    Summit/Northern Radiator Mounting - Summit 380100 ok?

    Okay, here are photos of the assembled radiator w/AL channels With a 2x6" section on the bottom and 2x2" on top, it sits on the strut rod crossmembers perfectly and the radiator is in the middle of the core support. Drilled a bunch of holes in the aluminum stock (for lightness, lol!) and to use...

    Break In Procedure/Oil For Crate Engine?

    There's a lot of controversy, so my only contribution is that I used JS66coupe's method when I got my Suzuki SV650 way back in 2000. My buddy got the same bike on the same day. I did the method above for the first few hundred miles, varying speed but really whacking the throttle open as much...

    looking for a headers builder

    I'm going to refrain from giving advice here since I've made my own mistakes and have a cable-clutch manual, not an auto, but you can see my pics and 68efivert's pics on this thread. I am currently making a set of JBA 1650S-2 shorties work, but the #8 spark plug will need a ceramic 90 degree...

    Summit/Northern Radiator Mounting - Summit 380100 ok?

    I have to look for those brackets I was going to rest the aluminum blocks on the strut rod supports and go from there - I had spaced it out so the radiator would be almost exactly in the center of the core support opening. If I use the brackets on the blocks, it might raise it up too high, but...

    Summit/Northern Radiator Mounting - Summit 380100 ok?

    quick note - just did some measuring and ordered up some rectangular and square bar stock to serve as a channel to mount the radiator on, a spacer to place the radiator squarely in the center of the core support opening, and a base to secure the fan to. The tabs on the center channel of this...

    Holley VS Edlebrock. 750cfm on street engine.

    On my 410-hp, almost-that-much-tq 331, they specified a Holley 4150 HP 750CFM carb. Not what you'd want in a daily driver - mech. secondaries, no choke - but the consensus over on Vintage-Mustang.com was that this was a great carb for my setup. Almost everybody said Holley HP.

    Fuel injection VS carb. 500hp engine.

    Look at EZ-EFI from F.A.S.T. Before I got into my (long story, 2-engine) debacle, I had planned to go Mass-Flo and was talked out of it in favor of EZ-EFI, a self-tuning TB EFI. Good reviews, easy to set up, great mileage, and without all of the tuning hassles of some of the SEFI setups out...

    almost the same cost to have them Jet Hot coated later I would have ordered the ones that were coated at first, but wasn't sure if they'd fit or if any dimpling or other mods would have to be done, so I just ordered the uncoated ones. It ended up being only $40 more expensive to have them...

    Here's the solution - JBA 1650S-2, higher and tighter These are an absolutely perfect fit for my application. Couldn't be happier. Just sent them out to get Jet Hot coated.

    Here are some pics of the interference with the 1650S and Steeroids The 1650S-2 pics are at the very top of this thread, and are what I have ordered and will get pics of in the next few days. Here are pics of the interference with the 1650S and Steeroids rack steering shaft:

    31" radiators thread - battery relocation mandatory.

    I ended up deciding on a Griffin radiator, 31" wide by 16" tall, with the 26" wide core I need - only $180 plus shipping, and it does indeed have a petcock unlike the description below!

    TX65, I think that's your pic from mustangforums.com . . . I think that was your pic I lifted from mustangforums.com. Thanks for posting it - it was helpful in my search for headers. I ordered first the 1650S uncoated to try out, and it has slight interference with my Steeroids rack just...

    Leaf Spring Relocation Question

    Having too much traction in the rear around a corner while your front is plowing or understeering is easy enough to fix - see that pedal near your right foot? Tap it. That'll get your rear in line. :D :Track: I do agree though that if you get excessive with the difference it could be a...

    I need some real help here...got mold in my interior....

    I know this is OT, but what's the autoignition point of gas vapor? not to hijack, but for safety reasons - I'm sure it varies with different concentrations of vapor in the atmosphere - but has anyone ever seen a range of autoignition temps for gasoline vapor? I'm curious. The lit cigarette...

    I need some real help here...got mold in my interior....

    Since heat kills mold, and I've done this before to successfully kill bedbugs in my upstairs tenants' unit, if you have propane forced air heaters or don't mind spending close to $100 on one, you could always heat the entire garage to over 100 degrees for an extended period of time - but I don't...

    I would almost like to do a chart, but too many responsibilities full time job, keeping tenants who live in my duplex happy, etc. I think a thread will be sufficient, though - anybody who needs to look something up can use Stangnet's search function. I can start off - no pics with headers...
