    Open "Ricing" of MustangGurl's Civic

    I bought a 72 mercury monterey in the late 90's for $75. Put 5 gallons of fresh gas in the tank, put in a new battery, points and condenser, and drove it home.... on the way doing several smokey burnouts. Then proceeded to pull the 351c2v and fmx.... both of which I still have. the whole...

    Mufflers: Offset vs. center outlet

    I'll put in my vote for anything made by Walker / Tenneco, who make the dynomax line. Fit / finish is always good, and the performance and sound is excellent. However, asking about mufflers is a very opinionated thing, about like asking about which oil you like to use.... lots of judgement...

    Detroit Area Mustang guys

    Correct, FME, for ford employees, but all Ford enthusiasts are welcome to participate. I've heard rumors of a price increase for next year, and this year we had to start charging for spectators (like $2) to help cover expenses cause some nights were not well attended. I'm the VP you'd think...

    frame rails

    I'd start off by going after the inspector in small claims court to get at least your $450 inspection fee back. That's a load of BS!:bs: :bs: :bs: I'm sorry I can't offer any estimates, I'm sure they vary widely across the country.

    Holley carb baseline settings

    general rule of thumb is 1.5 to 3 turns out depending on how the thing idles. Set your timing, then your idle speed (650ish with a stockish cam) Then turn the screws in, CW, about a half a turn per side, go back and forth side to side. If the idle mixture screw setting is the problem...

    Electronic Ignition

    I think the easiest way to convert to electronic ignition is to install an ignitor module in your stock distributor. The install is straight forward and takes less than an hour. You could replace your stock coil, cap, rotor, wires and plugs at this point if you've not recently done a tune up...

    balancing question

    balance questions well there is balance and there is balance. Fords are externally balanced, meaning, the crank itself must have a matched combination of the correct flywheel/flexplate and balancer to make the complete assembly "balanced". We're speaking rotationally balanced here, not...

    anybody know the part # for a 90 5.0 t5 flywheel

    90 flywheel I'm on the opposite end of the same problem. I have a '90 stock flywheel that I was going to put back into the car in preparation to sell it, I'm keeping my billet steel flywheel, motosport clutch and lakewood bellhousing for the next project. There seems to be some confusion on...

    351w Power Potential?

    I've done some of this and decided to go stroker. First and foremost, HEADS. I have twisted wedge, but I wouldn't buy them again because the relocated valves create piston problems with bigger cams. I'd say for a street engine AFR185 is the way to go. Also, if going carbureted, make sure you...
