    Engine builds

    I'll look up some of his threads...I am not looking for a budget build, but which is the best bang for the buck: tuning a 347 built right, or running the KB on the 302 tuned right?

    Engine builds

    Gotcha. I thought there already existed a sticky thread where the best builds where spelled out. Although everyone has his own idea of what makes the best build. In the past, I used a prepackaged deal like Edelbrock's RPM setup. It is a little more complicated in my opinion with EFI on a...

    Engine builds

    I am looking for a good build involving Heads, cam, intake, upgraded ignition and injection components. I don't want to break the bank, but I want something that's reliable and quick enough to get out of its own way. I really enjoyed the Edelbrock combo on my '65 351W.

    Isn't there a thread where you guys talked about your builds, what worked and what didn't? I've been looking for it and for some reason I can't find it. Please point me in that direction if it exists. Thanks.

    Keyless entry question

    My "new to me" 95 GT Convertible has listed on its factory window sticker that it had keyless entry, but as usual, I didn't get one from the owner. Is it possible to buy new ones and have the dealer program them to work? What tool is needed to program them? How can I tell for sure if it has...

    Cam Keeper Question

    I just got a 4.6L Cheap from a MarkVII. By cheap I mean $100 and it has compression. Upon teardown, everything looks great right down to the perfect cylinder walls. Here's the question: There seems to be nothing tieing the exhaust cam to its gear in the timing system. Sure, there is a spot...

    HP gain from Electric fan install?

    I had a Bronco II whose fan clutch went out...It didn't sieze though. It went out and left the fan permanently freewheeling. The little brown "toaster" sat there, got hot and cracked its own heads.

    HELP! Whats the part # for the o2 with longer extension on the 86?? (Daggar?)

    You might try www.partsamerica.com...they show pics of most parts and it might be listed there. If availiable, most parts stores will show a listing for the longer harness right along with the standard length.

    Help me create the "Surging Idle Checklist"

    Two thoughts: Ford had a TSB for this where they would do one of two things...they would put a 6 inch jumper harness in the salt and pepper shakers, claiming that they were perhaps too tight resulting in a bad connection. IMHO this is perhaps not the best idea because you are adding two new...

    Autolite Carburetor Jets

    Anyone know where to get jets for an Autolite 4100 carburetor. I spoke with Pony carburetors and the jets are NOT interchangable with Holley jets. They sell them at Pony, but they can't be the only ones. Let me know. Thanks

    Should I let her drive my baby?

    my wife has already backed my '65 into a concrete wall twice and a dent showed up on (believe it or not) the passenger's side rocker panel. I say let her drive it, but be prepared to fix some stuff.

    Anyone running a Serpentine Belt???

    Screw March, they are too expensive. They charge $500 for something a decent machinist can make in an hour.

    Anyone running a Serpentine Belt???

    I am currently running the setup from the 87-92ish Ford F150s. It WILL work on a 351 or 302 and gives you the ability to go back and forth if you want. The old 60s alternator will work just fine or you can rewire to the more current alt from the pickup. These trucks are laying all over...

    Need some info please

    one more thing: the afformentioned Mustang is a 2 seat convertible and was not equipped with V8 power. It has a 91.4 cid V4 with a whopping 11:1 compression ratio. The clutch was hydraulic and it has a four speed transmission. The engine is located "midship" and there is no differential...
