    Did you have this problem with your upper control arms?

    Bought UPR double adjustable upper control arms but i cant get them to fit between the sheet metal of the torque box. Do i need to hammer the box out a bit to get them in there? Anyone else have trouble wedging their aftermarket control arms back in ? It looks like the aluminum spaces are...

    Newbie cant drill holes for upper torque boxes help!

    My boxes are in perfect condition. The car is bone stock and has been driven very lightly. I just dont hear about people putting torque boxes on the uppers too ofen.. and since im new to all this.. i'd much rather box'em back up and send them back then mess something up on the car.

    gt40p's on an 86 block?

    Im no expert, but i think the cam would dictate how much valve travel you would have if you are worried about the valve contacting the piston. If you are using stock gt40's with stock cam and stock ratio rockers... you shouldnt have a problem, but wait around for a more experienced answer.

    gt40p's on an 86 block?

    Should work fine. While you got the heads off -- do a little bit more work and swap in a hotter cam.

    Newbie cant drill holes for upper torque boxes help!

    351W in a 89 Fox.. Lots of questions

    Well you have a good point there, but i dont think the smog guy will be able to tell that i have a 351 opposed to a 302. Sure it'll sit a lil higher in the engien bay but i intend to use all the smog equipment. Can you really tell a 302 from a 351 with efi?

    351W in a 89 Fox.. Lots of questions

    Stroking my 351 to 408 is the plan. I thought the same thing, but wanted to see what options were out there. As far as intakes go.. what are the better efi intakes to run? I live in CA so i need a intake that has EGR

    351W in a 89 Fox.. Lots of questions

    As far as rails go. i'll just buy an aftermarket set. I dont want the hassle and they dont seem that expensive. UPR has a set for 125 bucks! A turbo would be an awesome power adder, although most of the turbo kits seem alot more expensive than a vortech blower kit. Am i wrong?

    351W in a 89 Fox.. Lots of questions

    I read that with most efi setups for the 351's you need to buy aftermarket fuel rails. Is there a company that sells a high flowing EFI intake and fuel rails as a kit?
