You could get Tmoss to port your lower intake for about $150 or get an explorer intake and convert it's stock 65mm throttle body to work in your fox. Next, get a set of underdrive pulleys, then buy a used stock 94-95 MAF.
The MAF is a 70 mm unit, and it has the same 19lb calibration that you...
I think all of the pieces I mentioned are FRPP (ford racing performance parts). If you can't get a deal on them, I don't think you will find anything good because all of the 5.0 and Lightning oem performance parts have been discontinued, or moved to FRPP.
You might be able to make a 318...
I think you should get a girdle. I think it's probably more important to tie the caps together better. It's cheaper than a set of caps and a line hone also.
I think they have 347's in some australian falcons, but nothing in the states.
It's a crate engine, you buy it to put in your hot rod, or whatever car normally has a 302.
You could make a 347, but not a 331. Ford has a new 347 crate engine that has the 5.4" rods that you need, but no 3.25" stroke crank. The pistons from the 347 crate engine will not have a tall enough compression height, so no luck.
If you can get the crate motor for 1/2 off, that's a good...
That should be one wild 418. Are you going to get some forged pistons for it?
I would be sceptical of their no valve interference claim. I think they will need big reliefs if you have a cam that is made to take advantage of those heads.
That thing is going to be so tempting to rev. I...
I replaced a manual transmission on my truck, parked out in the street. It took me three days, but the last day was mostly bleeding the hydraulic clutch.
I don't think it's any harder for an automatic, but it probably makes a bigger mess with all of the ATF.
Remember, transmissions are...
It should be fine if you use a little of that gasket glue to make it seal a little bit better. I think it's called gaskasinch, it comes in a little can. You can find it at any auto parts store.
While the topic is GM's mistakes, what's up with that ugly SSR truck thing?
The plymouth prowler was o.k. even though it didn't look as cool as a real '32 ford roadster. I don't know WTF that SSR thing is suposed to look like, but it's ugly.
Ford has had it's low points also, the T-bird...
200 hp stock, but add a t3/t4 hybrid turbo and port the manifolds and you have 300+
They are light too, they probably have at least a 300lb weight advantage compared to a 95, possibly more.
First of all, only Smockdoiley and I have been talking about cost.
I am not teribly concerned with cost, but for the $300 more, you get four more bolts, eight more holes, and you have to use a special oil pan that will clear the front and rear mains. That does not sound like something that I...
It all depends on how much boost he's running, not his exhaust.
100% stock, the SVO would beat a '95 GT, You have a few bolt on's and he has a few bolt on's, but, if he turns up the boost, he can add 15-20% more power very easily.
Unless you are running huge boost with a supercharger, the four bolt front cap is pretty much pointless, and I can't figure out any way that a rear 4 bolt would be an advantage. The middle is where you need the strength, and the Dart sportsman has 4 bolt mains there.
Think about it, $300 for...
Yes, I know you don't always have to go .030, but some times you do have to, usually after you break something, or your rings go bad.
I know a guy that is building up a sportsman block, and his machinist wasn't impressed with the factory bores, so he had to bore it 4.010 to get what he...
.200" is a lot, especially if it's all at the top or the bottom.
Are you sure that the systemax is not ported? I thought they were designed for a head with about 165cc intake runners.
If there isn't an easy solution, I think your best bet is to find another intake.
If you start to...
$1699 is awesome. That's only about $800 more than a ford sportsman that is only rated for 4.030, which means 1 rebuild only.
With a 4.125" bore, that makes a real 347 that won't burn oil. And you still have two or more good rebuilds left in it.
I'm going to be calling AD pretty soon.
It is not a good idea to get a 331 kit and just drop it in to a used stock block. You should zero deck the block, get the cylinders bored, the main bearing journals checked, new cam bearings along with a magnaflux and sonic check to make sure that the block is good.
The decision has to be...
The 331 uses the 5.4" rods along with the same piston as the short rod 347.
There is nothing trick about it, it's a standard combination.
Unless the short rod 347/331 pistons cost $300 more, which they don't, there is no reason for a higher price than the 347GT.
I think you could waste a lot of time on the dyno if you don't have the tweecing experience from tuning by the data log.
In my comparison shopping, I have looked at the logging capability of the RT, and the EEC tuner. The EEC tuner looks like it will log everything you need if you have an...
