    Given that the stroke is a 3.4" and the cubic inches = 347 the bore would be 4.030. I haven't seen the article in question, but if the article is correct, it makes me wonder if Ford is having problems with the 3.4" stroke.:shrug: Why the change?

    2005 mustang nose on classic mustang - has it been done?

    Okay I'll bite on this hook. I can think of quite a few safer, faster, better handling, and just plain better cars than the Mustang. However, I cannot think of a car that is more fun. I would even argue that some of the reasons that the Mustang is so much fun is precisely because it is not...

    The following is taken from this link: http://www.mustang50magazine.com/images/m5lp_0803_boss_340_engine_build/block_honing.html Read into this what you will, but I think it leaves some room for concern at the very least especially considering the cost of a stroker engine. In a...

    The cylinders are not the same length on a new Boss 302 block. They are about 3/8ths of an inch shorter compared to the Stock, Dart, or Man o War. Ford does indeed sell this block with a 347 stroker, but the piston comes farther out of the cylinder with this block than it will the others...

    DK832, I don't have any tech to back this up, but I have heard that the new Boss 302 FRPP will not reliably handle a stroker kit. I'll try to find some solid info on this. The World and Dart products are comparable blocks, and should "easily" handle 650 HP. (If built and tuned properly).

    Track Days in SO-Cal???

    Can anyone recommend a club or group in the San Diego area that does track days? I looked at the local Mustang clubs, but couldn't lock down any solid info.

    AC refrigerant question.

    I want to clarify something: In the above I meant to write R406a (autofrost) will break down PAG oil, but I wrote mineral oil. R406a should be fine in mineral oil. All the different refrigerants out there nowadays get me confused. R414b (Hotshot) will not breakdown mineral oil, but it...

    AC refrigerant question.

    If only there was one answer to this question. In a system designed for r-12, I you could use AutoFrost. Just make sure you know you have mineral oil and not PAG oil. Autofrost(r406a) contains chlorine that will fail PAG oil. Should be mineral oil if the system was designed for R-12. Make...

    AC refrigerant question.

    "darker" due to acidic breakdown of the oil, and if your have to change oil it is not a "drop in" replacement. No doubt about it, in an automotive application r-134a in a R-12 system is not as efficient as the old R-12 was. It transfers heat fine in a system that was designed to use R-134a...

    Can someone give me the best information sources??

    +++++1 Great advice there! Jacketfan89, I admire your willingess to learn. I wish I had been more like that when I was 18. If you are lucky enough to get a job at a restoration shop even as a sweap up and trash removal guy take it and run with it. Bust your A$$. I'm not saying you have...

    AC refrigerant question.

    As for Duracool: http://www.epa.gov/Ozone/snap/refrigerants/hc-12a.html In summary point number 4 from the above link: May hydrocarbon refrigerants be used to replace CFC-12, commonly referred to as "Freon® ," in cars? No. It is illegal to use hydrocarbon refrigerants like HC-12a® and...

    AC refrigerant question.

    I understand what you meant, but if the system is working properly a short charge won't hurt the compressor because it has a low pressure "safety" cut-out. An overcharge will take down a compressor given time, but I have seen them freeze up with no internal damage. I also mentioned that I have...

    AC refrigerant question.

    Even a improper charge shouldn't trash a compressor that fast. Too little charge should be safeguarded against by the use of a low pressure cutoff, and I have seen compressors overcharged to the point they freeze over solid and still not have any internal damage. ( not saying its okay to...

    Bad vibrations

    If your Dizzy is stock you will be fine with the 7mm wires. As for changing the dizzy, and rotor, save your self a lot of hassle and change the wires one at a time so you know where it goes. Pull one wire off the old dizzy and put the new wire in the same spot on the new dizzy. Also when you...

    Bad vibrations

    Are you using the stock style distributor with points? Or an aftermarket solid state electronic ignition? My brother had a 89 F-150 with electronic ignition and it would lose power at certain lower RPM. Turned out that the spark plug wires were too close to each other and the magnetic field...

    Bad vibrations

    If you have any cracks in the spark plug wires you should replace all of them. I have seen wires in such bad shape that you can see the "leakage" at night or in the dark with the hood up. If that doesn't solve your problem you haven't really lost anything because it needed to be done anyways.
