    Burning Oil+

    Definitely possible. But it wasn't smoking when I saw it run. In fact on my first start up it didn't smoke this bad.

    Cobra Intake Not Fitting

    Have a old block 302 that has been built. I put procomp heads on it. Cobra intake which I had on my other engine and stock heads. On this new motor the bolts match gaskets and heads well, but seems to have a pretty good gap approx 1/8" or so on the ends which seal against the block. I havent...

And 90' to 93' has a upgraded gearset which can handle more(300lbs a trq). Ive found a 89 for a 100 bucks that needs...

    T5..questions

    Hi. Ive researched the crap out of this and feel confident. But while looking for a used T5 it seems that most people dont really understand what a T5 World class means or what year is what. Frustrating. Now I found a 89 T5 (265 Trq rating)that needs new synchros and can rebuild it. Now the 90...

    computer chip in 89 5.0 w/mods good or bad?

    Chips programmable?? Off the shelf chips may be the older school way. Just doing research now and it seems that programmable chips now are the way to go. They taylor a program for YOUR car.
