    cast iron vs aluminum

    You've summed up the age old debate perfectly with one missing part: performance and flow. Stock E7TE heads are great for pickup trucks and Crown Victorias. Assuming your stock bottom end is in good shape with a decent ring seal and maintaining proper oil pressure, the answer to your last...

    Spherical UCR Bushings on the Street?

    Actually, the stock rubber works well to prevent binding, but only to a certain point in terms of power output. Rubber doesn't bind because, frankly, it's mushy. We've had numerous customers in high (500+) horsepower "heavy weight" cars that have blown away both rubber and urethane bushings...

    Engine removal with headers or without?

    Dropping a 5.0 in with a pair of shorties already installed is relatively simple, and allows you to install them while the engine is on a stand. Especially in the case of equal lengths, it's a big advantage over wrestling with them between the engine and the shock tower. Or, the quicker answer...
