I'm trying to make sense of this. 42's will support 500rwhp with a supercharger, but you needed more 10 more psi with a NA 331? I've seen 30's stretched past 450rwhp all motor. And i used them on a 347 (and a 302). It's why i usually say there is no point in 36's on a 302 based engine, not...

That sounds like an exhaust leak at idle.

I have no idea what the rules for an autocross class are, but i'm pretty sure nobody with a foxbody wants a 15 inch wheel, that much sidewall can't possibly be good for handling. I'd consult the rule book and use at least a 17 if possible.

Suspension on one of these cars is pretty basic. Any decent shop should be able to fix it. What exactly is the problem?

I had always a run Mr gaskets 180. My car ran at that temp all the time, which is where I liked it.

So i swapped out the quadrant and cable. Removed the firewall adjuster. The cables are the same from a foxbody to a new edge, but it's about 8 inches longer. Had to cut the bottom half of the white grommet off to get the cable out of the firewall. that's how tight the valve cover to the firewall...

Ordered the new cable and a double hook quadrant. I went with the 4.6 version which i'm guessing is just longer for routing around the engine with the heads being so wide. The MM cable which is apparently the top cable is good for 83-04. I can't use that one because it's not adjustable and as...

So we installed the clutch yesterday. Relatively uneventful. Though i never took into consideration that last year i installed a torque arm. Makes getting the driveshaft bolts out more of a pain. The way i handled the driveshaft itself was to the bolts out, raise the car by the frame (with a...

Kdezines is in the video. His stuff goes way back.

I wanted to like them and i kinda do, but honestly when you stick billet parts on a car randomly without any other billet parts they just look out of place. If the car had one of those fancy accessory drives it may work, but by themselves i think they would look like they don't belong.

Took it out of the box today, i'm getting the idea that they assemble and label it so people don't mess it up.

I guess this is how they ship them, same as last one I returned. Its the part number on the fingers, they all seem that way. I also get the feeling the clutches are all the same size and they just use different adapter plates.

So after driving the car last year, i realized why i bought a new clutch and hastily returned it a couple years earlier. The 20 year old clutch i have that was used with 2 pushrod engines and my 4.6 is just outdated. I'd say it's still good, but it is awful in parking lots and traffic. It's...

I'm not a showy under the hood guy, but i kinda like the cerbinator bolt kit. All my fender bolts look awful. My car could use some fender and panel alignment, so maybe they are the motivation i need to actually do it.

At what point of the car are you speaking of? Long tubes can hang low and the center section of a standard H or X can be low too, especially on a lowered car. That would be the part that scrapes on speed bumps.

I agree, see if you could use the original pistons. For me it would be either all in or all out. Changing the pistons for a 306 is more like half in half out. The block is the limit, not the pistons. If i'm changing pistons it's most likely for a 347, maybe a 331.

This is one of the few ways average people can obtain awesome things. Recognize something is special, even if you don't know why, buy it and figure out the details later. I've done it with other hobbies and it's almost always a win.

The eibach pro kit was the goto for years. I think at one point in my life every person I know had them. I'd say you are getting 1.5 inch drop out of them. I can't even remembee how many sets I help install. Run new energy suspension isolators and my guess is that you will get a 1/4 inch...

Honestly, i have no clue what cats do with a carb. I owned one car with a carb and it only lasted a couple months thankfully.

NP, if you really want quiet or a step above stock, just run a catted H or X pipe. My exhaust is too complicated to simply add cats being a mix from different year cars and floor clearance issues. But if i could i would just run a catted bassani 3 piece X pipe. I ran a catted pipe back in the...
