    Trick Flow 170 W/ 58cc.......should I Add Cam Or Just 1.7 Rockers? Compression Ratio?

    Plus 1, I ran and still am running 540. + lift, after about a year I pulled the valve covers due to a slight tick, one valve lock fell out of valve retainer? Don't know exactly why, probably rpm and valve float? Upgraded to different springs and regularly run those heads to 6500+ . They'll...

    Smokin

    I was thinking thicker oil as well as this problem popped up after a switch to synthetic 5-30, but was previously running 10-30 with no issues, ran it quite hard this weekend to try and reproduce the issue and no avail, no smoke at all, even after a rev limiter launch, could too much oil cause...

    Smokin

    K, dart block 347, tfs head, srp piston, runs great, went to switch to synthetic 5w30 and have smoke on decel afterwords, only after warmed up though, plugs at rear of engine are oil wet, does not smoke in decel if pcv is out?

    Burning Oil

    Simple story, rebuilt 347, first oil change to 5/30 royal purple, about 15 mile drive home, got on just a lil to reach speed limit and let off throttle at that point, huge puff of blue smoke? Got home and every time I gas it no smoke til I let off but just for a second, let it sit a couple days...

    Dart Shp Block

    I went ahead and ordered the tfs upgrade spring package with the dual springs, and 10 degree locks and retainers, stayed up for a while last night getting them shimmed to the correct 1.780 install height. Went pretty quick and easy overall.

    Dart Shp Block

    It would be nice if they update the description and state that a pan with dipstick is needed for the block, I got it all in so its fine now, problem now is head related, trickflow 170's, ordered years ago with supposed 10 degree locks, lost 2 on reassembly and ordered the said replacements, they...

    Dart Shp Block

    Got the adapter and a miloden 7qt pan, fit great. Here's another question, the sump sits lower so do I run the recommend 7 or is 5 plus filter OK?

    Dart Shp Block

    Finally got my shp block 347 rotating assembly finished, what oil pan fits best as there are no provisions in block for dipstick tube? Didn't realize until buttoning up bottom end? Also do I need a oil filter adapter? Just a threaded hole there?

    Cracked Tfs Head

    When it will hook it is still pulling very hard at the limiter, would like to raise it a bit, maybe 6500-6700, still on factory block though.

    Cracked Tfs Head

    Right now I have to feather the hell out of it to keep out of the factory 6250 limiter, it hits it damn quick, not sure in inches but running 255/60-15's with 373 gear.

    Cracked Tfs Head

    Rick, weren't you running the same n51hr cam? What size stall were you running with it, if you were auto, I'm running a tci right now but want a bit higher, I think its 28-3000

    Cracked Tfs Head

    They are the fast as cast 170cc version, dual spring, 10° locks, anyway after some sanding, very fine paper and no pressure it seems to be disappearing, gonna go ahead and take them to machine shop and have it checked, hopefully just have them milled a bit and re-install. Compression should...

    Cracked Tfs Head

    Well, blew the stock aod transmission a few months ago and with kids and work just kinda put the stang away for a while, finally decided to get her going again and bought a built aod for it, I decided to pull the engine and tranny so I could go ahead and replace the rods, mains, and head...

    Hesitation/excessive Backfiring At High Rpms.

    No, just go to any parts store and tell them you need an ignition module, 90% of them will say they don't know what a tfi module is, its the small grey piece mounted on the side of the distributor. cost around 30 bucks. Doesn't really sound like a tfi problem to me though.

    Aeromotive Fuel Reg Adjustment

    Just need a baseline to start, she's actually running and driving fine now, but I'm pretty sure its a little on the rich side but not.bad enough to smell the exhaust, also what would the cheapest or easiest way to lose the.factory rev limiter, I can stomp on it and it will hit the limiter well...

    Aeromotive Fuel Reg Adjustment

    Just a quick question, do you turn the Allen head out to lower the pressure on an aeromotive regulator, and what pressure would you recommend for a 347 with tfs heads, n51hr, eddy rpm2, 30lb injectors, 190 fuel pump?

    347 Idle

    Idle is set at around 850-900, 14 degrees of timing without chip in. It's got trickflow heads, afm n51hr, rpm2, 30lb injectors, 190 fuel pump, 70mm tb, 76mm maf, and I'm currently only running shorty headers and an h- pipe, won't finish exhaust until next week.

    347 Idle

    Got my 347 up and running again but when I install the tiny little timing advance thing(forgot what its called) I can't get it to fire up without giving it throttle, it idles and revs fine without it but not with it in, any suggestions? It will also hunt for idle and die with it in.
