    C4 shift points?

    Yes sir I'm positive. I can see it on the tach and feel it. It's VERY minute but if I'm nice to it outta the driveway i can wind it up to highway speed and it never shifts again lol

    Forged piston ID??? How to identify?

    H606P almost sounds like a Sealed Power part number. The H standing for Hypereutectic. If they say STD on them they most likely were not factory originals. I would say there's a good possibility they did in fact come from a GT but it was rebuilt once upon a time... Correct me if i'm wrong.....?

    Traction loc questions

    Mine actually does the same thing but only after i had about 1500 miles on it, it doesnt ratchet most of the time, but after i do a brake lock, which doesn't always spin em both and makes me angry, then it ratchets for 5-10 miles then its better again.

    C4 shift points?

    Mine will shift at idle. It's in third before i get to the end of my driveway if it's warm but on WOT it typically runs to about 4700 before it shifts i think

    393 Stroker parts list? Help me out please

    Well, they have the same front end as a mustang if I'm not mistaken, they ARE a fox body..... I wouldn't think there should ba a problem as long as i use a double hump pan.

    393 Stroker parts list? Help me out please

    Okay here's the deal, I'm planning on dropping a 393 in my 88 T-Bird. I have an Eagle rotating assembly, Cast crank, I-beam rods, and 273CP Speed Pro pistons (10.8:1). They're going in a 72 block, .060 so i believe that makes 399, using a custom grind 300 duration flat tappet cam with .540...

    On a budget.. which motor would you build?

    Wow these guys are all pretty distinct on the aftermarket... I know exactly what you're going through here. I'm 18 and last year, i built a '74 351W for my car; .030 Speed Pro 336CP's (about 10:1 with my heads) stock crank and rods with ARP Bolts, Lunati Voodoo 268H cam 522 & 538 lift, Cast iron...

    393 Swap for Ranger?

    Yeah but therein lies the problem. I have the block ready to go already, I have a bunch of factory rods, and I have a set of 273CP pistons for a 302 which I'm pretty sure is what i need. 5.956 rods with 302 pistons in which the pin doesn't intersect the oil ring and a 3.850 stroke. In that...

    393 Swap for Ranger?

    Hey guys i'm looking for some advice on a 393 stroker kit. I've got a '72 block, .060 with a spun bearing so i'm thinking a 399 stroker would be my best bet for a good time.....? I've heard bad things about factory rods and i've broken a few and bent a bunch with 300-350 hp stock stroke combos...

    Alt mounting? inexperienced 5.0 owner

    Actually i was mistaken, I looked at mine and those 3 holes I mentioned are actually on the power steering pump. The aluminum bracket is integrated into it

    Alt mounting? inexperienced 5.0 owner

    Actually, if the engine did in fact come from a Crown Vic or Grand Marquis, the alternator does go on the driver side. Theres an aluminum bracket that uses the studs on the top of your water pump and goes down the driver side. There's a spot in it that has i think 3 holes in it right on top of...

    here's one I never had happen before- $5 paypal to whoever can figure this out-

    Must be a spark plug lol... I'd actually hafta say it's your thermostat. Depending on what you're running for heads, it could be an improper line up of water jackets. i had a set of 289 heads on my 302 and it did the same thing when i beat the piss out of it, it would all of a sudden puke all my...

    Advice on engine parts.

    I'm not very familiar with the fuelie business but as far as your internals go, the sound good that X303 is a good choice. For your rear end, I'd suggest 3.73 or even 3.55 if you're planning on street driving. Also invest in a limited slip diff with carbon fiber clutches or a locker. Also, I...

    Car stutters at 4000rpm+

    Well if you're running a 351W with a Ford starter, you can get used to it lol... I.m not sure why either but every one I've had over 9:1 compression has done the same hard start thing and I've found absolutely no cure for it. I have one right now with 8.5:1 and the timing is set at 33 degrees...

    Auto Tranny ?

    I had an AOD leaking from that breather tube and it ended up being that there was too much fluid in it. Check that once

    Doing the one wheel peel...

    Well if your car sees anything but a straight line, I would highly advise you to NOT buy a mini spool. I had one and the 3rd U-turn i made on asphalt, it exploded inside and wiped out my whole differential. The original rebuild kit for your trac-lok is a good deal, but I bought one for a...
