    Felpro 1250 Intake Gaskets Are Trash!!

    I've never had a problem with the 1250's, 1262's or 1262R's. I always use the cork end seals too. Are you sure your torque wrench is ok? If you store a click type torque wrench with a setting other than "minimum" it can stretch the spring and ruin it. I almost wrecked a set of drag lites once...

    96 Cobra

    I've never seen any high RPM gear change problems with the TKO 600, and I shift at 8000 RPM with a McLeod Soft-Lok. High RPM shift issues are more likely due to the fact that many clutches will simply not release in the 7000 RPM range. I don't think this has anything to do with the transmission...

    99 gt port and polish stock heads?

    I've had good luck with Total Engine Airflow for porting. I ported my own PI heads and used a P-51 intake, but if I had it to do over again I would send the heads to TEA and just get a plenum and Throttle body. If you are porting the heads, upgrade the cams too. I used Comp XE262AH and would...

    Best clutch for power adder with 450+ rwtq

    McLeod 800 series is the best clutch you can put in a car like that. I've beaten the hell out of those clutches and never had a failure, even under 5500 RPM drag launches on slicks, and because they are not a puck clutch they don't chatter. Pedal feel is slightly lighter than a King Cobra...

    More EFI problems

    If you are talking about the two connectors that are on the driver's side near the firewall on the Mustang and connect the engine harness to the chassis harness, that sounds like a 1990 harness to me. The later harnesses use a single (brown) connector at that location. This seems especially...

    351W Assembly Instructions Anyone?

    If you ask me that Al Kirschenbaum book - 5.0 Technical Reference - is worth full price. Everyone should have a copy. -Matthew

    Try an alternator off a 94/95 5.0 Mustang. Any parts store will sell you a new or rebuilt one that will work fine. -Matthew

    Global Mustang Dyno Day

    The details for the Tecmotion location are on my web site - basically, just give me a call to get on the list. If you are looking for a location in Saskatchewan or BC, check the dyno-day.com web site - There is a shop locator there. I think this should be a pretty fun event, and it will be...

    header install

    I installed the bassani midlengths. I like the headers, but I had the heads off too, which makes the install a lot easier. On the passenger side, you can bolt the header up to the head and drop the whole thing in as an assembly. On the driver's side, you can bolt up two of the tubes tight and...

    351W guys need some help with the clutch

    I used a rebalanced Mustang flywheel with a McLeod 800 series clutch on my 351W, then switched up to a steel Ford Racing flywheel with the 28.2 oz external balance. Both worked fine, though with the abuse I gave the car I always worried about that cast flywheel coming apart, which is why I...

    which injectors? 24# or 30#

    Assuming this car is actually going to run the supercharger, I would suggest at least 42# injectors. Save yourself the trouble of having to buy another set of injectors once you hook the supercharger up. I ran 30's on an N/A 351W setup with a solid roller and TFS Track Heat heads. At 3500 ft...

    Esterhazy

    You know I heard that some of these Southern Saskatchewan Airport drags were a hoot, and I'm not above loading the car up and driving east to check out an event like this. I can't do it on no notice though. Actually, I find that it's fairly problematic to locate all of the little drag racing...

    fastest street car shootout saskatoon

    Well, I won the outlaw class and ran a best 10.70@131 on motor only. There were a couple of cars faster than that but they broke or were disqualified for not having the necessary safety equipment or credentials. Not a lot of Mustangs on site, but thankfully I put the blue oval in the winner's...
