    Weird problem with my car after it gets warm...... only sometimes though.

    I drove my car to my first car show of the year a couple Saturday's ago and had a great time except for a weird problem. The drive to the show was about 45 minutes and when I got there the oil pressure was 50+ psi and the water temp was steady at 190ish. I pulled into line with the other cars...

    I have my new 331 in the car but I have some clearance problems with my electric fan/radiator. I am using a Meziere 55 gph pump with an idler pulley but the idler sticks out further than my old setup. I am going to have to get a different setup. I will get a larger radiator since my current...

    Victor Jr's too big for a street car?

    I'm building a Boss blocked blower motor (331 or big bore 347) for my car this winter and am looking at a set of Victor Jr heads. I am looking for 500-550 rwhp and will be running a Vortech blower pushing about 10 psi. I still want to have some low end torque and am wondering if Victor Jr's...

    Electric or Standard water pump

    I am in the process of building a new 331 for my car. I will continue to use my blower on the car so I need a good cooling system. I am currently running a 190 degree t-stat and notice the car runs between 190-210 depending on outside temp. I was wondering is you get any better cooling with...

    Thinking about a cam swap.

    I am running a FMS E303 cam now and am making 402rwhp and 414 rwtq. I cam across a deal that I could buy an Anderson Ford Cam B-21 that would go well with my 1.7rr. Do you guys think it would make a noticable difference in power. Would it be worth it?

    I need to upgrade my tranny before it is worthless and want to hear some of your feedback on these two transmissions. Is one really better than the other. It appears that the A5 from Astro may be slightly better but I don't have first hand experience and would like to hear from you that do...

    Leaky rear main so I might as well do a tranny swap. Which Tranny?

    My engine has outgrown my T5 tranny and I am looking at replacing it before it is worthless.

Since I have to...

    Another replaced head gaskets and engine won't start thread.

    I had a head gasket that was seeping so I just replaced it this week. I put the engine back together and now it won't start. I never removed the distributor so the timing should be good. The only thing I did to the distributor was twist it a little to make room for the waterneck to be removed. I...

    G-Bar rear exhaust photo

    I know many people have been asking for photos of a rear exhaust while using a TCP G-bar suspension. I just got around to doing my tailpipes today. It had to be routed below the axle. I asked the muffler man to put flanges on the end of the muffler so that I could easily remove the tailpipes...
