    Kenne Bell with no a/c ??

    Possible? I'm thinking about picking up a Blozilla soon, but apparently you need an a/c compressor in the stock location? Right now I have the fms delete kit that moves the p/s pump up.. is there a way to run this setup? Also, for anyone who has a KB, how do you like it? What size...

    Vortech, no p/s, no a/c, and manual rack - possible?

    Anyone running this setup? Right now I have the FMS a/c delete kit that moves the p/s pump up. I'm going to be swapping in a manual rack, so I'll need to find something to run just the water pump and altenator. I'm also throwing an s trim kit on the car a little down the road, so I'd want...

    TPS voltage spike - it's not the sensor

    Today I noticed that my tps voltage spikes around 75% throttle. The WOT reading is about 4.49vdc, idle is set to .997. It operates smoothly, but at around 4vdc, my voltage suddenly jumps to 0, then to 40(!)vdc, then once it's out of the "trouble zone" it resumes functioning normally. Of...

    Stock vs 1.72 rockers AGAIN

    Well some of you may remember my thread from a while back about my car being slower after I put a set of fms 1.72 rockers on it. I had a bunch of issues, one of which was the valves weren't closing all the way giving me about 60psi compression in a few cylinders. Well I put another shim under...

    Alright, how the #$@% do you get the dash skin off??

    I'm stripping my car, painting the interior, body, and wheels.. and I've got everything out but the dash. First I thought I would just remove the skin from the dash frame.. about 30 torx bolts later it still wouldn't come off. Then I figured I'd just pull it out frame and all, and I pulled the...

    ok, here's one.. stock cam'd car w/ 1.72 rockers SLOWER than w/ stock rockers

    See my sig or cardomain page for my combo details. I put a set of FMS 1.72 rockers on (the blue ones) yesterday. The install went well, they torqued properly and there's no unusual valvetrain noise. My car has lost some serious power since the install. With the stock rockers, if you had it...

    Difference between these two FMS rocker arms?

    I'm going to pick up a set of 1.7 rockers.. FMS makes 2 different sets, one is the Crane/Cobra version ($190), and the other is the blue Ford Racing version ($280-350).. anyone know what the difference is?? All the specs look the same, is the blue set better, or just blue? Cobra set...

    Anyone running a vortech w/ the fms ac delete kit?

    Tried a search but came up with nothing.. I'm thinking about picking up an a-trim for my car, and I swear I remember hearing/reading that the vortech setups don't work with the FMS ac delete kit for some reason (the one that moves the ps pump up). Is anyone running this setup? Have any...

    Effects of intake runners bigger than head runners

    I have a ported/extrude honed gt40 lower on my car with a set of powerheads. The runners on the lower are 2.10" tall, the powerheads measure 1.94". I had originally planned to taper the runners on the head a little bit to make the transition easier, but the way the powerheads are ported they...

    Leaning out in low rpm's - WHY??

    Ok, here's the story. See the cardomain link in my sig for a full rundown of my setup. I recently did a H/I swap, and ever since my car has been hesitant, bucking, and sometimes backfiring (intake) at low rpms (until about 3k). It's somewhat inconsistant.. sometimes if you give it some gas...

    AFPR -- vacuum line?? And fuel pressure adjustment question

    Ever since putting my crane AFPR on my car it's been giving me problems in the lower rpm's (hesitation, missing). I'm pretty sure the real problem is my TFI module (going to replace that soon), but I've been searching through threads on fuel pressure adjustment and I've noticed everyone...

    Ignition issues - worth upgrading to MSD?

    See my sig or garage for my info on my setup.. The car has a miss around 1900rpm, and feels hesitant/unresponsive until about 2500rpm. Once it hits 2500 or so it wakes up suddenly and pulls like crazy up to 6k or so. I've tried a different MAS, TPS is fine, EGR/IAB work, wires are good, no...

    H/I install troubleshooting.. fuel delivery issue?

    Just finished installing my heads, intake, injectors, and afpr. The car is sluggish and jerky until about 2800rpm, then it kicks in suddenly and throws you back in the seat, pulls like crazy way up past 6k. I think I'm leaning out at the bottom of the rpm range. I tried bumping the fp up to...

    Cobra intake tb port

    I have a cobra intake (supposedly off a wrecked 93 cobra) sitting in my garage. The tb opening is 70mm (unported). Pretty much anyone I've told that I have a cobra intake with a 70mm tb port has said I'm full of crap, they were all 65mm. The guy who gave me the intake says the oem 93 cobra...

    Where to get long bolts for cobra intake+spacer

    Anyone seen these for sale anywhere? I need the full set of bolts for a cobra intake with a 1/2" spacer. I bought the intake used w/ no hardware. I bought the spacer new, but it came with bolts for the gt40 (2 long 4 short.. I need 4 long and 2 short). I checked the usual places - summit...

    Suspension guys - probably stupid questions

    Well here's the story, when I bought my car it had some suspension work done - kyb gas adjusts in the back and gr2's in front with eibach competition springs. It has aftermarket c/c plates with some type of spacers on them. Anyway, my nose is really slammed to the ground and the car is VERY...

    e7te top casting numbers mean anything? .. and another factory freak thread

    Do the numbers on the top of e7's mean anything, or are they just date codes or something? I know the 8Jx on the back of the heads are supposed to be date codes. The heads on my car are stamped 17, the ones on my brother's car, and a spare set I have laying around both say 15. Any difference...

    Stock car + cobra intake = total loss of low end ??

    My brother just put a cobra intake on his 91 vert. Car is stock except for the intake w/ 3/8" spacer, 65mm ford racing tb, and 70mm c&l ma tube. After he put the intake on the car totally lost its low end. You can't spin the tires in first gear in this car unless you rev it to 4k and dump the...
