    I've got a ticking sound?

    Valves. Change your oil.... do a fuel system clean (not the bottle stuff, the real carbon cleaner that will make your car smoke like a bandit)... and see if it goes away. If not... at least you have clean oil and fuel/intake system.

    Good Garage: Charlotte NC

    The best place, no doubt, for mustangs is right next to the speedway. I forget the name of the place but you go beside the speedway to entry "R". It's off of moorehead rd... you can't miss entry "R" becuase they are all labled with huge signs. Once you get into entry R you'll have to take...

    03/04 eaton swap to 97 cobra

    I tried a search for other threads on this but couldn't find anything. If anyone know's what's involved like... Direct bolt up w/ lower intake manifold vs. the need for a kit for port matching... any details on what all would need to be changed and if anyone makes a kit... links... anything...

    How to spend $1500-any suggestions?

    Who's money is this? I would build a nice motor for that money. You could get a 347 stroker kit for around 1k and still have $$$ left over for a n20 kit... plus... after you wax his ass... you would still have a nice stroker motor. Or you could do the stroker with a good top end combo and...

    $19k to build a beast

    What's wrong with fox bodies? Anyway, I would... well... I am building a 351 Dart stroker with a turbo setup. All of this sorta depends on if you'll have to pay labor or if your doing it all yourself. Big $$$ issue there. You should look for a nice rolling chassis IMHO. Something w/o motor...

    Build Dilemma

    on my old car I ran 10psi with 10.5:1 c/r. That was a small cube stock block motor. Just aviod detonation at all costs and keep the mix nice and fat if your going to flirt with those kind of numbers. I'll be undertaking a similar build as yours (see...

    88 fox project build ideas

    If i was gonna go modular I would have stuck with my previous plans with my previous car. I had a 96 Stang... hence the screen name... I was gonna do a built 5.4 build with a turbo like I saw in this one issue of 5.0 magazine. I'm 100% pushrod oriented now. SeventyMach1.... Yeah, i...

    88 fox project build ideas

    no n20... i've had my fill of n20. It's either turbo or n/a. And I havn't seen a 460 stroker from 351. I've seen 460 blocks but not 351 kit's to bring 'em up that far. Altough, i'd like that. Are ya'll keeping in mind a hella bore when you talk those numbers? Anyway... it's definately...

    and i should follow that with... still drivable to local cruise in's to... uh... make some trouble. Not something that only goes towed to the track and back. Something I can tag. Is 1k hp too much here? If so i'll just go 460 stroker N/A and keep it streetable. I want a stroker dart 351...

    88 fox project build ideas

    so ok... no question that i'm getting a dart 351 block now with the biggest low compression stroker i can now... how about heads/cam combo? Remember, we're thinking turbo w/ lots... i mean as much boost as humanly possible.

    where to buy a Dart Block

    well, i'm in a similar situation as you... I've looked at the dart blocks and can't really find one for less than 2k (before shipping i assume). Is the 74 wendsor a 4 bolt?

    88 fox project build ideas

    Slicks are 28-10.50 What about sleaving a 2 bolt main for longevity? Those friggen dart blocks are expensive as hell! Looking them up on just ebay the plain blocks are 2k+. For this build I'd like to have a motor/tranny combo for 5k+/- I can get the turbo done for less than 1k... we've...

    88 fox project build ideas

    thanks for the replies! What's the difference between a Dart block and other 351 blocks? Does the Dart have a 4 bolt? What kind of heads/cam combo's would ya'll think for a power adder such as this? Also, how would ya'll go about doing the rotating assembly? I've seen alot of stroker kits on...

    5.4 DOHC 96GT Project

    Vortech and 10#'s of boost cost the 'ole 4.6 it's stock life. I'm thinking of going bigger displacement and turbo. I read of a fox guy who threw a navigator motor with 4v heads (nice little internal package too) and a 88mm turbo all together and made 713rwhp at 13#'s. What am I getting myself...
