    Turbo For Daily Street???

    i wonder what Wolfe and Feustel will say when I tell him I heard a 'slot maf' is the key to good running a turbo car. :)

    Turbo For Daily Street???

    the biggest issue is the maf reference voltage, and you cant change that. most turbos pull enough cfm early and peg it unless you play games with the signal. you can make it work at his target hp level, but an aftermarket SD setup will work better. and if he decides to start making more power...

    Turbo For Daily Street???

    ran a similar setup for 5 years. i had a 60mm turbo so i ditched the upper and went with a downs box. i would gear it just like anything else. a 302 with gt40p heads and a port matched cobra lower will make 450rwhp easily. intercooler will be a must. i had a single. its easier to work around...

    5.0 Missing Under Load When Hot

    a while back I was looking through my storage building and found a half dozen stock tfi distributors I have collected over the years and forgot about. I hit the junkyard lotto.

    5.0 Missing Under Load When Hot

    that's a common TFI module issue. the trans swap could just be a coincidence.

    Best Long tube headers

    it depends on what you use the car for. for a driver and can see how a collector leak is annoying. my mustang is a tagged and inspected street car, but we have other cars to drive so I just run copper gaskets or just silicon at the collectors depending what I have laying around. now that I think...

    Best Long tube headers

    sealing the collector is a seconadary issue to performance, that's where three bolt collectors have an advantage over ball and socket.

    Engine 351w Details

    My buddies motor is a 79 block and its fine. ive got a 94 and a 71 block and there isn't that much difference. its the 302 blocks that there is a more of a difference in, but an early 302 block has nothing on the worst Windsor block. I would use which ever one fits the stack height of the...

    Clevor 4v Heads

    stock Windsor flat tops should be fine out about 25* btdc intake open @.050 and to about 25* atdc exhaust close @ .050, check them anyway. if you are going to treat a Cleveland like a Windsor you are going to waste your time and it will be a dog. its a different animal. the 40 year old myths...

    if you father in law is Doug from TNR? the linkbar solids will work with any of the blocks. from what im told its the hydraulic roller lifters that the different oil hole locations need specific lifters. all the W blocks will work fine. either way you will have to drill the deck and make an...

    Clevor 4v Heads

    4v closed chamber 71 castings with 358" under them, a ford motorsport dirt track intake and a flat tappet cam, 10:1 compression on pump gas ran 6.80s@98 in the 1/8th mile normally aspirated. that's a 10.80 3000lb car. put a 4" stroke crank, a bigger intake, carb, solid roller and more...

    427 Windsor 460 Hp

    again, more rpm drop on gear changes with wider ratio, but appearantly you don't want to discuss that so the insults ensue. yeah, it was real tough getting my bachelor of science degree without the ability to read. im done here.

    then why would you recommend a wide ratio gear set knowing the converter he is planning on running?

    91 Gt Daily... Mid 12's

    IIRC 38-39 psi without manifold vacuum on the regulator. so pull the vacuum line.

    91 Gt Daily... Mid 12's

    bigger injectors and an uncalibrated maf wont solve the problem, it will give you others. namely, it will make it run very rich. what makes you think its lean? did you check the fuel pressure? run a wideband on it? even if it has gt40p's and everything works correctly, 19s will supply enough...

    find the cutting out problem you have before you start bolting a bunch of parts to it. the torque boxes are where the rear control arms connect to the unit body. http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/what-are-torque-boxes-on-the-fox-body.694553/

    91 Gt Daily... Mid 12's

    those stock maf's wont change the injector calibration. to run the 24s you could run a an aftermarket maf, or a 93-95 cobra pcm (which is pointless) or have your pcm tuned if you still want to run a stock 94-95 maf with the 24s. I don't really know why you would want to run a 94-95 stock maf...

    427 Windsor 460 Hp

    wide ratio = more rpm drop on shifts. tight converter = doesn't slip as much after the shift and mask big drop = worse shift recovery with a 12" 2000 rpm converter like he talking about vs. an 8" 5600 coan like I run. ask a converter guy if you don't believe me. that's what 'hurt you' meant. the...

    91 Gt Daily... Mid 12's

    you are going to have to hook it up and drive the :poo: out of it with stock heads on the motor. it will need slicks, axles, an axle girdle, quality upper and lower control arms, welded tq boxes or battle boxes, subframe connectors, a decent clutch and shifter and launch it off the rev limiter...
