    Pros And Cons Of Running Open Offroad H Pipe (No Mufflers)

    I know two people who've ran open H-pipes and they had no valve float what-so-ever..even with stock valve springs all the way to the rev limiter. (6,250). I even ran an open H-pipe for three days one time. Only thing about them its loud as hell. My buddy Kyle's 95 5.0, all he has is Mac headers...

    1st timer

    get yourseld some subframe connectors and some lower rear control arms. Build some traction and then build in some power. You'll be much more happy that way. Anybody can light the tires, true performance comes with traction.

    IDIOT drove my car, question about clutch

    Dude, why are you letting people bash you? I will be 18 in May and i know where your coming from. I don't think you did anything wrong, the dude shouldn't have gotten into your car if he didn't know how to drive it. Just like if you took your engine to a machine shop, are you going to let some...

    5.0 swap

    For all the trouble your going to go through for a 5.0, just go ahead and do a 351 swap. In the end, the work and the cash output is about the same.

    any way to tell a bent DS from an out-of-balance DS??

    one thing to check before you do all that, make sure the bolts that actually hold the driveshaft to your rear end havn't backed out. Happened to me and i though i had mybe knocked a dent in my shaft or something. I jacked it up to remove it and check for dents and my bolts had backed out...

    Ford 9"

    one nice thing about the 9' is that the front carrier sections can be swapped. So if you have one with a 3.73 for nice weeday commute, you can easily have another laying in your garage with a 4.11 or 4.30 for the weekend strip time. :D

    distributor gear is locked up with cam gear

    Try to hand turn the engine back and fourth to see if you can free it up. If you feel to much resistance dont force it, never force anything on an engine. Take the spark plugs out to make it easier to hand turn. As you hand turn it over, have someone gently pull up on the dizzy to see if you can...

    Replacing Floor Pans

    thats nice, all the info on mine is in my sig. Its my dad and mine. Took 7 years and about $45,000. And then his 72 Demon he's had since highschool took another $5,000 on a minor restoration. We just replaced a rear quarter, toe boards and the hood and had it painted baby blue.

    Replacing Floor Pans

    Oh and, just a thought. But if you have rust on your floor pan, check and see where the water is getting into your interior. Look around the door weather stripping, if its dried or cracked, you need to replace it or that water is going to un-do any re-pairs you do perform or just plain mess up...

    Who runs a cast flywheel?

    YOur engine spin up time will probably be quicker due to the lighter weight of the billet flywheel and you more than likely have to have the whole assembly reblanced, not to certain about that though so dont take that for sure.

    Time to start ordering more parts

    Any engine can turn out ****ty if you dont take the time, and use nice parts to assemble them. Some stroker kits are inferior to others. Ask people with experience which ones are the best. and remember the golden rule...you get what you pay for. Buy the best the first time off and you wont have...

    Engine Tech: How to improve efficiency?

    Is hydrogen fuel actually any more efficient than gasoline? Just on a fuel to fuel basis, i know its much much cleaner.

    Engine Tech: How to improve efficiency?

    All that wasted exhaust gas is where a turbo comes in. It turns the wasted energy back into centrifugal power that turns the intake impeller and produces boost.

    Replacing Floor Pans

    Replacing a piece of the floor pan isn't that big of a deal when you can get the patch panels. Im pretty sure there is someplace you can get some patch panels for a mustang. YOu just put the panel up against what you want to replace and trace it with a marker, cut it out and then weld the new...

    Engine Tech: How to improve efficiency?

    I killed a turbo'd RX 8...they're slow as hell, handle really good though. But Yount's right, for a 1.3 thats pretty damn good. But the downside is you have to rev to like 6,500 to get it, rev's for power on the street is no bargain.
