    Engine Break-in - Oil Type?

    Im just finishing my 347 build and was wondering what type of oil is ok to break it in with? It has moly rings if that makes a difference. Im reading two different things, some say to use a non-detergent oil and some say to use regular oil like 10w40. Which do I use? Clay

    Pics of your seats...

    Heres a picture of mine. They are Corbeau Forza 2's. Pretty comfortable for what they are. They are in my daily driver and use the car for road racing also. The only thing I dont like is the material is very thin and delicate. Anything remotely sharp will cut/tear it.

    Balancer

    Sorry I should have said in the first post. I am building a 347 and it was recommended to run a 28oz imbalance. I was just wondering if a 28oz balancer and a 28.2oz flywheel are going to be the same?

    I ordered a 28oz balancer and have a ford flywheel sitting around that is 28.2oz. Will these two work together or will I need a new flywheel? Clay

    Cam for a 347?

    I just pulled my engine because of a siezed oil pump and a broked pump driveshaft. Ive decided to build a 347 stroker using a CHP kit, AFR 185 heads, a Performer intake (I already have it and can upgrade later), but cant decide on a cam. It has to pass California emissions so everything needs...

    Bent Moser axle?

    I recently put cobra brakes on my 88 and have a bad vibration/moaning in hard turns. I used Moser axles because I thought they would be good. Today I put an indicator on the rotor and found that it was .012" out! I checked the other rotor and it was fine. I took the rotor off and put the...

    15/16" master cylinder vs 1" w/88 Booster

    Racerraji - I just put cobra brakes on the front and back of my 88. I used a 93 cobra MC which is 1". The petal feels great. Not much different than stock.

    Getting car painted but have some questions

    A couple days ago a guy at work backed into the front of my car with his truck. It bent the hood, broke my brand new diamond lights, and tore the bumper. I got the money from him and bought from Cervinis a 2.5" cowl hood and a stalker bumper. I can get a good deal on getting the car painted...

    Cobra Brake question

    Im going to be upgrading to cobra 13" front and 11.65" rear brakes soon using sn95 spindles. I have a question about the parking brake. I have read that you need to cut the spring and weld the gear on the parking brake handle. Is this right? What cables do I need to use? I see that 50resto...

    Steeda Wheels

    I am going to convert my 88 to 5 lug using SN95 spindles and hubs and cobra brakes. I think I like the Steeda Ultra-lite II wheels. Does anyone know if they will rub? They are 17x9. The wheels I have now are 17x8 and it just barely rubs on the plastic at full lock with 245/45 tires. I will...
