    Put my original radiator back in just to test run the engine for a bit. She fired right up and idled nice, held good oil pressure the entire time (around 60-65 psi) with the 30w break in oil. I only ran it for 10-15 minutes as the old radiator leaks and once it starts building pressure it...

    Got the motor back in the car, but found my brand new mishimoto radiator is twisted. Its not bad enough to really notice unless you place it on a flat surface, but its very obvious within the car and makes the fan not fit at all :confused:. Hopefully i can get that sorted soonish or figure out...

    Got the crank back and cleaned on Friday, so I was able to get the shortblock back together again: Was hoping to get it further along but I found one of my head studs was possible defective or I just broke it when removing the stud with the tiny allen key (its an ARP stud :nonono:) It came...

    I didnt have the block or anything machined or cut - it was just a stock rebuild in the same block - same crank/etc as before and everything was running fine. I did check a few cylinder bores for taper etc, and did check a main or two as well with a bore gauge and everything was within spec...

    Yea i had sent in a sample actually - I forgot to post a picture of the results - that plus the dropping pressure is what caused my concerns... I decided to just drop the pan tonight - too more work to get it off than I hoped, but it pretty much does confirm my suspicion that something didnt...

    Yea ive certainly tossed around tons of ideas on going to a 302 based stroker, a 351 stroker.. a coyote motor. Im still trying to figure out if the motor really is eating itself or not yet - I started out with 10w 30 in it - ran it about 500 miles and noticed that at hot idle, the oil pressure...

    Im not really sure, i bought what should be stock size basic 302 rod/main bearings.. Clevites from summit: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/CLE-CB634P8 https://www.summitracing.com/parts/CLE-MS590P I thought these were correct and would be good bearings.. but clearly something went wrong...

    Alright now for the rest up until current day.... I stripped the car down to the absolute minimum - everything got removed unless it was needed to steer/roll. After a lot of quotes and discussions I finally found a local shop that could do the work - repairing the framerails. Since the car...

    Wanted to finally post some details out into one of these.. both chronicling the journey of how things go to where they are today and hopefully into the future! Bought a 91 Fox back in 2005/2006 - had roughly 100k miles on it then. It was lowered with Eibach progressive rate springs (it was...

    Evr Solenoid

    The EGR appears to be working fine, but I am getting issues that are consistent with a vacuum leak (car thinks its running lean, keeps adding fuel). I tested as many vacuum lines as I could and the only one that appears to not hold vacuum is the EVR (the solenoid that controls the vacuum to the...

    Evr Solenoid

    I tried searching on this specific point, but couldn't find a good answer. I assume that the EVR Solenoid (which controls vacuum to the EGR) should hold vacuum when applied, is this correct? Just got a brand new OEM one to replace an original which was not holding vacuum, and the new solenoid...

    Subframe Connector Installation

    I have been recently looking to get a set of subframe connectors installed, but am having trouble finding a good place to have it done. I live in Central/Northern NJ, but would also like to have some additional work done when installing the connectors, if possible. The car has been in Jersey...

    Code 67 / Ngs Wiring Issue

    Thanks. As a reference since it might help others, after tracing the wires and checking my O2 harness, i realized that the loopback that was in that harness was for the NSS/Clutch switch to the computer. I cleaned up the O2 harness connections and it fixed my code 67. I have a 91 with a...

    Code 67 / Ngs Wiring Issue

    Car has a hanging idle sometimes when driving. I was checking the codes with the car in neutral and also tried pressing down the clutch. I get that code when trying to pull the KOER codes.

    Code 67 / Ngs Wiring Issue

    I have been trying to fix a code 67 issue on my car for a while, and need some help/direction. I measured the voltage on pin 30 at the computer, and see 5 volts there. I then tested the voltage at the NGS sensor on the transmission (manual), and dont see the corresponding 5 volts. I ohm...

    What Caster Plates are these?

    I have a set of steeda cc plates that look identical to them, just a little more beat up. If they are steeda's, i would suggest not using them, as i managed to bend the main plate with a mostly stock suspension, only lowered with C springs. I have MM cc plates now, and they are waaaaaay...
