    Is this Oil Pressure OK

    Normal-ish for something with a stock oil pump.

    Is it worth it?

    ...it's in the works. There's a better than 50/50 chance.

    Is it worth it?

    I'm really disappointed. The car is perfect. I made an offer of $10.5k but would probably pay $11.5. He wasn't hearing it. However, I did find out that it's been for sale for 3 months. There were 3 or 4 things about it that prevented me from paying the asking price. 1) it did not have the...

    Is it worth it?

    Looks like I'm going to buy it and keep the Vette too. I use the Vette as a commuter and it really does well. Good on gas and reliable...just expensive to maintain. I'm 35 in case anyone is curious and I've probably owned 50 mustangs since I was 16. I've had them all from 1965 to 2004. I've...

    help with f303 cam!

    Since you just installed a cam I'm wondering if it's the cam is really your problem. Check everything and then check it again.

    Is it worth it?

    I've been driving a C5 Vette for a while and I miss having a Mustang. I'm thinking of buying a totally restored [immaculate] 89 Saleen that has a brand new FMS crate motor and tko 600. It's not built but it is pretty stout and has all the right bolt ons. The original drivetrain is included. Is...

    What do you think?

    ...ya, I'm kind of on the fence with the car. Part of me wants to keep it but there's a good amount of money to be made. I have a lot of toys and I really don't need another. I still have a 92 Coupe, Ex Nevada Highway Patrol, that I need to sell. I literally don't have anywhere local to put...

    Nitrous Anyone?

    Wow. I've used a lot of kits and have argued about this many times. In my [very experienced] opinion this is what I think: Wet = Safer Dry = Better if set up correctly. If you've never used nitrous and plan to do it with out an A/F meter- not your best choice. NX is probably the best...

    5.0 versus 99GT up, Which is better????

    Both cars have there benefits. From a speed stand point there is no comparison. The newer cars are magical with power adders and hook a lot better, but alas, are heavier and slower. If you're strictly looking to go fast the Fox bodies are probably better. They are easier to work on and the stock...

    What do you think?

    The engine is a brand new Mach 1 motor from Gosch Ford in Hemet CA. The engine is being installed by a local shop.....it's part of the deal. Ford told me the warranty would be valid. I saw the shop and met the owner and there is no doubt that they are capable. It's a weird deal for the seller...

    Victor intake is here!

    I had one on a 347 that I ran a while back. It's useless unless you have a lot of cubes or compression and a lot of rpms. It's going to kill power down low and isn't going to make really good power till at least 7k. It's a super high rpm intake. If you are using it properly it is the best IMHO.

    opinions on best intake for a 306

    The Victor 5.0 or a converted Vic Jr. The Victor 5.0 is a true EFI designed air gap. It is the best high rpm efi intake there is. You will need a tremendous amount of cylinder head and cam to make it work.

    Can I reuse head bolts with only 150 miles on them?

    I have to agree. I did this a million times when I was alot younger and didn't know any better. Maybe that's why I had to change so many head gaskets!

    Help with Starter

    his sig says equal legnths. Do they make an equal length long tube? It must look freakish. I have long tubes and the header had to come off to replace the starter. Equal shorties shouldn'r be a problem- assuming that's what he's got.

    Problems with GT to Cobra brake swap

    I recently put Cobra front brakes on a GT. The brakes make a lot of noise....mostly something rattling. I think that it's the pads. I am not using the stock Cobra PBR pads. Rather, I'm using cheapies. Do the pads make that big of a difference? Anything else that I should look for? The brakes...

    Max compression on Pump gas?

    I'm used to crappy 91 octane and even worse gas. California isn't the most friendly state for auto enthusiests. However, I don't think that there is much of an advantage running 11:1 vs 10:1 on pump gas. You will not be able to run a lot of timing with the 11:1 motor and you may very well run...
