    Roller block,70's crank - Possible?

    Ok, since I screwed myself what springs do I need?

    I have a tfs stage one cam, with stock heads. Anyone have a part number or an idea what spring I should use? Obviously the tfs springs I have aren't going to get the job done.

    Tremec 3550 questions?

    How different is the Tremec 3550 from a t5? I have the options to install a t-5 or a Tremec. The Tremec has 40k on it, the t5 has about 5k. I'm not sure, hopefully someone could inform me, are the clutches different? Gear ratios?, and what fluid would you use for the Tremec.

    140 mph speedo swap question

    I have the speedometer out of a 91, with the concave bottom. Will this fit in a 88? It's not the whole cluster, just the speedometer. If it doesn't fit, how much is it worth?

I already got it together, so I'd prefer not to pull it apart, but if it is an absolute must, I will. If I do have to change them...

    New "heated" O2's instead of the old style??

    I have two o2's from a new taurus, anyone know if they could be wired to function, or would they not work at all? I'm thinking you could eliminate the heater and just wire them to the old plugs and be good to go? What do you guys think? :shrug:
