    AFR heads but what cam?

    Hi all, I'm building a 302 for a '71 Maverick I have. I've decided on the AFR 165's Non Emissions heads and a dual plane intake like a Performer RPM or a Weiand Stealth. But I can't decide on a cam. I'd like a some what lumpy idle but still maintain good street manners. I have a B cam...

    Cobra IRS swap questions

    I have a '95 GT. I know alot of guys swap out the IRS for a solid rear axle on the Cobras. I would like to swap my solid rear axle for an IRS. Is this a bolt in or is there alot of fabbing to be done? I thought I read somewhere that the IRS uses the same mounting points as the solid axle.

    I have a '95 T-Bird Swapping in '99 newer 4.6

    I have a '95 T-bird with a knocking 4.6 Since I have to replace the engine I figured I would swap in a 4.6 from a newer '99 up Mustang to take advantage of the extra power. Would this be a direct bolt-in? Also what are some things that can be done to coax say another 40 or so horsepower out of...

    How much power/mileage difference

    Well I kind of wanted to go with the carb set up cause I didn't know if I wanted the look of the EFI. But today I was going through a Summit and found an intake make by BBK called the SSI Series I think looks pretty cool so I may go the EFI route with one of these BBK intakes.

    How much power/mileage difference

    Hi I have a drivetrain out of a '89 GT that I'm going to put into my '71 Maverick. I'm wanting to put a carb on it probably somthing like a Peformer RPM and a 600 edelbrock. How much mileage do you think I will loose and do you think there will be a power difference? I guess I'm not looking...

    An odd chasis stiffness question

    The reason this interests me is cause I'm wanting to put a targa top conversion on it. Everybody says that this would kill the rigidity of the car so I figured that if I got the factory 'vert bracing put on the car that would cure the problem.

    An odd chasis stiffness question

    Does anybody know if it would be possible to order a coupe with the stiffer rocker panels and better body joints that the vert has? My dealer said there was no difference between the two cars, but in the 2006 sales guide it states "Body joints and rocker panels were designed to be more rigid...

    How much power will a stock 4.6 handle?

    Clevelend, Are you talking 400-425 at the wheels or at the the flywheel? I was thinking about going with a Roush or a Saleen but down the road after I upgrade the shortblock do you think upgrading these two units to a higher psi would result in more performance? Or are they designed to be...

    How much power will a stock 4.6 handle?

    So those mods would probably be to much for a stock bottom end? Even 99% of its life was on the street?

    How much power will a stock 4.6 handle?

    If I did a Kenne Bell, headers and exhaust do you think a stock 4.6 would hold together? BTW this car won't be raced much. Maybe 3 or 4 Sundays out of the whole year.

    Some honest opinoins please LS1 or S197

    Hi guys, I'm looking at buying a new toy. I can't decided between the new Mustang and a T/A. I used to be Ford loyal but I have owned a couple Firebirds in the past so this no longer holds true. I posted a thread similar to this one over on F-body.com but all I got was a bunch of bs and Ford...

    Help me sort fact from fiction

    Has Ford officially announced that it is only going to make 7000 units or is this just skeptisism? If so I'm going to "assume" that the price will be well over 40K. Also I've been told that Ford has not unvieled the official car yet and that it will be unvieled in either December or Janruary. If...
