    Basic idea of how mass air works - explain?

    Hey guys, It's been many years since I've messed with a MAF. The vehicle in question is my bronco, but still the same theory at work. My question is on the robustness of a MAF system, as in what's the upward limit on airflow changes you can make to a factory system before it's not going to work...

    My saga of keeping the car running cool

    I figured I'd start another thread on this since my searches seem to dig up old threads with no real follow up or results. My car has been running hot and I tracked my results as I tried different things. Hopefully, this thread will come up and not all the garbage I came up with instead. Sheesh...

    351 power!

    Those of you who pay for Motortrend and keep up with Engine Masters, the latest episode threw me through a loop. SBE 351w, tiny little AFR 165s, some OTS hydraulic roller, a Chinee intake and a 750 cfm carbonator made 435/435. The torque “curve” was more of a table. It fell off at 6100, but...

    Progress Thread Hoopty v2.0 - Back in action!

    So here's the back story: I have a buddy who I've come to know over the last few years in LA. He's got a '93 coupe that he's been shoveling money into. New paint, new suspension, new everything. It's got the DIYPNP MSII like mine had as well. As I was fighting the last car, he was having very...

    Where it all began

    One of the very few redeeming qualities about face place is the memories. My fondest popped up today, me doing my first engine swap in my first car, circa 2004. Soooo much hindsight.

    Window shopping

    I've been window licking shopping again. I decided I can't exist without a fox a long time ago, and it hasn't changed since the departure of my last car. That said, I'm planning on stepping out of my lane a bit - where I usually buy something cheap (sub-$3k) that needs a lot of work, I'm going...

    What to do?

    My car didn’t sell, the buyer backed out. I’m keeping it for now, not sure where to go next. I’ll do whatever the majority says is the right way to go. Just might take a while

    New video game about working on cars

    Just ran across this game that's coming out called "wrench" where you build cars. Im not a gamer, but still looks cool. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=75&v=1X0lCnMW9xI

    Update! Lifters are fine, the mechanic is the problem.

    I hate to keep posting questions related to the truck here, but at the same time, its still an SBF and I trust the info here more that elsewhere. So after swapping the heads on my F-150 this weekend, I put the push rods and rockers back in. The plungers in the lifters don't move at all. When...

    Cheap Epoxy?

    I have a set of GT40s that are going on my truck . Each exhaust port has EGR ports that aren't needed and cause a lot of turbulence. Is there a cheap epoxy that I can use to fill the port and smooth the roof of the runner out? Or a better method?

    I’m stumped And really irritated.

    Today, I was drilling out a broken bolt and damnit if I didn’t break the bit off inside the bolt. Do I buy harder bits and drill through it again? Not sure how to proceed. There’s about an inch of bit inside the bolt.

    Hypothetical speed density questions

    Let's say I have a 351W in a "mustang" that is controlled by a speed density computer. If I swap out the E7s and stock truck intake manifold for a GT-40 intake and heads: - Do I need 24# injectors? - Will that mess with the computer? - Adjustable fuel pressure regulator needed in place of OR...

    Windsor Jr Heads On A 351.

    I've been a ghost lately around here, but I'm still hoarding parts for various projects I may/may not ever get to. One of those projects is my truck with the 351. I got some Windsor Jrs this weekend for a song and a dance to go with the GT-40 intake. I was expecting to make 300-310 fwhp. My...

    What Are Procomp Heads Copied From?

    Idle hands... So, obviously not "fox related" as most of us know my fox is in a holding pattern until powder coating finishes up - and he's in the process of moving shops right now. But - my '94 F-150 (code name Pink Panty Dropper, cuz it's pinkish) has a 154k mile 351w. I noticed a little...

    Need Pics Of S March Alternator Bracket Installed

    Trying to put a 302 kit on a 351 with a modded bracket. The spacers make no sense though. If you have a top view looking down, that's what I need. Thanks!
