    is it possible to install oil pump shaft from distributor hole?

    Magnets are your friend. Get a decent magnet, drain the oil first. Use the magnet to locate the shaft by dragging it along the bottom side of the pan( you will hear it being dragged around once you go under it) Try and move it to the front of pan as far as you can. Then buy a flexible...

    my car is quiet!!!! (bad)

    Go with a straight through muffler. Even if it's not louder than what you have now at idle, at least you will gain some HP, flow masters are a horrible performance muffler.

    3.73 made me slower?

    Just match the opening of the intake, if it is a 75MM opening, go with a 75MM TB. If it's 70mm, go with a 70mm TB ect.. basically you want a smooth transition from TB to intake opening, going to big with for a lip that will catch air, and going to small will create turbulance. Just match it...

    Look at the thickness of those mounting flanges! Looks like a quality piece, and yes, they are turbo headers set up for a single kit. Open your eyes people....

    3.73 made me slower?

    Looks like your on the right track, probably gain 2-4 tenths once you learn how to drive with the new intake. I like progress threads like this!

    Help me with a stroker debate

    Tis a good question. I would tend to think that since a stroker has more leverage on the crank that it's going to produce more torque, but only if the crank stroke is longer that the 350 stroke. It would be interesting to see comparables.

    remember the guy...

    I would think T bolt clamps would work better. Or are you guys even aware they sell spring retainer clips just for this? Do what works for you, but don't recommend it safely to others. I had a spring pop out and hit me in the temple, blacked out, it *****in hurt. That was only using a pry...

    Made my first set of track passes with the 408

    Compression isn't going to affect a full second in the 1/4 mile. He's down maybe 20hp with the 8:1 compression. He's got a mismatched combo with junk suspension. Surprised it didn't go into a wall. Get that thing setup right before you go wrecking your car. Since I did full drag suspension...

    That is such a generalization you really can't answer it.

    How the hell is there oil puddling on my timing cover?!

    You should be able to tell if oil is coming out of the dipstick tube or intake, they are pretty far apart.

    wish my car ripped like this!

    Mine does rip like that, only better... haha, sounds good though. I'd like to make a high winding little stroker like that in the future.

    Why are all T-5 trannys garbage?

    Mine have all been great too, they are just rated at 300ft lbs of torque and that's what the 5.0 puts out stock. It's kinda like Hyper pistons, if you treat them fairly they will hold for awhile. If you beat on it, ****'s gonna break.

    Any good body shops or restoration shops that can work on a 1988 Mustang GT

    What the hell are you talking about. I work for an insurance company and we had QSG shops we recommend, AKA Quality Guarantee shops. They are not prohibited from recommending a BS, unless it's state specific, but I don't see that.
