    Paul, thanks for the tips. Is the compression hose clamp and the pliers you used something you could take or find a picture of (or a link to)? Just so I or others have an idea of what to look for, buy, rent. Thanks, Ryan

    1995 Cobra... 331, Vortech, TKO, Griggs and more!

    I appreciate the offer but I'm not really interested. And I completely agree... you can't beat the sound of a good old pushrod motor! I had a KB'd Terminator before this car and while it was fast and I did like the car it sure didn't sound as good as this one.

    1995 Cobra... 331, Vortech, TKO, Griggs and more!

    SOLD!!! I'm putting my 1995 Cobra up for sale. It is a relatively low mileage car (87k), has never been wrecked and overall is in great shape. I can email you the CarFax from when I bought it (just shy of a year ago) to verify the mileage and no wreck history. It will also show that before I...

    Opinions on running this truck lower...

    Well that is kind of why I started this post... I'm not sure anything. But I wasn't sure if this ported truck lower differed much from the Systemax lower. If it has significantly smaller runners or they aren't as straight etc I didn't want to spend the money on nicer heads just to have the...

    Opinions on running this truck lower...

    I don't know who did the port work. The guy I bought the car from I think had them done some where out in CA. They seem to make decent power but I believe they're a bottle neck up top in my combo.

    Opinions on running this truck lower...

    It's a sportsman B50 with a girdle. Suppose to be good to 550-600 rwhp but as is usually the case that depends on how well everything is balanced, put together and tuned. I'm comfortable pushing it to 550. It is 90% street car and may see the drag strip twice a year and possible an HPDE event...

    Opinions on running this truck lower...

    Kurt, Thanks for the input. One note though, I'm already running forced induction (Si-trim Vortech) with approximately 12 psi of boost. My hope would be if getting AFR heads to increase power to at least 550 rwhp at the same boost level or possibly go up in power (whatever amount) and have...

    Opinions on running this truck lower...

    Let me start by saying the car came with all of these components on it which is why I am kind of lost as to what all has been done, why, etc. But I popped a head gasket last weekend. So I've pulled the heads (ported/polished GT40X) off and I am weighing my options as whether or not to replace...

    Brakes Complete Disassembly/Reassembly Of Rear Calipers (w/ Integrated Parking Brake)...

    Well I got it all finished up last night, had the wife help me bleed the brakes and finally put her back on the ground! It was good to drive it again (I even took her to work today). Everything seemingly functions fine; the rears haven't locked up, not functioned or sprayed fluid everywhere...

    Brakes Complete Disassembly/Reassembly Of Rear Calipers (w/ Integrated Parking Brake)...

    It can be done!!! :) Just takes a lot of patience, perseverance and a little bit of luck, lol. I didn't take any pics with this side b/c I wasn't sure it was going to happen but I will update the post with my "how to re-assemble" once I've done the other side (hopefully tomorrow and hopefully...

    Brakes Complete Disassembly/Reassembly Of Rear Calipers (w/ Integrated Parking Brake)...

    FINALLY got the calipers back from the powder coater. They were worth the wait though, they look awesome! I only re-assembled the fronts tonight (it was too late and I was too tired to mess with the rears) but I took a couple quick pics... I had the brackets powder coated black too while...

    Brakes Complete Disassembly/Reassembly Of Rear Calipers (w/ Integrated Parking Brake)...

    Thanks for the info on the honing stone/tool Kurt. After the stuff comes back from the powder coater I plan on inspecting both the inside of the caliper and the pistons in more detail. If I see anything that looks or feels odd then I might look into that tool. As for the rebuild kit, if it is...

    Brakes Complete Disassembly/Reassembly Of Rear Calipers (w/ Integrated Parking Brake)...

    Well it won't be getting honed. I believe most just take some fine sand paper or emory cloth and clean off any build up on the side of the piston and maybe inside the bore. We'll see how it goes.

    Brakes Complete Disassembly/Reassembly Of Rear Calipers (w/ Integrated Parking Brake)...

    Well I have yet to find a single post on any Mustang forum about taking these puppies apart so I figured I would take some pics and post up. And there is probably a reason for this... they're going to be a bitch to get back together and secondly you can buy new ones for a reasonable price...

    Anybody ever run two IN-TANK GSS340 pumps?

    Thanks Rick. I replied in my other post with some info. I hadn't ever heard of running this type of setup on a return style system either which is why I wanted to see how if anyone else had personal experience with it. I'm not even sure if two pumps attached to the stock fuel hat would...
