    Any Quality Difference from Main Girdle To Main Girdle?

    The main purpose of the girdle is to keep your main caps from walking under load. Even a build under 400fwhp can cap walk. By tying all the main caps together they don't move under load and it stabilizes that aspect of the rotating assembly. The aluminum is better in that it will absorb...

    help ordering pistons(compression)

    Summit should be able to give you enough piston info to answer some of the question. Compression height is from the center point of the pin bore to the top of the piston. This is only relevant (to you) as to the block and rod/crank combo the piston will fit. Have you tried typing...

    AFR 165 and 185 differences on a stock 302?

    The 165's will give you a little better throttle response down low with the smaller ports, yet be able to feed the 302 enough for a street application. The 185's work well also on the 302/6 and you would still notice a gain down low over a stock E7 boat anchor head :D ... with of course good...

    Convertible creaks and rattles, any way to fix it?

    Even both my coupes have squeeks with all the bracing. It's all part of fox territory.

    8.8 girdle

    Well, I care so much that I called Trick Flow ... The rep said their fill plug was designed to be in the stock heigth location ... you just fill the diff to their plug ... so IMO this makes this the best girdle to buy :nice:

    8.8 girdle

    Sure, that makes sense. The thing that makes me curious though is with the TF girdle. It seems to be the only one on the market with the fill plug lower down on the girdle. I wonder if they actually located it relative to where it should be :shrug: Because if it is located too low...

    8.8 girdle

    Right, I hear ya ... ... but in my case (and many others I'm sure) I usually just buy those gallon jugs of gear lube and a tube of additive ... now lets say I have a jug that's around 2/5's full ... then I've got to figure out how much of my 2/5's gallon of GL-5 I'll have to add to the diff...

    UPR X-Pipe ... smog tube?

    That's what the diverter valve downstream of the smog pump does .. it diverts air into either the heads ... or the piping to the cats.

    8.8 girdle

    Hmm, I don't know :shrug: ... I do know I like to d&r diff fluid every 2 years or so. Looking at these 2 girdles, and their plugs horizontal relativity to where the factory fill plug is located on the housing: It appears the Ford unit (and most aftermarket) is a little too high up on the...

    UPR X-Pipe ... smog tube?

    At 30, I'm too old for the loud pipes also. I like a system that can run quiet enough and then come alive when your into it. There's definitely a difference between a healthy tone and a blatty one. :nice:

    8.8 girdle

    Fill Plugs? Look at the location of the fill plug on the SVO girdle vs. the TrickFlow unit, you see that the Ford units plug is higher up on the girdle. How do you know when the pumpkin is at the proper fluid level ??? Do you just fill it to the plug on the Trick unit and with the Ford...

    UPR X-Pipe ... smog tube?

    I'll probably end up dragging the pipe down to a muffler shop to weld on a tube and then install the X myself. How do you like the sound of your UPR X ? ... I'm gonna run a MagnaFlow catback behind it :nice:

    UPR X-Pipe ... smog tube?

    I would weld an air tube on it to stabilize the downpipe ... I won't want that metal downpipe just clanking around ... and I don't know if plugging it up at the end (down by the X pipe) is going to make the pump circuit throw a code :shrug: I do appreciate everyone's input though :nice:

    UPR X-Pipe ... smog tube?

    Yeah, we definitely have smog nazis where I live in WA State. I want to keep all the smog plumbing intact, so I can bolt the stock H back up when the 'every-2-years-emission-test' comes due. :scratch: I might even buy a piece of bent tubing and just weld it onto the X-pipe where the air tube...

    UPR X-Pipe ... smog tube?

    Hmm, that is stupid ... If it's goin to throw a code why would I use it. Even their cat'd X-pipe is void of the pump tube that goes into the cats :nonono:
