    347 Installed but won't start...please help!

    Well everything is in but when I turn the ignition the starter solenoid makes a loud click or nock noise and then nothing..no spinning, no turning..nada. What could this be? The cars been sitting about 5 months and the starter was working fine before the build. The battery reads 12.01 v DC so...

    5 questions about finishing my engine!!!

    HISSIN50, I was thinking of in front of the condenser for the oil cooler...I've got a stock style water pump and a 180 thermostat, but I am installing a Fluidyne radiator (Its purdy ;) so I'm hoping that will solve any cooling issues (then again, I still live in FL).. anyway, the heads are...

    Does anybody make longtube headers for our cars besides BBK?

    I went with 1 5/8" MACs (see pics) and I'm happy with them. I also have the AFR 185 heads. AFR uses a D port on the exhaust side which is great for flow, but its wider than the header tube. VibrantRedGT went with the 1 3/4" header tube and he had to clean up the welds too. From what I can...

    5 questions about finishing my engine!!!

    347 Build IN PROGRESS!!! Pics inside

    I'm gonna try to get the engine back in the car this week and get her started next week. Got a couple questions: 1. Do you guys think I should stick with my overdrive pullies for starters or do the initial tune with the stock pullies. 2. Should I bolt in the headers on the stand or...

    #8 spark plug fouls VERY quickly and car runs like CRAP!!!

    So you did replace the intake gasket? Did you examine the old gasket? Did you use a sealant around the water jacket next to that intake port? Have you run the car since you did that? I don't necessarily think that its a head gasket leak, but it is possible to have a leak near a water jacket...

    Any repair for broken nipple on the radiator to te reservoir?

    how big is the hole? If its not too big, I'd drill it, tap it and put in a brass fitting with teflon tape..

    #8 spark plug fouls VERY quickly and car runs like CRAP!!!

    sorry, I would have responded sooner but I've been starring at yer Avatar for about 10 min now.lol.. Do you have the equipment to do a compression check to rule out a head gasket leak? Also could be that water gallery on the intake gasket and that coolant is getting into your mixture. Could...

    347 Build IN PROGRESS!!! Pics inside

    RIO - Yeah, there is actually an opening plate on the bottom of the upper (~1/8") that still needs attaching, otherwise, the rear would fit fine. The real challenge is the drop that the adapter puts on the TB, that's about 3/4" off. Vibe: I wanna say its around 9.3:1; won't be the highest...

    347 Build IN PROGRESS!!! Pics inside

    Thanks, I'm stoked (and stroked) :D Had to get the spacer cause I just love the tall Ford Racing valve covers..The only thing I'm mildly worried about is the torque curve due to the extra inch in the intake. If I don't like it I'll just clean and paint the stock covers and use those. Since I...

    347 Build IN PROGRESS!!! Pics inside

    FINALLY! I spent the last 2 days working on my 347 after getting my block back from the machine shop. This is so much fun..I'll have to wait till my next off cycle to finish her, but I'm off to a good start. The stroker kit I used was from CHP. I was pretty impressed with the quality. This...

    Best LT's?

    Yeah, I will admit I had some concern about that...is that something I can port out on the headers or is it more restrictive than that?

    Best LT's?

    Well, I guess we've officially hijacked this thread so sorry, but I guess it could still be considered educational LT discussion :D Anyhow, Vibe, I called Pacifica (and a few other dist.) and they didn't have the 1 3/4 but they did have the 1 5/8 so thanks, I'll get em quicker. I decided to...

    Best LT's?

    I'd love some feedback to that question, it seems both headers are back ordered so I have a little time if I want to change my mind. I had heard that over 400hp the 1 3/4"/3" start to make sense but that up until that point I'm better off with the 1 5/8"/2.5". Its a street application and I...
