    T&L Engines F-up...

    While I appreciate your anger on my behalf . . . While I appreciate your anger on my behalf, I knew it would be a long wait, and there are also a lot of guys who have engines from them that are still working fine - you can hear from them on the Cobra forums. I think the guy and his team build...

    T&L Engines F-up...

    My deposit is already in, engine is almost done, so too late for me . . . but I never said that I was in a rush to get the engine. I placed the deposit back in October of last year, knowing deep down it would be a long wait but hoping the recession would lead to them not having enough work and...

    T&L Engines F-up...

    Cost, my car is already driveable, no room to work in garage stonecoldtx: Hey, thanks for words of support, buddy. :rolleyes: There are a few reasons why a cheaper engine builder across the country might appeal to somebody in the Great and Expensive State of California: 1. No room in my...

    T&L Engines F-up...

    reputation for engines vs. customer service chillin, If you're curious about the subject, I would point you to ffcobra.com and the number of guys there who have received good, reliable engines from them, among other reports here and there, some old, some recent. The customer service...

    T&L Engines F-up...

    Damn, Nemesis . . . I truly feel for their overseas customers I'm still waiting for my engine, they are having problems keeping up with their custom engine program, and they sent out a mass email. Still, many have received quality production and custom engines from them, and some have had big...

    any good/resonably priced alum. radiators

    Have you looked at Summit/Northern? red67, I have a Summit/Northern 26" wide, 19" tall waiting for my 408 stroker that will put out about 500. I have dual fans that are just wide enough to cover the whole radiator surface so that should do the trick. I don't have room to do it without...

    Drop-base air cleaner

    well, there you go - X-Stream top plate FTW I think TX65 has the right idea there, if you're going to drop it and you don't want to have to worry about any restriction, why not bring in air from the top plate? Cool product.

    Pls Post: 67 Shelby FB Decklid Pics for reference

    careful about posting email in a regular post, SPAM BOTS jrnstang, no pics for ya, but if I were you I'd ask for a PM. Putting your email in a web page makes it easy for it to get harvested by spam bots who crawl around looking for that sort of thing. I'm assuming you're not looking for an...

    Variable Exhaust Note

    Spring loaded Ford Racing unit - how does it account for different engines? htwheelz, I would think that Ford Racing unit would operate differently on different engines . . . I have a tired old 302 with the OE 2 barrel carburetor, for example. What if, say, I put in a 460 stroker with 2x4bbl...

    Drop-base air cleaner

    yeah, the hood curve on a '69-70 adds some height for sure I was asking my shop about hood clearance with my new 408w and intake and air cleaner assembly. They had the opinion (over 25 years in the Mustang shop biz) that the curve to the hood definitely adds some height, not to mention the...

    Crate Engine Builder wants me to go F.A.S.T. EFI over Mass-Flo . . .

    No updates yet, I finally talked to the owner last week though and apparently my decision wasn't communicated, or wasn't acted on, by the guy I talked to. Looks like they dropped the ball but the owner seems to set up the priorities and build queue, so I should be in the home stretch. He told...

    Crate Engine Builder wants me to go F.A.S.T. EFI over Mass-Flo . . .

    Heh, initial posters were doing everything to steer me away from Mass-Flo but now I'm hearing that I should have stuck with it. It kind of is too late now, and if I were Chris at Mass-Flo I might have a few words with the builder for starting me down the EZ-EFI road, as they are a Mass-Flo...

    Crate Engine Builder wants me to go F.A.S.T. EFI over Mass-Flo . . .

    RMP motor mounts already gotten, they like Super Vics These guys seem to like Super Vics, but I don't think they'll do it on this one because of my request for hood clearance. Got the RMP mounts already for the project! :nice:

    Crate Engine Builder wants me to go F.A.S.T. EFI over Mass-Flo . . .

    Engine is a 408w-style, but with a bit lower compression, so about 400. htwheels, sorry, it was up there a little earlier, but kind of buried. I don't have the specs on cam, lifters, pistons, (shorter stroke and larger piston dish than a 408w) crank, etc, exactly. JE dished pistons, rod...

    Crate Engine Builder wants me to go F.A.S.T. EFI over Mass-Flo . . .

    Part of my goal here is to just "get 'er done" and get something that the engine builder can get out of there quick. It was their recommendation, after all, easier for them, saves me a bit of money, and it doesn't sound like it's a bad system by any means. The engine is sitting there assembled...

    Crate Engine Builder wants me to go F.A.S.T. EFI over Mass-Flo . . .

    htwheelz, you really got me thinking about doing the EZ for now I think my ultimate goal would be to have a very sorted SEFI system that is "self-learning" to different driving conditions and could be adapted to forced induction, but it's hard to ignore the price/performance of the EZ-EFI as...

    Crate Engine Builder wants me to go F.A.S.T. EFI over Mass-Flo . . .

    I'd only compare it to the XFI, not EZ-EFI Hey all, EZ-EFI is throttle body, which I'm dismissing - I don't need totally retro/stock looks, and I feel that SEFI and injecting at the end of the runner is the right way, from an efficiency/reliability/type-of-intake-doesn't-matter...

    Seriously Considering the Griggs Gr350

    Another vote for Griggs if you got the $, check corner-carvers If I had the $, and didn't mind hacking everything up, I'd choose the Griggs in a heartbeat. That kit gets a great deal of respect on corner-carvers.com, and those guys should know.

    Crate Engine Builder wants me to go F.A.S.T. EFI over Mass-Flo . . .

    Hey all, Not naming any names here, but a certain crate engine builder has my block and heads assembled and is recommending the F.A.S.T. system over Mass-Flo, mainly I think for cost reasons, ease of installation, and tunability, but I picked this builder mainly because they are an...

    I has boost

    Can has? That just begs the question: Can has? Damn, the girls got their lolcat references in the Mustang forums. God help us. :) One day if my upcoming 408 stroker doesn't cut it I hope to do some forced induction. I'd love to actually use the fake scoops at the front of the '70 fender...
