Hello again, I was wondering if anyone knew the torque spec for arp head bolts for a 351w? I'm using 10w-30 motor oil instead of their lube and these are the 6 point/170,000 psi hp head bolts. I searched for hours on the web but can only turn up info on the 7/16" bolts. On arps site they say...

Ok I ordered a set of summit brand piston rings and the top gap is .028!?!?!?! I know there's nothing wrong with the bore it's a fresh .060 overbore on a 351w block. I had a set of speed pro cast iron rings that I messed up a few oil control rings because I was using a old adj. ring...

Hello again, I'm going to make my own custom side exhaust for my 95 gt. I'm going to cut and fit various mandrel bends and clamp it all in place where it needs to be. Afterwards I'll take it and have someone weld all the seams up for me so I don't have a bunch of leaks. I have a set of old 2...

Hello again I wanted to get some opinions on the gear pattern I'm getting. This is a set of frpp 3.73 gears that were in my 95 gt for a few years and I just rebuilt the whole rear end. I was getting a pattern just a little bit on the low side at first so I installed a .002" thinner pinion shim...

Hi, I just completely rebuilt my wc-t5. I replaced all bearings, synchros and all three sliders. I shifted it into each gear and it worked fine. With the tailshaft flush against the case and the bolts only finger tight I can turn the input shaft. But as soon as I tighten it down a little...

I bought a replacement electric fan motor for the radiator fan. I took the clip off the motor shaft and expected the fan blades would just slide off but that did not happen at all. I tried tapping it off but it appears to be pressed on to the motor shaft. I looked around but could only turn...

Hi I'm getting close to the end(knock on wood) of doing a total rebuild and a mild 351w swap on my 95 gt. It had 250k+ miles on it and it was my first car and I made a few mistakes at first when I didn't know much about working on cars. I can remember one major episode when I was messing with...

Hi, I had a pilot bearing come apart on me while I tried to use the slide hammer to remove it. Tried various chisels to try and pry it out but that thing wasn't budging after hours of trying:bang:. I then used a dremel(I know maybe a bad idea) and cut notches all around the outside shell of...

Hi, I'm replacing the 1 piece rear main seal on a 351w I'm swapping into my 95 gt. The otc 7786 tool is $100 something bucks so I'd like to avoid having to buy it. My first question is is there a simple homemade tool or method for ensuring the seal is driven to the correct depth and not...

Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me out and let me know what size and length bolts I need for my timing cover and water pump. When I took the 5.0 apart in 05' my dumbass misplaced the timing cover and water pump bolts. I can't find anyone selling a kit and already read about how the arp...

Had the heads off my 351w rebuilt. When I got them back all the valves were mixed up in a box? I thought they had to go back where came correct? They put new valve guides on the exhaust but said the intakes didn't need anything which struck me as a little odd.

Hi, I'm about to rebuild the t5 out of my 95 gt. I found the manual on tremecs website and ordered a rebuild dvd from Badshoe productions(one for the t5 and 8.8" rear). Ken from Badshoe productions sent a pdf file that had a list of neccessary tools and one of them was a "bearing race...

I have a friend who has a almost brand new 3 row radiator thats for a 96 mustang gt and can sell it to me cheap. I want to put it in my 95 gt that I'm swapping a 351w into. I figure I'll need extra cooling capacity since the 351w was just bored over .060. The dimensions are the same and the...

Hello everybody, I bought a 2000 cobra r style hood from abc hoods and it came with some vauge instructons that said something about drilling out to rivets and moving the latch up because the fiberglass hood is thicker than the stock hood. Does anybody know what their talking about and could...

Is this a doable idea? Machine shop is a 2hr drive so that's why i'm wondering. Can I sandwich the rod between 2 steel plates and heat it evenly with a torch? Maybe heat it in a oven to 500 F first and freeze the wrist pins? Or is that not a good idea? Thanks for any help

I took a 351w to a machine shop a while back to be rebuilt so I could throw it in my 95 gt and I'm starting to think I got shafted. The motor sat in my garage for a while after getting it back from the machine shop while I was saving up money for the rest of the rebuild. They said they rebuilt...

Hello, sorry if this the wrong forum for my question. I'm about to pull my 95 gt into my garage and paint it. I was gonna use some carbon air scrubbers to remove the smells produced by automotive paint. It's a 500cfm 8" centrifugal fan and a 3ft long 1ft wide activated carbon filled air...

About to yank out the t5 on my 95 gt before swapping a 351w in. Already have the 300$ master rebuild kit and a summit input shaft bearing retainer on the way. The transmission still shifted into all of its gears last time I drove on it and wasn't popping out of any gears on its own. Sometimes...

Anyone know if a upper intake manifold from a 86-93 5.0HO has the same bolt pattern(interchangeable) as a upper intake from a sn95? I'm buying a adaptor for fitting my sn95 upper intake to a 351w I'm sticking in my 95gt. Its sold on BC Broncos for 100$ and says it allows a 5.0HO upper to mate...

Hello again, is torque plate honing really a necessity for power levels between 4-500hp. Its my stock 351w I just rebuilt and since the motor was only ran for about 3 hours I just wanna slap a good set of hyp. pistons in. Was going to toss it in my 95, throw a 70-72mm turbo on and be done with...
