photoshop'd... you can see the blur lines on the driver side fender in the first picture. the colors dont match. in the side shot... over the passenger side fender... the lighting doesnt look the same. in the last one... the mustang emblem doesnt look real. but nice job.

so what was the total cost of the project?

ive been told my numerous people that 302's are known for air pockets. so thats where im going to start. i know its not a head gasket cause i just did those 2 weeks ago. (had coolant in my oil... but actually wasnt the head gaskets. it was a leak on my intake manifold.) anyways... im assuming if...

well a new problem has become apparent... since the car never really warmed up... because it would just stall out, the water pressure never built up either. but now that it runs good, ive found that my cooling system has some serious issues... blown heater core, wrong radiator (constantly...

oh now he tells me... :D "check your firing order..." after i figure out today that i was using the HO order and not the standard order... problem solved. car runs great now. thanks. :nice:

*bump* i still havent fixed this problem. any one else have any ideas? winter is coming and its gonna be cold to ride my yamaha around in the snow. :D im ready to rip the heads off and rebuild them... im sick of not driving.

its a brand new holley carb. it cant be my firing order cause it runs fine at idle when its cold. im gonna try a compression test once it heats up. edit : unless the firing order is different by only 2 cylinders

yeah its used. but freshly rebuilt. im gonna try flipping the carb around to make sure its a valve. if the backfiring stays on the driver side, then its a valve. but if it flips to the passanger side, its the carb. i will also check the valvetrain tonight.

ok heres the deal... had a 3.8L... blew it up... pulled it out... and put in a carbed 5.0. now... i can start the engine fine. it idles perfectly. if i slowly give it throttle its fine. it will gain rpms... so on and so forth. but if i juice the throttle to half or more, it backfires. large...

would the motor mounts be the same for an 1982 302 as a 95 v6? im guessin they are not... but i gotta ask.

your joking right? when was the last time you changed a head gasket? :nonono: btw... nice job stangnet with losing all the registrations from Jan-March... had to re-register... :nice:
