    Strut tower problem with additional help needed

    It looks like you are going in the right direction with the repair. Cut out the rust and weld in new metal. I think the important thing is to remove the brake stuff and repair the driver side teh same way.

    Anybody know about ProComp aluminum heads?

    One more thing. The intake ports are slightly higher than stock, so that when you install them you have to cut the tabs off the bottom of the intake gaskets that normally lock into teh head gasket tabs. I had to use extra thick gaskets to make everything seal up properly.

    Anybody know about ProComp aluminum heads?

    I got the heads on my 347. Here is what I have found. 1. If you are going to buy the heads, get them assembled from a reputable supplier. The pushrod holes going through the head are too small and need to be machined, a reputable suplier will take care of this. 2. Make sure you get guide...

    5-LUG CONVERSION

    Unfortunately junkyard parts are the way to go. SN95 spindles from a 94 or 95 are what you need for the front. There are 5 lug conversions that just change the rotor, but you are limited by the type of wheel you can use. If you are going with changing the spindles, you will have better...

    how to tell if the engine is pinging

    Unfortunately I don't have anywhere to spray the car on the street. I will be retarding the timing 6 degrees. I am also going to data log teh run with the a wideband. I thought 12.5 to 1 was safe. I guess I will be looking for a little bit richer mixture.

    Thanks for the info and pics. I think I will go with the 255 since I am running a 9 inch rim. Most of the Pics with 245's appear to be on 8 inch rims.

    need pictures of wheel/ tire combo fox 5 lug

    All of the wheel tire combos posted look great. My statement was misunderstood. I want to know if a 245 tire looks right on a 9 inch rim. Mustangs with 245's were spec'd with 8 inch rims.

    cfi to carb help!!!!!

    The fuel pump wire is tan. You will have to find a switched power source for it as well as find the ground; both previously went through the computer. It is easiest to trace the wiring back from the relay under the seat, you will then be able to confirm you got the right wires. As far as the...

    wanted-pictures of rollbar install

    Thanks for the Pics. I like what you did with the cross bar. I just bought the 4 point roll bar but I think I will have the cross bar welded in along with the extensions that run along the base of the seat up to the front of the car.
