    Vortech Boost Controller Box

    I just picked up a used Vortech S1 supercharger kit. It came with a Boost Controller box that looks like an MSD ignition box. I already have MSD ignition but I don't think this Boost Controller has the same function. I understand this box retards timing with boost but my questions are: 1...

    Help identifying heads

    I just acquired a set of heads that the previous owner that were Trick Flow Twisted Wedge but I don't recognize them. The only markings I can find say "SN9517-3" on one and "SN9524-3" on the other and both have "Varner" punched into the rear of the head. Chambers are definitely wedge-shaped...

    Convertible Top Question

    If you put a new top on a convertible, do you need to change the headliner at the same time or can that be added any time later?

    Vert #3

    I started with red, then went black, and now I just picked up a grey vert. Never had a red interior before and never really cared for them but I think this one just looked good with the grey and red molding stripe. She's bone stock except for a bbk cai and chrome cobra R's. Still has the cats...

    So Sad.....

    Yesterday after work when I went out into the parking lot there was a big ol' puddle under the foxbody. I stuck my finger in it only to find what I dredded most: motor oil. A quick inspection under the car revealed the culprit. Something inside the oil pan hit the oil pan wall and put a big...

    Center Console Door

    So it's not easy finding a new center console door for our cars. I have been on the backorder list for one for a couple months and its still going to be months before I get one. Has anyone seen any slick ideas to at least cover the hole? It really makes my interior look incomplete and trashy...

    Gen3 Alternator Upgrade

    So, I've read some good articles and got some advice from StangNet about upgrading to the Gen3 alternator. I purchased and installed one on to my car only to find that someone had previously tampered with the wiring for the originial alternator. The white w/black stripe wire is cut about 1...

    Belt route

    Okay, so this may sound like a real bonehead move but when I pulled the belt off my engine I didn't pay attention to how the belt was routed and now I can't figure out how it goes. :nonono: Does anyone have a diagram or can explain how it is supposed to go? It's a 89 5.0L. AC delete, no...

    Oil pump installation Q

    I got my engine back from the machine shop yesterday and began installing components this evening. The shop did most the disassembly for me so I didn't get to personally take of many of the parts.... including the oil pump. They gave me a new pump and pickup. Where does the stick thing go? I...

    Can injectors be TOO big??

    I'm about to put my new 306 back in my car and have put 30# injectors in it. There haven't been too many mods: GT40 heads, Ecam, 65mm TB. Will the injectors just not be fully utilized in my application or will they actually decrease performance because they are too big? Can injectors be TOO BIG?

    Engine done today!!

    Hoorah! The engine shop just called and said that my new 306 is getting its balance right now. They expect to have it assembly and ready for me later today or early tomorrow at the latest. Probably take a day or two to get it back in the Fox and then I'll post some pics up for everyone. Ahh...

    Rubber vs Poly vs Solid Motor Mounts

    The rubber mounts on my car are pretty rough looking and since the motor is already out, I'm thinking I may as well change them before I put the motor back in (ET next week). Rubber ones seem to be less susceptible to weather (Michigan has some rough weather for sure), poly seem to be a bit...

    3G Alternator

    Anyone have thoughts on upgrading to the 3G alternator? Is it really that necessary? The only extra electronic equipment I have in my car is a CD player and soon-to-be electric fan....

    Fuel Injector Size Selection

    I have a 89 5.0 with GT40 heads, x-cam, and 19# injectors. How big an injector can I go while still being advantageous. Is there any other tuning or programming needed if I upgrade?
