    AOD to AODE swap-what shifter?

    Ok, perhaps a couple of you guys have seen some of the chatter I've posted about swapping a 4.6 4V in my '84 GT and I'll be backing it with a 4R75. It originally was a T5 car...other things to note-the reason I'm swapping to a ratchet shifter is because I'll be running a manual valve body AODE...

    4V4I

    Hey y'all! It's been quite a while since I regularly posted on stangnet, and I figured I'd get back on since I know there are literally tons of good folks on here and I'm about to start another undertaking that may soon require some assistance. Onto the project: As the subject line would...

    Factory Tech Transmissions contact info? Please help...

    Hey y'all, I recently installed a predrilled separator plate in my Wife's '04 GT sold by a place called Factory Tech Transmissions. It's supposed to emulate Jerry's mod for 4R70W and 4R75E trannys. Immediately after install, I noticed the tc no longer "flashed" while in 1st gear-felt like it...

    Stuck blower pulley?

    Hey guys, I recently attempted to swap out my 3.33" pulley for a 3.15" and couldn't manage to get the old pulley to come off. Anyone ever run into this one? I did attempt some light prying with a prybar, but I really don't want to screw anything up. Can I use a 2 or 3 jaw puller to yank...

    Banging and bogging under boost...

    Hey guys, I posted a similar thread in the power adder section, but they don't seem to get much attention in there-and yes, I've already done a search...but, couldn't really find what I was seeking. Most of my setup is in my sig, the 42lb'ers and 77mm MAF are now installed, no FMU, 255lph in...

    Plugs too hot??

    Hey y'all, I just did my blower install a couple days ago, and I think I might've gotten too hot a plug. I'm running what's in the sig, GT-40 iron heads. I was running Autolite 3924's from the start, and they seemed like they were a little too warm. After about 10k, you can smell that it's...

    New PMS...idle problems-bad!

    I just got my PMS in the mail today (series II), and tried to hook it up...after zeroing out the previous owners info, I finally got it to start (previous settings had like -68% on startup fuel)...this thing would not idle anywhere below 1500, and it takes a while to settle down to that from...

    Hey guys, I saw a reply to a noisy rocker question someone had quite awhile back...anyway, I'm having the same problem with the same circumstances...stock length pushrods with rockers pulled from a '95 Cobra, on GT-40 heads. I bought new stock length 5.0 pushrods (6.272") and I've got tons o'...

    camber/caster woes after 5 lug swap-suspension advice needed!!

    hey guys, after I did my 5 lug swap last year (still running stock '84 k-member and stock control arms with '95 spindles) I've noticed every place I take my car to get an alignment, they can't get enough camber or caster out of the adjustable plates I have. The firestone I took my car to after...

    FI conversion

    Hey y'all, I just recently finished up my FI conversion and I must say, it is awesome! The throttle response is nothing short of phenomenal. I really wanted more than anything to say thanks to all who've been a big help during the entire process which began quite a while back during the...

    RHS vs. Dart Pro 1 195 vs. Vic jr's vs. high ports

    I've looked for the past several hours for threads pertaining directly to the heads mentioned above in actual drivability/hp comparisons...didn't come up with much. If any of you guys on here have any of these heads on a 331 (N/A or power adder) please post some numbers. I thought I had it...

    Hey again fellas, here lately, I've noticed several places poo-pooing the Edelbrock RPM heads (not here specifically)...basically saying they're not worth a damn...now, I've never had any of the other heads (TFS, World, Dart, etc, etc) but going from a set of ported E7TE's to the Edelbrocks for...

    Hey fellas, how many new grounds did you guys install when you relocated your battery to the back? Ever since I did my battery relocation, I've had nasty problems with the battery running down. I hadn't driven it for about a week, and this afternoon I go out to crank the beast, lo and behold...
