    Can someone post a picture of a 90 GT(Black if possible) with Torq Thrust ll

    I know this isn't black, but I'm posting it up so you can save it and maybe get someone to photoshop it in black .... it's all I have and there aren't a lot of fox pics with these rims floating around :(

    MGW shifter owners.. which handle?

    I'm 6'3" and drive my notch with the seat in the fully extended position ... I have the red handle and love it ... The throws are real short compared to a lot of shifters out there ... I don't have to reach at all and I can slam gears with ease. I feel it is short enough, but then I never...

    I keep her in drive (1:1) during city driving ... I only shift to OD when I hit 50+

    Two Questinons

    Try pulling codes from your computer and see what numbers you get ... it could be a number of things that cut it off (excluding Devine Intervention :) ). Could be a lack of fuel (fuel pump,etc) ... could be a lack of spark (module, etc). Pulling the codes will give you direction into finding...

    331 vs 347

    A big factor in turning high r's is keeping the valvetrain operating effectively at higher engine speeds ... a valvetrain that stays in check will keep the bottom end held together better ... floating valves or improper detonation will destroy the rotating assembly. Based on this a 347 and 331...

    Gears?!?

    Yeah I hear ya ... that's why I said "closer to just right". I've also considered maybe 3.27's, but I might miss the extra low end generated by the 73s or 55's too much with the taller geared AOD (comparatively) ... I spend about 75% of my time driving the car about 40-45mph so the 3.55's might...

    Gears?!?

    My street 331 notch has 3.55's and a T5Z My stockish 302 notch has 3.73's w/ an AOD. The 3.55's are perfect for me for all around use ... half my desired driving is on the highway and it's fun sometimes to go for long cruises. The 3.73's are a little too low geared for my tastes, although...

    Well, I'll have to make the drive out to NY so my 331 can put the spank on your 347 :D Joe

    5 speed conversion ?

    The clutch pedal arm is supposed to depress a plunger-activated switch that is tied into your starter circuit. Evidentally yours is not hooked into this circuit.

    Need a heater core in Fla.?

    The heater core swap gets easier the more times you do it :D :nonono: In Washington State, it's definitely needed with all the rain and foggy windows in a daily driver car ... As far as needing it for A/C ... not at all.

    331 vs 347

    Sure, but your 347 with a 5.315 rod will not have as much meat as a 331 with 5.315 rods ... anyhow.

    331 vs 347

    Food for thought: On an 8.2 deck, a 331 gives you more piston "meat".

    400RWHP + 20MPG... How to do it??

    This is actually accurate ... a top-fueler doesn't get 20mpg. Better put would be MAXIMUM performance and MAXIMUM fuel economy cannot coexist. However, you can make trades in certain areas and still achieve your goals. First point to make is that a 400 horse car can be spanked by a 300...
