    Early Fox body question... 79-84 era inside please.

    Definately give that a read but here is my short version..... You can not use the Lincoln spindles nor can you use the lincoln rototrs on your early spindles. You can swap 87+ V8 spindles and then the lincoln spindles are a bolt on. You can have center cap clearance issues with some styles...

    Another F*%#$ nubi with questions.....

    My personal opinion is that the motor in these cars is pretty much the last thing that needs attention. That is of course if it well maintained and in a good state of tune. The poeple that have talked about stiffening the frame need to be listened to. Get all the chassis stiffening you can...

    Should I buy this 86 Capri RS ???

    Interesting. New one on my but that doesnt mean much. Had guy come over to my place last evening to pick up parts and he was driving what he claimed to be an 86RS. Had the all grey interior just like an 85-86 GT stang. I have seen plenty 85-86 Capris that were claimed to be RS models so Im...

    Those with Flowmaster Catbacks on their 5.0's!!!!

    Well no, bigger tubes wont fit if the mufflers arent made for them obviously. You might be able to have a muffler shop stretch the inlet/outlet of your mufflers to accomodate the bigger pipe since the inside of the muffler is the same either way. But the MAC's are a good choice. Thats all I...

    Power rating on 86 5.0

    A picture says a 1000 words. The style factor alone is worth not spending too much time worrying about the few HP that the 86 motors were down. Like has already been said, all you have to do to bring it up to post 87 HP specs is install some E7 heads and a later upper intake. Both can be had...

    Building a 331 (_(*`'

    I just wanted to stick my nose in here about the oil ring issue. I thought pretty much the whole reason for going with a 331 over a 347 was that the 331 didnt have the oil ring through the pin and would be a better street motor due to not having the oil consumption issues that 347's are known...

    Those with Flowmaster Catbacks on their 5.0's!!!!

    sounds like you have 2 1/4". And they do fit inside the mufflers.

    Should I buy this 86 Capri RS ???

    Ya. All RS's I have seen had the sport style wheel and I have never seen that color interior with Grey seats. And in fact have never seen that color interior in an RS. Although I have not seen all that many I admit. And its weird how the halo headrests are the tan color but the seats are...

    Should I buy this 86 Capri RS ???

    I dont claim to be a Capri expert but is that really an RS? That interior looks like a non-RS with RS seats.

    What are the symptoms for too much intake?

    what he said.....I dont think it would cause a stumble. You got something else going on there.

    Another Cam Saga

    Nothing stealthy about an X-cam. Even the E-cam is definately not stock sounding and the stage one sounds pretty close to the E. Thumper: How would you install that X-cam? 4* advanced?

    which flowmaster muffler is loudest and best sounding

    ....and this is why I run MAC's :D

    Bad to run no tailpipes?

    It wont break anything. You will just have more fumes and noise but I'm sure you already know that.

    Not running a Smog Pump, cool or not cool

    My experience says its just fine to run without it and I allways do. Some will say that it will shorten the life of your cats if you still have them but I never run them so I cant say. Then others say it wont hurt the cats but will only increase emissions. As far as belt length, I have not...

    Build a 408w or Put a SC on my 302?

    I would say those 215cc heads would work alot better on a stroker of some sort than on a 5.0. I would do the 408 with a carb if the car was a 4cyl conversion or already converted to carb but If the car is EFI, I dont think I would convert it. I would probably do a 347 so you could resue any...

    wanna trade cars?? black GT or tripple black GT convert wanted!

    If that combo is unstreetable, then something is wrong with it. I would also like to know what you know that the rest of us dont that makes that combo put out 375-450hp NA. One of my cars has almost the same combination and I know damn good and well that it doesnt make that kind of power. Its...

    Moroso cold air intake vs. stock air box w/K&N

    I've used the ram air kit before and I could have made much better use of that $125. Any advantage from the ram air affect was totally negated by the fact that the filter plugged up with leaves and anything else it wanted to suck up damn near daily. Save your money!

    Popping exhaust at full throttle?

    Just a shot in the dark but since you said you replaced the plugs and wires, have you made sure all the wire boots are securly on the plugs? I have had new wires back off the plug terminal from building pressure in the boot. The symptoms are just like what you are experiencing. Make sure they...

    Running Boost on a 93 motor? Hypereutectic piston question.

    Is RPM range a consideration with hyper pistons? I have a fresh 306 with speed pro hyper pistons and I am trying to decide between using it and a stock forged bottom end on my new combo but I plan to spin it to around 6500. Will the hyper pistons live with that? Its N/A so RPM is my only worry.
