    Please Help..worse case/not happy

    Ouch!! Definately check for bent valve's. It's almost a gaurenteed the you smoked one or two of 'em. Also, be sure to use a quality double roller timing chain when you put it all back together. You don't want to cheap out and have this happen again!

    Do I need to find TDC when doing heads, but not cam?

    If your cousin still has the factory pure flat top pistons in his '86, checking piston to valve clearence is an ABSOLUTE MUST!!!! There's pretty much a 100% chance that the GT40 heads will not clear the pistons with out notching them for valve reliefs. The only head that is a bolt on for...

    Setting Pinion Depth using MHD Method

    Measuring the difference in head thickness is the easiest way to go when using FRPP gears. The Ford gears are usually extremely close, if not perfect when it comes to head thickness from gear set to gear set. Don't be surprised if you end up using the old shims, or the exact same thickness in...

    solid motor mounts w/o subframe connectors

    Just sitting in a Fox is enough to tweak the uni-body. I would highly reccomend investing in subframes, even on a bone stock car.

    tuning a demon carb

    What's youre idle speed? Have you run out of adjustment on the idle speed screw? If you turn the mixture screws all the way in, will it die, or still run? One possibility is that the primary's are open too far and are exposing to much of the idle transfer slots. to cure this, you need to...

    Engine Swap Questions

    4180C is the List# of the Factory Motorcraft/Holley Carb on '83-'85 HO Mustangs, and other 4V Ford engines of that era. They are considered to be part of the Holley 4160 family, but often cause problems because they are out of tune, and have a few anti-tamper features to keep freaks like us...

    Whats the deal with the crosswind intake?

    Yes it will. The Performer RPM, RPM Airgap, and the Weiand Stealth, are the BEST all around street dual planes out there.

    Whats the deal with the crosswind intake?

    Chinese knock off of the Performer RPM. Some have good things to say about the quality, others don't. Be sure to inspect it carefully and remove any casting flash from the ports before you install it.

    Slide a drain pan under the oil pan, remove the drain bolt in the front of the pan, let drain until it stops dripping. Move the drain pan back a bit and repeat for the rear drain bolt. Inspect the little plastic gaskets on the drain bolts- if they are cracked or broke, replace them(They're less...

    Waterpump help

    Bad idea. You can physically spin the pump in either direction, but it is the way the vanes on the inside face that determine whether it has to spin clockwise or counte-clockwise. You will end up with a ton of cavitation and overheating if you spin the pump opposite of what's it been designed to...

    Fuel Pump question...

    The '83-'85 CFI cars had 2 pumps- a low pressure in-tank, and a high pressure frame mount. All '86 and up EFI or SEFI cars have a single in-tank piump.
