    can u identify this cam?

    With a caliper or micrometer ... usually your local CSK autoparts store will carry a cheap $20 digital caliper that works well enough to get the job done. When you look at the cam lobe you see that it has a base circle and then the lobe rises off of the base circle to a rounded peak and then...

    can u identify this cam?

    I'm looking at the parts listed in your sig and it says a 'B' cam ... Do you think it's possibly the stock Fy-Voh Hoe cam? If it's a roller profile and has a lobe height around .450" from the center line axis than I would make an assumption that it is :shrug:

    nasty vibe while driving

    Hijackin' a thread eh .... Well if it only happens when you brake .. I'm gonna suggest checking the brakes ... try looking at the rotors to see if they're warped. To the original poster ... vibrations are a B. The best way to find the culprit when you've got the shakes everywhere is through...

    Granatelli Lowers worth the price?

    They will perform just the same, but a little more money ... you will feel no difference between the two on your car :nice:

    Installing Upper/Lower Control Arms

    Last minute point ... don't tightened the bolts completely until the suspension is compressed (as if it was sitting on level ground) ... you want to avoid binding the bushings as much as possible.

    clutch recommendations...

    Confusion is in the mind of the beholder ... Yes, "Ford Racing" makes two different HD kits for our cars. The "HD" kit for bout $150 and then the "King Cobra" kit for about $170 from some retailers. The KC kit comes with a pressure plate that has revised prong geometry to improve the...

    Granatelli Lowers worth the price?

    Opinion from An Outsiders Perspective ... Whenever I'm taking a crap and thumbing through my Summit catalog I always stop at the Granatelli control arms and snicker. The only question I have is why they designed them with the spherical rod end on the torque box side of the arm??? I guess it...

    FMS B spring install

    Sure ... for the drop they may be "too tall" ... Running a shorter sidewall, like a 225/50 on the front, will also drop the chassis a little closer to the ground as well. I personally run 225/55s on the front and 245/50's on the rear of one of my Stangs. The wider 245's he has now up...

    FMS B spring install

    1 - Your tires aren't too tall ... 25.6 to 25.7" is the factory tire height. 2 - 'B' springs are progressive rate and will compress more than the specific rate 'C's when front end weight is rested upon them giving your car a lower drop ... especially so with iron heads and all accessories 3 -...

    piston size

    I suppose in a drag use situation, where you cook things more regularly, having another bore point for a block isn't all that bad .... but I also suppose trying to unshroud a large valve head as much as possible doesn't make much sense either. Ahhh the constraints of the factory spec blocks.

    You can see my public profile by clicking on my Screenname. Anything you want to know about my day at the strip is there. Again you have to weigh the cars lack of drag traction. A lot of guys on here boast et's that are unrealistic to the real world. An 11 second car is easily obtainable...

    will it work, this is here the question

    "Alphabet" cams do not suck. They have to be used appropriately within a combo of matched parts for a desired outcome. I'm sure there are a dozen alphabet guys on here that would flip you a bird while pulling away from your ride in thunderous victory ... Before you labeled my post...

    piston size

    A stock piston will have a diameter of 4.000" ... or real, real close to it (I never mic'd a series of them to be any more accurate with my answer. Oversizes are 4.030", 4.040" and 4.060". The best way to tell if the piston is cast or not is to look at the appearance of it. A cast piston is...

    Best Heads for 347 Stroker

    Why are you knocking my car. :shrug: It is right where I built it to be. We all know a 306 can make good peak numbers, that is not at issue. I built the car to have a nice broad power curve, pull hard on the street and still be able to lug it down to 1500 without bucking or acting up. It...
