Marques, what did you do?! Haha. I happen to look at this forum for the first time in months, and I find a post from you. Unless my memory has gone to crap, the tach is green with a white stripe. But I always reference tmoss' links. They hold the best info I have found so far.

I see no problem with the typhoon intake. you will need to get the block machined, and the rotating assembly balanced by an engine or machine shop. They could check the intake for trueness and fix any problems. As for cam I would go roller. You can get a conversion kit like this one...

If I remember right, the TKO uses a different shifter. So, if you already have an aftermarket shifter, that is another thing to consider.

I had all my pulleys made at a machine shop for $40 a piece. Although this was for the M112, but that shouldn't matter.

You can run low psi on that motor. You just have to make sure your tune is conservative. Also, run an intercooler. If you have aluminum heads it will help with detonation.

Normally the balancer will not slide on by its self. There are balancer install kits that pull it into place. Some people have gotten away with pushing or tapping it on far enough so that the retaining bolt can be used to pull it the rest of the way. As far as hitting the waterpump, that does...

Yeah, you need to find out if the kit was balanced. Also, what it the imbalance of the flywheel or flexplate? Most stroker kits have a 28oz imbalance, while the stock balancer is 50oz.

Jegs has them. http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?lang=-1&catalogId=10002&storeId=10001&categoryId=16155 But I'm not saying that makes them any better.

I'm thinking this a speed density car that is very sensitive to vacuum leaks. Make sure you have no vacuum leaks. They are the bane of the SD car. The 70mm TB is not too big, and even the lip the you get in the intake is not bad. Could be better, but not bad. Double check your timing (10-14)...

Check the shifter stops. I don't see how they moved, but three years is a long time. And the tranny probably need to be run a bit to loosen the fluid. And you could drain the tranny and put in new fluid to help. I just noticed you said you put in Redline Manual Tranny Lube? At least that's what...

There are way too many cams that come with over .500" lift to list here. One thing you could do is pull the cam and see what is stamped on the back. That could help. Or if you have a degree wheel you could find the timing events and research the cam that way. But only from lift, there is no...

It's been done before. So It's not very difficult. But you will have to fabricate some sort of bypass like the ones for centrifigals. One of the members on the Corral has done this.

When you say you replaced the MAP sensor, that seems slightly odd to me. I wounder if it is currently plugged into a vacuum line. This would cause the computer to think that the incomming air that the MAF is reading is greater in volume than it actually is due to the lower pressure reading, and...

I did it with an M112 for about a grand total, including the blower. I was introduced to a guy at a local machine shop who made me a completely new snout with shaft and 6-rib pulley, along with the plates for the inlet and outlet of the blower (to make the custom manifold adapters) for a grand...

I thought Cobra rockers were bolt down types? I had a similar problem caused by the rockers holding the valves open just a bit. Try backing off of them just a bit. And what do your plugs look like, what are they gapped at?

Seems to be a good plan so far. What do you plan on doing for a cam? I'd suggest a custom grind from someone like flowtech induction. As for the heads, you could just as easily go with the 185's due to the stroker. You won't be giving up any lowend, and you will gain some topend power. i'd...

Stock lower has a bad right angle bend in the front two runners that kills flow. So it's not the best. The upper box could very well have been developed to meet some racing regulations, or could have been designed before the aftermarket took off. And the reason forced induction cars have...

'88 California cars came with a MAF. I'd look into fuel pressure as well. It may be able to let the car idle, but under load you may be seeing fuel starvation. The filter was changed, but the pump may be worn out. Also check the MAP sensor and see if it is unplugged, or maybe has a damaged...

For future reference... http://www.veryuseful.com/mustang/tech/engine/ Assembled by TMoss. Edit: Dang!!! Hissing beat me to it!!!

I'm getting some money, but I'm not getting enough to pay for what I put into it. But I did get a ton of expierience, so I'm surprisingly not that upset. As for how I mounted the blower: I made an adapter from 4"x2" box channel with port holes drilled to bolt to a cobra lower. I then had a...
