    Forged internals....whats involved and how much?

    That sounds about right - after you get through with the whole thing. I was quoted anywhere from $2400 -$3200 for parts and labor to build a shortblock and then another $1250 to have it installed. Then figure another $500+ for miscellaneous - oil pan gasket, timing cover gasket, seals, head...

    Procharger tuning problems on 99 GT

    Are they doing custom tuning now? Last time I was there they were only doing the basic Diablo tuning - which means run it on the dyno and then either look for a file that fits or wait for Diablo to write a file. I know they were going to try the Revolution software, but I didn't know they...

    experts, what is this underbody part?

    Take it off and beat the guy at Ford who told you that with it... show no mercy. Then swap the gears and add an aluminum driveshaft so you don't have to put it back on.

    Leaking Bassani X-Pipe

    My thoughts exactly. Permatex copper exhaust sealant. I'd put it on the edge of the inside pipe, slide them together, clamp them and let it sit for a little bit. The heat of the exhaust will take care of the rest of curing. That should fix your leak - might be a PITA to get back apart, but what...

    cams

    Liberty Ford in Baltimore. Like was said, he knows his stuff - he's a racer, unlike the other "key punchers" you would find at some dealers. His prices are also fair - I've compared what he has quoted me to websites like fordpartscheap, etc. and he's always right in line or less. Jay

    cams

    Look for the tool online - do a google search for OTC ford valve spring tool or something similar - I've seen them for around $70.00 As far as the sprockets and spacers, I would post what you need on the Ford Parts forum and modulardepot.com. Randy will take care of you and make sure you get...

    cams

    You need the left and right cam sprockets, two spacers, two bolts and two washers (if the bolts/washers didn't come with the cams). Are you swapping the valve springs, too? If so, you need the OTC Ford spring compressor tool. Jay

    Procharger tuning problems on 99 GT

    It's costs a bit, $795 for either the flasher or 4 position chip + SCT Advantage software. For that price you get the flasher or chip, software, support and a baseline tune for your modifications to work from and the stock values for your PCM. Take a looks at www.modulardepot.com - it's...

    Procharger tuning problems on 99 GT

    That, or do as I did, get the software/hardware to do your own tuning. SCT is offering a racer package that comes with a base tune you can modify... It takes some studying and the learning curve can be steep, but there's no replacement for being able to make modifications yourself.... You have...

    Service engine soon light

    You shouldn't have thrown the timing off. Have the code scanned at autozone and post it up. A flashing CEL usually means there is potential to damage the cats. I think more help would be available with the actual code... Jay

    how do i get the cam gears off

    Sorry, I wasn't very clear. Cams will not come with sprockets or spacers. You will need to order those. Check with the cam manufacturer on the bolts and washers - some, like VT, will send bolts/washers with the cams. Jay

    Will VT cams work with my headswap??

    You might check with Tim (hioc1098) - he might have been running a similar setup or PM Scott @ VTEngines (VTEngine). One of them should be able to address your clearance question. Jay

    how do i get the cam gears off

    No - no gears or spacers you need to order those. I recommend talking to Randy in the www.modulardepot.com parts forum if you need them. He's helped me out several times and is VERY knowledgeable. The cams did come with bolts and washers, though. Jay

    how do i get the cam gears off

    Sledgehammer.... Those are press on sprockets and won't work with an aftermarket cam. You need new sprockets, spacers and bolts/washers (if the cams don't come with them.... Jay

    Custom Dyno Tuning ???

    Do you have the exact codes? What was missing? Input data from a sensor I'm assuming. Your issue might be something simple.... That would be a start if you have the codes someone might be able to provide more help. Jay

    Question about EEC at WOT

    MAP - Manifold Absolute Pressure. Decrease in MAP = Increase in Fuel Pressure. Maybe some of the more knowledgeably guys will have more to add or PM white99gt or Sam98 - both are very versed in the EEC-V. Jay

    Question about EEC at WOT

    I can tell you for sure that the MAF readings are still used because the PCM still needs to know how much air is being pulled into the engine. The TPS reading is still used because the PCM still needs to know how far the throttle is depressed and MAP assists in controlling fuel pressure as far...

    n/a or supercharged?

    There is a big difference between taking a spin in a supercharged 4.6 and building a supercharged 4.6. Face the facts: If you want N/A power there is a great deal more preparation, thought and work that goes into developing power than there is with a blower. 300 N/A RWHP will take a lot more...

    n/a or supercharged?

    My opinion is it all comes down to $$$. You can build a quick N/A 281 w/ cams, heads and all the bolt ons. At that point you've got $3,500 - $4,500 into the motor (heads - $1500, cams - $500, exhaust - $500, Misc (plenum, pullies, chip, etc - $1,000. That will get you in the neighborhood of 300...

    Drilled/Cross Drilled Rotors...

    There was a company on E-Bay not too long ago selling authentic Brembo cross drilled and plated rotors for Mustangs. I purchased them and they arrived new, in the original box. I was very pleased with the product and the savings. Try searching E-Bay under Brembo Mustang. Install is a breeze if...
