    why 620's over stock springs

    I have 620´s and Kyb´s in front and I´m satisfied with them. I have kyb´s with 5-leafs out back, and have some wheel hop problems, with shelby traction bars. Next I´m going to try different stocks out back, if that could help. What happened to those Eibach progressive springs?

    Yep, was doing a search on roush200 and it poped up... i guess somebody could tell us how it worked out? "550 rwhp from a 393? Is that after a 200 shot of nitrous or does he have forced induction?" Have to check that, wheter I remember wrong, the car has been in Ford Muscle. It had AFR...

    AFR 185's or 205's For 393 Stroker?

    There is this article which is about 302, comparing 165 cc and 185 cc AFR´, and even with only 302, 185 was better all aroung, meaning that no significant loss in low end could be revealed. This means, I think, that 205, with 351 atroker isn´t over kill by any means, and it should wotk from...

    351 rod endurance stock / truck / ???

    What kind of bottom end combinations are you running and how high you spin them? At which rpm they exploded? That is the main idea. I´m interested cause I´m running fairky stock -69, with stock rods and "some"-pistons. In near future I´m planning to up-grade with KB-hypereutectic...

    Holley vs Edelbrock Carbs

    17 mpg is same as 14 liters/100 km, as we say here in the old country :) I wouldnt say thats impossible... My hardly tuned -66 with 351w takes about 13,5 liters/100km... One guy here with megasquirted 351w in 67 stang, has gotten it going for 9 liters/100 km... My stang is running with...

    Are lowering blocks a viable option?

    WORTH must mean that the higher the block? Which is correct yes. I was thinking this the other day when makin my shelby bars: Should I take it lover in the back end to compensate the 1" blocks I have? I decided not to

    I´m right now looking for an option for my LSD too... It seems that after 2000 km with my mild 351w, the slipping isn´t so limited no more... Only one black line. snif. Is there lockers for 8" too, or do I have to ad that 30kg to my rear...

    Rear End Dilemma

    There was some talk about Curries new 8" pumpkins. Does anybody know about them? They also have it on aluminum on their web page. 9" rear weights A LOT more than 8", which is an issue if you don´t run only on dead flat roads. At least here north the roads are terrible sometimes...

    Best 351w?

    Using older technology may have resulted thicker bores, but this doesn´t necessary mean the iron is worse. Usually these cheaper countries can use better materials cause they have more money to throw on material due to cheaper labor costs. For example here in Finland we can buy Titanium really...

    My new engine is a dog!!

    Yes, it is true that edelbrocks have secondaries opening mechanically, but there is secondary flaps also, which are opened by vacuum. I have 600cfm carb with my similar engine, but351, and I think it is small for me. The engine goes lame in 4000rpm. Of course I´m running stock -69 heads so thaya...
