Hello again how has it been going. I finished pulling my engine apart and have found somethings that werent or may not be right. My water jackets were full on the pump/timing chain cover side along with on engine. I was able to take my finger and push the stuff from the engine but the timing...

Yeah if I knew then what I do now I would have. Since I have it though it's going in for sure. I have decided to go slower on the build and have how decided forged pistons are one item I shall be getting to be safe when zero decked and running at the higher compression will stick with stock...

OK well if it's no more then balancing it is I'm not worried to much just always sort of figured machine work cost more then it really does. The one machine shop I have called I asked about a couple things such as balancing and was told $190 stock crank $210 393 crank, boring and honing $120...

and when using a compression calculator if my block is zero decked I would enter 0 for deck clearance right.

Thanks for the great info. This quench phenomenom intrigues me. piston being right up against block, does that make it more diffcult down the road to get different parts/strokers or are all 351w pistons gonna be about same height when they are at TDC regardless of the other variable?. If you can...

I Will give update thanks. I do have the msd box and coil already on car got car for 3500 had a good bit of add ons but I do belive it is the 7.5 any fear in running it till it breaks and if I switch it will a 5 bolt wheel be mandatory only reason i ask is because car came with centerline wheels...

how much power can you expect 302w stock 84 pistons to hold up to reason I ask is because I am going back and forth between changing my pistons or crank. or how much can stock 89 351w pistons hold up to. If stock cast pistons are good enough for a N/A setup maybe I can take that money and move...

I can always use a direction change if im going the wrong way wanna do it right, but have hard time explaining to wife why I need this or that much more. I started with a budget of 1200 now she bumped it up to 2000 with lots of asking. My end goal is a faster car if it runs close or around 12's...

Thanks for the help yeah I guess I'll stay 351 for the time bein. Since I hear the crank that they come with is pretty stout. I'll just be upgrading the pistons, for more compression from what data I have put together I'll be sitting around 10.7 - 1 will that be ok with aluminum heads and high...

And how do you know what to look for there are flow numbers on that page is that how you compare?

What about these are they the same thing http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=190542569608&cmd=VIDESC&index=14&nav=SEARCH&nid=34745001272

can you recomend a set of aluminum heads that are good but don't cost $1000 that's half my budget including swap pieces.?

As for pistons ill be getting These as far as I know will do more research later.

Are they alot better then stock or no?

Can all of the modification for a roller cam in a non roller block be done with out super special tools?

Agreed I do not wanna mess this up have not had car running for about a year now. wanna do it right. will look into the dial and springs but certainly will be checking with clay.

Hello again I do plan on using aftermarket aluminum heads off ebay from kmj performance(210cc intake/60cc chamber). about the pistons mostly I just want increased compression and was trying to decide between getting new pistons or getting new crank and using pistons from my 302. will 302 pistons...

Thanks to both of you for your responces. now I will be looking into roller cam also. that was great way of putting it bullitt.

Ok I curently have a 351w im putting into my mustang and I am wondering if I put after market heads and flat top pitons with vavle reliefs and mild street cam. when or what part do i need watch for to insure proper valve clearance. My deck clearance stock is .023 with stock pistons that is does...

Hello everyone, I am new here and more or less a new mustang owner from west texas. About two years ago I bought my first fox, it is a 1984 GT 350 (or at least thats what it says on side of car ). It had a 302 with edlebrock lower intake, holley 4 bbl carb, long tube headers (unknown maker)...
