    contemplating a megasquirt, ?,s on hardware

    ok basically this is all about $$$. im getting tired of poor gas mileage and tuning issues of the 750 dp, so after much research on the megasquirt it sparks my interest. what is holding me back is all the hardware involved. my first thought was to get a victor jr and put injector bungs on it...

    347 finally done, comments and questions

    2 months and 2 blocks later i finally got my 347 built. first block the machinist bored it .004 too far. got into an argument about it it would work or not took it to another machinist and he said he wouldn't run it, so i traded engines with my old mans pickup(let him have my 302 for his). the...

    rebuilding a 289 - what is this part?

    yes water holes in rear, it dosn't matter what side is up it there is no left and right on most gaskets. having the front blocked is MANDATORY. if the rear was blocked and the front open water would flow in then straight up and out the thermostat and not through the engine. you would cool the...

    Rocker arm question

    if your feelin really cheap, are good with a grinder and dont care about the rockers you can grind the rails off. some even have pins pressed in instead of riveted which can be pressed out. if you choose to buy rockers DO NOT get proform rockers. i wouldnt give them to my worst enemy

    Cam Comparison

    it has a faster ramp rate which equates to more power for a similar advertised duration. also more noisy. i'd use it. that crane looks to be a gentle lobe pattern with a flat turdlike torque band. the solid will have a feel like torque keeps increasing up till about 6k, and put a smile on your...

    piston bore clearance?

    well i ended up pulling the engine out of my old mans beater and replaced it with my 302 the stroker will be replacing. i took this block to a different machinist and told him what happened. he told me not to worry he'll take his time and get it dead on. it took about 2 weeks for him to get it...

    piston bore clearance?

    some further checking i see that all the pistons are dead on the same, using the same hole. when checking them i put them i upside down and measure at the center of the skirt. .005 passes easily the whole length of the feeler gauge on all holes, and .006 will fit tight in a few of them. maybee...

    piston bore clearance?

    i just bought a 347 kit and got the block back from the machinist. looking at the specs from kb piston bore clearance should be .0015-.002. when i went to install a ringless piston to check clearances i can fit a .005 feeler gauge between the piston skirt and bore. i gave them the pistons...

    Ford-o to t-5 swap on 63 Ranchero

    correct me if im wrong on this but the s-10 tranny is non world class and the tailshaft has provisionings for a thrust bearing that the world class doesn't hence the 4 cylinder tranny. but if thats the case you could take the tail shaft housing from a camero t-5(they are world class) and use on...

    Somewhat good day in the garage

    another thing with the manifold bolts you can do is hit them straight on with a hammer and punch(air hammer actually works best) when im putting over like 40 lbs of torque and nothing happens, i do this and it works well. if that still dont do it carefully do it from the side and get the...
