    Valve Cover Holes - yes or no?

    A few cars ago (EFI) I had problems w/oil out the breathers and problems w/the pvc. I replaced non baffled covers for baffled ones, added the pot scrubbers, replaced the pvc, & added a fuel filter in line to keep an eye on an oil being sucked back thru. No oil no problem.

    oil pan for 351w in 68 mustang

    Does it matter if, for example, he had a MII front end or stock front end?

    Newbie mods for a 351w

    So unless he purchases heads he shouldn't do gears???? I don't quite follow, please explain a little more. Gears will wake up any undergeared combo, meaning geared for gas mileage over performance.

    Newbie mods for a 351w

    Yeah, tell us more about your current combo so we can accuratly help you. As bnickel pointed out... start w/gears. IMO every combo (minus turbos) should start w/gears.

    Newbie mods for a 351w

    How much money do you want to drop on the project? Is gas mileage important? What kind of intake on right now (other than Holley brand)? Off the top of my head... 650 DP, AFR 185/TrickFlow head, & custom grind cam. Maybe an intake swap, depends on the one on there now. You're going to...

    Electric Fan/Alternator Experts needed

    Brian, you'd want the temp controller to be more near the neck/thermostat housing. Stock location tells the current temp in the car so if it's at 180, but the fluid that was just let into the radiator is 200 then how can it get properly cooled? Mike, when you ran the stock rad and electric...

    Electric Fan/Alternator Experts needed

    A reading from the lower hose tells the temp of the water leaving the radiator. Once the 'fluid exchange' happens the fluid leaving is much cooler than the fluid coming into the radiator. SO, when will the fan power on? I know it will be temp based, but at what 'range'? How much room do...

    That looks very clean, I LIKE IT!! I don't see anything wrong w/the fenders or buckets now, maybe I'm missing something. I like my coupe, but man fastbacks are tits!!

    To the guys who did the rear mount battery; Where did you guys mount your battery cutoff switch?

    Electric Fan/Alternator Experts needed

    Why would you want to control the fan from the intake manifold? The dual fans will do you no good. Get a Taurus or Mark VIII fan. What are you worried about 'heat soak' for? That shouldn't be a problem, except for starters too close to exhaust. The rest of the motor will be fine w/a...

    Taurus fan install(in the process of)

    Standard welding wire. It comes in all gauges, is black, hundreds of strands, and double insultated. Also, get the lug ends when you are there; they are copper and need to be either hammered or use a vise to squeeze them on. I finish it off w/some shrink tube (both red and black) to make it...

    oil pump

    If the pump isn't broken, meaning it mantains good pressure, and no metal shavings went thru it, then don't replace it. If you need to replace it, then a standard pump will work. You don't need a high volume or high pressure pump.

    Coolant/Oil Mixing - found freeze plug in oil pan

    I agree, no need to change from permatex since I think it's just as good as AFR. You know, if it ain't broke... Are you going to pressure test the cooling system? You should be able to rent one from a parts store. Good luck!

    Taurus fan install(in the process of)

    If you need max cooling and can afford to upgrade the alt at the same time, then either the Mark VIII fan or the Taurus fan is your BEST bet, bar none. If you can foot an extra 120$ or so, then buy the DC Controller; if you can't/won't then a 75A relay, a fuse, a swtich, and the correct size...
