    Cam kit suggestions

    Okay.. I have an Edelbrock catalog. They have four cams for my 289. Which makes the most sense? Each one of them has a different duration and lift of course. They have a Performer Plus, a Performer RPM, and a Torker Plus. The fourth is a Hydraulic Roller Cam. That's for 5.0's...

    Cam kit suggestions

    I understand. That's why I was hoping for a cam suggestion that could work with both trans options. The manual will get put in... probably not for another year or two now though. The engine upgrade is probably four years out now. Man... it's too early in the morning to be getting this...

    Can that be narrowed down a bit? I have a manifold.. so I don't need that particular kit.

    Cam kit suggestions

    Alright, what the heck... let's open up a can of worms. I sent ratio411 an email for his two cents privately. But I suppose maybe others would benifit from me asking the entire forum. So here goes... My situation: I want to put in a five speed. My hopes for putting in a five speed...

    Which subframes?

    You guys have consider other peoples fab skills my not be that of your own. Saying it's easy can be mis-leading. Also... some peoples time is worth more than others. An average welder/fabricator may need to spend quit a bit of time to come up with pieces comparable to the TCP set. They may...

    auburn, powertrax, or other?

    You might as well do the bearings and seals while you're at it.

    auburn, powertrax, or other?

    I would describe it as a lower mechanical "click". Not a bang. It just happens on tight driveway/parking lot speed turns. Really not a big deal in my opinion. I've never had a locker such as a Detroit to compare it to though. The clicking actually reminds you that it's functioning.

    auburn, powertrax, or other?

    I have the PowerTrax No-Slip unit. Yeah, she bangs a little bit in the parking lot with a slow turn. So what. It hooks up great and I have to complaints when autocrossing either. I went with the 3.80's. Only on the freeway about 5% of the time. So the gear with the C4 is no big deal...

    just won 18K playing blackjack, what would you spend it on?

    Curious... Do you REALLY want us (total strangers) to tell you how to spend your money? Or are you just bragging you won 18 grand? I would think most of us can't relate to your "problem". But if you are indeed seriously confused maybe you should just put it away for a rainy day. You may one...

    Opinion Please

    You have to remember most of the opinions people will list are what they have done or would like to do if they have the money. The original guys like original. The Eleanor guys will say Eleanor. So I won't be any different.... I say go retro racer!! ie.. 60's Trans Am style. You can't...

    Stock Discs vs. Baer

    My last name isn't Andretti or Foyt... I'll never know how much performance or longevity I'd miss by going with cross drilled as opposed to solid. :) So give me the cool looking ones....

    Stock Discs vs. Baer

    OH MY GOSH!!! I feel like such a VICTIM!! I've been betrayed and bamboozled into thinking my Baer brakes are nothing but bling bling and just not worth it. Ha Ha.... Opinions are like... well ya all know the story. But really, the big cross drilled and slotted rotors ARE alot of show...

    FORD RACING LONGBLOCKS

    Build your own... .if you know how and have the tools. I think the original question is more intended for a person who would rather leave that stuff to the experts. Maybe he's just trying to feel out if Fords engine program is the way to go for him. Sure, they do seem to be costing a bit...

    Opinions please...

    I guess I'm just being sensitive... people constantly ask me about it. And I can quietly here them point out the horrible prep job someone must have done. I just like things done correctly. Don't want to pick up that label of being a "hack". Know what I mean?

    Opinions please...

    I can't stand my paint... It's flawed... one of those "twenty footers". And I can't stand it when people look at it and think that I painted it. It looks like crap. But I'm not in the position financially to do anything about it for a couple of years. I have a 5 speed swap and engine...

    Freakin' MONEY Pit!!!

    Maybe we should clarify that answer.... you'll have PLENTY of power. And depending on how you drive it... you'll feel it. What he probably meant was that the stock C4 is lousy and the rear gear are way too short. Also... more than likely you have an open diff... so you're gonna spin that one...
