    How Much Is This Explorer Engine Worth?

    I might be able to get it for $500 since I can pick it up, and they won't have to honor their free shipping.

    How Much Is This Explorer Engine Worth?

    They give the part an "A" rating which means it works as it should, so I'm assuming it has under 100k. I did ask them. We'll see if they respond.

    They do give a 6 month warranty.

    Engine Does The E303 Need New Springs?

    I have the heads off of my car to fix some valve seal issues. I was thinking of replacing the cam and timing set while I'm at it. Do I need to replace the stock valve springs with the E303 cam? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FMS-M-6250-E303/

    1970 Mach 1 Headlight Problem

    The headlight switch has an internal breaker. It's getting hot and breaking the connection. When it cools off, your headlights come back on. If you're running aftermarket headlights, they're probably drawing more current than stock, and flipping the breaker. The permanent fix is a relay kit.

    Keisler 5spd Installation - Write Up

    Yeah. A T5 is a much easier conversion (no cutting, or drilling), but I wouldn't put one behind a big block. Nice write up. Thanks.

    Rim Blow Buddy / Bad Restoration / See Pictures

    Did you send these pictures to them? $450 is a lot of cash. I'd be disappointed as well.

    Running Fine One Minute And Wouldn't Start The Next

    Turned out to be a failed fuel pump.

    Rim Blow Buddy / Bad Restoration / See Pictures

    That would depend on how they set my expectations. If they said it would be "as new", then no. If they said, they would make it look good, then yes. I don't think those color differences will be noticeable once the wheel is mounted on the car.

    Running Fine One Minute And Wouldn't Start The Next

    Definitely has gas, but the fuel pump isn't kicking on. I can't imagine what the tire guys could have done to it.

    Would A T5 Hold Up Behind A '70 Boss 302?

    I have someone wanting the cleveland and some cash for a Boss long block. An early T5 (up to '93) does fit. Many classic Mustang owners have done this conversion without tunnel mods.

    Performer Rpm Vs Rpm Air Gap Opinions?

    Everything I've read suggests that the Air Gap is superior. I have one on my Mach 1. The drawback, at least on a 351w, is the stock distributor wouldn't fit anymore. You also need to check your clearance with the hood. I have a drop base air cleaner and have about 1/8" of clearance.

    Would A T5 Hold Up Behind A '70 Boss 302?

    The Cleveland will be traded along with some cash for the Boss engine. What do you think a warmed up 4v cleveland is worth? It was rebuilt back in the '80s, but has hardly any miles on it.

    Running Fine One Minute And Wouldn't Start The Next

    I had new tires put on the '91 convertible last night. It had been running really well since the EGR valve was replaced. The tire guys drove it into the bay, put it on a lift, and replaced the tires. When they were done, they asked me if there was some trick to starting the car. It...

    Would A T5 Hold Up Behind A '70 Boss 302?

    I've acquired a '70 Boss 302 that was stolen and lost it's complete drive train sometime back in the '70s. It's got a 351 Cleveland, Lakewood scatter shield, top loader and a 9" with 3.90 gears now. Putting it back to stock would be really expensive, but I'd like to, at least, have the right...

    Convertible Top Has Trouble Retracting

    Ok, I'll take look at the cables and see if there's anything obviously wrong. Otherwise, I'll have to take it back to the shop that did the installation. For $1300 they need to get it right.

    Convertible Top Has Trouble Retracting

    I had the top installed last fall. Would the cables have been part of the installation?
