    Meanest mufflers for a 408 stoker?

    I'm installing a 408 stoker in my 68 stang. It has a cam with over .600 lift so it should thump pretty good. My current exhaust system is a custom bent 2-1/2" pipe with x-pipe and dual 40 series flowmasters dumped out back. I want an exhaust system that will sound mean as hell and be as loud...

    How much will a stock driveshaft handle?

    I have a 68 mustang coupe with a stock driveshaft and I was wondering what would be the torque limit for that shaft. I am running a 408W stroker with a C4 and a 9" with 4.11 gears. I also run MT ET Streets. I would estimate the torque well above 500 ft/lbs currently.

    Ported 351W heads vs. Aftermarket

    I had wrote in a previous thread that I was building a 10 sec 68 mustang and that my engine builder is using stock 1971 351W heads and is polishing and porting them. He is increasing the valve size I assume (I don't know the specifics). Some of you spoke of some concern that it is not possible...

My engine builder tells me that pre 1970 C4's are junk and I need to get a 70's C4 to handle the power because of the bigger input shaft...

    How to get rid of smoke odor in interior

    I was using a cutting torch under my car and a few sparks some how made its way into the interior and caught the backseat's padding on fire. I didn't notice it right away until the interior filled with smoke. There isn't any fire damage, just smoke damage. I stripped my interior and I'm going to...
