    Superchargers: Centrifugal Vs Positive Displacement Question

    Sorry should have been more specific. I was referring to my old Weiand 174. If you can run an intercooler then by all means.

    Superchargers: Centrifugal Vs Positive Displacement Question

    Most likely with a PD blower you'll be icing your engine down at the track, unless you run alky/meth, E85, etc. Efficiency is key.

    Best Valve Spring Compressor For The Money

    I recently rebuilt my GT40 Engine. I did a little looking around and found the price range to be about $60 for the tool. I asked my local Cylinder Head shop how much they would charge to change the Valve Springs, he said $60 ($30 per Head). So I ended up just letting them do it.

    Big Brake Setup Gt500 Foxbody

    Ok I'm sure I would be using a sticky track tire at track events, but obviously I would need street tires to work as well. I was hoping the Cobra Rear brakes would be enough to suffice. Awesome thank for that info!

    Big Brake Setup Gt500 Foxbody

    I'm digging the FTR Hydraulic E-Brake. I've been trying to hunt down part for the ABS Conversion. No luck so far but it is a Saturday and I haven't tried social media. I would be correct in saying that GT500 14" brakes are so radical that at the bare minimum I would need ABS on my fox?

    Big Brake Setup Gt500 Foxbody

    Hey guys, I was just about to purchase some 10'-12' GT500 brakes to put on my 84 Fox with 95 Spindles. I had seen a company called Vintage Venom selling a conversion kit to make this all work. Luckily before I pulled the trigger, someone mentioned that Vintage Venom went out of business. I...

    No Start After Rebuild.

    Thanks everyone I got it. I guess I had fuel in the carb still and that gave me the short start. All I had to do was prime the lines. Car feels GREAT! So smooth through the "power"band.

    No Start After Rebuild.

    Thanks Joe. However I tried that as well, in a few positions. I pulled my plugs and they seem fine, they don't smell like gas or anything.

    No Start After Rebuild.

    Hey guys, Well I just finished my GT40 rebuild and it crank but won't start. I got it to start for a short second but then the rpm's dropped off unless I held the throttle down. My associate wasn't around to hold the throttle for me while I make adjustments. I for sure have spark to the...

    Motor Out, Now Confusion.

    I acquired the 96 Explorer GT40 engine GT40 Cylinder Heads, TFS1 Cam, TF Valve Spring Kit, Melling Oil Pump, Melling Timing Chain Set, FRPP Crankshaft Dampner. I have one question though. I noticed how the GT40P heads have a smaller combustion chamber than the GT40P to raise the CR. I was...
