it sounds like the new cam has to much lift for the studs to handle. maybe machine the heads for screw down studs, or look into some lightly used heads that already have that feature.

i would prefer a little more sidewall in the back, but they look good, and suit the car well.

I love the stripes on the rollbar! good work!

is the booster providing any assistance? try pressing on the brakes, then start the car, and see if the pedal goes down any. if not, then it might be the booster, or a hose going to it.

I put in a total control manual rack, and it's a little tough in parking lot situations, but on the open road it's fine. I only have 225 size front tires, and a small block, so that makes it easier. I haven't driven an original manual steer in a long time, so I can't say exactly how much it...

completely de-grease it, then start the engine. the highest point the you see oil is where it's leaking.

looks kinda Trans-Am racing era in style. I like it!

why waste money cleaning up old heads, which still won't be very good, when you can buy some good heads that give you room to grow into them. If you buy these, you'll still probably end up buying better ones eventually anyways...

sounds like a vacuum leak, maybe since you changed the carb?

I like the ceramic coatings, but I would recommend ordering your headers plain, install, and see what hits what. once you have the steering and bellhousing cleared, then send the headers in to be coated. I paid for ceramic headers, had to cut and reweld one pipe, then pay to recoat one header...

shouldn't there be oil spraying everywhere? that looks awful clean....

what color is the smoke? black, like unburnt fuel?

dodgestang has a great chart for wheels. look him up .

if you do you better cover it with something non-conductive. a short with that much amperage will cause a fire....

the article states that the camero soaks up the bumps better because of the IRS and the magnetic shocks. The camero's shocks are impressive, but I also thinks the mustang might have done better if they had adjusted the shock from setting 5 to setting 4(or even 3), since it sounded like a bumpy...

could also be a leaking exhaust manifold (I know that sounds odd, but it's true). It would not cost anything to tighten up the exhaust bolts....

Good cam choice. trick flow offers porting for those heads. you might want to upgrade the valve springs, and the 3.89 gears might be too much with the amount of torque you'll be making.

Clean out the filter in the carb. some have them. exhaust leak would not cause this.

wouldn't a space LIFT the motor, not drop it?

I think the manifold is a good choice for a stroker. you have an extra 57 cubes you need to feed, and with 3.89's in the back, low end torque shouldn't be a consideration. I think traction will be a bigger problem than low rpm manners....
