    Picking my edelbrock heads, 2.02" or 1.9" intake valve?

    I'm going to be ordering the edelbrock performer heads for my 306 build up soon. My question is, which head should I go with: the one with 2.02 in. valve (PN #60399) or the 1.9 in. valve (PN #60379)? I'm going to be sticking with the smog legal performer package, the car is a daily driver, and...

    Brand new 306 short block for $650. Should I get it?

    Here's the info: The seller says he does not have the receipt, but the block is from Keith Craft. I'm still a little new to all of this, but would it work if I built the rest of this to go in my 94 5.0? Do the harmonic balancers and flywheels vary in any of the years? I have until Friday...

    What can cause hot spots on the pressure plate for a KC clutch?

    Hhmmm... before I had a new clutch done, there seemed to be some sort of binding in the cable. Everytime you depressed the clutch, it would make a creaking sound. Now with the new clutch, it doesn't make any sound at all and it depresses silently and smoothly. Strange :shrug: I won't...

    What can cause hot spots on the pressure plate for a KC clutch?

    I've got the ford aftermarket quadrant. I thought it was adjusted right, but apparently not. I didn't baby the clutch, but I wasn't thrashin on it all the time either. And generally if I'm not shifting, my foot isn't on the clutch - I've tried to become very self conscious of that. So I...

    What can cause hot spots on the pressure plate for a KC clutch?

    I had a King Cobra clutch installed early this February and a month ago the throw out bearing started chattering. I had it pulled apart to replace the TOB, but I checked the pressure plate and it had hot spots all over it. Since I had the entire thing apart, I went ahead and replaced...

    Anybody running 1 chamber flows with pipes?

    Did you run pipes afterwards or just dumps?

    Anybody running 1 chamber flows with pipes?

    Got any sound clips? I was thinkin of getting a bassani catback later on, don't really like the SLP tips. How is the cruising drone? I do know of a 5.0 with 1 chambers, but he's runnin dumps. Wondering how pipes would sound.

    Anybody running 1 chamber flows with pipes?

    I've got stock headers, 2 cat bbk xpipe, and an american thunder catback (2 chamber delta flows). It's a little quieter than I expected, I'd toss my pipes but I kind of like the look, not to mention I just paid for them. Anybody have 1 chamber flows with pipes? Is it pretty loud? I don't...

    Which throw out bearing to get?

    I probably drove around with my foot on the clutch pedal when I first got it, but I got rid of that habit as soon as I was comfortable driving stick. I guess I'll just get a factory TOB.

    Which throw out bearing to get?

    I've had my King Cobra clutch in for probably around 10k miles. The throw out bearing is going out I think, there's a ton of chattering and rattling. It seems like people went back with the stock tob but I couldn't find any threads with results. I also found a couple instances of people goin...

    Check engine light but no codes?

    I'm not sure actually what code I got, or if I got anything at all. I used a reader at my friend's shop, I think it was from MAC tools? Yes, I did plug it into the one in the engine bay. Should I get the reader from napa/kragens for 30-40 bucks with the wire extension?

    Check engine light but no codes?

    I have a check engine light and I took it to my friend's shop. We tried to pull the codes but nothing came up. Light doesn't always stay on either, I thought it was because I took out the two smaller cats at first, but the O2 sensors are before the cats. I do have a pinging problem sometimes...

    Any clearance issues on tailpipes with a Flowmaster catback and Eibach Pro springs?

    Oops, forgot about this thread. I've got stock sized tires on a 17" wheel in the rear, something's vibrating back there like I thought it would. I think it's just hitting the gas tank cover though, so I'll fix it sometime. Thanks for the help guys!

    Any clearance issues on tailpipes with a Flowmaster catback and Eibach Pro springs?

    I think I have the pro springs on my car since it sits alot lower than other mustangs, and the springs are also black. But when I had the stock catback system on it, it would rattle frequently since the tailpipes were hitting something. I ended up just running dumps, but I'm going to order new...

    Aftermarket wheel studs?

    I found the ARP studs at a local shop, but they said I might have to either cut the extra length off the studs or pick up some lug nuts that let the stud stick through. They had the moroso ones too, but I opted for ARP since you recommended them - what did you do?

    Aftermarket wheel studs?

    I broke 2 wheel studs recently in the front, one on each side. I think it was a combination of wheel spacers and overtightening on the lugs, so I'd like to pick up some aftermarket ones that are stronger. I'm not running too thick of a spacer, they're less than a half inch thick. Only reason...

    Fresh clutch, 600 miles later and disengage/engage problems

    The quadrant is the metal Ford Motorsports piece... as far as I see, there's no teeth on it like the stock plastic one. I don't know how else to describe it though? Anyhow, I had my friend help me replace it, adjusted it to the right place, and all is well again!! Thanks so much guys.

    Fresh clutch, 600 miles later and disengage/engage problems

    Bought the ford motorsports adjustable cable and quadrant for 89 bucks at the dealership. The guy also told me there's a ball stud in the bell housing that might need changing? I bought it anyway since it was only 15 bucks. Probably do the cable first and see how that works out.
