    building my 351w

    I didn't realize rod ratio played into what type of gas you needed ? I always thought it was determined by your compression ratio and how much timing advance you run.

    Need some parts help

    For performance 2.3L parts, check out Esslinger or Racer Walsh. Do some EBay searches using "Ford 2300" or "ministock" and you should come up with some 2.3L performance stuff also.

    2.3 head shaving

    From what I have been told, milling the head to just below the lowest intake bolt holes will yield around 12:1 compression. As cams go, you already have a factory roller cam, so if you can find an old Ford Motorsport A237 camshaft, that will go right in it's place as it is made for the roller...

    does this hp/tq to the tires look low for the combo

    Your GT40s are probably what is restricting you on your engine build but also at the same time I would have thought that you would have gained more off the 125 shot...I would have thought something more in the 90-100 rwhp

    HELP ASAP!

    Tamperproof torx bits. A T20 is the right size IIRC. All of your better parts stores (and most of the crappy ones too) will have them. Just be sure they're TAMPERPROOF. Good luck.

    Sheet Metal - Original Tooling

    Doesn't exist. Can't get an OE tooling trunklid, or OE tooling quarters either. Fenders, hoods, taillight pannels, valence, gravel pans are availible. They aren't perfect.
