    Piston's for Twisted Wedge Heads???

    TFS actually sells a series of pistons designed to work with their heads, made by Arias for TFS. About $500 a set. Good stuff though. Check Summitt.

    I'm better than you!!!

    These 1-ups ppl are irritating! Usually stems from insecurity issues... and not enough breast-feeding as a child. I just started a new job a few weeks ago and this guy ask me about my Mustang. This other guy chimes in and says "Mustang? What kind?" I said actually, I've got three. I didn't...

    Horsepower in 302 vs 306????

    I'm doing the TFS upper kit and decided to get the TFS 10:1 pistons (made by Arias) that are for 0.30 overbored. These pistons aren't cheap but man, they're light as hell. I bought all this stuff before the stroker kits were affordable back in '97 and '98 (my 200k mile engine still won't quit...

    Need some opinions about a beater Jeep Cherokee i want to buy

    I drive daily a '94 sport model cherokee with the 4.0L, automatic. Runs good. I've had it for 2 yrs and gas mileage is similar to the stang. I have that lifter tick in mine also. Heard it was not anything to lose sleep over and it hasn't gotten worse. I did hear that the grand models had...

    TFS pistons and Piston Notching

    Another solution would be to go with TFS pistons. I think they're made by Arias. I bought them to match my TW heads (and Stage 1 cam) so I won't have issues. They have a couple of diff compression ratios. I bought the 10:1. They're forged, and they're light weight. Not cheap though - about $500...

    CONGRATS TO 87TTOP!!

    Nice car 87ttop! I've seen it here, but it's nice to get that kind of recognition. Real clean example of an 87. You can really see all the hard work that's gone into it!:nice: BTW, it's the best stang mag out right now. Not too much advertisement for the amount of article material. Good...

    Recommended lifters for trick flow?

    I've got the Trick Flow stuff waiting to put on my car. You do need to make sure that you use 6.7" long push rods with this kit. If you don't, you'll have issues. The geometry is different than stock. Did The car run fine for the first 10k miles with the new kit? If you just got the car, the...

    Running real hot

    The fan itself could be cracked also. The factory fan is plastic and sometimes the blades develop cracks where the blades connect to the hub. Do all the things listed in the replies above also, good advise there. Latemodel Resto has replacement blades that aren't all that expensive. The...

    Phenolic spacer inbetween the upper/lower intake manifolds???

    Upper will be cooler as a result of using a spacer. Also, the extra 3/8" or 1/2" will aid torque due to a longer intake runner. This is what I understand. You can search for before/after results on an install, for the gains. It all adds up. I have one on my factory intake w/no broken tab...

    For those who REALLY get intimate with their car....

    Man that's funny! I watch SNL but I must have missed that "commercial".

    Terrorists and profiling

    I'm just kidding. Profilling is inevitable (back to the point of the original post). Hey, if terrorists were typically 80 yr old grandmothers, then take a closer look at them. That's just the way it is. Screw the PC crap. Most ppl understand the reality of all this. It's the far left...

    toploader linkage

    Can someone help me with the Hurst linkage setup for a toploader? I have had the tranny out for a while and I failed to take note of how it was hooked-up before. A buddy looked at the inside to do a visual inspect and the connections at the tranny have changed. Mike

    Wheel Options/Opinions

    I second the chrome look for a black car. Tork thrust 2 wheels actually look good on a fox. Saw a white 89 vert with these before and they looked good, and different. Not just for old school, original body styles. Price is right if not a custom backspace also. Less than a grand for all four...

    None of you have balls...

    Only laughed the first time I saw them. Might be kinda funny to have really huge balls on there. You know, kinda almost dragging the ground. Or....make 'em glow at night with neon. How about when they get cold, do they shrink up? How about a red starfish/cookie-cutter (butt hole) brake...

    Photoshop, I want ALL your opinions!

    I'm not big on the two-tone either. But, I like the wheels. Two-tones seem to look better (for foxes) if the break is at the point where Ford did it. Anyway, props for trying something different. It kind of has that Foose feel to it. Black is always cool and if mixed with a titanium, then maybe...

    Fill your car up right now...

    It's easy to say it's a "Republican problem" because of the political persuasion of the current President. If truth-be-known, it's the lack of foreign policy during the military-impotent Democrat years of Carter and Clinton. We're paying for it now. Politics does have something to do with higher...
