Why do we "ricers" compared ourselfs to the stang so much? Because the majority of drivers for both vehicles are late teens/earlie 20's men for one, so most of us have one type of car and a buddy has the other. Also, the 87-93's re-started the whole muscle car movment IMO, and they were around...

Awsome info. He must have been thinking about the 90* EGR plate thats on the stock explorer manifolds [and 94/95 ones, he has a 95] No I am not using the stock explorer injection. Im selling the wiring harness/DIS ignition [if anyone wants it] and getting a A9 computer and MAF setup from a...

My friend is convinced a 94+ style 302 EFI intake will not fit in a 66 stang. We have a 98 explorer motor Im building and putting in and he says the manifold needs to have the TB coming strait off, no 90* curve.... Anyone know anything about this, or is he full of it?

Well the new motor is on the way. Im doing this for a friend. Currently her 67 has a carb'd 302 w/ c4 tranny. The new motor is a 97+ explorer motor. I know I'll need a distributer, oil pan, and computer. What should I get the computer from? Can I re-use her stock oil pan? I was also told I "will...

Im rebuilding a ford 302 for my friends 66 mustang. It will be a 87-95 5.0 roller motor. I plan on using the stock roller cam+lifters, and another friend has a set of stock e7's ready to run for free so those go on too for now. What I need to do is rebuild the bottem end. Stock crank+rods, rods...

We are having a debate on another board [a v6 site] I thought I read that all cobra motors [4.6 DOHC] had 8 bolt rear flanged, forged cranks. One guy belives only the manual tranny motors got the forged, while the automatic cars got cast cranks. Which is correct?

Every single person I've talkd to with them [except this guy above me :D] has hated it with a passion and removed it within 3months of use. I stay as far away from jacobs as I can. MSD does me just fine, and mallory is good too.

no no, my trucks are bricks on wheels. The 73-87 chevy pickup line that is.

Their turbo's aren't sized right or else they are running huge turbos that need RPM's to spool up and make boost, its one reaons why buick GN guys dont use manaual trannies, they loose too much boost between shifts with their huge turbos.

mechanical EVERYTHING. Thats my .02

maybe Im mistaken but I thought all electric fuel pumps cut off when there is no oil pressure in case of a accendent to keep from pumping all the fuel out a hole somewhere, so just turning the key on should energize the pump but not create pressure?

Because you still made good numbers and not every engine combo makes the same power, even using the same components. You can't expect to dulicate #'s. And it didn't seem like he was bragging to me, more like showing what can be done.

I was hoping it wasen't blow by. Either we give it some more time to seat the new rings [motor only had 60,000miles] or else its time to pull the motor and hone it, then replace the rings again.

When my friend pulls the oil filler cap off his valve cover, white smoke comes out. Its not a huge amount, but its still there. Its a 95 5.0 that has new rings. Any ideas?

Go 2". The lower the better IMO. I drive a truck that tucks the wheels into the well and the front motor cradle is 2" off the ground at least 90miles a day :D

Hey guys. My friend has a 95 5.0 in a 97 v6 stang. He bought the motor complete with all the wiring and computer, and forgot to check what it was from. So now hes running a auto computer in a stick car, and since were trying to iron out some issues we figured this is a goodplace to start. Does...

Your friend is over doing it. Building a stroker is a great idea for a under 3000rpm motor, cause thats where all the torque needs to be and a stroker gives it. Putting AFR heads on is a bad idea though, although Im sure he just thinks hes upping the low end torque. Will he race it at the tract...

We put GT40P's, dual valve springs, and a comp cams hydro roller on my friends 5.0 for under $500. Now gears dont matter, cause torque dosen't care what gears you have :D Ok Im joking a little with a puny 3" stroke and all but still you get the point. He payed $210 out the door for the assmebled...

Just a few general questions. Does this motor respond to bolt ons good [intake, exaust,etc. but NO dam pulleys] Are there any head/cam upgrades out there that dont cost an arm and leg? Can these motors be made to perform ok? I kow they dont do so well in stock form. The stang in question is a...
