    Need Some topend motor advice

    I would also recommend the track heats over the standard twisted wedge. You get a better spring package capable of supporting cams up to .600 lift. That leaves you room for a bigger cam down the road without having to buy springs. Also to save you some money buy the Trick Flow gasket kit as...

    Stock height with draglites

    Krafty I honestly can't report any problems with the skinny tires up front. I have owned 9 mustangs and I have used all sorts of wheel and tire combinations ranging from 17x9 cobra r's to roh 16x8's, pony wheels, rodlites, prostars, and of course the draglite wheel and tire combo on the coupe...

    Foe everyone screaming "Daggar"

    Posted by FrankenStang: "Ok, here it is: I like men. I like women. I would never be in a relationship with a woman (they are evil) but, I would a man. I'm attracted to men AND women. I've never been with a woman but, if the relationship I'm in is strong enough, there's no reason why I...

    Stock height with draglites

    Most people go with a 15x8 with 5.5" backspacing on the rear and a 15x3.5" in the front. Here is a pic of my 88 coupe. I have the exact wheel dimensions I just listed with stock ride height. I will get some better pics in the near future. This is with a MT Sportman front tire in a 26x5x15...

    best drag radial

    I have owned all 3 of them. On my old 331 car the BFG 275/50/15 would hook up better than the small 235/60/15 MT Et Streets I tried. I should have tried both in the same size but when I bought the MT's I was in a hurry and they were in stock locally so that's why I ran the smaller tires. I...

    Emergency brake has rear brakes stuck.......Please help!

    I ended up jacking the car up and soaking the cable end at the drum with PB Blaster and working the cable some while tapping the drum with a hammer. They eventually freed up. I backed the adjuster nut off some and now they turn smoothly. I drove the car for a while yesterday and the brakes...

    Emergency brake has rear brakes stuck.......Please help!

    Yeah I went about 100ft or so in reverse up my driveway trying to get it to unfreeze. It will lock back up within 10ft of moving forward. I tried working the e-brake handle up and down while moving both ways and it never helped it any. I'm about to go pull the rear drums off and soak the...

    Emergency brake has rear brakes stuck.......Please help!

    My coupe was in the garage for about 3 months when the motor was being built and the parking brake was on the whole time. Well now the rear brakes are stuck on all the time. I have tried soaking the cable with PB Blaster and that didn't do anything. Do I need to take the drums off and spray...

    BUYER BEWARE!!! Radiator at Autozone

    Never had any problems out of my Afco aluminum radiators..... I did have the 2 row one from advance auto in my s/c 93 and it actually cooled it perfectly. It never got over 185* even when it was 95 degrees outside. The same car put over 460hp to the tires as well. Maybe I just got lucky.....

    How much hp will a stock 5.0 block handle

    I have exploded two different stock blocks in the past 3 years or so. The last one was a stock 90 5.0 block that was turned into a 306 with a Novi on it. It made 467rwhp and it busted the main caps and split right in front of the starter. The other one was a DSS Pro Bullet 331 N/A car that...

    Valve Lash?

    I know it's not raw gas puddling up out of the tailpipes. It's simply water from condensation. I guess our brand new 07 Tahoe is messed up since it puddles liquid out of the tailpipe that smells like fuel......lol Think for a minute guys, it can't be raw gas because if it was running that...

    *Engine won't run right since head install, please help!!!

    I am running the autolite 3924 plugs in it. I readjusted the valves today to 1/4 turn past zero lash and the engine ran perfect for about 10 minutes and then all of a sudden the same thing started happening. Started stuttering and dying below 4,000 rpms and acted like a valve was hanging open...

    *Engine won't run right since head install, please help!!!

    If I have the improper length pushrod will my engine act this way and stutter and miss at low rpms and then rev fast and nice once I rev it hard in the rpms? The car acts like the valves aren't opening and closing like they should and it has no vacuum hardly down low and won't run unless you...

    *Engine won't run right since head install, please help!!!

    If the distributor is one tooth off would it do this? The engine is missing and stuttering until around 3,000rpms and up when it revs normal. I am really confused as to what is going wrong here. I thought at first maybe my pushrods were the wrong length but I've read where stock length should...
