    Head, cam, intake install

    With that milage, I'd do a compression & leak down test..if those have solid results then go for it as new H/C/I/ are gonna put some umph to it. If the motor was cared for and not beat to death all should be fine. I might drop the pan and replace the oil pump.

    just curious, do yalls a/c's work??

    mine worked mint til I disconnected it last year. I was always amazed that it never lost a charge and worked and yet I never touched it, nor used it much from the day I bought it in 97.

    Thoughts on the new Ford Racing valve covers?

    Those are nice...plus I like the FRPP stuff myself. I got a set of the billet Alum to go on my new 331 and would like to find something that'll kill some RR noise. Those look like they damp some sound. Hopefully they clear our alternators as most cover like to hit, even FRPP stuff. They def look...

    Is this Milky Oil? And question bout leak and Oil tube

    This is my 1st time using an RPM. I was hunting for a Holley and had no luck and got a sweet deal on this one. I'd say a custom cam would meet your goals. You have parts equal to mine so if your after more low end hit a custom cam will do that. My old combo ran a Steeda 19 cam and it ran sweet...

    Is this Milky Oil? And question bout leak and Oil tube

    I'd say your getting some condensation in the oil...sorta like pulling off your oil fill cap and you get that same milky look... Winter temps, and if your in a cold climate that could add to it. If the oil & water looks normal I'd just keep an eye on it. My oil separator turns to milk as soon as...

    What belt are you using? Smog delete...

    Hard telling... I do run a March pulley set. If your all stock pulleys then maybe grab a 90 & the next size under.. if I remember they come in 1/4 or 3/8 increments? Murphy's law says you'll get the 90 and it'll be to long or the like... you know how that goes and you'll be headed back to the...

    What belt are you using? Smog delete...

    I went to Napa with my rachet and just went thru sizes out front til I found one the fell midway on the tensioner. Mines 89 and something. If you go to long it may max out the tensioner in short order and youll be back to get a shorter one. If I remember those belts ain't cheap either.

    Long Tube Headers Manufacturers

    I think those dudes will do up whatever your ask for. Chrome is gonna get that goldish heat tint/ bluing right by the heads, least mine did. I found nothing that would remove it as it gets pretty intense. Ceramic is the way to go... they always look nice.

    Long Tube Headers Manufacturers

    Your options are kinda limited. You can have Kooks do you up a set... thats about the only other name that comes to mind. Odds are you know the price of them. At one time I think Hooker may had made some as well. Never could get my hands on a pair. My Mac LT's have been thru 4 different motors...

    Thumper E7's Are they worth it??

    Ya that's what I got.... stock is 220 FWHP and I dyno'd at 302 FWHP. Not even sure Mike is still at it?? If I was gonna go that route I'd see if he had any GT40's done up. Add 100.00 and he do up a spring upgrade while he's at it then your good to go.

    Low Idle, Stumbling When Driving

    If your CEL is on due to the EGR delete just plug it back into the unit. You can disassemble plug connection from the unit, secure the plunger 1/2 way, and stash it on the firewall. Mines been off / deleted for 8 yrs this way and never throws a light. You don't need a tune to shut that off.

    Thinking Of Moving To New Hampshire. Anyone From There?

    a 50 mile radius from Logan puts you around Hampton, Portsmouth, Nashua, Manchester, Seabrook, Salem. Those are all good size towns. Hampton would most likely be $$$ as its kinda a resort town. Anything along the coast will be $$$ But there plenty of rental stuff all around due to the ecomony...

    Thinking Of Moving To New Hampshire. Anyone From There?

    Yowza.... looking for a place in Hampton is gonna be top dollar for sure if thats were you looked. Hampton beach is a prime spot around here. Look at some towns skirting that and the prices will drop. I have family in Chandler and Sierra Vista AZ and they get sick of the heat and sun as well...

    Thinking Of Moving To New Hampshire. Anyone From There?

    Hopefully you both like the cold cause its something to consider, especially coming from where you been living. Need to like Winter activities up this way. I'm kinda in the seacoast area and like being 40 min's from a nice beach or from the mountains...N.H. is pretty sweet that way. You gotta...

    My First 5.0 Problems To Look For?

    Sounds like a nice score... These cars are very dependable far as I'm concerned. You have any mechanical skills or know your way around a motor?? That would be a plus versus going down without a clue and starting up something thats be idle for years.
