    RANT!!! PSA for anybody buying an aem wideband

    Old thread but has any 1 tried the knock off 30-0300 gauge kits? I can essentially get one for free, and can get legit bosch O2's, don't really put much faith in it but testing some China stuff it's ranged from being the actual product unbranded to horrible fakes. And since aem is Holley...

    Fox Changed 2.73 ratio to 4.10.....how can I correct speedometer on 1985....EEK removed from car

    Drive gears are only 6 7 or 8 teeth, the gear on the out put shaft on the trans, 18th would be the cable gear. If I remember right, depending on tire size best way to correct for 4.10s is with the black 6tooth drive gear, or deal with it being off and using 23 tooth dodge gears that don't...

    The duration and overlap maybe be an issue for clearance on stock pistons, would have to check it. you can cut the relief in stock pistons If need be. Had similar combo years ago with first gen afr 165's, more lift but way less duration on a stock shortblock with no clearance issues, made over...

    Fox Changed 2.73 ratio to 4.10.....how can I correct speedometer on 1985....EEK removed from car

    Speedo gear on the cable to match the tire size and gearing, think stock 85 t5's had the black 6 tooth drive gear if I remember righf? So basically need to figure out what drive gear is in the trans, tire size, rear gear and use one of the online calculators for the Speedo gear. Or swap to a...

    market for 2.3L? i wanna sell

    Damn, I wouldn't pay that for a whole 2.3 car, milage or not maybe if the paint and interior was great. Half the milage claims these days are rolled over at min, once odometers. I still see one of my old beater coupes I sold around 2008 getting passed around as a low mileage car because it...

    First post 289 rebuild question!

    You can get cheapy aluminum heads on eBay for $600 about $150 to swap out the springs to match the set up, than just have your machinest fly cut the pistons if new ones don't have enough relief for a 2.02, most do these days.. Honestly the budget aluminum China heads are cheaper than paying...

    1984 roller….. need advice!!!

    96-01 explores are good engine donors but still need some fox body parts, 351 trucks and vans, really depends on what you want, how you want to dress it out with brackets and accessories. 3.8 5sdp cars are good for donor T5's. The 79 I picked up someone swapped pretty much has 80's/90's f150...

    Engine Explorer - Lower intake internal cleaning

    Its foam, if its caked bad wait for the foam to break down and you want to wear gloves and try not to breath it when spraying it, really have to let it build up in the ports or it will just run down one side. A hot water soak will help some after but hard to do in winter. I had to clean...

    Need some camshaft guru advice on power loss from supercharger to nitrous

    The info is all over the place, and I would not be worried about the cam after watching this video if that's the combo being talked about, on corral you said its a .73 42 jet but said its a 125 shot?, in this video its 62 nitrous jet that made the most and so fat I'm not shocked it fell off as...

    Need some camshaft guru advice on power loss from supercharger to nitrous

    I'm still going with jetting. Over on corral he said its 73/42 jetting which is a super fat "175" jetting on old shark kits, not 125. I still use those but keep nozzles kits at 150 or below, otherwise something all ways ended up hurt eventually with distribution issues on efi intakes, prefer...
