    Back of a 5.0 intake for temp sending unit? Bad idea

    I have heard that the back of the intake will show a lower temperature than the front. So I tried it to see. Bad idea Seems that the fluid for the cooling of the engine is only about 1/2 way through the engine and hasn't picked up the heat yet. I switched the sending unit back and forth...

    Poke-n fun of the 6-71?

    I'm running two Edelbrocks 600 CFM -set up for a supercharger- I guess you would call them vacuum secondaries you can get them ready to go right out of the box and they work great no hesitation I have them hooked up direct 1 to 1 not progressive and there not to pricey. I was on a budget...

    Poke-n fun of the 6-71?

    I though that the two fours would run ritch and suck up more fuel. But I talked to some supercharger and supercharger carberotor experts and they all said the same thing that two carberotors was the only way to go. The engine I'm running is only a 306 mostly stock and it worked out nice.

    Poke-n fun of the 6-71?

    I had mentioned trying out a 6-71 supercharger on a fox and got bashed a few times. "It's to heavy" "It's obsolete" "It's not as efficient as a KB" Yep,, That's all true. But I have been running it and I got to tell ya ,,, "It's just to much fun" When I pull in...

    Question about running MLS head gaskets and stock valve train

    I have a mostly stock 5.0 engine and I'm boosting and I popped a head gasket. I was thinking of running the Fel Pro MLS head gaskets but will my stock push rods still work? I see the gasket is .041 when compressed. Anyone know what a stock head gasket is when compressed? Or do you know if...

    Thoughts And Opinions On The M-6007-x302 Crate Engine

    I have been looking at the M-6007-X302 crate engine and it would be hard to build a daily driver / street warrior engine for that price. With the aluminum heads and all stuff inside for $3650 I don't see how I could build an engine for that. I'm going to be doing a little boosting and I know...

    Which Rear Bumper Cover?

    I like the cobra rear bumper you can see the end of the tips and if you weld on bigger tips you can't see where they are welded on. It makes it look like the entire exhaust system is large. I know that may sound a little "Red Neckish" but it looks good 4" tips

    help with a 87 5.0

    The next time it keeps cranking over tell him before he unhooks the battery to stop it from cranking to pull off the small wire off the solenoid and see if it stops cranking. If it stops cranking the solenoid is good but it's picking up a 12 volt signal somehow to the "engage" thermal of the...

    Can a head gasket do this?

    I found it, I switched the pulleys around to increase the boost and gave it a good thrashing. I now have a dead miss and #4 is dead. I pulled the plug and I have water in the cylinder and white steam coming out the exhaust. I guess that the gasket was just starting to go bad and the extreme...

    Can a head gasket do this?

    Hi, I have a mostly stock 5.0 and I'm running a little boost 10lb max and this sounds nuts but here goes,, When I hit about 8lb of boost the water blows out of the radiator--So hard you got to see it to believe it-- But no water in the oil and no miss at an idle runs smooth and no problem...

    Need advice on choosing a short block

    I'm in the same boat you are in I'm looking around for a new engine also. I have rebuilt engines before and sometimes something unexpected will come up and you need extra machine work or parts and the budget flies out the window. The price at TREproformance is really good on the short...
