    Little wiring help please

    Hey John, *made in china*... well there's your problem. LOL I wouldn't run any of the power wires through the 30a fuse holder. The holder was probably designed with a 30a max load in mind... not a 70a. Run the load wires directly to your tyco relay and you should be fine (pins 30 and...

    306 supercharged 450fwhp - Input needed

    (imho) Hypers are good parts, I run them in my Cleveland... BUUTTTT I would never run them in a poweradder application. To me the cost savings and weight savings isn't worth the risk. But thats just me... I'd go forged and know that they are good to go. I'd also go with good I beam (or in...

    cam selection need advice

    That's pretty stout for "only" 351 inches and "only" 185's... (imho) I would look for something like this with 205's / 225's and 408 / 427 inches. ...at least for a street driven ride anyhow. A saturday night special, maybe... but I still think it's about one notch too much cam, for the...

    cam selection need advice

    Lack of info john... How much gear are you running? What do you want the car to do (road course, drag only, street-strip, ???) Trans / stall? Does it have to pass smog or not? Is it "just" a 351 or is gonna be a 392/408/427? Is it gonna stay n/a or are you gonna force feed it...

    My 3 link update

    < agree move the pan, lengthen and keep her flat when at ride height (dont forget to put your weight worth of something, in the drivers seat when you set it mounting point) ;) Also, (don't get me wrong, you have done a good job) you could do away with your Y bar for the top mounts and go to a...

    timing a carb'd 5.0

    (imho)... I would back the vacuum advance off about 10 deg and then add 4-6 degrees more initial advance (turn the dist)... for a 10-12 degree at idle reading. You note (if I understand you correctly) that you have 6 degrees initial (reading at idle) and you have 29 total centrifigal in...

    Pressing piston pins out and back in.

    If you've got a good set of hot mits (like for smelting) you can throw them in the oven (dont let the wife catch you) and heat em to about 350, sometimes that helps em' "let go"... The arbor I used is just a 10 ton here at work. (but I heated em in our anealing oven first) :nice: EDIT...

    Bear brake experiences

    You can get the same setup quite a bit cheaper by getting a kit to bolt 03+ svt cobra calipers and 11" slotted / drilled rotors on your car. (the two piston PBR calipers are the same as late model cobra stuff, except they say "baer" in place of "cobra" and they cost more :D ) Just fyi...

    351C-2V Camshaft help.

    Fair enough... Dont use the stock valves, they have been known to come apart in higher rpm/higher power applications. Plus they already have 30-40 years worth of wear and tear on em. The newer cams use quicker ramp rates, higher lifts and longer duration than stock cams, thus generate...

Or call U-Pull it and ask for a "ford guy" and tell em...

    Cooling system Gurus please step inside

    Get two stainless hose niples the right size for the heater hose, turn them back to back (niple sides out) then put a stainless washer in between them (I think I used one for about a #10 or 1/4" maybe...) and tig weld it together. Or you could use brass and just braze it, I guess... You...
