    throttle sticking

    Alright, gotta jump in on this one. I had this very same problem after I did a TB swap a long time ago. I had a very mild 5.0, and scored a 70mm from a friend for free. After I put it on, I had a sticky pedal feeling at idle. But when the car was off, nothing. Basicallt what was happening...

    Need some power: what heads?

    When I did my last head swap, I bought the heads, new hardened pushrods, new roller rockers(went stud mount), and head gaskets. With oil, coolant, and all the extra little things, I had close to 2 grand in it. I did help a friend put on a set of GT40 irons that he scored for pretty cheap, and...

    AFR 165 or 185's

    Stock motor with 2.02 vales, more than likely p-t-v clearance problems. I ran AFR's with a B cam and 1.7's and had a slight clearance problem. Now, the E cam has less duration, so it may not be as bad, but I'd still hedge my bet and say it will. He 165's may be an easier install, but the...

    Buying Mac Longtubes 1 5/8th" any opinions?

    I have them, and they rub my steering shaft. Kinda sux. As for the install, they weren't too bad, but I had trouble cuz my T56 is much wider than the T5. And ditto for the finish. They're already rusty, and it's just a weekend car. Oh well, I'm gonna replace them with BBK, but I'm waiting...

    Your Opinion on the Viper t-56

    Hey, I got one of those :P I love it. Best $3000 I ever spent. And its gears are AWESOME for cruising down the highway. Now, just gotta get some 4.56's swapped in. BTW, my T56 is on it's 3rd summer, and that's after I ate 3 T5's in a year.

    SQUEAKING DRIVING ME NUTS

    I just bought a whole set of control arms, and replaced them all. Should be able to score them for around $200.

    SQUEAKING DRIVING ME NUTS

    could be the control arm bushings. I just replaced some on account of thunking/squeaking noises.

    Question on replacing hard brake lines in fox 'vert

    I did it, and I just ditched the plates all together. They don't do a whole lot, and a good pair of subrame connectors will tighten up any loss you may have had. But if you are goin to replace everything, then I say just go ahead and cut them.

    i am having some serious tuning and chip issues!!!

    I bought a TwEECer, and with no other tuning experience, got my car to run pretty good. As it sits, I was working on getting it's part throttle drivability better, but a friggin deer thought my car would look better all smashed up. So tunig is sorta on hold for now, but I wouldn't be too...

    engine swap

    No, supposedly, the Mustang had the ost powerful motor, but the Lincoln Mark VII LSC's had the same motors in them too. As for the Tbirds, I think they were also the same, but were slower on account of the heavier car.

    Stock Fuel Rail and 42lb Injectors

    My friend ran 42's on his blown car with stock rails, so you are cool there. And depending on the power you are making, the stock rails are ok to a point. I've heard around 450-500hp. Don't quote me on that though.

    Clunking rear driveshaft play.

    Check the drivesaft bolts too. Mine wiggled loose after I did my gear swap, so a little locktite on the bolts helps, and big arms.

    Went to Byron Dragstrip and ?????

    Well, you sorta answered your own question. Think about it, if you just turn the distributor till you max it out, then there's no way it's timed right. YOu need to get a timing gun. And second, that's a pretty non stock setup, so you really need some kind of computer tuning to maximize your...

    5.0 mag: BBK longtubes make LESS power than shorties

    Wow, fiery topic. I just have to interject, too. I have some experience there, and all I can say, is that my current setup makes butloads more low and mid range power, and I think that the LT's are no small part to that. And even if the did make more peak power with that engine with shorties...

    Adjusting RR on Stud Heads Question

    Start with the rocker arms with one on max lift, and the other closed. It's a good way to make sure that that arm is not on any lift. Then, loosen the poly lock is slightly loose, then grab the back of the rocker, holding the pushrod between your fingers, and tighten the polylock until the...

    High-pitch squeak from driver-side front suspension.....

    Check the ball joints too. If it squeaks when you turn the wheel when sitting still, your ball joints could be toast.

    annoying rattling

    First off, they are both shocks in the back, not struts. And the ones that lay forward are called quad shocks. They help eliminate wheel hop, and if they are bad, then it definitely can make wheel hop worse. If you have a noise out back, I'd check the control arm bushings also. I just...

    safe NOS shot

    I run 125, but am in search of a way to get more out of my Zex kit. But it's not a daily driver either. But I'd say no more than 150, just to be safe.
