fuel in it and thats why it was cutting out some. We went back out last night. He had premium and three bottles of octane booster. With a good launch on his part, he had me by two cars at the end of "the quarter". If I got a good launch and he kinda...

See, I didn't think it was this heavy either.. Just going by what I read. Here is another strange thing. The cobra has also raced another 88 5.0. It was a convertable with cam/intake manifolds/cold air/headers/exhaust/3.73's and the cobra beat it by like 2 cars. I can't see how my car would...

So I just got my 3.27's installed. Car feels MUCH better then with the 2.73's. Anyways, my friend wanted to run me against his 2001 Cobra. Cobra is stock, 3.27's, no mufflers, BBK CAI. I have under drive pulleys, off road H, dynomax mufflers, 1.7:1 roller rockers and my 3.27's. Nothing more. No...

I just used various information on this site as well as Alldata. I should point out I used to be a mechanic, so I do have some mechanical background. Its not hard however and I am sure with some patience you can figure it out. Just slow down, take your time. The bearing was pressed on by a...

What? Anyways, pattern seemed good so I buttoned it up and filled it up. Mostly royal purple, but being 4am, I had to also use some 80w-90 limited slip gear oil I had in the shop to top off with. Anyways, made a very noticeable improvment over the 2.73's. Nice and quiet. Diff isn't getting...

I swapped out my 2.73's for some stock 3.27's. I used the same shim on the pinion bearing as I removed and installed a new crush ring. Pinion preload set to 15 inch lbs as spec calls for. Installed another used 8.8 traction lock since I got it really cheap and the clutch packs were in much...

I had the radiator checked by a reputable shop in the area.. They said it was in fine shape. I even tried some stuff to remove corrosion and rust from the cooling passages. Nothing helped but the stock mechanical fan. I might agree with you if the fan didn't make such a HUGE impact in the...

I hope you weren't explaining this to me. I am well aware of how a cooling system works, but I don't think you have the entire picture. Sure, at idle the cooling system depends MORE on the fan, but remember...The car will still generate more heat under a load, not under idle. Thus a fan...

Not entirely true. Mine could idle for 12 hours in 115 degree heat and it would never get hot. When I drove it, THAT is when it heated up and could never bring temps down. Tossed the POS electric fan and put a junkyard stock fan on, car runs much cooler. Not one issue in the heat.

So is it supposed to be an O-ring? This is the first ford rear end I have ripped apart and everything is burnt from running low on oil..

I removed my rear axles and there is what appears to be an oring on the end of the shaft near the splines where the c clip fits. Its crusty, hard, and split almost like a c clip itself. What is it supposed to be? Where can I get whatever it is. I would like to have this reassembled by the end of...
