    Will a 347 work with stock H/C/I?

    I actually have a CompCams XE270HR cam I bought when I did the shortblock. I'm not sure I want to deal with the tuning issues with that. But I agree, I doubt I'd get much HP from it, but there's no way I wouldn't see some pretty good torque gains. We'll see. I did a leakdown test last night...

    First an foremost, do a FULL tuneup, and clean the MAF Sensor with some alcohol. See if it helps. Look at the spark plugs for any signs of oil or detonation (whiteness on the plugs). Does it kind of have a sound, like rocks in a metal can when you put your foot down?

    Best performance-mpg for 94 5.0

    You know, for the money you will spend on a good setup, you could just buy a crappy used civic or something if you want an economy daily driver.

    Best performance-mpg for 94 5.0

    A nitrous system will give you power and not affect your mileage when you're not gunning it. A semi best of both worlds, if you can live with the consumable aspect.

    Will a 347 work with stock H/C/I?

    I had the 347 built in 2005, with the best balance/build/parts I could get for $2500. Nothing crazy, but enough for a hot N/A setup. I've kept it wrapped up, only to unwrap it a couple times each year to cover it in oil and spin it with a wrench. It's still spotless. It's so pretty, I kind...

    Will a 347 work with stock H/C/I?

    It does have the valve reliefs on the pistons, sized for larger than stock valves. Hey, I suppose if it works, any H/C/I upgrades I do would be that much better :D

    Will a 347 work with stock H/C/I?

    So, another chapter in my little on-going saga to get my car reliable again, I believe I may have bad rings in the #1 cylinder on my stock/junkyard motor. I really don't want to spend a bunch of time/money rebuilding the short block, oy vey! Now, before go crazy with how stupid of an idea...

    Oil in #1 cylinder. Rings or seals? Or oil in the intake?

    I assume if the oil was coming through the intake, it would be in all the cylinders right? The intake plenum is pretty much always wet with oil. Most of the cylinders are dry except for #1. I just tore the top of the engine off convinced I had bad head gaskets but found no smoking gun...

    Looking great so far. I'd call up a paintless dent repair dude for that dent in the passenger door. Take your time with the sound deadening, it's worth it when done right.

    I'm repainting my car.....Grabber blue or Orange?

    Keep it orange, but make it metallic, like the burnt orange Saleen S7.

    94 5.0 loud fuel pump please help

    The noise is usually an early sign of failure. If it smells like raw gas, make sure it's not leaking from somewhere first.

    Fuel Pump Secondary Failure

    Did you leave the old gas in the tank for that long? You may be in need of a tank cleaning and new pump assembly with fresh gas and plenty of injector cleaner.

    I know how that goes. I managed to deal with it with the right fit and equipment (bar height, seat position, grips + gloves). I still get it, but it's not as bad as when I first started back into riding. Anyway, I think the best fitness program is just one that you can stick with forever...

    I've been all about the mountain biking since I'm next door to a local trail. Then I supplement it with 2-3 days a week of weight lifting before work. Once a month or so, I'll try to get a good hike in. I combine it with generally just eating less and taking it easy on refined sugar &...

    How do I get the most out of my 5.0

    I would just shoot for 500-600hp and spend the rest of your time/money trying to put as much of that power as possible to the ground. You'll find that it's nearly impossible with a streetable 94-95 mustang. Driving around town on giant slicks is super redneck, not to mention they won't help...

    Leno would have to just do it and write it off as charity work, haha From a commentary/humor standpoint, I really like Penn Jillette (Penn & Teller), but I don't think he's much of a car guy. My favorite car guy of course is still Leno, but he said he'd never do it because the corporate...

    Mill the heads are no? And which head gaskets?

    Excellent, thanks for the tips. I'll have them checked at least and go from there.
