    .60 over or new block??

    if i buy a stroker kit off ebay for the 408 i would just need a new block to complete the motor right? i can get the block machined/cleaned up, install the rotating assembly and probably be under 2 grand right? oh and what is a good year to look for in a block? and what vehicles came equipped...

    Beauty or the beast?

    capri, i never see those cars around here and i mean NEVER, and its got more money into it. i would say the lx if you wanted an lx to keep as close to stock as possible and not mess around with it, but if you're after 1/4 mile times and a fast car the capri would be best.

    Ok...What broke?? (clutch)

    use the an oem cable or order one from maximum motorsports, they have a kit also. the job itself is pretty easy, removing the driver seat is a must. and youll need a breaker bar of some sort to connect the cable to the clutch fork.
