    Weld 15" front runners with tires

    These are 15x5", and they have 205/70 Hankook tires with a ton of tread left. They weigh 35.5lbs with the tires, and they are Mustang & Chevy bolt pattern - 5x4.5 & 5x4.75, 3.5" backspacing. I know they may be a pound or two heavier than the typical 15x3.5's, but they are MUCH better for...

    Is this a stock firewall adjuster?

    I have a Tremec 3550, but I wasnt the owner when it was installed. I had assumed it had an adjustable clutch cable, but it appears as though it is stock. I cant find any adjusting nuts. The reason I ask is because it has become really hard to shift from a stop and I think the cable is either...

    Crane HI6S igntion box & Crane LX92 coil

    Crane HI6 Ignition Box & Crane LX92 Ignition Coil. The coil has maybe 5 miles on it and 10 minutes of idle time. I purchased it from Summit for $73.90 (including handling). The ignition box is 100% working condition, and looks just about brand new. I bought it to see if my current...

    Is my distributor in wrong? (pic included)

    I have been chasing a misfire and have replaced the following parts: - Spark plugs - Cap & Rotor - Spark plugs The distributor is brand new, and is a OEM unit (not MSD). Since I've owned the car the cap has always been turned 180* from what the letters say. Now, my tuner did adjust...

    Got my 347 dyno'd (but still got some issues)

    Thats what my car laid down today. HOWEVER, we were not able to get it to pull past ~4700, as I have a pretty decent misfire. The cam is spec'd to have peak hp @ 6k, so it should be pretty easily into the 410-425 whp range once I get the misfire figured out. The combo is as follows...

    Quick rev vid of my finally completed Cobra

    Well its been nearly 2 years since I lifted a head at the drag strip (while running 11.8 @ 120mph :nono:). I switched combos from supercharged to high compression n/a. The reason for this was because my block isnt strong enough for 500+rwhp reliably, and I want fast + reliable. The...

    Stainless Works mufflers

    I know I know, another muffler question. Hoiwever, I have searched for two days and couldnt find much of any comments/clips/opinions on these mufflers. Here's a cutaway : How do you guys think these will sound versus a normal baffled Flowmaster or Magnaflow? Any other more common...

    Will 351 headers work on a 302?

    I found a set of mid-lengths local that will work with my combo great, but they are designed for 351 in a foxbody. Any idea if these will work at all in a 95 Cobra with 347?

    Intake inlet, open it up?

    I'm trying to save a couple bucks on my intake purchase (planned on TFS-R (non box) 90mm inlet. However, this is nearly impossibly to find aftermarket, and if I can find the intake it is the 75mm inlet. I am getting a 90mm TB so obviously I want the 90mm inlet. How realistic is it to...

    HP limit of stock fuel rails?

    I am planning on making 400-425rwhp N/A with a high compression 347 setup. I have stock rails right now, with 36lb injectors, 255lph Walbro fuel pump, and Aeromotive FRP. I dont WANT to have to spend $400+ on rails and fittings, but I will if I have to. Either way I will be getting...

    S-trim 347 or high compression all engine 347?

    Just throwing this out there for discussion. I have a B50 block with 8.5:1 pistons that needs refreshening. I am about to tear it out, put in new bearings, de-glaze the cylinders, and put on a fresh set of heads. Then I'll turn up the boost and go for 10's. OR, should I sell the s-trim, and...

    What rockers for Victor Jr heads?

    I have set my mind on buying a new set of Victor Jr's this winter. I am rebuilding the shortblock and want to make sure everything is SOLID for alot of miles. I dont want to reuse the Crane/Cobra rockers, but I also cant afford $500 for rockers. I have been looking at Harland Sharp, Comp, and...

    Head options for 347/S-Trim

    I need to get new heads. My ported RPM's are kinda messed up and not worth fixing. I dont want to downgrade but I dont want to go too big since I dont have a Dart block (I have a B50 Sportsman). What do you guys think of these choices? - Victor Jr's - TFS Highport - AFR 185 (or 205) - TFS...

    At a crossroad, need advice

    Here's the deal, I blew the HG on my Cobra a month or so back and am getting down to the point of fixing it. I was making ~450hp, and it ran 11.8 @ 120mph before breaking, so it ran pretty good I thought for only 11psi on a S-Trim. Its a 347 with a B50 block, girdle, and forged internals...

    Alright help me diagnose if the HG went

    Just drained the oil & coolant. The oil was pretty dark, which is odd since I just put fresh stuff in 3 days ago. It wasnt foamy, but it was a little cloudy. I also saw a nice glimmer of sparkles, so I;m hoping those sparkles arent the remainder of my bearings. :nonono: Plus the oil...

    11.8 @ 120mph, then some bad news

    Finally got the Cobra to the track today. It ran pretty well, except for the coolant reservoir tube blowing off and sending coolant all over my engine. It made for a nice steam/smoke show for a minute or two till I figured it out. All of my passes were within 118-120mph, but my 11.8 came...

    S-Trim guys in here please

    My installer told me that I wouldnt be able to use my already installed Autometer Oil Pressure Gauge with the Vortech since the pickup was used by the blower?? Is there any other way to get the gauge to work? Also, how much moaning from my SQ should I hear? Its brand new, and I know the...
