    Possibility of a Motor and Trans specific section?

    how so? Everything is pretty well broke down by Model and year? It's a PITA to try and find info on a Fuel Injected 500hp 408 in the Classics forum, Where do I search? I can and have searched the entire forum, but come back with 100's of useless posts, same with trans setups and mods. Just...

    Possibility of a Motor and Trans specific section?

    I would like to see a Specific place for engine build ups, mods and rebuild, as well as for trans swaps, upgrades and rebuilds. I know With my car (72) that a lot of the parts I'm using aren't era correct, and a good majority of the engine and trans tech isn't 100% model specific. It sure...

    Best Place to get a 408 Kit

    I picked up my new, used motor and want to start collecting parts. Where is the best place to get a 408 kit? I checked Suumit and Jegs and they have 408 longblocks and runners but no stroker kits. I also Checked CJPony and didn't see one there. In addition this block will need machine...

    94 5.8 efi and EAOD trans

    I'm picking up a 94 5.8 and Newly rebuilt EAOD trans out of a 4x4 F-150. The engine won't crank, and were not sure if it's a starter issue, if something is broken in the engine or if something is wrong with the trans. Either way it's $200 for everything including the ECM. I'm wanting to build...

    Banana in the tail pipe...!

    Park it on a steep uphill and let it idle.... I don't know if it is true, But in offroading they say not to start your engine if your tailpipe is underwater because it can suck water back up the tail pipe. maybe if it is you suck up enough to get your O2's wet. try pulling them and drying...

    8.8 rear end

    8.8 are all over the place in Montana too although not many of the 31 disk brake units have been showing up, the 31 drum units though are easy to find for under $200 all day long. Here if it isn't a 4x4 truck it doesn't sell, so the junk yards are full of older expoders:nice:

    8.8 rear end

    Not that it's a huge deal, but the design of the 9" and how low the pinion sits in relation to the ring gear, causes more drag, and therefore more power loss through the R/P, but more gear to gear contact with the 9" so stronger R/P:shrug:

    Oh the falling leaves....springs

    Most of the stuff I've been ordering has been drop shipped, but even then, The stuff I've ordered from CJ pony parts have arrived weeks faster then the parts I've ordered from others. I think it has to do with how they handle the drop ship, some places have the Manufacturer ship them the item...

    Odd oil pressure readings - help

    I'm guessing that the pump is pulling the oil faster then it can drain back. starving it of oil and causing the drop in pressure, or that's the theory.

    Project Check2Check My 72 Restomod

    The other cars aren't mine. The seats are comfortable and sit well in the car. They do make me sit a fuzz higher then the old seats but I blame that on the old seats being worn out and the foams being broke down.

    Picked up a EFI 351w out of a 94, IIRC it should be a Hydro Roller rocker motor, that comes with a newly rebuilt AOD trans too..... Should be a good candidate for build up?:nice:
