I am putting a tubular K-member in my car over X-mas break and wanted everyones opinions on the best strut for Street 80% & Strip 20%. I will be putting 350-365 rwhp to the ground and running drag radials. The Strange struts have ten adjustment levels and the Tokico Illumina has 5 adjustments...

Okay what is the best (not necessarily the prettiest) cold air intake system out there for an N/A 347 with 77mm pro-m and 70mm bbk throttle body? Is fenderwell style better or straight with conical filter? I have the straight old style black plastic pro-m tube with conical filter but it looks to...

I know I probably have a vacuum leak as my lower to upper gasket on the intake had a tear in it. My question is , where is the best place to take a vacuum reading and what kind of numbers should I have when there is no leak? I have two ports after the throttle body on the intake I can tap into...

Well I know with better launch technique this would be alot better, but I think its more the MPH that has me stumped. 60ft= 1.980 1/4= 13.33 MPH= 107.1 I thought I would be closer to 111-113 mph and even with the slow 60 foot I figured I could bust into the 12's. Am I expecting too much...

I bought a shift light the other day to try and make my shifts at the track more consistent and was wanting to confirm the correct hookup. I know where the ground goes and the red to power but does the green go to the negative side of the coil? And if so what is the best way to hook or splice it...

I finally got my new 347 fired up and I had the timing dialed in so I decide to take it for a spin. While Im going down the road I hear what sounds like something dragging under the car. Doesnt matter if Im in gear or not doesnt really get louder with rpm. I park it and listen while idling and...

I have my moter installed and will not be using the smog pump but will have it hooked up......for now. What do I do with the outlet on the pump and the vacuum tubes that went to the valves? If I plug them all up will I get constant codes?

:D Here are a couple pics of my new 347 I just dropped in the bay. Wish I could have redone my engine bay but I have bigger fish to fry, like firing this thing up and getting it tuned!

I am about to light fire under my new 347 and wanted your expert opinions on whether high 11's would be possible with a set of slicks and say a 1.75-1.85 60ft time? Check out my sig and tell me what you think. Oh and assuming I get it wideband tuned with a chip. Thanks everyone for all your help...

Okay I installed the lower and brought the motor to TDC to put the distributor back in...heres where the problem lies. It seems the fuel rail sits quite a bit higher with this lower and this causes it to run into the clip housing on the bottom of the cap of the dizzy on the drivers side. Its...

I am replacing my stock 93GT motor with a new 347 and cant remember what this metal bar is bolted to the back of the intake. It bolts to a stud on the drivers side rear intake to head bolt. Goes over to the other side of the intake and has an open end slot like it attaches to something else. I...

I was torqueing my arp studs while mounting my AFR 185's and when I got to the third bolt I felt the threads give way. The threads are toast. After I got through throwing up :bang: I figured I could make a nice drill guide at work and install a heli-coil in this hole. Tell me if this is a good...

Okay I bought an early style pan and it fits over my probe girdle just fine, the only problem is the stock pickup doesnt come close to working. The girdle rail runs right where the stock tube would ..meaning I cant bolt it onto the pump. I can heat and bend the screen end to clear the pan but...

Okay so I was checking my pushrod length and valve clearance today and noticed my rockers werent riding in the middle of the valve stem. Both exhaust and intake rockers were running on the inside of the stem. It looks to me like the AFR rocker stud to valve stem centerline is off. Anyways the...

Why is it everything I read says to remove the starter before you pull the engine? It looks as if you undo the motor mounts it should clear fine. Anybody? And also can I put the engine back in with the BBK shorties already attached?

Like it says, which one is the best fitting and everyone is using? The 28x19 is sum-380428 and the 31x19 is sum-380431. Let me know what you like or dislike about these? Do the stock hoses work?

Bought a new 190 walbro at a swap meet awhile back. Just got around to installing it and thought I should test it before I slap the tank back up in there. I tried putting 12 volts to it and got nothing, so I figured I would check my old one the same way and still got nothing. I get continuity...

Okay what is it that makes the 80 and 77mm Pro-m meters worth another 75-90 bux over the bullet series meters? Will a bullit meter not work well with my 347 combo? That other 100 bux goes a long way towards a new set of injectors? Let me know what everyones opinion is. Thanks.

Okay I will be checking for sure, I am going to assemble the heads and valvetrain on my 347 myself but I just wondered what the popular opinion is on this question. Will I have sufficient clearance for my valves on this combo. AFR185,s 347 with Probe SRS flat top pistons FTI custom .565 lift...

Does anyone have prints or a sketch of a 5.0 engine cradle or dolly so I can make one up myself? I still have my engine in my stang and the replacement stroker is at the machine shop but almost done. I need a dolly or cradle to keep my engine on when I pull it out. Can anyone help? Also how have...
