    Focus Question

    Yeah, I think they usually just use one common wiring harness. Probably wouldn't hurt to ask Ford about it. One other thing I was wondering about was the odometer, but I guess that would probably be controlled by the computer.

    Focus Question

    It might...I've never worked on a focus, but sometimes the new cars come with all the wiring, even if it didn't come with all the options.

    Restomod build

    I don't think it would be that hard to get 400 FWHP out of a 289. My 302 with 9.5:1 comp, ported '70 351W heads, HO cam, headers and a 4 bbl will do around 340 FWHP. Now, granted, I did get that number from engine analyzer (which is reputed to be fairly accurate), but with aluminum heads, a...

    What everyone's projects for the winter?

    What's everyone got planned for their cars over the winter? For me it looks like I might be replacing or rebuilding my AOD, because its started to slip in 1st gear. Hopefully, it doesn't need rebuilding, but I expect it does. I'm also going to order a fiberglass teardrop bubble that I'll...

    Engine colros?

    I painted mine Old Ford Red. But I wouldn't recommend it unless its going in a red car. It looks a bit too much like Chevy orange. It looks decent in my car though.

    New Best

    Kind of a disappointing day for me. My best was a 15.7 @ 87, but I was hoping to improve on the 15.6 @88 I ran last week. I ran a bunch of 15.9s and 16.0s too. I did have a few wicked reaction times though, I think a .010 and a .030, which I'm pretty proud of. Part of the problem was I did a...

    So how did it go at SIR?

    I had a really good day. It was my first time racing, so I'm just happy I didn't break anything or do something stupid, lol. Managed a best of 15.6 @ 88, which was about what I was expecting. I think the AOD is really holding me back, but I am lovin the mileage. Erin (Girl22?) recognized...

    Gettin the car tuned up...

    How are your carburetor belts holding up? Remember, when in doubt, change them! Also be sure to put winter air in the tires before it gets too cold.

    306 carb size.

    FWIW...I just bought a Holley Street Avenger 570 for my 306. Right in the little instruction booklet it explains how to tune vacuum secondaries. Something to the tune that if you feel a surge of power when the secondaries open, it is not tuned properly. The power should rise steadily. The...

    What a Weekend

    Ummm...I highly doubt that it reinforces the frame...glass is not know for its structural integrity...but I have been wrong before... P.S. Yeah the rain sucked, I was going to SIR too, but a dead battery (left the lights on) and an insane amount of rain prevented it (like rain of biblical...

    If anyone can hook me up with a 302 standard bore ... PLEASE respond!

    Hi, I have an 84 or 85 block that I believe is standard bore. Its not a roller block however, and I'm pretty sure it would need a teardown and probably rings and bearings at least. I don't have any need for it, but its in Saskatchewan right now, but I could get it to Three Hills AB in a...
