    Fuel Carb advice

    So I got my new motor running today and it goes pretty good for the most part. It's a stock 94 shortblock with an E303 cam, Y303 heads, and an old Performer 289 intake, in an old fox with a T5 and 3.73's. The carb is a Holley 4150 series 600 CFM, vac secondaries. I rebuilt it last year and it...

    Engine Question about old GT40y heads

    I've got a stock 94 shortblock with E303 cam. I'm putting on a set of the early aluminium gt40's with 1.94 intake valves and 1.7 rockers. Anyone ever run that setup? Just worried about piston to valve clearance.

    Budget 460 install

    I have a 7.5 with a C6 from an 89 f250, and I want to put it in a 79 mustang. The 79 has a k member and 8.8 from an 89. I went down this road once before, but back then we spent the money for the right headers and motor mounts. I'm mainly wondering if anyone has tried this using the stock...

    Sportsman B50 Two Bolt Block

    Anyone running one of these? I'd like to hear what kind of power people have made with them. I have one bored and stroked to 333 ci, ( 3.25 x 4.040), running 15 psi. with a T-trim, just put the rotating assembly back together after burning up a piston. Think I burned it from running stale...

    Aftermarket Front End Questions

    Today I got a great deal on a front end setup for my 90 GT. I'm 99 percent sure the k- member is a Maxium Motorsports, and I'm wondering if all of there K members use stock front end geometry? I know they offer two different control arm types to change geometry. It has two choices for the...

    Tfi Question

    I'm relocating my TFI to the fender, using a setup from a mid 90's F-series. I have the distributor and the piece of harness that plugs into the stator. My question is about the shielded wiring involved. Is it just there to prevent radio noise, or does it prevent interference with the PIP...

    Progress Thread Nothwoods - Restoration Thread

    I started a major rebuild on my car, I burned a hole through a piston so I figured I'd do some major resto and lightening while I have the motor out. It was already pretty well stripped down to go fast, but I've managed to find another 100 lbs. or so of excess weight. Right now the engine bay...

    B-451 Cam Question

    I have an Anderson Ford B-451 in my 333 stroker, and I just burned up a piston and I'm seriously considering removing the blower and going back to N/A. I'm trying to stick to a tight budget. I'm going to change the pistons from dish to flat top, which will yield about 10.5 compression, and I'm...

    Trunk Mount Battery

    It seems like everyone puts the battery on the right side in the trunk, but wouldn't it make more sense weight-wise to put it on the left to counter some of the torque on launch? Also, are there any rules at the drag strip about trunk mounted batteries on a GT hatch, where it's open to the...

    Crankcase Pressure

    Just wanted to throw this out there before I tear down my motor. I have a t-trim running about 15 psi on a 333ci motor, puts 540 to the wheels, (or used to at least!). Last year it started making lots of pressure in the crankcase, which started with blowing out the oil cap, then got worse...

    How Much Power Will This Make?

    Have an opportunity to buy a project from a friend. Using parts from his car and my car this is what I want to put together: Dart 363, compression ratio will be approx. 8.9, AFR 185cc heads, B-451 Anderson cam, T-trim at approx. 12 psi, (makes 15 psi on a 333), Full length 1 3/4 headers into...

    Msd Troubles

    Hi all, I'm having a problem with my 90 GT and wondering if anyone has seen this. It has an Anderson PMS system, and an MSD 6BTM, and Vortech t-trim running about 15 psi. For many years this all worked great and was super reliable, but now it keeps burning up TFI modules. Other than the 6BTM...
