I recently bought a mint 2003 GT convertible, with auto tranny. Love the car!
I have not taken any of the wheels off yet....no need to, so I have not inspected the brake system closely....the rotors look fantastic and the calipers look as new.
What I notice is a clunk (thud) that seems to...
I had MSD-6AL.
Sold it for a Crane Hi-6 system as I bought their new digital distributor as well.
Crane is UNREAL!!!!! The quality is top notch.
MSD is good as well, but many have had failures with MSD's boxes and distributors.
Also.....you can go to Crane's site and actually see...
Don't get caught up in thinking flow numbers are the only thing that is important.
look at this article:http://www.musclemustangfastfords.com/tech/0305_mmwicked
They use Canfield heads and do pretty damn good on a 392w!
Also, if you are looking at the flow numbers in the testing...
I had Edelbrock vic jr heads on order..........BUT, at the suggestion of my custom cam guy (Jay Allen), I went with Canfield 195cc heads for my 393w build.
They have CNC chanbers and I used the 54cc chambers to get my CR where I wanted. They also have other chamber sizes.
They are very...
I would throw out Canfield 195 heads as a good option.
Jay Allen at camshaftinnovations is the guy to talk to about them..........he can also make you a custom cam that will make a killer package.
I love my vic jr intake (Thanks to Jay Allen).......it ROCKS!
My heads were $1195 complete...
Do yourself a favor.
Get the Crane electronic street/strip distributor.
Why:
1) Gear compatable with any cam.
2) AWESOME quality.
3) No weights or moving parts to wear out.
4) Dial 9 different mechanical advance curves with a twist of the wrist, dial 3 different vacuum...
I have a 67 with a 8" rear behind my toploader behind my 393 stroker which puts out north of 500hp at the flywheel.
I will eventually build a 9", but it is working for now.
COMP PRO MAGNUMS.
I do NOT recommend any aluminum rockers,,,,,,the hardened steel roller eats into the aluminum and sends shavings throughout many engines.

Got a lot of my stuff from Speed-O-Motive............good prices, happy with quality.
Keith Craft is a highly regarded shop.
I really, really cannot say enough about Jay Allen at camshaft innovations...............EXCELLENT CAM, HEADS, AND SERVICE!
I am running aftermarket repos of Magnum 500's 15x7, I do think they are 4 1/2 " backspacing.
The rear end is a new take off so I think it is from 2005 to 2007.........part # is: FR3Z401BA
Guys, I need your help ASAP.
My 8 inch rear end is going to die shortly due to the brute force of my 393w.........
I can get a brand new 8.8" posi rear out of a late modle GT (2004-2006 style).
Anyone here know how wide those 8.8's are, and if they have the same 5x4 1/2 " bolt...
