    oxy acetylene + control arm (need advice)

    I would. Those are all soft metals, the bolts in the control arms will eat them in seconds.

    oxy acetylene + control arm (need advice)

    A reciprocating saw will work, just make sure you spend the extra $$$ on good blades that are rated for stainless or hardened steel. You'll hill 2 or 3 standard steel blades per bolt if you don't.

    Anyone have any experience with Astro Performance?

    I have dealt with Tony at Astro and have nothing but good things to say about them, and have heard others say the same. If you read the add on that tranny, it's good for 400 HP, but only for 275 Lbs of TQ. In other words, it's a stock rebuilt world class T5. Most Tranny's can handle a ton of...

    no gas on 15th

    Look at it this way... The ONLY reason gas prices are so high is, 'cause they can. Plain and simple, it doesn't matter what the price is, we need it, and we'll buy it. The industry is well aware of this, and generally operates on the "If a little profit is good, more is better" theory. Also...

    79 Mustang Gas Tank & Sending Unit

    The '79-'81 tank is completely different from the '82-'85 carbed tanks, and the '86-'95 FI tanks... Unfortunately, they are not available new, and pretty hard to find used as well. You can either have your tank lined and repainted, or use the '82-'85 or the '86-'93 tank. You will need to use...

    Swapping from E6SE heads to GT40 irons

    Should be E7's on that truck motor... But either way, the truck engines used a cast version of the '87 up H.O. piston, so you should be fine.

    gt-40 / gt-40p specs needed

    I have a 670 Street Avenger on a Performer RPM. I had to use longer pushrods, but that was more the cam than anything. Both the GT40 and the P head are set-up for stock pedestal mount rockers.

    Any of you guys reeeeallly close to Canada?

    I live in Sarnia, On, right across the river from Port Huron, MI. I have an account with a company that accepts all my packages for 5$ a parcel. I have whatever shipped there, scoot across, pay my 5 bucks, and take a chance at the border. Even when I do have to pay taxes and duty, it's still...

    gt-40 / gt-40p specs needed

    Yes, the P is slightly better with smaller 58cc chambers, relocated spark plug and a better flowing exhaust port. But they do require a P specific header, or BBK or MAC LT's to clear the different plug angle. Don't bother testing the springs, even new they're too weak for the F cam. Trick Flow...

    Hi-Torque Starter Wiring Question

    You had it wired correct. (Big wire from + side of relay to big stud on starter, small wire from switched side of relay to small stud) I had to enlarge the hole on my factory cable to use the mini starter as well. I would go through and ensure everything is tight, and the 2 wires aren't...

    Does this seem like a good deal? (Never dealt with D & D before)

    They state that it's a "Ford Motorsport Block" and that it's rated for 700HP as built.... Last time I checked, FRPP no longer carries a production 5.0 bare block. I'm willing to bet that it IS at least the B50 "Sportsman" 5.0L block due to the price. I would contact them and find out.

    stangnet says 28 autozone says 50!!

    I think it's safe to say that, as usual, Autozone is clueless! ALL 351W motors are 28oz balanced from the factory. I highly doubt that a high volume rebuilder is going to take the extra time, and cost to re-balance the crank to 50oz. I would try to obtain the name of their rebuilder, and...

    Friction disk Question!!

    Plenty of people run the 4 pot T5 without issues, including me. Even though it has a lower tq rating, it will last as long as the V8 version provided it's taken care of and you are a good driver. The T5, in it's various factory forms, was designed with 4 and 6 cylinder engines in mind, not...

    351C Engine Swap

    The T5 will work with a 351C, but I'd seriously look at an aftermarket box like a TKO, Liberty or Gforce... A healthy 4V Clev will eat stock T5's for lunch. Hooker and Hedman both make swap headers for a Cleveland in a fox, and the swap oilpan is available from both Canton and Moroso. For motor...

    Longtube & starter issues!!!

    The SN starter IS a high TQ mini starter. Ford started using them in '92 on everything. If it came off of a '92 or newer I6, 3.8 V6, 5.0, or 5.8 it's the PMGR mini starter and it will work for you. There's a little re-wiring to do, but it's pretty easy. Switch the big starter wire from the...

    THANKS STANGNET!

    Roland, you suck! I live in Sarnia, Ont. and the Smog Nazi's are brutal. How the hell did Port Elgin get out of it? Tom, race ya to BC for her...:D
