    Finally drove car after 1.5 years!!!

    I'm not quite in your situation, but I just finished the H/C/I swap and the car hasn't run worth a s*** since. Its been about 4 months since I've had a good run in the car, but this post at least gives me some hope....

    I'm extremely bored, so here's my engine plans for your review

    You have just put together my dream combination of any engine. I always wanted an all aluminum 331 with a sweet Griggs setup! Now if I only had the budget for it.... One question - Are there going to be any problems running an aluminum block with boost? Didn't they switch to Iron on the 03...

    Solved One problem, but new BIG PROBLEM!!

    I will definetely be investigating this problem, unfortunately I have to readjust all my rockers again, so I will be doing that first. What do you mean by "clocking the TPS to line it up, then sming back to the screw holes"? I'm having a hard time visualizing this. Could you give me real...

    Future Engine Swap?

    I second this opinion. There are some components that Ford amesk great parts, but there are a ton of other things where othger aftermarket companies make a lot pf products superior to Fords. A few examples: Heads (AFR, TFS, Edelbrock, etc) Short-Block (CHP, DSS, Bennet, etc) MAF (C&L...

    Roush Crate Motors

    I read in a couple magazines that Roush debuted a few crate motors at the SEMA show this year. Anyone know anything further about these and how ungodly expensive (like the other Roush stuff) they will be? Just wanting some more info. BTW - I"m lazy, so I haven't really looked around myself...

    Solved One problem, but new BIG PROBLEM!!

    That is a possibility. Thanks for the suggestion. I removed all the sensors from the throttle body (and everything else) when I painted everything. What would be a good way to check this? Rio - After I had the disaster after adjusting the rockers on Tuesday I have not had time to do anything...

    spark plug wires

    I have MSD's and they are very good. It would be nice if they were all about an inch longer, its a tight fit, but I guess I'm just nitpicking, they are really good wires.

    Fuel issue

    19.7 is very lean, this cannot be good for your car. Also, as stated above, what are you using to gather this data?

    new BBK intake for 5.0's?????

    Exactly what I have been thinking for a while. Why not a front fed one or at least a dual feed from the sides (didn't they do this on the FR500 manifold? Not the Ford Racing production one, but the one on the actual car).

    Solved One problem, but new BIG PROBLEM!!

    I am almost sure I tightened down all the pol lock, but I could have forgotten one. When I am tightening them down how tight should the polylock be? Dream - Its not that the car wont rev, it will go up to the redline, it just won't accelerate. All the way down on the throttle produces the...

    Solved One problem, but new BIG PROBLEM!!

    I tourqued all the studs down to 60ft-lbs when I got the heads so I wouldn't think they would come loose, but then again I'm not sure. I don't think the baffle is an issue. the only rocker that I can hear hitting appears to be on #3.

    new BBK intake for 5.0's?????

    Looks like a very different design to get all the air into the runners. I don't have a good enough understanging of thermodynamics to tell how well its going to work, but I'd be real interested to see some dyno results. Its always good to see a new and interesting product. BTW - I know it...

    Just a fun thread!!!!!

    About 135 (top down) on a real nice newly paved 4 lane deserted road at about 2 in the morning. I can usually drive about 15 miles and not see another car.

    Uhh i found one!

    Looks like a great deal. The paint looks really great! If the enging and tranny are good thats a really good deal.

    Solved One problem, but new BIG PROBLEM!!

    Rio - Both the noises were only after I adjusted the rockers today. The first one (rocker hitting VC) started after about 5 minutes, and the really bad one (don't know) started about 5 minutes later when I was almost home. I set up the rockers after talking to ED C today and following the...

    MSD Box

    I have a digital 6 box that I thought was bad. I sent it to MSD without a warranty or proof of purchase or anything and they tested it right away and then confirmed it was working OK and sent it right back to me, without any charge. I would give their customer service an A.
