    Power window conundrum

    sounds like either wiring problem (its not a flood car is it?) or the motor is just going. They do tend to get beat after a while. At one point my passenger side stopped working for a little while then it was ok again. I think it was the climate. A new window motor at a ford dealership is...

    Cheating Through Emissions!!

    I dont know where u live but in PA if you dont pass they will do up to $150 worth of emission related work to your car (usually exhaust) and if it still doesnt pass then you get a waiver sticker that lets you go for another year. But then you have to have it all done again next year if u drive...

    Ignition Timing WAY off!

    ok so i made a thread about this problem I had a while back where my timing was showing up way off on the balancer so everyone said to get a new one. Well i did that and now it still off by the same amount so now im thinking its got to be something else. The car seems to run ok, but when I...

    Battleboxes?!

    I heard these battlebox things are entire new boxes that get welded into the side of the frame in place of the old ones. Apparently some place in jersey makes them, just wondering if anyone else knew...

    Battleboxes?!

    I have heard a few people talk of these, and well i need them. My torque boxes are cracked and torn to shreads and need to come completely out. My chassis/race shop hasnt done too many 5.0's but they have done one with the battleboxes and said it worked nicely. Anyone else had to have this...

    anyone know about valve lapping?

    some kid that i know that just started mechanic school is going off telling me that I need to take my brand new X303 heads apart and lap the valves so they seat right. Something about taking the retainers and springs out and putting some compound or something on the valves while they are lose...

    any tip for driving t-5?

    when i first learned how to drive stick, my mom and aunt showed me this "old lady" type way of starting on a real steep hill, where u can pull the ebrake up start off normally until u feel it grabbing, then take off. Dont get me wrong, this is probably the biggest chick move ever, but it works...

    Hardcore Track Launching

    about the tq, yea its like a truck motor, im just hoping I can turn all that tq into hp somehow. Figure out a way to shorten up the intake or something. Perhaps different cam as well... Anyway yea the trans is T56 viper spec. So I think it can hold it. I just had the tq boxes all welded up...

    Hardcore Track Launching

    well about the high tq rating its because im using the E-cam and the GT40 intake with 2 spacers because it wont clear my valve covers. So the extra long runners im guessing are going to give me more tq than i need, but oh well, I'll figure out some way to turn it into hp with tuning. I am...

    Hardcore Track Launching

    I am just finishing up my motor and should be pushing 300+rwhp (i hope) and around 400 rwtq. With that kind of tq I am wondering if I will be able to do a hardcore launch (from the limiter at 6k) and not break the tires loose. When you do that sort of launch where you hit the limiter, do you...

    331 Torque Monster?

    a 331 should work good, more stroke generally gives you more torque, bigger bore = more hp/higher revs. One way to help with tq is to put an intake on with long runners, like the GT40. Also go with a mild cam, with low duration (220/220), that will keep your torque at low rpms. Its really up...

    Can I use the rockers and push rods from my stock E7 heads on my GT40's?

    i am not positive about the rockers but it makes sense that they would work. The pushrods just carefully inspect and make sure they are not clogged or bent in any way. (roll them across a table or something flat and watch them) The only thing about the stock rockers is, that they are 1.5...

    fuel rail bolt

    if will be fine as long as the others are tight holding it down as low as you can get it. (have your brother/buddy hold it down while you screw in the other 3 bolts.) As long as the O rings on the injectors are all good you really shouldnt have a problem.
