    New Cars Are Dumb

    Did not read all the posts, but I totally agree. I sold my '97 Jeep (which was really well built, but wore out) and picked up a '13 Wranger (1 year old at the time). Everything, and I mean everything, is 3x the price of an equivalent part for the '97. Bumper... bunch of metal bolted to the...

    yep, that is why I went T&D, Lunati and H beam this time... would have been way cheaper to do the first time... "bangs head on table"...

    ~2000 miles... an opps for an extend 8000rpm 2nd gear rolling Burt Reynolds burn out foolish moment likely didn't help... head the knocking as soon as I let off... drove it 1/2 mile home, damage was done. Was running Penzoil full syn 10w-60 based on engine builders preference... was changed...

    Morel makes Lunati's solid rollers... same lifter... can't go wrong with that decision. Agree'd, big price delta.

    Hurt it... ate a Crower shaft rocker, or, at least all the needle bearings out of it. They offered to sell me an individual rocker, but, the design was changed (I wonder why??)... so, went with T&D rockers. Upon tear down inspection, one lifter (Comp) had questionable operation (gritty), so...

    Post pics of how your foxbody currently sits

    the photo has that "nostalgia" look to it... I like it.

    Which Heads Should I Go With?

    This, 100%. My Dad's car runs "simple" out of the box gt40x heads and OTB GT40 intake... 1-3/4" long tubes and a custom cam... 300hp/340tq at the wheels, and amazing tq down low... from 1000rpm to 4000rpm it absolutely puts mine to shame, and I make ~370hp/370tq at the wheels. Mine runs a lot...

    Ballpark Hp

    you did not list it, so, it probably wants a fuel pump. yes it can be tuned, SCT comes to mind, and several others... there are also other online types, Bama comes to mind... power guess, if it's in good tune and still making good cylinder pressure... 300ish hp/320ish tq (assuming you put a fuel...

    What’s Everyone’s Opinion On Underdrive Pulleys?

    When my car was 100% stock, I added u/d pullies. Never had cooling or charging issues and the car was a daily driver back in those days. Now, the car is essentially a no options car too, so, that may help. I still run the same u/d pullies now... but have Ron Davis rad, E-brock water pump...

    H Pattern Is A Thing Of The Past?

    and then... on top of that... electricity production... Natural gas = 33.8% Coal = 30.4% Nuclear = 19.7% Raping, polluting and... uranium-235 about 700 million years... and where are we bulldozing that? Hopefully not under my tomato plants. Keep in mind, the more electric cars, the more electric...

    H Pattern Is A Thing Of The Past?

    I accept that is what is coming... even if it does not stir any emotions. I've never understood electricity... ions and whatnot in a wire making sh!t happen... my brain just does not get it... Explosions, making a piston go down and a crank go round, now, that I get... even if i don't understand...

    H Pattern Is A Thing Of The Past?

    I too have mixed feelings. Never even thought about what you just stated, but, um, yep, I'll add that the to negative side. I see see that in big city centers it could very much help with congestion, it would take "rubber-neckers" out of the equation, should help with those who drive with sleep...
