why do you need to take the gears out? you're powder coating the *outside* right? have the rear-end shop swap your gears for you, I'd leave 'em in for now.

at 2 or 3 thousand rpms from a 28# or so flywheel the snout of the input shaft doesn't stand a chance in hell

in my opinion the details of the individuals plans are where the difference in the $$$ lies, but too many a ford enthusiast foregoes the 351 route fearing that it is "too complicated" or requires "too many swap parts". Only real reason against it is the 80# addition to the nose, and the...

that's worse than mine was before I spent about 4-6 hours cleaning it up. I'd send it back for something with the "edelbrock" name on it.

I was able to use the old seal reversed to tap the new one in without issues.

how crazy do you want to get? any aftemarket head will make incredible gains over E7's on a well setup blown application.

It works, is dyno proven, and one could easily install a thermocouple in the IAT sensor (lower intake next to #5 runner on fox cars) to prove it, but please, don't ice your intake for my benefit.

no it works perfectly, but unless you break the ceramic off it probably won't fit in between the firewall and your head.

does the formula PV=nRT mean anything to you? Solve for temperature and the number of moles (molecules) in a given volume is directly dependent on temperature. And it's not 90 degrees for the upper intake in the summer. Try closer to 200-240 when running in the summer, possibly a little...

I always heard .36 for the GT, .38 for the LX hatch, and .40 for the coupe, I'm sure the 'verts are all 0.40+ regardless GT/LX.

not much more than a typical car, if you're comfortable with the inevitable water pump replacement every 60-80k miles, the shortblock is probably good for 200k miles with regular oil changes, and the annoying things will possibly get to you, like the rear main seal around 100k miles, timing...

Have you developed the skills to run back-back runs within a hundredth or so of eachother given equal track/weather conditions? Have you ever put your hand on an upper intake that has been iced with a garbage bag full of ice (say 5+ lbs) on a hot summer day? Have you ever compared that to...
