    Engine install question

    I would suggest doing it with the front accessories off the engine - these are relatively easy to put on with the engine in the car, but can get in the way of the hoist depending on your setup.

    Rearend Rebuild

    Call Max at www.fivestarford.com for the best prices on Ford stuff. THere are different levels of rebuild kits that you can buy - it just depends on what you want to do.

    help me build a 331!!!!!

    I would go with a 347 and give Jay Allen a call for the cam - he'll get ya sorted (this wasn't meant to turn this thread into a 331 vs 347, but if you haven't bought the parts I would go 347 - just my $0.02).

    how the heck do i set this backlash?

    Petey - if you are thinking about using gear compound instead of a dial indicator, to check backlash, it kinda tells me that you don't really know what you are doing or why. I'm not trying to flame here, but backlash is a simply a measurement of the space between two surfaces. In the case of a...

    need some help- heads/cam swap

    Gotta agree with Mike here - just wait until you start putting this back together and doing things like cam timing, putting the heads back on, and adjusting the valve train. Also you will need to check things like piston/valve clearance, and push rod length unless you are doing something like...

    How to install new struts..

    As said above you will need an impact wrench to loosen the nuts on the top o f the strut - I went to a garage and they loosened them for me at no charge. Then drove home. Put the car up on stands - at least the front of the car. Remove the front wheel, caliper and rotor and dust shield. Take a...

    cam degrees?

    Where did you come up with 480 degrees of duration - that's quite the cam! Typically duration is simply the time that the valve is open, measured in degrees of crankshaft rotation. The crankshaft will rotate twice for every camshaft rotation. Also duration is usually measured at 0.050" of lift...

    Need tips on installing new clutch.

    I've never installed a clutch on an engine that was in the car, so I need some tips to make it easier because I've never taken my cars to a shop to have them worked on and don't plan on it either. -The actual clutch replacing part is pretty easy - removing a rusted on H pipe, and figuring...

    8.8 Carrier Bearing preload specs

    Here's another website alot of folks use when doing their diffs - perhaps this will help. Let me know if you find out what the preload specs are and how you actually measure it. I guess you would have to put that axles back in, and somehow put a torque wrench on to figure a preload setting -...

    8.8 Carrier Bearing preload specs

    http://www.corral.net/tech/drivetrain/gears.html Oops - saw you want carrier bearing specs - there is no "preload" as such for these bearings - you set up what you think is you backlash on the drivers side of the carrier, and then pack in shims on the passenger side such that they are as...

    H/C/I kit or buy seperatly?

    Some of it depends on what you want, and how much you want to spend. The TF kit will get you to about 300 rwhp and 320 rwtq if you have all the other supporting stuff. If you want more, then piece a setup together, but its gonna cost more. I think the TF is a really good bang for the buck for...

    What would I need to convert to a 347 stroker?

    either buy a crate engine and just drop it in - probably as cheap, but here's a quick run down of new stuff you will need... Crank Rods Pistons Bearings Machine work - budget $1000 for this Heads Cam Intake Throttle body MAF Injectors 255lph fuel pump AFPR Fuel pressure indicator...

    removing a pilot bearing

    You shouldn't really be hitting the bearing at all! Go rent the puller and use that. I think you may be thinking of the grease/soap method where you pack grease/soap chips in behind the bearing and then take a socket that will barely fit through the hole in the center of the bearing and whack...

    cobra intake install

    For someone running 12.95 with a 100 shot kit, and whatever other mods are listed in your sig, it sure seems odd that you can't slap on an intake without a tech article!

    nned help with taking out diiferential

    I used a pry bar with one end inside the carrier housing and prying it out against the bottom edge of the diff housing - I had to whack it a few times to get it to budge. When you put the new gears back in, you need to shim it so it will be just as tight going back in as it was coming out. I am...

    Water pump & balancer replacement, any advice?

    Ideally it is good to put antiseize on the balancer bolt, but if you didn't, I wouldn't bother pulling it off just to do that! I didn't bother with the crank pulley bolts.
