    i tore down a t5 before i found out mine was some bastard child and couldnt find a new input shaft, and also rebuilt a tko. this is my first auto, but as far as the drivetrain goes its amazingly simple. the only pita parts are some snap rings that need what the hold in, pressed down so you can...

    The sonnax stuff is for sure super expensive, their upgraded direct setup is around $600, and the forward is another couple hundred. But it seems that's what you need for 1k+ hp (well that and maybe an upgraded planetary if someone can be persuaded to make them). I'm nowhere near that, so I...

    This for sure, just learned that over the weekend the hard way. Takes for-freaking-ever to down shift from 4-2 (I'm electronic though so that might be part of it). Waa kinda wishing I had stuck with plan A and put a t56 in it....

    302 and 351 do NOT use the same balancer. late-model 302's are 50oz, 351's are 28oz.

    Welder Question

    sounds expensive to me, i think the refills on my 40cf? bottle are only like $40, and i bought the bottle for i think $90 or so on the first fill (been a few years). dont know if tsc refills them or not, nor do i know if any of the gas companies will use someone elses bottle. either way, a...

    I know ive seen one on a supercharged car between magnaflows and Macs, and the macs were the clear winners (3" maggies are only 2 1\2 on the inside and not mandrel bent according to the pics). Personally I can't stand the sound of all those different varieties of glass pack mufflers, give me a...

    Welp, its for sure just a massive exhaust leak that i cant seem to get rid of. if i unplug the #8 plug wire noise goes away. resealed it and still no bueno (granted the rtv im using only had like 4-6 hours to setup but still). will have to put the thinking cap on for this one. anyway, while...

    Just pulled the rockers and pushrods off #8 and noise is gone. Trunnion on both rockers has the same amount of side clearance, but the one on the intake once bolted down had way more wiggle than any other. That header primary also seems to be leaking pretty good at the flange, its the one...

    not yet, dont even have a dipstick in it yet :eeks: still in the package, almost forgot about it. its only got about 30-40 minutes of actual runtime since i dont want to piss off the neighbors too much (and the head "hoa" people live right next door). when i first noticed it, it was after...

    Welder Question

    i have that same machine. hard pass. i'd look closer at some of the new harbor freight stuff or used inverter-based miller/hobart/lincoln. dual-voltage would be a plus but not strictly necessary.

    sn95 hanger, so the bigger 3/8 feed but still a dinky 1/4" return. the rest of the system is all -8, so if i ever get the itch i can swap in a different tank with a bigger (or multiple) pump. just a bit. exhaust is on now, just clamped up ran out of mig gas and cant find my flux core tips so...
