    What Oil Viscosity for Southern California Car?

    Stock was 10W-30 I believe. That should be sufficient.

    Stroking a Mexico 289 or newer roller 302

    I would wait to see what the 289 measures out at. If it is already .040 over, the current cylinder wall wear may put the block out of reach to get the new piston to cylinder wall clearance. Or it may check out OK. Verify first, then make a more educated decision.

    Cooling Jacket Pitting Idea's?

    If this were my engine, in a car that was not being raced, but a daily driver that was used for normal driving, I would clean the cylinder head and intake gasket surface thoroughly, lay a bead of Permatex Ultra Grey around the coolant port, use a good Fel-Pro gasket and bolt it together and...

    1965 mustang 351 850 hp+ primary tubes 1 7/8 or larger and a 3 inch or larger collectors?

    His user name is 427nostang If it has a 427W and has NOS it is easily able to make 850 HP.. And a Nitrous engine likes a free flowing exhaust system. I am not going to discredit his claim just yet. Pic's would obviously help a bunch. And a 427W on N02 should probably get custom made headers...

    Fox price for fuel

    Nothing new. He said in Feb it would only take 2 weeks. Kind of like 2 weeks to flatten the curve with the covid BS. Gas prices here have been steadily falling for the last 4 weeks. I don't see a "sky rocket" in prices at all. Do yourself a favor and turn off the news. Your life will get much...

    2001 cobra ignition timing off

    Sounds like the timing chain/chain's jumped time. There is no external way of adjusting ignition timing. It is all done by the Powertrain Control Module.

    Suspension Is somethig Wrong Here?

    I clock the springs so the end of the lower part of the spring is facing forward, not rearward. Basically the opposite of how you have yours installed.

    CHANGING BRAKE PADS

    In the kit that FastDriver posted, you will notice two turning mechanisms. One is left hand thread, the other is right hand thread. Are you sure that you are turning the piston in the right direction? It may be a left hand thread piston. I have run into that before. One other thing to look at...

    BBK Long Tube Headers Rusting

    Scotch brite pad, green one. Should clean it up quite nicely. That is all surface rust and should come right off.

    Octane on the 5.0 Coyote

    Top Tier fuels will have an additive package in the higher grade fuel that can prevent carbon build up on the intake valves. The science behind it is pretty amazing. Lake Speed Jr. (The Motor Oil Geek) has done some You Tube videos interviewing people who work for the companies that formulate...

    Engine Strange Noise

    The Nods are rocking. One at a time, pull a plug wire off of the distributor and see if the noise goes away. If it does, you have located the cylinder with the problem. Or, stick a brick on the throttle pedal and walk away. At some point the noise will go away and you can pick up the pieces...

    Autolite closing

    I run the NGK 9's as well. On a cold day at the track I might stick some 8's in it. Cold air, E-85 and an A/W Intercooler kind of dictate it.

    Autolite closing

    So true. I have a bunch of NGK in different heat ranges just because of that feature. Probably should look to get some more before they go up in price.
