    Help with Parking Brake Handle! Please!!!

    I think the shaft only has a slot for the pin on one side. So I think it would be difficult to drill through the plastic handle, the metal liner of the handle, and the metal of the shaft on the other side? I wonder if I could just try to drive the pin in further and maybe be able to slide the...

    Help with Parking Brake Handle! Please!!!

    I bought a replacement handle to install since the old one was looking pretty ratty. I thought this would be a simple swap, but I can not get that little pin out of the oem handle to pull the dang thing loose. I tried drilling it out, but the darn pin must be made of titanium, lol! Maybe I am...

    Need help choosing cam?

    I did so more work on Competion Cams Cam program and I think that XE270hr would be a great cam. I picked up a book with some dyno tests in it, and there was a dyno with a stock bottom end 302 at .030 over yielding 306 cu in with the XE264 torque cam, GT-40P heads, Edelbrock air gap intake, and...

    What would it take to run 12.8xx?

    I appreciate the info. The car will be 99% street driven, but I would like to be able to run it down the strip occassionally

    What would it take to run 12.8xx?

    I didn't know that. You said you are using some modified tri-y's? how bad was that? I know a guy that actually builds headers, but I'm thinking if I could start with something close he could work them for me fairly easily. I really just want to use a cheap, painted set of long tubes like hookers...

    What would it take to run 12.8xx?

    Good info! I was just thinking of using the FRPP headers that they say are designed to fit with the P heads for shortys. I thought most longtubes would fit anyways?

    Need help choosing cam?

    Anderson Ford Motorsport recommended the AF-B31, they also estimated rwhp between 250 and 280 with the parts I mentioned. I am going to give comp cams a call also.

    What would it take to run 12.8xx?

    You have a pretty nice combo there, best of the best. I bet you could squeeze a lot more out of the quarter if that was the desire. I'm getting ready to build my motor and I'm just trying to get some first hand experience of combo's that have worked well. This will primarily be a street car...

    Worst mistake - Crankshaft dropped from 1½' on the cement

    Something similiar happened to me once, and the consensus was basically that the steel parts are so much harder than today's concrete that you are much more likely to damage your floor than the part. Obviously we should try to avoid such mishaps, but I think things like this happen fairly often.

    What would it take to run 12.8xx?

    I was wondering about how much rwhp you think would be necessary to propel a 66' coupe into the 12's. I have just some rough numbers to go off of like ~2800 lb curb weight (I could be way off on this), and I'm thinking about 300rwhp??? Maybe someone can chime in with their successful combo's...

    5.0 or 4.6 in an 80's Mustang

    The 4.6 will cost significantly more to build! Parts for the 5.0 are so pletiful and cheap it gets my vote. I've been down the 4.6 road before, and it drains your checkbook quick. You just need to compare the basic cost of real speed parts like cams, heads, and intakes, & headers. Plus it would...

    Need help choosing cam?

    I appreciate the explanation on the cam specs, I missed that previosuly when scrolling down. I will need a cam that will work with the stock 1.6 rr ratio, or the comp would be very nice. I kind of like the price on the Trick Flow cam too, it's like $100 bucks or maybe a little more cheaper than...

    Need help choosing cam?

    That particular comp cams says it is to be used with 1.7 ratio roller rockers. The set of heads I am getting comes with a real nice set of crane 1.6 rr's already installed. I'm thinking that trickflow cam might be a really good choice. It has a little extra duration on the exhaust side and also...

    Need help choosing cam?

    I downloaded Comp's "Cam Simulator" and put in the flow numbers for the GT-40P heads and with the XE270HR it says a stock bottom end 302 with dual plane intake and 600cfm carb would make 335hp @5500rpm and 375 ft. lbs. tq. @ 4000rpm this is with long-tube headers. This is about where I thought...
