    351 swap

    Have to say I have not had any trouble finding Cleveland parts cheaply. I like both motors actually and have both but there are pros/cons to both. 351C 4V heads are monsters stock, stock crank/rods are good to between 5-600 hp. No oil mods are needed unless you plan on routinely going past...

    Rings? Need Help with Diagnosis

    shortblock Def do rings/all bearings, I'd do freeze plugs as well and for sure an oil pump, and an hd oil pump drive shaft. It would be a pain to finish your monster and find out you need to redo the motor. If you are going the t-5 route, now is an excellent time to have it checked out and...

    .60 over or new block??

    Are you sure it cannot stay .040? I bought a .030 block and it needed a light hone and stayed at that size. The price seems high compared to what a diy price would be.

    Pulling engine...what should I replace?

    I'd run a compression test on it, then make a decision.

    T-5 minutia

    Hrmm I am pretty sure they are smaller than headbolts, I was thinking that the main bellhousing to block bolts were that size, and the bottom three smaller, I will look tomorrow as I have spare headbolts around here.

    Bolt AND EZ-Out snapped in block.

    Take it to a machine shop, they won't charge you much and if they screw it up they will fix it free.

    5.0 Swap into 90s Miata

    monster miata Building a monster miata is a cool idea, I will def do this one day! Some things worth mentioning about the swap, if you use alum heads/intake, put battery in back, I believe the weight gain is around 75 pounds in the nose. That means with a little creative weight management...

    T-5 minutia

    Hey I crawled under my 88 GT few days ago and realized that the bottom few bolts in the bell were never installed, not the main ones that hold tranny to block but the very lowest 3 bolts that hold all the sheetmetal/spacer between engine/tranny together. I need to know what size these are...

    replaced heater core.......already leaking.

    core I seem to remember that all heater cores are not created equal, I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but cheap autoparts places sell lousy cores, I got mine from napa and its fine, a friend got one from pep boys and it wasn't. Also I think there is supposed to be a restrictor...

    So after 160k miles... something let go **PICS**

    rebuild If it was me, I would do a total engine rebuild. Even if it goes back together fine and you get another 15000 miles out of it, face it you have 160k on the clock and you have the top end apart already, nother two hours and the motor can be out...of course thats assuming you have the...

    need some tuning advice

    Just to clear things up a little, my car runs well, idle is a bit unsteady but not awful, its quick but I am wondering how much performance I am missing by not having the comuputer work done. I can afford a couple dyno pulls and an a/f adjustment, thats under 200, but I have not found a...

    need some tuning advice

    How much would I leave on the table if I had a dyno run or two to set the a/f decently, and left it at that?

    Gas gauge not right

    I'd change it, not hard to replace, mine pulled tricks on me. Guage was always dead, read a quarter tank always, changed cluster to a 140 and had that one tested, all worked, installed it no difference. Changed sending unit, still read a quarter tank. Rechecked all wires, scratched head...

    How does the ac evaporator come out of the dash unit??? lol

    just use common sense, there will never be a better time to cut open that box and fix it once the right way, unless of course you enjoy taking the dash out of a fox more than once..... also consider replacing the heater core while you are there...
