    Which piston rings do you prefer?

    I recently disassembled my engine. It is a 302 that has been over bored 0.030" and it has a 347 stroker kit in it. When the piston rings were installed the rings were part of a kit. Unfortunately there is no documentation on which rings came with the kit other than "Race Rings". Summit racing...

If I do need to get the oil out of there, anyone...

    ECU programing...

    Basically it boils down to 2 options. Having someone else do it or doing it yourself. Little mods to a car = have someone else do it. Lots of mods = Do it yourself. It looks like you have quite a few mods so doing it yourself is probably best. I have a bunch of mods in my engine as...

    Doing a little cleaning! Pics

    I agree. it looks a little to white. I just recently painted my engine bay flat black. It looks a lot better because the engine sticks out more (especially the chrome) and wires dont stick out as much. Especially the wires that are in black split loom. When I get home Ill post a couple pics.
