    Thinking About A Team Z K Member Does Any One Have Thought On This, Plus What Are Good Spring Rates?

    Not really an apples to apples comparison. I use a DOHC SC engine with a hyrdoboost.

    A Fox Quest! Find Vanilla Ice's 5oh

    To me the whole point is to see the engine and the mechanicals. Even when i watch Bitchin rides i dislike all the fancy covers they use to hide what's underneath. Then again, i'm not a show car guy, maybe that's what people like at shows...

    A Fox Quest! Find Vanilla Ice's 5oh

    Overall looks like it came out pretty good. Verts are the only body style you can get away with color matching the trim. Not the biggest fan of the two tone seats and i truly hate that engine cover.

    Drivetrain T-5 transmission issue

    Was the trans rebuilt at some point by someone in the recent past? I've found over the years that this type of issue was generally caused by the person that rebuilt it (which includes professionals) With that said, i would tear it down and fix it. But if the 393 is indeed well built, sell it...

    Panel dimmer switch bypass

    I think the only issue with bypassing it is that you can't manually turn on the interior light. With that said, i haven't driven my car at night in 20+ years so i'm not sure it matters and even when i did, why in the world would i dim it? I was having an issue last year where i felt the dimmer...

    Paint and Body Restoration prob

    I don't envy your positiion. This is why i tell people all the time, worry most about paint and body and forget mechanicals (anyone can fix that stuff). Recently i had a friend on an 84 vette kick (kinda cool car, but i wouldn't want it). He was looking at a 9k car that needed some body work...

    Custom tune?

    I ran a crane 2031 way back with similar parts. First off, you do not need 24lb injectors, do not use them, run 19's with a pro m maf calibrated for 19's. Second, you ARE going to float valves if the heads have stock springs, it's going to be really unpleasant. Personally, i would never do it...

    Engine Base Idle Reset-Accufab

    Well, that's sounds better. Is this a GT40 tubular intake or an Explorer gt40 style intake?

    Engine Base Idle Reset-Accufab

    Is your intake opening heavily ported? You really can't and probably shouldn't run a 75mm throttle body on a gt40 intake that only accepts a 65mm TB. Even if it is ported, it's still way oversized for a stock headed car.

    Severe Drivetrain Shaking

    I take it that it does this when parked correct? My guess is also the balancer, be advised if it is do not run the engine, period.

    Hood......

    Cervinis has always been pretty good, I run their 1.5in. Maintains the factory safety catch.

    Foxbody adjust alignment

    Are those skinny front wheels and tires?

    Targa

    I'm just going to say it, those pics aren't exactly flattering with those wheels on the car, you have done all this work, you surely have pictures with the rotoforms, so why in the world post these?

    Foxbody adjust alignment

    Make sure all mechanicals are good (tie rods, ball joints etc) and there are no leaks. Buy MM plates, this way you don't take it there and they can't get it in spec and you have to do it again. Then take it for another alignment. Ive also always asked for maximum matching caster, for me I felt...

    Engine A/C QUESTION

    I've had this happen, it did most likely come out the pressure relief valve. That's why it lets you recharge it again. Getting the refrigerant/oil and pressure right can be a little tricky.

    Progress Thread 92RSQ As the name implies...

    Those front wheels look like real 4 lug speedlines from the Saleen catalog.

    Purchasing 1st Fox, need advice

    To me, hood pins signify that they purchased the wrong brand hood. The good ones for a street car still support the safety latch. I'm sure they cost a lot more, but i'd probably pay any dollar amount not to have hood pins. At this point a factory EFI harness setup is probably too much effort...

    Purchasing 1st Fox, need advice

    Keep this in mind, 90% of people looking for a fox will probably pass because the carb swap. So if you want or have to sell it, you have shrunk your buyer pool significantly. Would I buy a nice car with a swap? Maybe, but if it takes 2-3 grand to put the efi and ac back in, I'm hitting them...

    Looking for input on Motor choice

    My buddy used to build them all the time back in the day. (or buy them, some of us used the B block hyper 347 which was only $2200 at the time and no the B block didn't really hold more power). Always a custom cam, but that was his thing, he always sent every set of heads to machine shop, new or...

    Looking for input on Motor choice

    I'm not opposed to the power adder, but boost isn't always simple or cheap. Though if he's capping the hp at 550, i'm not sure i see the need for a power adder at all. Custom cam, high end heads and matching intake would go a long way on a well built 347. I think the goal of a 347 has got to be...
