    Edelbrock RPM 2 intake... whoops???

    Porting the GT-40 (you can only port the lower cuz the upper isn't cast it's tubular) will basically improve the dogleg in the front runners and the problems they cause with uneven distribution. The big factor with the GT40 types is the mid range torque which is significantly over the...

    Spintech....Too Loud...Help?

    Summit sells their brand straight thru bullet glasspacks in various ID's pretty reasonable, short so should be able to fit them in easily. I've got a Hooker Max Flow on my 5.9 Durango and really really like the sound and it's just loud enuf.

    393 Stroker parts list? Help me out please

    Hello Pierz! Used to be from LFalls area, spent many fun hours in the old Funhouse years back ! :-)) Anyway - your efi pump probly puts out about 39 psi or a tad more, when for a carb you don't want, if I recall, over about 7 psi. With that year of block, you should have a mechanical...

    That salary crap will do that to you - been there, done that, don't do it NO more! Found out after sticking that kind of situation out too long that whatever outfit wants you to do that - it really isn't the only job in the world. REALLY!! I used to be Nite Shop Foreman for 5 millionaire...

    Any Tips?

    Somewhere in this little write up I did it tells what I did when faced with the same dilemma. Basically I got a bunch of 2x4 blocks togehter and worked back and forth from the front end to the back end adding 1 block at a time till I got it up. About the 3rd time I had it out in a week...

    EEC-IV BBF?

    That remote mount setup is actually better at least from the standpoint of the tfi module not failing due to all the heat from the engine and radiator. Would be far best to get the distributor, short wiring harness, and the tfi module receptacle all together than to try to modify any...

    351 w heads on a 302?

    They bolt on, except you'd need the 351 1/2" head bolts to the smaller 302 head bolts, pretty commonly available reasonable. But do a little research on those 351 heads, they may not even be as good as your 302 HO heads, depending on what you have on there. GT40 is a super intake for a...

    Use mech/vac adv distrib w/eec-iv?

    Yeah, silly question, but here's a thought that popped into my head after reading the timing advance tables in an A9P ecu which are very conservative and surely cost power and mileage, with full advance not coming in till around 5k under WOT, and probly not fully optimum under cruise either...

    EDIS to EEC-IV 5.0?

    Saw a thread on here that somebody on this forum knows how to mate up an eec-iv EDIS like off an Explorer with a Mustang type setup with a typical A9x ecu/system. I have a 351 Lightning motor, warmed up, in a mass air-converted 89 Lincoln Mk7 LSC that I would be interested in doing this...

    351 swap issues

    Just start with the basics - things like - have you adjusted the tps voltage after you set the idle? Have you tried "clocking" the C&L? Have you checked and rechecked for vacuum leaks? All your vacuum hoses hooked up under the intake? Maybe hook a vacuum gauge on and see if it's steady at...

    explorer intake bolts

    I set my expl. top on my lower, took a stiff wire and put it down the holes, kept going down till the end of the wire went just past the threads in the lower, held my thumb on it at the top of the hole, pulled it out and measured it. Got cadmium plated (bright shiny) bolts at Lowes for...

    trick flow cam question

    You can see the valve timing events on the TF site. I've got a Stg 1 with 1.72 rockers on a fairly low comp motor (9.2) and that low comp softens the lower end a little. I can feel a significant increase in acceleration from around 3k and on up. If I was closer to the upper end of the...

    So when a dipstick tube breaks off flush with the block...

    A good screw extractor would get a really good bite inside the tube and by rotating it and pulling at the same time it should come out.

    351 swap power steering bracket install ?

    I had the same problem, although I was using a Lincoln Mark VII bracket which I later found out may be diff than from a Mustang bracket?? So, I've still got that FMS adapter bracket laying around that wouldn't fit. I'd love to know, too!!!

    What e-fan has the lowest initial power spike?

    An electronic controller is really the way to deal with a large fan - as pointed out a big fan is going to have a heavy draw spike on startup. The DCC units are very popular with lots of Mustang owners. I ended up with a 3.8 V6 2 speed Taurus fan and a Flex A Lite soft start controller. Had...

    4R70W trans question?

    Yup, that's true, but I've just recently found out that there are a few other little differences that have to be addressed that almost make the Mustang unit a better starting point. In fact, I got one of those 4.2 truck 4R's for my swap. THEN I found out that they're longer than the Mustang...
