    Crankcase ventilation

    Trick Flow Specialties TFS-51400800 - Trick Flow® Billet Oil Fill Kits - Overview - SummitRacing.com That's the TF oil fill I'm looking at. Did some more research on the PCV w/boost. How about this setup: Turbo Coupe PCV in the passenger side VC going to an oil separator then to intake vacuum...

    Crankcase ventilation

    After reading that it looks like a vented catch can with no PCV is the way to go with boost. Until then, I can use a PCV valve in the valve cover. What about the oil fill tube? Trick flow makes one but I'm. Not sure if it will work with the Ford Racing valve covers... or really all I need is...

    Crankcase ventilation

    So right now I have open breathers, one in each valve cover. I'm getting tired of the oil dripping on my headers, and also it's a pain to remove the breather every time I put oil in the engine. I was looking for an oil fill tube, but I'm not sure what will work with my valve covers...Any...

    5.0 to sohc 5.4 swap

    I just mentioned the boost thing because I couldn't think of a na 5.4 other than the 2000 R. How about this: 2000 R = 5.4L 4V na 385 hp 01 Lighting = 5.4L 2V sc 380 hp 03 Cobra = 4.6L 4V sc 390 hp 10 GT500 = 5.4L 4V sc 540 hp You can see the 2V heads are a huge restriction on the 5.4L...

    5.0 to sohc 5.4 swap

    There are two main problems with the 5.4L, weight and 2V. Look what happens when you add 4V and a blower, easy 500+rwhp. Also the 2000 R had 375hp n/a from a 4V 5.4L. The aluminum block is something like 75-100# lighter, which was good for 3 seconds on a road course in the '11 GT500. The new...

    5.0 to sohc 5.4 swap

    You need aftermarket or ported heads, better intake, and bigger cams. It's the same theory as "302 parts on 351 = 302 power". You can make 300-320rwhp with a 5.4L 2V n/a with the right parts. I think the stock 4.6L intake combined with the small adapter plates to make it fit is what kills the...

    500Hp recipe for stock block

    I would prefer the 302 for weight savings and smaller physical size so you have more room for the turbo kit. But the 351 block should be safe to 600-700rwhp... My opinion.....Good DD but maybe short of 500rwhp 302/306 with forged 9:1cr bottom end Aluminum heads of choice stock cam...

    5.0 to sohc 5.4 swap

    You need a 4.6L k-member and hydroboost swap. Maybe a 4.6 radiator/fan? You'll also need a 4.6L oil pan and pickup tube. The 5.4 is huge, but it'll fit. I've done a 4.6L to 5.4L swap before, it's pretty simple. The 5.4L SOHC is a torque monster with no top end. With VT Stage 1 cams and stock...

    Holy missing piston batman

    Same thing happened to one of my Probe pistons. I'm pretty sure mine was caused by my tune because I had it way lean due to a faulty wideband. I got that fixed, then it broke a few weeks later when I missed a shift and held it on the 6800 rpm rev limiter for a second or two. That was on my 8 or...

    Yep. GoPro HD. My cousin let me use it for one session but I forgot to turn it on :fuss:

    Pics from Nelson Ledges road course

    Yeah he was very fast. That thing weighs about 1100# and has a Honda S2000 engine. :eek: He was passing everybody in B group, the Nissan GTR was passing everybody in A group, and I passed everybody in C group :D. Unfortunately the Caterham (actually a 2006 WCM Ultralite S2K) ended up in the...

    Head Swap Build Thread: And other Improvements

    The AFR's would put you right around 10:1, which is good for about 15-20rwhp over a 9.3:1 CR. The 205's have 2.08" valves where the 185's have 2.02", so it's possible you still could run into piston to valve clearance problems.

    Pics from Nelson Ledges road course

    I went to a fun day there over the weekend(10-10-10). I had a blast and I'm very happy with how the car handled. I turned a best of lap time of 1:20, and I know I could easily pick up a few more seconds. Not too bad for a 2 mile track. :D My rear tire at the end of the...

    Installed Cobra brakes, still can't stop. Going hydroboost

    Hydroboost / SN95 Brake swap / 17x10.5 FR500 rim install with 315 rear tires All you need is a complete hydroboost setup off a 4.6 Mustang. That includes the booster, MC, and 3 power steering lines. One high pressure line goes from the booster to PS pump, another goes from the booster to the...

    Installed Cobra brakes, still can't stop. Going hydroboost

    Brakes held up great at the track. I thought they were pretty good, until I rode with my cousin who has the Brembo Cobra R setup. Much better braking with those. I wish they would clear my rims. :( Anyways, the pedal is still hard with the new MC and hydroboost but if you push on it it will...

    351 Performer RPM intake

    I'm not good at judging engines from pics, but that looks like a 302 block, not a 351. I know the RPM II is not available for the 351 because that was my original choice for an intake.

    Installed Cobra brakes, still can't stop. Going hydroboost

    Well that was a pita, but I can stop now!!! The end I cut off and welded to the new booster gave me all the problems. First it wasn't the right angle so the pedal would stop about 2" off the floor. Then it broke when I put too much pressure on it. After practicing with the welder and going over...

    Installed Cobra brakes, still can't stop. Going hydroboost

    Just one more line to connect and need to tighten all connections. Two modifications that need done; the upper left(next to clutch cable) hole in the firewall for the booster needs drilled out slightly, and the pedals are different so I had to cut the end off the old booster and weld it to the...

    Installed Cobra brakes, still can't stop. Going hydroboost

    Started on the hydroboost install last night. Got the old MC and PS lines removed. The fittings on the hydroboost lines are all the same so everything will bolt right in. It looks like the hardest part is going to be removing the old booster. Almost had it out, then hit on the valve cover...

    Installed Cobra brakes, still can't stop. Going hydroboost

    Great info. :nice: In my searches before buying the brakes I found many people reported the stock MC and Cobra brakes worked fine, and many others that said it was much better with the Cobra MC. I figured I'd try it and buy the MC if I needed it. I just checked and the hydroboost setup I...
