no emmissions, so thats a good thing, basically im going to carbueration because i like the mechanical feel and sound it has-but more importantly i did do a plug check on it after about a month of running and they looked fairly good very light tan--almost white, then i put them back in and...

yeah, i was hoping for low 13s to mid 13s as is--the heads r probably choking it up a lot more than i originally thought--afr 185s sound like a good choice to me to-and if i remember correctly, theres not a piston to valve clearance problem like some others out there, uhh and im pretty sure the...

88 hatch lx dropped 2 in...............well i just got back from the byron dragstrip and the timeslip was 13.7 at 99.7 with a 2.1 60 ft- (keep in mind the motor was barely broke in and i wheel hopped all the way through 1st) -5-speed--the motor has 4000 miles on it---9.8:1 compression-- its a...

i guess the question is too specific, wheres thumper when u need him?

ok i think u guys are missing a very important point--in my opinion the 351 block is fundamentaly superior to the 302 block--dont get me wrong i still love 302s--but the deck height on a 302 is...correct me if im wrong but 8.2 in.--the 351 is either 9.2 or 9.5 --u have that much more room for a...

well i hate to get into this but my buddy has an sti with just an aftermarket blow off valve, and at the track his best was a 13.3 with a passenger .....but his worst was a 14.6 so i could see u beating him if he had a bad launch and didnt know how to shift properly.....

WOW I WAS JUST READING THROUGH THE POSTS AND SORRY TO USE THE WORD "GURU" -LIKE 10 OTHER POSTS HAVE GURU IN EM ...LOL-------------to start off, i have an 85' gt auto, with the mods below excluding an hei dizzy. heres the deal i have a holley 600 vacuum secondaries and its set up fairly well(i...

wow from what it sounds like your only problem is that A. try not to race with any passengers(100 pounds is equal to 1/10th in the 1320)--- B.Traction, which you already know---and 3rd and finally C.you know your car better than any of us, so if you havnt already... learn to read your plugs, if...

as long as you are using a fuel return off your fuel regulator its fine, you probably already know, but you just set your fuel pressure where you want it and the 8 psi or whatever goes to your carb and the excess goes right back to your tank. good luck with it :nice:

well,well,well so i took a break to regather my thoughts, and my thoughts led me to my battery posts... and well it turns out i made a mistake i NEVER thought would happen, yep u guessed it --being the master mechanic i am, i completed a power circuit right through my coil by touching the power...

dammit!!! i already wrote this out but it *****ING erased it! o.k so i got an hei dizzy from jegs and it did not come with any instructions so i assumed that the red wire was power and the black wire is ground and the brown wire was tach, so i hooked up the red wire to the thich wire coming off...

well, although i dont have the lentech valvebody, i do have the Art Carr manual valve body, and when i shift to the next gear, the shifter just barely gets into the next gear, and slam! tires chirp and u get a case of whiplash. umm i dont know how mechanically inclined you are, but did u check...

.002-.006 :nice:

alright -wow, thanx for all the help everybody, uh i think im going to get a mild cam(still flat tappet)and of course new lifters, 1.7 roller rockers-and probably some chromoly pushrods-and a set of twisted wedge heads. ive got 2500 to spend right now, so im pretty excited on how everything is...

cool-well since im getting a new motor for my mustang, ill leave it flat tappet for now and put some 1.7 roller rockers on(can i do that?)-what do i have to look out for when buying heads for this non roller motor?---i just read on a different post on here that you have to have stiffer springs...

when you say almost closed, what is almost closed? an 1/8 of an inch-maybe a 1/16 of an inch, just want to know for future reference -by the way this is one of the better procedures ive heard of. thanx in advance

ohhh alphabet cams , O.K -very cool, and uh unfortunately for me , i have a CFI car converted to carb. so will the "alphabet" cams work with flat tappet or do i just have to specify that the cam will not be for a roller motor. if there is one thing i would like to know more about, it would be...

well thank you all for the responses, um as long as i can cross the line in 3rd i will stick with the 4.10s --and another good point, i can raise the tire height to gain some mph if i have too. oh and as far as how often i will drive it--any day i can, i didnt buy a mustang too look at it(well...

thats pretty cool but im not genious enough to figure what my top speed is in Drive not OD, but wait a minute you also have an auto and stated that you are installing 4.10 gears so are you going to be able to run the quarter with out hitting OD?

so u think 3.90s huh, thats too bad because i really wanted 4.10s well anyway thanx for the reply
