    351W Longtube Headers with C4?

    Hey guys, I searched for a bit, but was not able to obtain a clear answer. I have a friend with a 418W based 351W stroker and he wants to switch to longtubes for his setup. I'm aware of the 1 3/4" Hooker and BBK options, but it seems that they state they only fit around the bellhousing of the...

    2003 Explorer ECM Question?

    Hey guys, I know a few on here work at Ford dealerships as technicians, so I had a quick off topic question. My stepfather owns a 2003 Ford Explorer (Base 4door, 4x4, 4.0l V6, AT, non-Sport Trac). Long story short, one morning it decided not to crank whatsoever yet all the instrument cluster...

    Bah! I think i ****ed up my lower intake install...

    Well, I was rushing while doing my street heat lower intake install, and based on reading, instead of choosing just one option, I ended up using a ****load of RTV on the end rails and in the corners, but also used the cork end pieces on top of the RTV, and then making sure everything was sealed...

    Is this the right pushrod length?

    Hey guys, checking out the pushrod length on my new setup. It's just a stock deck 302 with non-milled ported GT40 cast iron heads along with a xe270hr (.512 lift ex/in) comp cams camshaft. Anyways, the picture is hard to see but when I use permanent marker on the valve stems, and rotate the...

    Bolt sizes for accessory brackets?

    Finally getting to the point where I can drop my new motor in the 94 GT roller I bought, but I do not have bolts :(. I managed to get most of the bolt sizes for everything, but there is one more dilemma. Do any of you know the size of the bolts that bolt the alternator bracket, power steering...

    PTV clearance on stock 94GT shortblock

    I'm running a set of ported GT40's (non-p's) (never milled, nothing like that) with a Comp Cams xe270hr-14 camshaft (.512 lift intake/exhaust). Will I be alright to run Crane/Ford Cobra 1.7 rockers or you think that would be too much lift for the piston to valve clearance with the stock...

    Camshaft Dowel?

    Hey guys, I bought a used Comp Cams XE270HR-14 cam for my 94, but realized it never came with any dowel pin to align with the gear on the timing chain. Can I just use the dowel pin from the stock cam I pulled out? If so, how the hell do I get it out without scoring the **** out of it with...

    Question about 19lb Injectors?

    Hey guys, wondering if the stock 19lber's could handle this mild combo I put together N/A wise or will I need some 24's? Eventually I will be going nitrous most likely and thats where 30lber's would probably come in handy... Anyway here is the motor I put together as follows: Ported GT40...

    Lower gasket for Street Heat?

    Hey guys, I ordered the TFS Street Heat from Summit and from what it looks like, the kit only comes with the upper to lower gasket. Anyway, does anyone know what gasket matches up to the Street Heat's lower? I bought a gasket kit for a Cobra/GT40 intake swap awhile back, which I was just about...

    Oh ****...

    Yeah so I took the dash out so I could replace the A/C evaporator core in my 94GT project. Anyway, everything went smooth, put everything back together and well, I just tried out all the electronics in the car. Let's see, my window switches and locks work backwards. The lights in the interior...

    Found a connector on the ground :(?

    Hey guys, I noticed a plug from the harness which was unattached from the harness (guessing an animal ate through the wires, considering most of the harness is dangling towards the ground because my 94 GT is awaiting a motor swap). Anyways, I tried looking at wiring diagrams, but can't...

    Stock rockers?

    Hey guys, I've been debating, I'm going to be running the comp cams xe270hr-14 with my gt40p motor and see many posts saying that roller rockers are a minimal gain in power especially for the price. This cam is for use with 1.6 rockers and because the stock oem rockers are 1.6 ratio, should I...

Based...

    A/C guys quick general question?

    Well I finally took the dash and the heater assembly out and split the heater box open to replace the evaporator core. Now I remember reading awhile back on some random forum that someone "oiled" their new evaporator core before they installed it? Do I have to do this or can I just plop the...

    hey guys, i have been doing a lot of research for this explorer motor i'm going to be putting in my 94 GT. from looking at countless setups, it seems as if the comp cams xe270hr has made some amazing numbers with the GT40p setup (although there are very few setups running this cam ironically)...

    Quick Question about TREX fuel pump?

    Hey guys, quick question. My 94 has a trex pump running along with the stock fuel pump from vortech. The car used to be blown and I do have intentions of supercharging the car in the future, but for right now I'm going to be running a GT40P motor in the car N/A for right now. My question is...

    A/C Evaporator Question

    Quick question, I just bought a 94 GT off of a guy and he took the liberty of cutting the A/C evaporator lines at the firewall when he did his A/C removal and basically ****ed them up completely in doing so, because he didn't want to buy the A/C quick disconnect tool. Anyway, this means that I...

    GT40 351W intake question

    Hey guys, quick question. My friend has a 351w in his stang with a gt40 lower and a downs box upper. He wants to get rid of the upper for a better low end, but doesn't feel like buying a whole new setup. I was curious, will the regular 5.0 GT40 uppers, fit onto a GT40 lower for a 351w? It is...
