This topic can be locked, i finally got it, after calling in a 250lb powerlifter, its on. :nice:

My smog pump locked up and ended up killing my belt. I got a 84.5'' belt so I can bypass the pump, but I cant get it on? How do I adjust the tensioner so I can get it over all the pulleys? Anyone have a diagram on how to best setup the belt? Its a stock 91 5.0.

Budget is 4k. I dont want to do a 302 based motor because I want room to grow, and i've always heard that 302's seem to break at the 500hp mark. Plus i want to put "5.8" on the side of the car :D

Man I'm just looking for 12's, 11's on spray:lol: If I just did a 351 with that edelbrock top end kit, would that be good enough for 12's on street tires? 408 is looking mightily expensive.

The car will be manual and to cut down on headaches it will be carbed. I do have quite a few friends that are very experienced engine builders, so I think that I could do most of the work with their help. Whats involved with building a stroker that would be so hard? I know it has to be bored...

Even on a 408 it wouldnt make 400+? In the jegs catalog (yes i know i know) it says 400hp (i assume at the flywheel) on a 351, so i was hoping with 57 extra cubes i could at least make 400whp. I would like to eventually add n20 into the mix, and I believe a forged 408 could take quite alot of...

The more I look around the more i see that the ford 408 is one NASTY engine and I would like to have one. So here is what i want to do. I am thinking about selling my 91 coupe ($3500 or so) and using the 5500 I will have (i have some saved) to buy a V6 94-98 mustang and building it up. I...

Update: So my friend nathan (with the 5.0) called him out, and after all the **** he talked, he just walked the other way. :rolleyes:

Looks like there is gonna be a race, possibly for $100 93lx coupe -short ram -headers (bbk shorties) -x pipe -cam (its either the e or f303) -3.73 gears -subframes -steeda short throw (tri-ax) -nitto drag radials vs 92 240sx -cold air -muffler -80 shot So what do you guys think?:shrug:

I dont know what to make of this statement?:shrug:

:lol: BTW the rs200 is the best car ever made.

its a stock ka24de, which he now says ran a 15.1 spinning though first. So basically his 150whp full weigh 240sx is a 14 second car. :lol:

Look at what this utter toolbag just posted as a bulletin... "5.0 got his ass sprayed and owned soo bad just a min ago it wasnt even funny god 5.slows lol. Na cant hate on them them motors are strong as hell bad thing was i beat him decently all motor to !" His car is a stock 91 240sx (twin...

Isnt it beautiful?

K thats what i'll do :D

I have a hurst....like others have said it sucks. The shifter itself is awkward looking and it pails in comparison to the steeda trix-ax in my friends 5.0 as far as feel. I do like the bronze base though :lol:

I dont have my factory airbox though, just a cai. I would prefer to drill/tap my lower for the two sensors.

If you remember, what are the sizes of each? (egr coolant and act) Also, cant the act function if its not even in the intake system. Like it would still work fine if it was just in a cool part of the engine bay? Not looking to do this, just wondering.

Will my stock throttle body work on it? I know its kind of pointless to upgrade my intake and run the stock TB but I dont have money for a new one yet.
