    Cheapest Place to find Engine Stand!

    I got mine at some stupid "Made in China" crappy tools outlet for $60 CAD, it has been holding up my engine pretty well. Canadian Tire also has some for cheap so Pep Boys? should have some. Lifters: I used an egg packaging thing made of styrofoam. And for the pushrods, you can use a styrofoam...

    351w in a fox?!?!?!

    I just had to bump this up since I wanted to thank keith1991 for the info!

    I know I said, I was going carburated but...

    Thanks again for all the replies. I think I will buy the EFI parts (for that price, I am not loosing much anyway), I do have 4 months to find everything, if it doesn't work out I will find a used carb and intake for the time being. It is more expensive but EFI will resolve future headaches since...

    Your opinions

    Dump the A/C, that's a free mod not sure how much power it would give as AC systems don't take power unless you're using it. But I bet it would save a few pounds. Take apart the interior and remove all that tar stuff from the floor boards, another few pounds. Removing weight is cheap and effective.

    I know I said, I was going carburated but...

    I saw that in one of my old Mustang rags. I wonder if that still exists and what kind of crazy carb you'd need for that? Maybe it would clear a CobraR hood with a low profile air-cleaner.

    I know I said, I was going carburated but...

    Hehe thanks for the replies, much needed as I need to call the EFI guy this afternoon lol. I am getting a good cam and ported heads for this engine (as well as long tube headers) so it won't be 100% stock. I guess the stock 5.0 TB would be like adding a 500cfm carb to my engine rendering it a...

    351w heads 1971 are they a good upgrade?

    The 69-76 heads all use 1.85 and 1.54 valves with 60cc chambers and have rail rockers (PITA studs to deal with also). I don't know if that helps any?

    AOD to T5 swap

    Never heard of that either.. do a search here there is a super link to a tech article (damn it isn't in my bookmarks anymore - Or I'd post it). Imagine my problem: I'm doing a 4 banger auto to 351V8 5speed swap lol. My mechanical experience is from working on lawnmower engines and doing...

    I know I said, I was going carburated but...

    LOL So basically unless I find a 5.0L donner car for me to rob parts from, an EFI swap will cost a fortune? I thought (which could be more than wrong mind you) all I needed were: Lower 351 truck intake Upper 5.0HO intake (assuming it will fit) Intake gaskets Fuel rail (5.0, need to add...

    I know I said, I was going carburated but...

    12.95 is pretty good. But if you had the whole stock EFI setup, how could it take up more fuel than carb and have less power? I'm still learning this but if I see too many horror stories I will stick to my oringinal idea which is CFI.

    List of 5-speed donor cars or trucks?

    I think I had a T5 in my F150 V6. Everyone told me it was a POS but I never could break it, even with the many, many miles of off-roading. I even broke off a piece of the casing from riding in rough terrain. Anyway I will keep on looking, thanks for the tips

    List of 5-speed donor cars or trucks?

    I'm going to be searching for a 5-speed soon and I'm wondering which vehicles have transmissions I can use for my Mustang :shrug: If I don't find anything, I will be stuck with a T5 from a 4 banger :(

    nice V6 car photo

    Yup those mirrors have got to go :) I think that red Mustang might look like a truck because someone photoshopped some nasty tires on there.

    judging only by the interior, which car looks more expensive?

    I wonder how soft the lip is on the upper dash part on the Mustang? I can imagine people with wide dents on thier forheads after a crash lol.

    judging only by the interior, which car looks more expensive?

    Corvette? I thought it was a Tercel interior :p j/k

    Will a 5.0HO upper intake fit a 92 lower 351 intake?

    Thanks for the info, the seller has both upper intakes but the intakes from the truck are still bolted together. I guess the GT40 intake has the staggered ports?

    Will a 5.0HO upper intake fit a 92 lower 351 intake?

    I guess that is all? Thanks :spot:
