    need advise; power range at about 5000 RPM

    Yep. Those cars will keep rev'ing, but don't make any power. Need more breathing!

    best remanufactured engines

    Yeah, there is a LOT of difference about what different people may want/need. I really enjoy 500 rhwp in my daily driver! And I worry that my B50 block 331 forged stroker may not last when we get the Kenne Bell blowing 12psi through the AFR heads into it!. I have thought about a Dart...

    best remanufactured engines

    PAW is not in the class with a DSS or World Products engine/kit. That 460 World is intriguing, isn't it? I keep thinking about that shortblock set up with a tad bit of boost....

    I've officially decided to go turbo on my 68

    Glad we are having more discussion about turbos and classic mustangs. I just got back from my friend's shop where we are getting back to work on my 66 vert. I have a couple of engines, and a KB 2.2 blower ready...but we are both so stoked about my GTO turbo, that we are still considering...

    Got out bid

    I have a toploader out of my '66...not sure what other parts you may need to go along...I've been SLOWLY getting the TKO600/Lakewood bellhousing, etc setup.

    306EFI/Novi1000 dyno curves

    Very nice numbers for the 'little' Novi...then again, your supporting mods are a nice mix. There is a very cheap price available for that blower, too. That provides a great data point for a potential swap! What software/tuner was used to retune your EEC? I will have to cross that path...

    4-link / minitub question about 65 coupe

    Do you have measurements to support that? My R & C front end really doesn't look like an MII either...looks a LOT like the Martz. In order to have longer control arms, you are going to have to move the pivots more to the midline...I am not aware of anyone that has done that. I THINK [but...

    Gauging interest in a turbo kit

    Glad to hear your intent! Need the a/c though, that's for sure... With a log-style manifold, I will be curious to see what kind of HP is possible. As for intercooling, the 'ebay intercoolers' are reasonably priced, if we can find one that would work, and make the plumbing a go. A 351W w/...

    Ugh! DVS restorations just upped their price for the IRS install kit by 300 bucks!!!

    My suggestion: pay attention to what EvM is working on. Years ago I REPEATEDLY contacted DVS when I first heard about their IRS conversion, and never heard a word. Glad they have improved that. It does seem that there is a tendency to do some serious pricing adjustments on products for our...

    How do you like my engine??

    Of course, now you are going to need more brakes!!! BTW, you have pieced-together a nice suspension package. That is the real point of obsessing for me. My 'vert has the R&C Motorsports MII-style conversion, but want a bit different characteristics for my 2+2. OTOH, the MII-style makes ANY...

    roots vs. centrifical blower

    Don't get caught up in the NUMBERS on those graphs; but the general shape is a very accurate representation. Peak torque values will be highest on the turbo, flattest torque curve from the positive displacement. As my project 66 is not operational, I cannot give you an opinion for that...

    How do you like my engine??

    66HertzClone: I like your build...but am curious about changing out the Demon. I certainly realize that efi will give better mileage and a bit better drivability, but at this point in your build, is there really the cost:benefit to make it worthwhile? Or [if I can ask without stepping on your...

    roots vs. centrifical blower

    Actually a KB twin screw likely has better efficiency than a centrifugal. And there is a new generation of rotor design that will be even better. These are NOT roots blowers...call them 'positive displacement' blowers. I get the same question about how much power do you need. I'll...

    4-link / minitub question about 65 coupe

    On my 66 'vert we moved the leafs inward, and I can fit an 11" wide wheel under the stock sheet metal...but it is a good bit of work. It is not for road course handling, though. As to why someone might need that much tire...HORSEPOWER!!! My car will has a 331 stroker, AFR heads, KB blower @...

    A PERFORMANCE sacrilegious swap

    The drag racers like it as it moves the oil pump pickup to the back, and that's where the oil goes under a harsh launch from the line!

    4-link / minitub question about 65 coupe

    Four link is NOT a handling suspension. If you are serious about a road course style of rear suspension, go over to corner-carvers.com, USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION [you will get beaten for asking questions without searching], and see what turns up. That is the place to get into suspension...

    A PERFORMANCE sacrilegious swap

    Wander over to corner-carvers.com and check out Preston's homemade tube frame, twin turbo Mustang race car. That is a marvelous creation...ugly, but a truly purpose-built creature. My goal is a fast track car that is streetable..."a blown 514 stroker in and some big ole slick in the back" is...

    A PERFORMANCE sacrilegious swap

    400 rwhp and under 400lbs of mass??? As what cost? And what if I want 500 rwhp? Not that hard to do w/ a 408, still in the factory aluminum block. The LS1-swap RX7's are sweet!

    A PERFORMANCE sacrilegious swap

    Yeah, I spend a bit of time on LS1Tech.com given my interest in the goat. I have done a search on the hybrid page for classic, vintage, etc...nothing! As has been noted, they are FEROCIOUS when transplanted into an RX7! And I DO agree that Ford should have developed this engine...it...

    Great.....

    Yep...another sign of the continued downfall of America. No absolute right/wrong anymore, everyone has an excuse. I am truly sorry for your damage. I worry about having nice cars for the same reason...and have a '99 Dodge minivan w/ 138k mi on it for runs to walmart! One thought...as long...
