    302 - 306

    More like a $1000 buy the time you also add a balancer and new flywheel, along with getting it all balanced. LxVert as stated early your best bet for your stated budget is the 306. As far as the pistons forged or hypers, many times it will have forged stamped on the pistons, but some...

    Help me with a stroker debate

    Coupe, I know this is not answering your question, but just a reiteration about the S-10. I raced a 85 S10 for 6 years with a 400 small block. Now I know it is more cubes than your comparison, but after much trial and error from me and my uncle, the best we could run that truck was 11.79...

    Whatcha guys think- Polished GT40??? Pic

    What method did you end up using to remove the paint Monte? Did the over cleaner work for you? Looking good on the polishing process. I know it seems sometimes like you will never finish, but it is well worth the effort in the end. Keep up the good work :nice:

    Tubular GT40 owners-need some 411???

    Anthony, you could use the 400 wetsand method, but I prefer the fine to ultra fine Scotch Pads. I was refering to using it to help remove the finish with the cleaner still on it, if it won't come off with a rag easily. Even a medium pad would work, I would use what you like the best, I...

    Code 67... Help!

    Need a little more info on when it does it and what problems it is causing you? Give us the processes you have went through. But I take it that when you are running the codes the trans is in neutral?

    Tubular GT40 owners-need some 411???

    I think it is an early form of powder coating, but it is fairly thin for a powder coat. Mine is finally started to come off after what... 17 years so at the least it is some good stuff for the time considering how hot it gets. I have removed the rest of the finish on mine and I suggest oven...

    liquid propane injection

    I ran a propane powered service truck for 5 years, when I worked for a propane company. As stated before the main benefits are clean burning, long engine life, and the ability for higher compression. But for a everyday car it is really not feasible, as the tank say a 60 gallon tank like I...

    1991 Mustang LX Smell Fuel in Exhaust, Bogging down

    Need more info on the computer and the Mass air. The computer is for sure a cobra unit? What is the Mass Air, is it a Cobra unit as well? Just asking since the cobra computer compensates for the injectors in the computer and not the Mass air.

    Injector oring replacment

    I have seen the kit that Liquid is talking about, but I figure if you have them out why not replace the caps too. The caps will be a bit of a pain to remove sometimes, but if you soak the new ones in hot hot water, they will be easy to put on

    Injector oring replacment

    You need to buy the cap and o-ring replacement set. They are only a few bucks a piece at the parts store or you can order them on e-bay through Mr. injector, I got mine in 2 days for them. Kit comes with cap, o-rings and new filters, for like $16.

    Having 2 filters and all the line to do the remote mount allows you to run about a quart more oil than the regular location. This is another reason that I think it has a remote mount turbo, with would require a little more oil, but allow you to keep the stock pan. I am really interested in...

    Recharging AC with the new stuff (retro kit). Low line is where?

    You can do the retrofit kits, but I don't recommend it. You really at the least need to replace the accumulator. It holds excess oil and traps moisture from the system. 134A and the older R-12 systems use different oils that are not compatible. In fact the reaction from them being mixed is...

    That is an oil filter relocation, easier to change the filter, but can make a mess on the nice paint!

    Low line is on the compressor and the high side is the other.

    Wondering if anyone knows any info on this car? Does it have a remote turbo, because that is a very large intake tube? Anyone know what pulleys those are? Or what power steering pump that is? One of my favorite engine bays!
