    Changing Ball Joints and Bushings in Front Arms?

    A few years back, but I dropped mine off at the local NAPA machine shop. For $50, I had them press out the bushings and ball joints, then media blast them, and then press in new delrin-aluminum bushings and Steeda ball joints. Dropped them off one day, picked them up the next. I took them...

    TwEECer vs. Chip

    Computer tuning devices such as the TwEECer and AFM PMS are nice tools, however, they are best utilized if you have some good feedback via a highly responsive wide-band O2 sensor and dyno. It cost me about $650 for my tuning and reprogramming. So, for me, it worked out well just to have a...

    Got FTI combo'd car started finally... simple questions inside also...

    Call up AFR to get the correct header gaskets to fit your exhaust ports. In fact, you can order from them. The overflow tank, you can order from Jegs or Summit as they have a wide assortment to choose from. The fan wires, I'd just call up the company and see if they can help you out...

    NOS OR HEADS?

    Heads. Yea...definitely heads. Power on tap all the time. Sorry, but stock heads suck @$$, even many modified ones. AFRs will be just the ticket.

    Ran a Dodge Viper GTS...

    A stock Viper GTS is a sports car and not designed for off-the-line performance. In a real race on a real road course, they are quick and reliable performers. From there, it's up to the driver. Modified Mustangs, Camaros, and so on, if built right will hand a stock Viper GTS a good...

    Why dont people use Tremecs with 429/460's?

    click onto www.bigblockfox.com and ask the folks who have already done the work. Are there bellhousing issues? Input shaft issues? Come to think of it, I haven't seen any 6-speeds either. :shrug:

    Aluminum OR brass FOR COOLING?

    Assuming your 3-core brass radiator is in good shape (fins not damaged, no deposits on the inside) it should be adequate for all but the most demanding engines. There are several other variables that influence coolant temps. such as: 1. Pump function/condition 2. Coolant mix (%distilled...

    Do 5.0 fuel pumps vary speed by voltage?

    Two ways that you can approach this. One, use a Kenne-Bell "Boost-a-Pump" that increases fuel pump voltage. Two, use a Jacob's Electronics "Accu-volt" voltage regulator for your pump...there are two models, a 14v and a 16v. I'm running a 14v unit wired up for my ignition, computer, and fuel pump.

    I need advice on control arms.

    You don't NEED adjustable spring perches, although they are nice to have. If you are really going to convert to a coil-over system, then you might want different control arms at that time, anyhow. Just curious, but how in the world are you damaging your driveshaft and what does it have to do...

    Tore vacuum hose?...on upper intake...where can I get a new one...part number?

    Most auto parts stores will have that hose on a roll. Just cut off how much you need. Just bring in your old hose and they can match it up for you. :)

    How much power to expect from Pro-M 75mm Bullit?

    If you are replacing the stock 55mm meter, then you may experience a little more on the top end, but typically, you don't feel much with general daily driving. Your heads are the real bottleneck in the system. It doesn't matter what kind of intake and exhaust mods you have if the heads are the...

    BEST LAPTOP TUNING SOFTWARE

    It helps quite a bit being a featherweight (2700lbs) and with the suspension mods I have. I haven't used the products...considered it, but I'm not a drag racer that has to compensate and tweak in response to track and atmospheric conditions. I simply had my tuner burn a custom chip as I...

    8.6MPG, SWEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!

    :D :nice: "Pleasantly violent"...Can I use that quote? I love the "snap, crackle, pop" of a hot naturally aspirated engine. Of course, I love the screaming turbo of some of those Pro-5.0 & SSO cars, too. Oh heck, I love 'em all. Glad to hear you've got the beast in good running form...

    Is the 10.0 L Boss engine possible?

    http://www.streetclassics.com/mustangs/boss1.htm The 1994 car has a 605cid engine based upon a SVO 429 block. Yes, it is very possible if you have the money. The V10 DOHC engine used in SVT's Boss 351 appears to be a one-off...

    Rear End Swap?

    I may be wrong, but I think the T-bird rear is a different width. I think this would be a very popular swap otherwise. I believe that if there is any way to perform a "simple" rearend swap, it must be from similar generation Mustangs. If you are good with a metal band saw, plasma cutter, and...

    Anyone running AFR 205's?

    I agree with HO Train. I think you may be pleasantly suprised with your combo, especially if you have AFR and Ed Curtis on your side. :nice: My little 306 is using 30# injectors at around 38 psi when fully warmed up. I should think with nearly 400 cid and AFR 205's, your combo would benefit...
