    Can I use a fox smog pump?

    As the title asks, can I use a fox smog pump in a 94? What I'm really looking to know is if it will physically bolt up *and* not give me any belt alignment trouble. Fiddling with the hoses is no problem. Thanks! :flag:

    Starter / O2 sensor harness routing

    Regarding the harness that routes to the starter and also containing the O2 sensor connectors and probably some other stuff as well. How does it route? It's got 2 brackets on it that bolt somewhere, but I haven't been able to figure out where they bolt up.

    Quick water pump bolt question

    So I've got a 94 that I didn't take apart myself, but I'm putting it back together. Do these use bolt/stud fasteners on the waterpump like the foxbodies do or are they all normal bolts?

    Baro sensor questions

    Does anybody know the method by which a MAF equipped EEC-IV uses the Baro sensor signal to adjust the fuel delivery? I've got a car that's running rich, and my MAF signal is reading 1.4 volts at idle, when it should be ~ 0.6 volts. With the key on, but the engine off, I have 1.09 volts...

    Can't find a code list, trouble codes, running rich.

    Either it's not a sticky, not posted, or I'm blind, but I've been searching for 2 hours and I can't find a list of codes for a fox. I found several for OBDII though! We have a lot of great stickies, but I don't actually see one for pulling fox codes and what the numbers mean once you have...

    transmission

    I'm a fox 5.0 guy, but I've got a friend with a 95 v6 automatic, but he's a Nissan guy. It his wife's car, and she really wishes it were a stick. He decided he'll do the conversion for her, and came to me asking what he needs. I said :shrug: But I figured I'd ask here. I've caught wind that...

    5 speed conversion

    I'm going to do a 5 speed conversion on a 94 with a v6. Some things I'm not sure about. Is the driveshaft length the same between the automatic and manual cars? Does the v6 use the same manual bellhousing as the v8, or is it different? Is the transmission "bolt-in" interchangable...

    Rod ratio. Don't hate me

    So the combo I'm looking at will have a 1.45 rod ratio. I can get a long rod in there and get 1.55. But it's considerably more expensive for what seems like not that much of a difference. Should I even bother? Is a 1.45 going to be an issue?

    Custom Pistons

    So I need to buy some custom pistons, something I've never done before, so I have no clue who I should go to, and who I should stay away from. The block is going to be a clevor. Is there any reason why I shouldn't get a piston that will give me a zero deck? What are things worth...

    Bore out connecting rod?

    I want to take the small end of a connecting rod from 0.912 to 0.975. Any reason why I can't do this? Stock 351C rods.

    Anybody know what the diameter is on these things? I can't find the info anywhere. I know usual ford is .912, but I hear rumor the M used a bigger wrist pin, but no numbers. Thanks! :SNSign:

    *Mercury Capri* Headlight Mounting Panel

    Hey guys, I've got an 85 Capri and I need a headlight mounting panel. I know this isn't a heavy Capri forum but hopefully there's a few of you out there. This panel is a bear to find, I've got one from an 82 Mustang, but it doesn't fit right, so now I need to find a new one. I'm wondering...

    Pilot bearing/input shaft.

    Alright, I should have done my research first. Now I'm kicking myself. But nevertheless. I got ahold of a 4banger trans to put behind my 5.0 so it can be driven around. I did not know about that input shaft difference, so I just bolted it right up without changing the pilot bearing or the...

    Clear up some conflicting 351 info...

    Well I've been trolling around digging up info on that loved topic of 351 swaps, and I'm getting some somewhat conflicting info on changing a non-roller block to roller. Everybody agrees to drill holes for the spider and do some grinding so the dogbones sit flush and you can then use stock 302...

    Another windsor thread (sorry)

    Alright I've been doing some searching around on the forums and I've dug up most of the information that I think I'll need, but I wanted to get some for sure clarification on some stuff. The scenario: I have an 86 foxbody 5.0 with a 5 speed. I recently purchased an 88 full sized Bronco for...

    Quench Question

    As cylinder pressures go up does the need for quench go down? I would think for all other things being equal. You'd get more of a shockwave with 200psi cylinder pressures than you would with 100psi. But sometimes things are just counter-intuative, so I ask instead of assume.

    Engine builders please

    How much of a big deal is it to have a balanced rotating assembly, how much slop can I have without the motor really throwing itself apart? I'm building a rather frankenstein combo because I have extreemly limited means. Have the whole thing balanced is going to cost quite a bit of change...

    What do I have?

    I just bought a 69' 302 long block with 32k original miles out of a Mercury. It's too dark for me to really read any of the numbers on it. I think the head casting numbers might be under the valve covers. It's defanently not a boss engine, but other than that, I have no idea what I have...

    lifters/pushrods questions/early 302 gurus please.

    Okay bear with me on this one. About lifters... Are solid lifters going to be the same height as hydraulic lifters? If so is this going to be true for roller and non-roller lifters? Is anybody familiar with the late 60's early 70's 302s and could tell me what kind of lifters they had. I would...

    "clevor" valve clearance question.

    Does anyone know offhand about how much additional p\v clearance the 2.05 intake valve in a 351c 2v head is going to need compared to the no valve relief flat top 86' 302 piston. This is will be with a stock foxbody cam and 1.73 rockers Right now my combo will have stock 351c pistons 0.045...
