    please dont kill me but what do you think.

    I don't believe that is accurate. The Nissan makes plenty of power to get a 2800lb car up hills.

    Mikethebike, people will start liking you a lot more when you start liking yourself a lot less. Just a thought. Best pushrod engine ever? The LS7, Of course, not many people are making pushrod engines with 2007 technology.

    351W 408 Stroker Kit

    Performers are their worst flowing and only emissions legal heads, if I am not mistaken. There are a number of Edelbrock castings that far outflow them for about the same price. Plus, they have resale value if you change your mind, and they are at the front end of their flow potential rather...

    Carb Altitude Adjustments

    While I know prescious little about Carter two barrels, I do know that the air is thicker down here, so you need to make it richer, if of course, it was tuned properly for the elevation you were at in colorado.

    MSD setup

    I just ran mine with a Pertronix. Cheaper and easier than swapping out. These boxes work great with just about any trigger.

    351W 408 Stroker Kit

    Porting the factory W heads is a slippery slope. With a fresh short block, you will need at minimum a fresh valve job. If you are doing the valve job, you will want to install hardened seats on the exhaust side. To run a cam that won't crap out at 4000 rpm with 400 cubic inches, you will need to...

    Not road racing:Is Global West overkill?

    While GW is great stuff, I think it is overkill for the street.

    302 to 351W 69 Coupe. Fact Thread

    The main difference in the nomenclature of the two engines is height and width. What you need depends on what you have acquired to put in. If you have a complete engine from another 69-70 Mustang from carb to pan, with all brackets and accessories, you will only need to change the exhaust and...

    Bilstein Shocks

    I have a friend that will not run anything but Bilsteins on all his vehicles. He absolutely swears by them. I didn't even realize they made shocks for vintage applications.

    Header gaskets

    I wouldn't put manifolds on an aftermarket aluminum head. Those heads will outflow the manifolds.

    Edelbrock RPM Heads

    When you get a stroker kit, you get a new crank.

    Edelbrock RPM Heads

    I have them on my 39 351w based 393. No problems. Whatever motor you find, you may have to replace the crank anyway.

    Cam selection

    When I said "I don't want to sound condascending", I was referring to me, not you. :shrug:

    Cam selection

    I don't want to sound condescending, but you are very new to all of this. I see threads where you are questioning the opinions of people who have been doing this for a living for years. One magazine article and the consensus of a bunch of people on the internet (some very knowledgeable, some...

    Demon carb tuning...help

    OK, you will never see the vacuum secondaries open at idle. You need a load to get them to open, and it won't happen at idle. Many people are convinced that their secondaries aren't opening, they are wrong 99.9% of the time. What primary jets are you running? Was the carb working fine before and...

    Demon carb question, umbrella check valve

    I disagree. It is there to prevent the accelerator pump squirt from going back into the bowl where the fuel came from and out through the nozzles instead. A one way check valve, so to speak. Like the old check ball. These things deteriorate with some of todays fuels, btw.

    How big can the cam be...

    Yes. Vacuum advance can be disconnected and you can dial in the advance mechanically with a recurve. The tranny shifts at speed, and once performance cams are off idle, they create plenty of vacuum for the tranny.
