    what happened to my 342 stroker?

    The other night I was out driving around and ran 2nd gear up to 6k. It was at that moment I hear a loud bang then some clatter clatter afterwards. My immediate response was... oh *****!. The engine didnt stop running but continued to run the car. I was 2 miles from home in 30 degree weather...

    can you make a non roller 351 a roller block?

    Thanks for the input. I have (or had) a 342 and it threw a rod. So now I am looking into the idea of a 351.

    can you make a non roller 351 a roller block?

    I am curious to know if you can take a 351w and allow it to be a roller. I have read somewhere that its possible or thought I have. Anyone have any info on this?

    aftermarket alternator bracket for 94-95?

    This is rather interesting. However I think the setup does sit quite high. I know the hood wouldnt clear this.

    converting to fox accessories, losing a/c, questions about balancer

    This is what I thought. Do you know about the crank pulley? Would this need to be changed also?

    converting to fox accessories, losing a/c, questions about balancer

    I am planning on somewhat switching to fox accessory style but will use March brackets for alternator and powersteering. Once I switch timing cover and water pump over will my balancer be ok? I am a little confused here because converting to fox will move accessories outward. Balancer will...

    aftermarket alternator bracket for 94-95?

    From what I have read, if you go to a fox cover and pump you and up being too close to the electronic fan. I dont know if this is accurate though.

    aftermarket alternator bracket for 94-95?

    Do you have a pic? I am curious as to what it looks like. Did you retain your a/c? Since I posted that thread last night I was doing some research and found one person had tried the alternator bracket. Apparently with 94-95 accessories being moved inwards an inch or so, the alternator hits...

    aftermarket alternator bracket for 94-95?

    I would like to drop the bracket and go with something similar to what March performance sells. I no longer have the smog pump either. Anyone know of a suitable bracket or will I have to make one? From what I understand the bolt holes on the water pump are not the same on 86-93 and will not...

    Does anyone here have a tko-500

    I used an aluminum bellhousing from an early 80's Mustang SROD tranny. The part number will cross over to what Tremec recommends without a hefty price.

    Does anyone here have a tko-500

    No what I meant was the Motorsport driveshaft isnt the same driveshaft as 94-95 one. The one I purchased was balanced and set for the tremec. When I purchased the tremec it was back in 1999. T-56 would be a good route also. I believe they handle the same amount of torque.

    Does anyone here have a tko-500

    I would really hate to quote myself because I did say that I purchased the Motorsport driveshaft which would mean that its not the 94-95. If I could have gotten away with the 94-95 without issues then I would have used it. I am not aware of the spline option. The one I purchased required the...

    Does anyone here have a tko-500

    You dont need to use a driveshaft spacer. I used a motorsport driveshaft that works with this transmission. You will need to change the clutch disc. The stock setup uses 10 spline and tremec uses either a 21 or 26 (cant remember). Whichever one it is its the same as a chevy disc since chevy...
