    Headgasket?

    Not to hi-jack the thread.. but I need to run a compression test on one of my cylinders. #1 doesnt seem to be firing correctly and when I pulled the plug it looked like it had burnt oil on it. To run a compression test, I just get a compression test tool from like Autozone or the like, pull...

    H/C/I Combo advice and possible numbers?

    Thanks for the link, much appreciated. I'm going to port the E7's Im giving him but after some poking around I'm hoping he'll just go with the Thumpers. I'm confident in my ability to port the heads and do a solid and quality job of it for a home-grown porting job but I certainly cant come...

    H/C/I Combo advice and possible numbers?

    HA! I'm in a new house as well. About 5 months for us but I had my truck in the garage and in peices the first week. Your lucky to have a two car setup. I have one of those horribly narrow one car things. When my trucks pulled in you have to set it so you can either pass behind or in front...

    H/C/I Combo advice and possible numbers?

    Hehe, My garage looks like three or four completely unrelated cars exploded in it.. scattering parts here and there. I have 67 Mustang rear quarter skins, misc parts from my F-150 that got tossed in the swap, some extra e7 heads, cut and hacked bits of metal, bolts, transmission peices, misc...

    H/C/I Combo advice and possible numbers?

    Yeah, the Trick Flow one. I dont care for the way the upper intake looks, but I'll get over that. Looks like a hell of a combo to me. Of course, the h/c/i on my engine is a long way off.. I have a fair amount of other crap I'd like to take care of beforehand but maybe by next year.. *sigh* ...

    H/C/I Combo advice and possible numbers?

    Excellent and thanks very much. He recently bought a very nice short block we'll be using for the build and it came with pretty much everything we need. Gonna have to get head bolts, lifters and the like though. Anyway, much appreciated man. I cant wait to get started on this.. Should be a...

    H/C/I Combo advice and possible numbers?

    He isnt trying to cheap out at all. We're just trying to make the most of what we have. The budget for this project is small and I know that if you want big power, you need big money.. But we arent after big power or anything. We're just trying to make the most of the money he has to spend which...

    H/C/I Combo advice and possible numbers?

    Yeah, I have all the tools that would be needed. We also have all the gaskets and such that we'd be needing. Already have a full engine gasket set bought from Fel-Pro. I'm glad someone posted on the fuel injectors. I forget, heh. I was hoping we wouldnt need to upgrade to 24# or anything. I...

    H/C/I Combo advice and possible numbers?

    I know this question and a few of its derivitives get posted pretty often so I did a search but didnt come up with what I was needing. So if this exact thing has been covered before I apologize but I was unable to find it. Anyway, A friend of mine is looking to start a little 5.0 Project...

    Identifiying A9P EEC.

    Its a little odd. The car it came in was an 89 LX, the car the engine and harness were supposed to have come from originally was a 92 GT. The guy I got the car from had bought the 89 as a chasis and suspension only. He was in the process of assembling a little mess-around track car and using...

    Identifiying A9P EEC.

    I have an A9P Computer and harness that came with the engine I bought for my truck. Since I ended up just sticking with my trucks electronics Ive decided to sell the computer and matching harness. I just need to know how to identify the exact year car the computer came from so I can post it...

    Mr. Gasket Thermostat.. Where to buy?

    Gonna ditch the no-name stat I have later this week and go ahead and get a new one. I think mine is stuck open right now anyway. Where do I get one exactly? I called the local Advanded and Autozone but they both said they dont carry them.. I was also wondering what I should expect to pay? I...

    My 87 interior...spray paint??

    VHT Vinyl Dye. Its a spray paint but its designed specificly for your purpose. It comes to like 8$ a can around here and takes a fair number of them to get the job done but its EXCELLENT stuff. Ive used it on several interiors over the past couple years and to date none of them has had a...

    Truck 5.0 in my fox body....

    With 1500$ to spend you could get some AFR 165's. Ive heard them well recommended and I *think* they come in around 1200$ off Ebay or something. I know I saw a set of 185's for 1300$ buy it now. You wont be getting anywhere near 275hp with only 1500$ though. Personally I'd stick with the...

    Truck 5.0 in my fox body....

    The firing order might not actually differ. Depends on the year I guess. The 5.0 that used to reside in my truck used the HO firing order, but wasnt an HO. *shrug* As to the power difference, I *beleive* the later model (early 90's) 5.0's available in the F-150's were rated at 190hp at the...

    HELP! Just got car back but ....

    Those EGR lines wouldnt cause it to run poorly. Alot of poeple unhook them. I dont have mine hooked up at all. If its backfiring when you get on it some and its jerky at lower RPM my guess is timing or a misfire. I'd have someone verify your timing, or do it yourself if you have a light. Also...

    car just up and dies for a split second

    So it dies and restarts on its own and once warmed up it no longer does it? Does it die suddenly or sputter a little and catch? My truck does something similar when its cold but what its actually doing is flooding out. When I give it any gas at low RPM before its warmed up it floods...

    Slow Mustang

    I had a Toyota Paseo (Yeah, I hear you all laughing at me but I swapped the stock engine out so it wasnt *that* slow..) that did that. Some days it felt responsive and quick and some days it just felt sloppy and sluggish.

    Identifying Gears?

    Allrighty.. I just did as instructed and for one full 360* rotation of my tire the driveshaft turned about 1.5 times. It came around one full time and half way again. The truck was in drive with the driver side tire off the ground. The passenger was still down. I didnt think that would effect...
