    Removing map pockets in foxbody

    Heres mine. Just took them off and recovered with a black tweed fabric I found at the local fabric store. Pretty simple.

    completely rebuilding rear end

    It took me 2 days to do the complete overhaul. I had to truck the diff to a shop to use the hydraulic press to remove and install the carrier and pinion bearings. If you dont have air tools, I highly recommend buying the spacer/shims from 50resto to take the place of the crush sleeve. Trying...

    Worst injury while working on your car?

    Well, not on a mustang, but on the other things I wrench on, F-16's. One day I was refueling the jet while it was still running (called Hot Pits), after I was all done, I pulled the Landing Gear pins and went to put them in the little pin box in the Left Wheel Well. When I went in the well, I...

    What Heads with RPM II?

    Sweet. Great information guys. Will prob end up calling Jay Allen pretty soon for some more info. I really do want to go with a custom cam, but if not the 266 was probably going to be my choice with the 165's. Never thought about Canfields though. Have to see what Jay says, but in the...

    What Heads with RPM II?

    Ok, one other question. Over on the corral, a guy posted up who was running the RPM II, and some TFS Track Heats and was putting down some pretty good times. After comparing the Track Heats to the 165's, it seems the numbers were pretty close on the flowbench. Would these be a viable...

    What Heads with RPM II?

    Well Rick I am a few thousand miles away and one Pacific ocean from my shortblock. Wish I could go out and look at the P/N. However, from CHPs website for the 306 Street Fighter it just says "Probe SRS Flat Top Forged Pistons" I know I didnt specify anything other than stock CR when I...

    What Heads with RPM II?

    Well, thanks alot for all of the replies. Just trying to get my brain wrapped around everything before I swipe the ole debit card. I did notice though that the AFR 165's do flow more than the Edelbrocks (even with 2.02 intake valves) so I was pretty impressed. I would like to use an AFR head...

    What Heads with RPM II?

    What about some Edelbrock Performers with 2.02/1.6's with a custom cam. Could this give me what I am looking for while saving a bit of money at the same time?

    COOLING FAN GUYS..........

    I am using the new Black Magic Xtreme. The thing is huge, but fits quite nicely. I think if I took my front fascia and rad off, my car would take off with this thing. Cools awesome.

    Question about differential oil and friction stuff

    I used the part synthetic gear oil they had at AutoZone. It was around 5 bucks a quart? They said it didnt need the modifier, but it was only a couple bucks so I threw it in just for piece of mind. After the new clutches I installed for the TracLoc I had now probs. Nice being able to burnout...

    What Heads with RPM II?

    Yeah, didnt really realize that about the RPM II when I bought it last year. Although, Edelbrock claims that it does not lose any torque to the regular Performer and now that I have never used that one, I have no complaints about the RPM II's Performance. Now granted I just have the basic...
