    Edlebrock 60379.....input

    are any of you guys running these heads? i stumbled across them a few different places and was pleased by the price and the fact they are aluminum. pros and cons on thises? i'm seeing GT40 heads in the $200+ range that would probably need to be rebuilt before putting them back on the...

    good buy?

    so i went to look at the "goods" last night and left with my money in my pocket. all of the parts other than the heads were in an egg crate just thrown in there. the roller rockers werer in there but you had dig through all of the junk that was in there to even look at them. the pistons were...

    what can be done with $1500

    it's not set in stone that i'm going that direction yet, but that's the way i'm leaning. if i can stay within the dollar figure that i'm shooting for and gain a bit more power by switching over to carb than i'll do it. if it's going to put me over budget with no gains i'll stick with FI. I'm...

    good buy?

    came across a local ad today for a set of GT40 heads (already called the guy and he's not sure which version other than they are iron), crane gold roller rockers, 7 out of 8, 347 stroker pistons and rods (apparently soon to be x-wife threw the 8th one and damaged it), FRPP aluminum valve covers...

    what can be done with $1500

    it will simplify the setup and quite possibly add a few more ponies to the equation. because of where i live i won't really suffer any driveability issues either due to weather conditions. i won't have to worry about a computer re-tune, upsizing the injectors, larger throttle body, converting...

    what can be done with $1500

    first off, thanx for the explanation.... i did some research on it last night and understand why it's done now. i didn't get into different setups and how much can be gained by it but i don't believe that it's something that i want to do with this car. if i was setting it up more for more...

    what can be done with $1500

    shaolin, thanx for the advice. the $1500 is for the motor only. the underdrive pullies is something i had forgotten about. the suspension items you mentioned are all on the short list of mods in that dept. i'm just trying to figure out the most bang for the buck on such a short motor...

    what can be done with $1500

    definitely understand i won't be going 10's on a $1500 motor rebuild. I'm more interested in handling than 1/4 mile times and will be upping the ante in that department as well. regarding the motor, my intention is to rebuild the current motor with new bearings, reuse the pistons, crank...

    what can be done with $1500

    so i think i've finally made up my mind on what direction to go with the motor. i'm going to stick with the 302 for "ease" of getting this project done. my question is what can be done for say $1500. i have an explorer upper/lower but am seriously considering going to carb. i have a very...

    would it be worth putting in or would i be better off coming up with a different cam? would it add much power?
