    Engine Removal

    hey man...before you go about pulling the engine, I'd go through and make sure it's not something stupid. as for engine removal...it's fairly simple. Drain all fluids. Remove your power steering pulley and undo the brackets holding the a/c and powersteering pump. Hang that out the way. Undo the...

    CRANK HARD TO TURN ??

    the only thing you can really do is turn it over as much as you can and inspect parts to see if anything seems out of place. Perhaps someone put a super torquing on you main caps? I don't think that'd cause your problems. Only way to know for sure is to tear it down if nothing seems obvious up front

    It's about that time

    Engine's out! :D I've got the itch man....*insert perverted joke here* about the interior...I changed the carpet from red to black and I did a rear seat delete (made it..I'll post pics sooner or later). I'm wanting some black seats and a fr500 steering wheel w/ black airbag then I'll be mostly...

    It's about that time

    to be honest, it's been killing me not to. I really just haven't been feeling up to it but now that I have so much more free time...I figure what the hell...might as well. As soon as my canton pan and all my gaskets get in it's on

    Engine brackets/parts you'd like to see powdercoated

    that stupid bracket that holds the coil. EVERY single one I've seen looks rough. I got mine coated already...but that's one of the first things you see when you open the hood, haha

    It's about that time

    I think I'm ready to get rid of the stock engine with a 75 shot. I have an engine that I built for the 95 cobra (the one that got totaled out). I put it in thanksgiving and it has about 3500 miles on it. Just a forged 331 w/ ~8.5:1 compression, blower cam, heads, few other things. I have...

    Alternator I THINK...

    at first glance, I'd say alternator. If you can get the car running I'd check the voltage coming out the alternator

    Caption contest, inside! You gotta see this!

    now you just need to get a hamster under the hood of a honda. I would say you need the extra dog-power to make up for the 6cyl engine...but I'm rather partial to the 300cu in.

    quick vortech question

    If the short belt starts squealing let me know if you're interested, I can show you how I notched the vortech alternator/smog pump bracket to get more of a turn on the tensioner.

    quick vortech question

    some guys have luck running the short belt...others have nothing but problems (all kinds of squealing) I run a shortbelt (no smog, I have a/c) and my belts used to last about 3 months before they would chirp. I took the alternator/smog bracket off and indexed the tensioner. I just drilled...

    D-day

    as far as breaking the engine in goes: I wouldn't let it idle with no load on it for very long. The first hundred miles of a new engine are the most important ones. I've found that the best way to break a motor in is to get on the highway (at night) and get in 3rd the floor it to put...

    some pics of the new car +others (56k run away)

    If you want them then no problem at all. They could use a good steam cleaning. I'll let you know after I get my other seats in.

    some pics of the new car +others (56k run away)

    haha, I've always kinda wanted the porno red...if nothing else just to be different. I think I'm gonna go ahead and order the black carpet and the black seats with a black rear seat delete....I think the red will stand out a bit more, but not so much that it's overwhelming. I'm getting a list...

    some pics of the new car +others (56k run away)

    You'd better believe it's porno red, hahaha. To be honest, it's not really all THAT overwhelming. I think the red steering wheel was a tad too much....so that'll be going. But, cover the red steering wheel with a black cover, and break up the red on the floor by using black floor mats and it's...

    some pics of the new car +others (56k run away)

    Well, as some of you know I replaced my totaled out '95 cobra with a '94 GT vert. I wanted some opinions. I'm changing the carpet and seats out. I know I'm getting black seats...but do you think it'd look better with black carpet or red carpet? I'm also making a black rear seat delete. Here's...
