    Headers with X-Pipe or H-Pipe?

    A friend of mine and I both have tri-y headers, h-pipe and flowmaster 40s. He has a hipo 289 in his gt350 fastback and it sounds deep. I have a stock 289 and it sounded good at idle and good while driving but not as loud as his. To me, they gave the true muscle car sound. Mine will be louder...

    What is this part called?

    Not the oil pressure sending unit, but the bar that it is attached to that screws into the block? I can't think of its name or locate one anywhere.

    $750 strictly for the stang..

    After talking to some friends and checking out other forums I plan on waiting before I do anything until this motor is 100% done. Only thing slowing this build down is this guy who hasn't given me my stuff! Heck, I haven't even thought about electric fans, ignition, plumbing, even a carburetor...

    $750 strictly for the stang..

    I ditched the drag radials for some bfg street tires. I forgot I got new rims since the other ones didn't fit. I am thinking about doing the most expensive thing first.. I'm guessing building up the transmission?
