    fuel system help

    Is there any particular reason behind a fuel line swap? If you intend to continue using the stock fill lines from the tank there is very little reason to upgrade your lines. In fact, it can be counterproductive if you go too large. Pressure is a result of velocity and volume. As the volume...

    real excited!

    Mine came with fluid, surprised yours did not. Tremec recommends "GM synchromesh part # 12345349, or Dexron III / Mercon Spec ATF fluid for all TKO transmissions ." Proper fill level is achieved when oil reaches the fill plughole when level (approximately 5.28 pints). Shifting is solid. Some...

    Fuel pressure gauge

    Depends on your system. I assume you're still running stock so the best location is off the Schroeder valve as stated above. The ideal location would be off of an aftermarket pressure regulator. If you run fuel lines into your cabin you'll want to make damn sure that you have securely...

    Check Earls. That's what I used for my system.

    :stupid: Yeah I don't know what I was thinking when I typed that up. I stand corrected.

    Timing Sprocket??

    I've seen double and single. As long as the chain fits the new sprocket and there is no excessive play you'll be just fine.

    how much fuel pressure do i need?

    Unless you have an aftermarket fuel system the fuel will never be recycled back into the tank. OEM applications use a closed fuel system. I would recommend 43.5 psi.

    Fuel Injector upgrade..yes or no?

    The 36# injectors will be running at approximately 76% if you are producing your high estimate of power and will allow expansion to about 520hp@90% which is easily acceptable. If you still exceed the 520 horses at a later date you can simply increase your fuel pressure to 50 psi and see over...

    Fuel Injector upgrade..yes or no?

    Well, it really just depends on what brand you choose and how much you are willing to spend. Generally, the larger injectors are more money. Here's a general outlook of popular injector sizes with their output @ 80%: 34# - 435hp 36# - 461hp 40# - 512hp 42# - 538hp I would recommend the 36#...

    Fuel Injector upgrade..yes or no?

    The biggest factor will be expected power output. What do you estimate your max output will be at the crank?

    Fuel Injector upgrade..yes or no?

    The fuel system seems to be the most misunderstood portion of a performance car and is usually way overkill, second only to the ignition system. The power potential of an injector depends on numerous factors. The most important factors you need to worry about are fuel pressure and duty...

    Aeromotive Fuel Pump Noise

    My car has been sitting for a LONG time and I don't remember the fuel pump being this noisy. Does anyone else have the Aeromotive Eliminator pump (or similar)? Is it usually crazy noisy?

    Question about 351's....I want to shank the search function..

    I didn't see anyone answer your very first question so I'll do that for you now: The easiest way to identify a Windsor vs. Cleveland is the heads. The Cleveland has big-block heads whereas the Windsor has small-block heads. So count the valve cover bolts; six means you have a Windsor, eight...

    Let's talk Oil and etc....

    From all the research I have done, 3000 mile oil changes are a waste of money. Oil does not break down in 3000 miles, it gets dirty. If you really feel that you must change something, change the filter and top it off every 3k. I usually go 7 - 8k between changes and a filter every 3.5k or so...

    Running 2 wideband O2 sensors

    Just a little more detail to my above info :) There is all the difference in the world between data-logging and real-time tuning. Hence, if all you are doing is tweaking your engine there is no need for two. :notnice: If, on the other hand, you have the necessary equipment which can tune...

    Running 2 wideband O2 sensors

    final5-0 has the best setup for the price conscience buyer and I would recommend it as well if all you are doing is tweaking your setup. If you install new engine management software and/or systems which require wideband information I would recommend a dual setup. But that's pretty much the...

    Voltage issur

    Sounds like a bad battery. If you are sure that your alternator is charging properly then it would warrant to say your battery is the culprit. Sometimes a battery will get sulfated and cannot accept a proper charge, this may be your case.

    351W Question

    You don't have to do a darned thing to it. If it's a working engine, then don't mess with it! If, in the future you plan on doing some modifications, then you'll need to think about which sort of conversions - if any - you believe are necessary. The 351W is a great conversion engine because...
