Looking for recommendations for my rotating assembly for my 89' HO 302. Just got back from the machine shop and it was bored .30 over. i am on a somewhat tight budget but i also dont want to cheap out. Willing to use same crank and i have a E cam that going to go in the car. Its a fairly stock...

Hi Guys, Just registering my car and I am told I need an ENGINE NUMBER. Apparently it isn't the 'Casting Number' but an actual engine number. I have looked in the repair manuals, online, everywhere and can't see where this can be. This is to register my car in Australia. The guy doing it...

Hey guys! I have a guy offering some $50 E7TE heads from a 95 302 and I was curious if they will fit on my 1970 302 block. I’m running an Edelbrock performer intake and Edelbrock 650cfm carb with hooker headers and everything else is completely stock. I’m planning on porting the E7TE heads out...

Yesterday I bought a 99 mustang, and it vibrates quite a lot while idle and while diving. What could cause this and what are possible solutions?

Hey guys first post here, been having this horrendous whining noise coming from my engine for two years now and I can’t figure out what it is. It’s not coming from anything on the accessory belt drive have disconnected the belt same noise replaced distributor and oil pump still there. Please...

Hi all! I am busy with replacing the rear main seal on our 1977 302. First I got the trans out (C4), but to do this I had to get the driverside header off, that worked. The passenger side header is loose and I only get it out if I lift the engine. The engine has to come out to do the rear main...

Does the 1998 3.8L V6 engine have a rev limiter? I know that the auto transmission shifts at 4500, and that the red starts at 5000, but the tachometer goes to 7000. I was wondering how high can you rev it to in first and second gear before it damages the engine? Thanks

I'm rebuilding my engine and when I got the block back from the shop, they had removed the counter shaft and synchronizer to clean out the block. There is a bearing that sits next to the gear on the counter shaft and one end of the bearing is tapered. Does anyone know if the tapered end should...

Need a second opinion on what the issue is. The car is a 2003 V6 mustang isn't anything fancy or have anything fancy on it. Spent last weekend trying to hunt down what I believed to be a vacuum leak. Turns out it wasnt a vaccum leak. Changed IACV after not being able to find any leaks...

Hey guys, I pulled my stock motor and transmission last weekend and have a friend of a friend interested in buying everything. I told him I'd get back to him with pictures and a price but have no real idea what a fair price would be to give him. It's a 1991 5.0 with intake, fuel rails...

So for Christmas my parents told me they would by a custom camshaft for me to help me complete my 306. I would like to begin the process of getting this cam but I’m not sure how to get ahold of ed Curtis to give him all the details of my setup. I believe I found where to buy them but I’m not...

Hey boys, a short while ago I had the misfortune of snapping the crank in my gt40p headed 302 (how/why it snapped I have no idea) so I am currently going through the rebuilding process to get her back on the road..I already have a shortblock all done up and ready to go..HOWEVER, when the crank...

I want to convert my 74 Mustang II from an automatic to a manual. Only problem is the cars engine was replaced with an 83 ranger 2.8V6. I prefer a 5 speed but will settle for a 4 speed. Does anyone have any suggestions i.e. transmission numbers that will fit the block?

Ok, not really the last two. Vehicle Information: 1993 5.0 litre in a 1990 Fox, A9L running GUFB strat on unknown def, aftermarket tb but not aftermarket MAF, knockoff cobra intake I think and possibly stock injectors. Hope this isn't the wrong board, suck at forums. I'll move it if needed...

So I know that everyone loves to watch your engine twist when you hit that gas. It just speaks raw power. But when I look at that I see potentially wasted torque. Is there a concrete reason why someone couldn't brace your engine and tranny so that they can't twist and flex so that all of that...

Hello. Am I able to swap out my blown 1997' 3.8l engine (with high miles), with the motor of 1995' 3.8l? And if so, then what exactly needs to be done with my 1997's original computer so that it recognizes and is compatible with a 1995 engine? I appreciate any attention given to my question...

I have a 2000 Mustang GT 5 speed. It has longs tubes and an O/R H-pipe. When RPMs are falling between 1500-1000 there is a loud rattle coming from under the car somewhere from the front wheel well to the seats. It sounds as if I'm taking a hammer and beating two pieces of metal rapidly. As soon...

Ok ladies and gentlemen. I was trying to get whole of Dave Bliss to do some motor work on my wife's 67, but it appears he may of retired? Anybody know of a reputable guy around the Seattle-Tacoma area to do some machine and engine work? Thanks in advance....

Hi All, I ran into the common issue of the original all-plastic intake manifold breaking, and need to have it replaced. Given that my car is more than 17 years old, I decided to replace all hoses and gaskets that need to be touched during the process. I’m Hungarian, I don’t know the English...

Hi all, I've got a new crate engine in my 2011 Coyote. It's got the 2015 cams/Phasers/chains etc. I've been told I need to change back to 11-14 VCT for the engine to run properly. I keep getting bank 1 and 2 intake cams over retarded codes. I've heard that the S550 exhaust cams can be used...
