    LS1 vs 302H.O.

    Obviously, when STOCK vs. STOCK it is no contest... But why should GM owner's be proud when there 350ci engines of 2002 are beating 302ci engines of 93 and WAY earlier. The LS1 is 16% larger in displacement. The STOCK horsepower is 35% more. It's like one of us being proud of beating a...

    Hydraulic, Solid and Roller...

    Yes I searched but found nothing that helped. I want to know the difference between each. My motor combo will be spinning a max of roughly 6200rpms. I read that solid is that way to go for HIGH revving engines and needs adjustments a few times a year. Someone PLEASE explain. BTW, here's...

    STROKER INSTALL WRITEUP???

    Does anybody know of a write-up or website that walks through a stroker build??? I'm doing 460 > 557 in my garage and just wanted to know EVERYTHING I can just to see if I'm getting in over my head. The weakest link for power in the BBFs is the internals and heads so I figure first things...

    Cam choice for BBF???

    I know the ins and outs of 302s as far as what cams are good for what but now that I'm going 460 I need to know how the game is played. I do NOT plan on spraying. How much is TOO much cam? What is TOO mild? What intakes work well with said cam? This is a STRIP ONLY car. Transmission...

Anyway, my idea was to start making parts to sell on ebay. Only Fox mustang stuff. Cold Air Intakes and Torque Box Reinforcments are...

    What inch converter?

    I am getting a C4 (157 tooth bell, case fill, fmVB) I don't know what size converter to go with. Bigger the better? I want it to be lockup with ballooning plates if that makes a difference. My engine is in the ballpark of 320hp if that makes any difference. Thanks Anthony

    I'm looking to build up a strong C4 with 2800 converter, hardened input, full manual VB, trans brake... The works. Only problem is I don't know where to start looking. It's gonna get rebuilt anyway so I don't want to put out a lot of money for it. Looking to spend $100 including the bell. So...

    Not tech but IMPORTANT...

    I'm throwing in the towel. I bought my 88LX 2.3L 3 long years ago. It hasn't left the garage since I bought it. It was swapped to 302 with TRW flat top pistons, 1.7 roller rockers, Lunati 544 cam, edelbrock carb, performer intake, MSD ignition, battery relocation, GT ground FX + GT wing, sanded...

    Going auto. (Race only)

    So my project car has quite a bit done. The weak link is the stock t5. Instead of putting out a lot of money on clutch packages, new tranny, line-lock, etc. I would rather go auto. I think it'll be cheaper, stronger, CONSISTENT, and more convenient. Sure the fun factor is out but this car will...

    wanting auto...

    I'm building an all-out budget drag car. The weak link right now is my transmission. It's the stock 2.3L T5. I know it's gonna break so I'm not even gonna waste my time. I was thinking why not just be smart and by a brand new automatic from summit with a full manual valvebody and go to town with...

    Backlash and Depth...

    Ok I want to fully understand this... Is the backlash how far the PINION teeth go INTO the ring gear??? Is the pinion depth the distance between AXLE centerline and the PINION head. Also how do you get that when using a SPOOL! Last thing, how many in/lbs on the crush collar? Anthony
