    Randystinchcomb - Identify Ford part #? ARP head bolts needed or overkill?

    I'll answer my own question after doing a little reading... I'm forgetting about the Ford Racing bolts that I listed the part number for above. I've read that head studs are stronger than bolts and studs make it easier to remove the heads later. I'm just going to stay on track with my orignal...

    Randystinchcomb - Identify Ford part #? ARP head bolts needed or overkill?

    5R3E-6065-AA Randy, can you give me some info on the Ford Racing part number above? I can't find any details on them. I was wondering if they would be an alternative to ARP head bolts. I plan on running upwards of 14+ lbs of boost on a 10:1 compression forged longblock with Romeo PI heads...

    Mach 460 questions (Replacing head unit and door speakers)

    Hey thanks. I think that's everything I needed to know. I'll just keep it simple, get some factory replacement door speakers and a decent head unit.

    Mach 460 questions (Replacing head unit and door speakers)

    I want to replace the head unit in a 1996 GT. I also want to replace the factory 5x7 door speakers because they are both blown. I am car-audio-ignorant. I have never messed with any car audio so I have no idea about how this stuff wires up and what not to do. I tried to search a little...

    Please: Who manufactures Steeda-branded plug wires?

    FYI I emailed Steeda and I didn't think they would release the name of the company who makes their branded wire...I didn't even expect to get a reply. They actually responded promptly and gave me the name of the manufacturer. They say they haven't seen any problems with their current...

    Please: Who manufactures Steeda-branded plug wires?

    I need to know who is the maker/supplier of Steeda's branded, 8mm spark plug wire. I'm not going to bad-mouth their product but I'm having problems with a set that I shouldn't be having. I need to replace them and I want to be sure I don't buy the same wires. Anyone know, without a doubt...

    Intake gaskets reuseable? (I searched)

    I thought so. I'm having to pull this intake off a second time and don't want to have to do it a third time. My new motor is almost finished and its frustrating having to mess with this stock one when I'm so close to pulling it out.

    Intake gaskets reuseable? (I searched)

    I swapped intakes with new fel-pro gaskets less than a year ago and I made a mistake that is now forcing me to remove the intake. Do I need to replace the gaskets or can I leave the existing ones? (2-valve NPI/PI style intake gaskets)

    What is special about '96 GT/Cobra radiators?

    Why is there always a seperate radiator listed for 1996 GT's and Cobras? I'm transplanting a 2001 Cobra block with 2V PI heads into a 96 GT and I can't figure out what kind of radiator to buy.

    Exactly like the Steeda X2 but way cheaper ?

    Got my Steeda X-2's for nearly that much, new on e-bay. They solved much of my lowered front suspension woes. As far as similarity between the two products, I can't comment without speculating.

    Cam-cap cracked...how bad is this? *Pic's ->

    Thank you very much, Randy. I was hoping you'd post.

    Cam-cap cracked...how bad is this? *Pic's ->

    A gentleman just sent me these pic's of a set of PI heads he's wanting to sell. The latter-style cam-cap/girdle is cracked. What would've caused this? I don't see any damage to the cam or valvetrain in that area so the damage was most likely caused while the valve covers were off, or after...

    What radiator for 96 GT with 01 Cobra block & PI heads?

    What is different about the 96 GT radiator from the 97+ GT's? When shopping, it seems that SOHC/DOHC radiators are the same? I'm using a factory oil-cooler like this one: Is that going to have any impact on radiator selection? I'm not afraid of a little fabbing, so if any of you DIY...

    DSS Main Support - worth the dough or Waste of money?

    Ya know, Chuck... I have no idea. :) I want to carry over the oil pan that is in the car now to the new motor. It sounds like I won't be needing the main support, so no worries.

    DSS Main Support - worth the dough or Waste of money?

    Normally I would agree with your thinking, but since I'm facing another (roughly) $12,000.00 to complete this project, I need to be sure that I spend as wisely as possible.

    DSS Main Support - worth the dough or Waste of money?

    I have no reason to doubt you, Tom. DSS Main Support & ARP main studs = $331 +shipping ARP main studs + Windage tray = $260 +shipping (roughly) Seeing as I still have a new flywheel, clutch, electric water pump, oil pump, k-member, LT headers, head studs, and all the gaskets to purchase...

    DSS Main Support - worth the dough or Waste of money?

    Teksid block, near 700 supercharged HP... enough to need one of these? http://www.vtengines.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1499

    Clicking sound when turning... what is it?

    Well it seems to be, but I've learned when troublshooting something on a car, never to discount any possibility. Heck when the idler pulley started whining I thought it was something under the valve-cover...then it seemed to be linked to the A/C compressor because it would be silent until the...

    Re-use main studs on engine rebuild or get ARP???

    Thanks, Tom. I totally forgot to check VT's site. MMR's ARP mainstud kit for aluminum blocks is $380.00... Maybe I'm not reading something right. $200 from VT sounds like a better deal. I'm ordering a windage tray from them anyways.

    Clicking sound when turning... what is it?

    :doh: Forgot about the basball cards...haha. I'm going to install a Tubular k-member, tubular a-arms and new calipers and rotors... that will replace the a-arm bushings. I might replace the wheel bearings again while I'm at it, and if the noise is still there I'll just replace the whole...
