    347 cams whats everyone using???

    I am using a TFS 2 cam. The engine runs good and is very streetable. However, I have to agree with the idea of a custom cam. If I had to do it over again I would have went that route.

    Does anyone here have a tko-500

    Well, you will need a different bellhousing, different driveshaft because its 31 spline, clutch fork from a fox mustang, modify crossmemeber, and if i remember correctly you will need to change the clutch disc or change the whole clutch over.

    Does anyone here have a tko-500

    As far as the shifter fitting into the bezel area it fits like stock. You do have to make changes to the crossmember etc.

    Does anyone here have a tko-500

    I too have the TKO 500. I have added a shorter shift handle and as far as it going forward, there isnt much travel.

    questions about stock gt and cobra pulleys for 94-95

    I have been dealing with some cooling and charging problems on my 94 for some time now. I am currently using some underdrive pulleys. I am thinkin about going back to stock. Question.. Should I go back to stock (gt) or try to use the cobra waterpump pulley? From what I understand is its...

    Studdering and no power between 1,500 & 2K rpm...

    Definitely sounds like a miss. Its either electrical or mechanical. I would start by changing plugs. While changing plugs, you should check compression on each cylinder. I had a situation where it had a miss at part throttle and I changed everything. It was driving me nuts! I ended up...

    I can usually get around 100 miles on $10 of gas which calculates to around 4.5 gallons.

    engine running 220 deg consistently..

    I have already burped system and even drained coolant and added new 50/50. The car idles around 200-205 but if I get into it the temp climbs to 220 pretty fast. It has been extremely hot and humid the last few weeks. I know during the day it is horrible as far as performance. At night when...

    engine running 220 deg consistently..

    If you look at my mods you will see what I am working with. The engine wants to run at 220 degrees and sometimes higher. I have a steeda 2 core radiator with a 195 degree stat. I am also using underdrive pulleys. Any ideas as to why I am running hot? I dont have the original pulleys and am...

    fox tb conversion ?

    His only concern is the tube that connects the throttle to mass air. I ended up taking a tube off an 89-93 mustang and added a 4 inch to 3 inch reducer from lowes. This allowed me to connect mass air to tube. I cant verify performance gains because I changed a few other things on the car at...

    a/f ratio and widebands

    a/f ratio and widebands

    I have a tweecer and a plx m-300. If I have the meter set properly and computer is running closed loop with adaptive, should the wideband be reading a solid 14.6 all the time? The reason I ask is no matter how much I dink around with this maf function, I still get my wideband changing a lot...

    Best way to paint engine?

    POR-15 makes a really good engine paint. I bought their engine paint kit which comes with metal prep, degreaser, cleaner, paint, etc for around $35 or so. It really holds up too. I used Ford classic red. Here is a pic...

    dissapointing night at the track

    Found out what the problem was. I bought a compression gauge and tested cylinders. Guess what?? I had a dead cylinder. #8 read zero and all other 7 read 155 psi. Took the cover off and found that when I loosen both rockers I regained my 155 psi. Tightened them down and got 0. Something...

    Oil fill spout

    I am curious as to why you are having fitment problems to begin with. I dont know how different the throttle location is with trickflow vs edelbrock but on my performer 5.0 intake I was well within room. Also, the rpm that I am using now moved forward some but still gave me plenty of room.

    problem with compression but now fixed; have questions now

    I may pull lower intake and inspect lifter just to make sure. Ultimitely I want to go a custom cam from ed curtis and maybe the spring upgrade. At this point I would either go a 1.6 or 1.7 roller rocker. I would prefer something adjustable also. This is down the road though. It is amazing...
