    Yes, I sent them out to Chris. He took them in and they went through them and ported and polished them. They looked great.

    His power is not that low. 340-350 should be pretty spot on for that combo. I made 385/415 with a KB at 8# with a 255 pump 38# inj. My issue was a pegged MAF from going any higher. That was Stock SB AFR 165's Crower 15511 and Ported GT40 with the KB2200 Blowzilla. I was hoping to break 400...

    Which Romac and from where

    If you had to use an adaptor he got you the wrong one to begin with. Romacs are a direct fit also, just got to get the right one. I have heard good things about the Pioneer also though. ATI's are highly rated also, but $$$.

    Which Romac and from where

    50 oz if its the stock rotating assembly. Most strokers and 70's and earlier motors use 28oz. I got mine on ebay.

    How rare was the red interior in the 94-95 cars

    I hate 2 tone interiors. I converted my grey/black to all black. Bought an entire interior, dash and all for 300.00. I think of the red as a 70's and early 80's thing. Pretty common in old Camaros and earlier Fox cars.

    A special thanks on this really goes out to Chris Eades. He helped me get the heads done for about 1/2 of what it would normally cost. What happened with him and his family made it bittersweet in bolting them on. I hated hearing of his tragedy, made me wonder where lifes justice is. A...

    Least favorite work to do on your stang?

    Anything underdash. Otherwise these cars are simple. I had to change the waterpump on my Mazda MX6. I cursed the whole time. Small V6 FWD cars suck to work on.:bang:

    Can you check my H/C/I combo...

    Id like to see a 65mm Ford TB on there. 65 is PLENTY and I like the Ford 65mm better. But thats opinion. I ran a BBK 75 for a while on a KB setup. Its a solid combo. do you plan on doing the work yourself? considerations: What exhaust are you running? When you do the valvetrain it...

    Its a Jay Allen custom H/R. Lift in the low/mid .600's Duration @ .050 is split around 230's 240's as is the LSA. I have no idea on power level. Suffice to say I made 660 before. I really built this as a bullet proof motor for the street instead of ultra high HP. Spent.......Way too...

    Always on the look for a new car... What is this?

    Too much info for these boards....but you could combine the RS option with SS or Z28. It then became a RS/SS or Z28/RS. RS was a style and trim package. SS and Z28 where performance packages. The badging issues could be a bit confusing. Example of Z28 combined with RS option Notice the...
