    Pros/cons of a full tub on a foxbody

    I understand how much tire i can fit with a mini...i guess my main question is whats the disadvantage of a full tub? I currently run a 295 on 18x10s with stock tubs...i plan to go with a larger set of tires and lower the car more. Im doing a completely custom setup and i just cant find much...

    Pros/cons of a full tub on a foxbody

    Street/show only. Plan is to put a pretty big wheel/tire combo out back and get it sitting right. Full tubs will allow me more clearance for the taller tire on the fender side than a mini...just wondering if there are any cons to doing this...this is mainly being done for me to fit what i...

    Gas coming out of valve cover breathers?

    I cant drive the car now since it has no rear suspension so just started it and let it run for a few. My reference to the 14.7 was for all of last yr and the year before when i had it tuned. Ive changed nothing mechanically etc. Only drive about 500-1000 miles a year maybe and oil is fresh...

    Gas coming out of valve cover breathers?

    Idle was around 12.5 AFR yesterday...last season it was right in mid 14s when cruising etc and car was running great. Im leaning more towards toolow91s thoughts as it isnt raw fuel but water vapor/condensation that smells of fuel.

    Gas coming out of valve cover breathers?

    Thanks everyone for the input and help. @TOOLOW91 im thinking it is most likely fuel smelling condensation as you described. Dipstick did have a slight fuel smell to it but ive seen that in the past before. I will be changing the oil in the next week or two when i can go get some new oil...

    Clean battery install... need ideas.

    Yes i have the relay in the back...0 ga to starter (hot only when cranking) 8ga with fusible link to distribution block in drivers fender to feed up front power... Battery wiring was designed for the safest street application as i dont plan to race or install a cutoff switch.

    Clean battery install... need ideas.

    Are you keeping the battery in stock location? Whats the purpose of eliminating the starter relay? If u just want to do a wire tuck you can put the starter relay in the fender and tie everything to it like in the original configuration...thats how i originally did it when i first did my wire tuck

    Clean battery install... need ideas.

    IIRC its a taylor box...i custom mounted it in the spare wheel well so it sits level. As far as the wiring yes i run two wires...i spoke with a number of people regarding a safe way to install the battery in the back. If you run a 0 ga wire alone its hot all the time and if it becomes damaged...
