    Opinions on direction of my build?

    My friend's dad has a little S10 blazer with a 406....runs low 10s. Anytime I've been down at the track with him, it seems like if the weather changes 5 degrees or wind changes direction (exaturating) he is pulling plugs and changing jets. I just always thought carbs were very inconsistant...

    Opinions on direction of my build?

    I should have stated that the 351 was most definately gonna be carbed. I've seen a couple guys using a carb with a turbo, but those blow through carbs or inclosures are very pricey. I don't know a whole lot about tuning carbs, but it seems that the whole thing with changing jets with different...

    Grinding noise when i engage clutch :(

    if it's a T5 with an aluminum input shaft bearing retainer, you better plan on replacing the retainer also. If it's steel, you might be ok. If it is aluminum and it has any kind of a groove in it from the seized throw out bearing........REPLACE IT.......trust me, I just went through the same...

    I see you can buy one only a year or two old for mid 20s, I think it would be worth every penny. I just gotta convince the wife now....lol

    anybody here own a G35?

    My dad is visiting from seattle this week, so we rented him an Infinity G35 to drive while he is here. I drove the car to pick him up from the airport last night and I love the car. I had a blast weaving in and out of Chicago rush hour traffic with it. The auto-stick is just like a 5speed...

    rod journal resize on crank?

    Can the rod journals on a stock 351w crank be turned down enough to accept a SBC style 2.100 rod?

    IMCO mufflers? anybody got em

    I thought that the mufflers that were on my car when I bought it were flowmasters, until while pulling my trans today I notices that they say IMCO on them. I searched the net and found their website http://www.grabthepower.com/index.html. They sound good on my car. I thought they were just a...

    8 TURBOS in this TRUCK! New plans for my FOX :)

    I remember watching that. I also remember being very dissapointed in the sound quality...........couldn't really hear the turbos, but I do remember what your talking about with the headers.

    8 TURBOS in this TRUCK! New plans for my FOX :)

    I would have to think that anyone who has the skill to fabricate that setup and make it work is well aware that it is not the most power producing setup that he could come up with. It's obviously a show car and I bet he does very well at the shows. It looks awesome under the hood and if I saw...

    69 351w origin?

    I need to know what cars in 1969 came with a 351w 4v. I need a 28oz flywheel to use with my T5 in a fox body swap, but the button pushers at the local parts stores have to know what car the motor came out of to even look it up. I told them I need a flywheel for a 351w with 157tooth count, and...

    31 Spline Auburn Pro Any Good?

    I had a pro auburn with 31spline strange axles. I beat the heck out of it for years with MANY trips down the 1320. Only complaint was that when turning sharp at low speeds you could almost feel it try to hop a little bit.....but that's just par for the course with that kind of posi unit...

    figure this one out

    If reving it while sitting still........it hesitates for a split second before the RPMs start to raise. Like you said, it doesnt' do it if you increase the throttle slowly and I don't notice it while driving. Also, I did find out that the plunger on the EGR has a tear in it, but even with...

    figure this one out

    OK, I just took the upper back off. I did find that the vaccum tree on the bottom of the intake was a little bit loose. I took it all the way out to clean it up and put sealant on it, when I took it out, the part that is inside the intake was completely saturated with oil. I found this pic on...

    figure this one out

    yes, you can hear air being sucking in the throttle body when u blurp the throttle. I am going to try to take a short video to give a better understanding of this strange problem.

    351W intake question

    If you use a stock 351w truck lower....it uses the same pattern as some aftermarket intakes,but is completely different pattern than the stock mustang. Unless you get a 351w Lightning lower, then you can use a GT40 or Cobra upper, maybe an explorer upper(not sure about that last one)

    figure this one out

    I'm not sure if the mesh screen is in there, but I can pull the PCV out altogether and it is still sucking oil from somewhere. If I wasn't 110% positive that the intake gaskets were sealing I would pull it apart and do it again. I put new gaskets on it and even used a light film of silicone...
