    Are all timing pointers for a 5.0 the same?

    Guys this may sound totally stupid but the original motor I picked up for the swap way back when, had a cracked block so I had pulled a bunch of parts off of it so I could just get a new block and build it. It was from an 88 lincoln. I then found the 91 motor complete for way less than a...

    Need help with this crazy motor...

    I know that I have been asking a ton of questions of you guys/gals, but I am so close and I need to ask one more question. The last question I posted I thought that I may have actually installed the cam 180* off of TDC, thinking I set it on the exhaust stroke rather than the compression. A...

    Am I just stupid? I think I may have totally screwed up

    When I put the motor back together. The bottom end was not pulled apart; just heads, Cam, lifters, rockers, and intake (obviously). When I installed the Cam, I followed the instructions from comp cams to the "T" and everything seemed to be fine. After some electrical garbage the A-team from...

    Should I believe this guy?

    I had a friend stop by and he told me that I did not need a Chip/tune with the setup I have??? The car is not running too bad, but it is putting out enough gas fumes to make your eyes water if it runs too long in the garage. He is an ASE Ford mechanic... What do you think? Here is the...
