    stupid BG tech support

    Ok, so I was reading Mustang & Fords earlier this evening and I reached an artice about carb selection. Well I read it and a kid asked about a carb for supercharging. They said, "Now for your question concerning a supercharger for your car--there is a charger available for cars with...

    Boyd's show

    These guys are hot rod guys.....they don't fix up engines, they don't have the patience or imagination to make an original looking or hopped up original motor. They don't think about selecting engine internals at all. The most in depth they get is probably selecting the block, or bolting on a...

    Fuel tank sending unit?

    70 22 Gallon Tank Jester67, I have a new '70 22 gallon tank at the powdercoaters right now. I wasn't happy with the finish so they are re-coating it for me. I have a 65 Mustang and I was going to retrofit the tank into my car, but I found out I can't. I'm running an Aeromotive A1000 pump...

I bought a Trans Am Racing system and it is top notch, although I haven't road tested it yet. I'm also aware of two kits offered through National Parts Depot, with a model that...

    TTII or Magnum 500 Prices?

    Snail50 - Thanks for your help....your idea about calling local vendors listed on AR's website is great. So far the best deal I found was from Mustangs Plus, they have 17x8 TTII with the proper backspacing for $995.00. I've seen the 16x8 TTII in the Summit catalog for $209 each, but they don't...

    TTII or Magnum 500 Prices?

    I'm in the market for some new rims and tires. Money is an issue... Right now I have so 14 inch Magnum 500. I don't really want to throw money into 14 inch rims for new tires, I'd rather have something bigger. I can't seem to find any used 15 inch Magnum 500s either, and I figured if I found...

    Header Testimonials....Header Chart??

    Cbarton - Thanks for the advice...I've found a few places locally that can build a custom set of headers. Right now my main concern is the cost. I am eventually going to build a custom Tri-Y design with components selected from Burns Stainless. I had them run a header analysis with all my...

    Header Testimonials....Header Chart??

    GP001 - Thanks for the reply...I've had your website saved in my favorites for a few years now. Your headers look great now with the coating. How much did it cost if you don't mind me asking? I'm local to the company (LA)and I figured it might be better to invest money in their coating versus...

    Header Testimonials....Header Chart??

    Ok, I was going to build some custom headers so I wouldn't have to deal with header fittment problems and lack of performance, but right now my budget won't allow me to go custom and still finish my project. Basically my engine made 563hp, so I need the most aggressive header I can fit, but...

    hp gains in 331 and 289 motors

    Well the power gain depends mostly on the heads, cam, and exhaust you pick; that is where all the power lies. If you're going to spend a bunch of money on a stroker, you're probably serious about making more power, so you might as well take advantage of the extra cubes. Get your heads and...

    Sell and buy new or just keep it?

    XO-I like your new idea, and I think you've already convinced yourself to do it because you've thought about almost every aspect of the project by now. I liked the idea about taking the engine out of your Grande and putting a beater in the car too--sonds better to sell seperate unless you find...

    Looking for some Headers!

    Edbert--Thanks for the reply. You're headers look just about like what I'm looking for. They hang down a bit, but not too much below the frame rails. So do you have any problems with changing the plugs? The only other consideration was the P/S drop bracket right? They seem pretty reasonably...

    Looking for some Headers!

    Sorry Sooo Long Sorry everyone for not replying earlier, I was without internet access for the last three weeks. I think I've decided to just get some cheap headers that will fit for now. I don't want to have to cut any holes in the engine bay at this point either unless I had some...

    Looking for some Headers!

    Engine Eye Candy Edbert - No kidding, 562HP, that’s exactly why I can’t afford some custom headers!!!! LOL. I’m positive my engine needs some custom headers to maximize performance....in fact all performance motors do. I’ve been doing a lot of research about custom headers and I found a...
