    Oil Pan for 351w

    The crank scraper is a nice feature, but plan ahead on this one; is the crank scraper stroker clearanced? If not you could be in for a surprise down the road when you decide to build that 408W :bang: Not that you would destroy anything, the pan wouldn't simply fit. However the $, the $$...

    Oil Pan for 351w

    I got the Moroso Road Race oil pan. P/N 20505 Don't mind the water/oil mix at the bottom of the pan, it's taken care of. :rolleyes: At least you can see the baffles and the doors. I haven't driven the car yet with it, but it looks like it will get the job done!

    Popping through Carb, WILL NOT start?

    The distributor is 120 degrees wrong is my first reaction, however your method should be getting it right. Have you checked the fireorder? Also, with all that cranking on the starter motor, do you have enough juice to start it ? Also, could the carb or intake be drawing false air ?

    Why won't my wheels fit?

    I've posted these images before, they show a 17x8 rim with 4.5" BS on a shelby dropped '69 Mustang. There's not much clearance!

    What a sweet car, the detailwork is amazing, and so is the stance!

    Critique my engine

    I've been drooling a bit over that one. The Trans-Am vibes are too strong! - Can't resist it! Do you know anything about when it will be released for the 351W ?

    Critique my engine

    I'd like to see the Crane optical distributor get some spotlight too. I got it, and love it! For damper: Damper tech tread on Corner-Carvers. Looks like ATI got their vote.

    302 REAR OIL SEAL LEAKING, STILL

    How is your crankcase ventilation ? If it's not vented properly, it can build up pressure and blow gaskets or seals.

    what is the max rpm for a stock 351W crank?

    The edelbrock Preformer RPM cam has 6500 rpm as upper limit, and is not the wildest cam out there. I think there should be no problems. Valvetrain has more to say in rpm potential than the crank imo.

    1967 Cobra??

    There are 14 to be know to exsist of those 26 cars, The Shelby Registry has them listed. I don't know if the 12 others are confirmed to be destroyed, or if there are still unaccounted for. A friend of mine owns the car that was given to Bosse Ljungfeldt, and taken to europe after it's T/A...

    Oh the pain, the pain!

    I feel your pain, Jerry! My brother found some PO shortcuts when he restored his '70 Barracuda 2 years ago. Not fun at all. What was supposed to be a quick re-spray turned out to a full restoration, costing 3 times as much. All I can say is, hang in there, It'll be worth it in the end!

    Not road racing:Is Global West overkill?

    +1 If you buy GW, you will not regret it. But are you gonna regret not buying? Got the TCP stuff myself, loves it! Even if you're not going racing, there are those times when a good tune comes on the radio, and you get into a little more "spirited driving".

    TCP manual rack and pinion vs. manual steering rebuild

    Mike, intressing project you got going on! Keep us updated! And :Track: I've got the Power TCP Rack, and I'm very satisfied with it. It's worth every penny. It replaces the bottom center brace in the car, and becomes part of the bearing structure. It's very easy to install, and has will...
