I'm building a custom setup using an Eaton off of a SVT lightning and a custom EFI manifold.... Problem is, as soon as you go to dished pistons, you lose your squish effect from the CC heads, so you might aswell have OCs... I suspect half the problems with OC's reputation for detonation...

I'm not seeing the problem with OC heads? 10-12psi is fairly mild boost levels... I'm not thrilled about having forgies in a daily driver....

Hi Guys, what pistons do people use in Blown 351Cs? I've been looking, but I can't find anything off the shelf with more dish than 13cc? I don't particularly want forged pistons because of the piston slap issues when cold... Want to get down to about 8:1 compression with OC heads, and not...

I think its the SVT Lightnings that have the 42lb injectors (green ones?) Ben

Anyone else think they're gunna kill the 4v heads? I mean really? Ford Australia is involved in a HP war with Holden (the local GM wing, builder of the Ponticrap GTO), and the hottd up Falcon sedans with the 32valve 5.4 in it, in 260 and 290kw form is selling like hotcakes... I somehow think...

What size are the stock lower pullies? same between Lightning & Cobra? Thanks Guys! Ben

Okay, question for you guys, whats the stock pulley diameters (upper and lower) on the SVT Cobras? What about on the Lightnings? And the Harleys? I've just bought a Harley blower off of Ebay to strap to my 302, so I'm trying to get an idea of what the stock setups give boost wise and with what...

Anyone done one? What headers do the job? I might be building up a Boss 302clone motor and might be winding up with fitting it to my 65 fastback. I'd guess the shorter deck height of the 302Windor block means that Clevo headers won't fit? Thanks Ben

Hey Hakan, the square section bits that the tie rods bolt to, are they welded into the bar, or did you start with some square section bar and machine it round?? Thanks Ben

Ooookay. I too am an engineer (Mechanical), although don't have the 32 years of experience or 50years of background in rodding/racing, but i do have a genitic predisposition to this stuff....... (Family history of engineers) Basically, as I see it, Yes, the frame rails, when braced, and with...

Bump! C'mon guys! More input!

Hey Historic, what rims and rubber sizeings are you running?? Really looking forward to seeing your tech page happen... Ben

And when you turn the key round to on, the starter glows red... Its a *very* nice unit in the flesh....

The 1500lbft is the "breakaway torque" of the diff, ie it'll start slipping a wheel. not really something you can measure. the ZF LSD (which I assume is similar to the trac loc) has a spec of "0-0.05 mm play cold" Some people "preload" them by making it so that diff is locked up to an extent...

How about one from an Aussie Ford GT? whenyou switch the key on, the little clear ring lights up red... nice thing it looks to be. Might have a closer look at the one in my Friends dads car.... Ben

Looked at CJ Pony Parts, found it using the part number, but no Photo? Ben
