Im putting my battery in the spare well on the 427 car. About to order the stuff to hook up/route the power side, and need it track legal. Since I'm going thru and cutting out any unused wiring and not using a lot of the stock '89 components (no hvac, holley ecu, 3g alt, etc) I want to make...

Started trying to put a teamz lower core support on and its about 7/16" too narrow. Being that this car has been hit before I'm not 100% sure if it's the new piece that's too short or if the frame horns are spread out. So if someone could measure the distance between the inside of their front...

The time had come I guess to start a new build log on this since the old one is no longer relevant. This is now going to be a very long-term project vs the continual improvements I was doing before. After the lifters in the 302 took a giant dump, I took some time to do a bit of soul searching...

As the title says, im experiencing a pretty good stumble/miss around 3500 plus with more than half throttle, but only in 2nd/3rd/4th gears.This is after upgrading to a tfs stage 2 cam and rpm2 intake. When it happens, my stock tach will hesitate and then continue to climb until it hits the next...

so i just got this car together again, and am chasing down a miss/stumble in the upper rpm's at full (or even mostly full) throttle. ignition checks ok, but my fuel pressure is acting weird. the gauge on the shcrader valve bounces 1-2 psi up and down constantly. has been doing this since i...

so i'm installing a new tfs stage 2 into my fox, and either i'm doing it wrong, or my math is all fubared. installed it (so i thought) straight up, crank sprocket has 9 keyways, used the 0 one just by eye. card specs at .050" lift @ lifter are intake 5 btdc 39 abdc max 107 atdc...

figured i'd post this here since it seems the build thread doesnt get as much traffic. just put this car back together, took it for a test drive yesterday, everything seemed fine until about 10-15 minutes in, then it started squealing on me. at first it was just kind of a "squeak" every once...

So i'm getting to point now where i need to start thinking about race tire options for the fox. My g-force sports are not at all up to the task, although they run almost as good as my old nitto 555r's did, i know theres LOTS of room for improvement (average about a 2.1 50'). looking to be able...

I figured I'd start one of these to try to keep me motivated in this car, and see if I can get any suggestions on paths to take, or help spot any screw-ups I'm doing. My plans for this car have changed in the last year and half: I moved back home after my mom passed, sold my place (not having a...

How loose is the output shaft bearing race supposed to be compared to the bore in the case? Tearing mine apart last night and the only odd thing I've seen so far is that race being so loose that it actually moves. Seen it sticking out and almost touching 5th as soon as i opened the tailhousing up.

So its that time of year again to start planning my usual winter upgrades, which this year look like theyll be more extensive than usual now that ive sold my house. One of those upgrades may be an 11/12 gt, hence i still have somewhat of a budget, and i still need to rebuild a trans (either the...

as title says, my dash lights aren't coming on whenever i turn my headlights/parking lights on. fuse is good, outside lights work, dome light works. thought it might be the dimmer switch going out and put a new one in, zilch. i have three autometer gauges in a pod below my radio tied into the...

so ive been noticing my car not really running right for a while, and since i had to put my cats back on a couple weeks ago for inspection, i decided when i put my o/r h-pipe back on i would dig into things, and now i just want to make sure of things that i think i know the answers to. i tend...

does anyone know if theres a quality, off the shelf, premade wireset for these cars with 90 degree boots? im running gt40p's with bbk shorties, and a normal 135 wont work on #6&7. ive tried the cheapo autozone specials for a chevy van with a 305, which has the right ends, but its a sloppy mess...

as the title says, is there i way that i can do this myself? i got a couple leaks up at the top that i just found out about the other day. is it as simple as pulling the trim around it and maybe throwing some kind of silicone/sealer in there, or does the whole thing need to come out?

ive actually been three times this year since gateway reopened. First two times where a couple months ago, and it ran a consistent 13.8-13.9 @101-102 with 60's in the 2.1-2.2's (yes, i suck at driving, but still seems a touch slow). The second time i went a heater hose decided to burst on the...

I just got my car put back together after having to put new head gaskets on it, although this current issue tried to rear its head before i tore into it. It'll start and idle fine, can drive it around without a problem, but once the temp hits 180 and the e-fan switches on, it goes a bit crazy...

ive been getting an irregular CEL for a bit now, put my code scanner on it, and got a 34 and 91, the 34 ive been chasing for a while (new egr valve, sensor, solenoid, no vac leaks in the system, voltages seem fine), and i just swapped O2's side-for-side to see if the code for that follows. took...

got my explorer motor running in the stang, and im having problems. its missing something fierce, putting a timing light on every wire shows that cylinders 3,4,5, and 7 arent getting spark. ive moved the plugs and wires around to the working cylinders, and the miss does NOT follow the plugs...

so i just got a brand new tfs stage 1 cam from summit, just checking things out and i notice a couple "issues". 1.) my old tfs cam looked to billet steel, this one is obviously cast. when did this change? is it going to make a difference? 2.) the box and cam card both have TFS-51402000...
