    Muffler Hanger ?

    thats the easiest way. most shops would charge $20 to $50 bucks each side... is the mufflers hanging low only or is the whole h pipe AND mufflers low?

    Help Restarting A Motor Sitting For Years

    +1 on the Marvel.. that stuff really works and its not expensive. a gallon would be more than enough for two engines. Like JRICHKER said, youll foul out some plugs so get two sets. reason for pouring it in the cyl holes is to coat the rings and the cyl walls so when you do start it up it lubes...

    Serpentine belt Slippage - motor swap

    they do. i have built alot of chevy small blocks and in my experience i have had alot of hot start issues and some trouble dialing in the idle/fast idle circuits. edlebrock carbs are good for very mild motors out of the box but take a bit of fine tuning... when going to WOT there is alot of...

    Serpentine belt Slippage - motor swap

    it might not be worth much, but i think an e fan will be the easiest/cheapest fix for your set up with out re doing the serp drive set up. as car as your, what model is your carb? i havent done many late model 302 carb set ups, but i do know alot of people over carb the 302's. and depending on...

    Serpentine belt Slippage - motor swap

    watching that vid, the squeal seems to happen when the fan picks up speed and starts to flex. if get rid of that set up for a e fan for the JY or get a clutch fan setup.. i ran my reverse pump the wrong way for a while when i got my first stang and it didnt over heat, just ran hot.. like 3/4's...

    what gear w these cam specs?

    i have 373's in my rear and my car loves it.. when i had my 3.35 T5 first gear went by fast.. after going to a tko3550 w/ a 3.27 first and .68 5th, freeway rpm was better and first gear was better... so.. 373's is prolly not a huge part of your issue.. Lift: .512"/.512" Duration: 281°/281°...

    Diamond racing wheels!

    yea and running -2 ish* camber +1* of tow on directional tires i have been getting tons of inside edge-wear and it sucks. i like how it feels aligned like that. so rotating them would be nice.. another benefit of running 255/50/16 vs. the 255/45/17 is it will make my ride a little bit softer...
