    5.0 badges on a 4.6 stroker?

    Hmm, it's like a lose-lose situation.. People think less of our cars because we don't have a 5.0, but think even less of us if we say we do.. I can think of only one solution.. Stop caring what people think.. :nice: Riley

    5.0 badges on a 4.6 stroker?

    See that's what I'm wondering.. I mean I get asked *all the time* "You got a 5.0 in there?".. Now that I do (or will shortly) have a "302" I know that if I say "yes" to that question people will say I'm full of it.. Or if I had the 5.0 badges then some jerk would rip them off and trash my...

    I chose a new engine...opinions?

    It sounds like it's a done deal already, but just FYI VT engines is in Lansing, MI. I was just there this weekend dropping off my 4.6 longblock to be rebuilt and forged.. It was only a 2.75 hr trip from Olmsted.... Riley

    Heater hose question...

    I believe the hard line going to the front of the engine is the return line. It goes to the water pump. So... back of the head ---> heater core IN -----> heater core OUT ----> hard line to front.. So, you have HOT coolant from the back of the head going into your heater core, then it...

    2000 GT Start Problems!!

    Either the solenoid or the starter has a dead spot.. If you don't have longtubes you should be able to whack the starter with a block of wood and a hammer.. I know on older vehicles you used to be able to bypass the solenoid with a screwdriver, but I don't think you can do that anymore.. :P...

    Cooling System Problem..............

    Well, now that doesn't sound normal.. First, double-check the connection on your coolant temp sensor. Make sure it's not shorting out or anything.. Second, I would try and find a way to see if your car is *actually* running that hot. See if you can get one of those IR digital thermometers...

    Cooling System Problem..............

    My car has always been in the middle of the gauge. It's been like that for 60,000 miles.. I think it's normal.. Riley

    Identify this engine, 5.4 or 4.6?

    Grab a coat hanger and unwind it.. Bring #1 to TDC and stick the coat hanger in the spark plug hole.. Rotate the engine and measure how far the coat hanger goes down before it starts going back up.. 4.1" == 5.4 3.5" == 4.6 Riley

    Panhard bar, worth the money?

    In regards to suspension binding and the UCAs..... The other option is to go with an EVM tri-link. It eliminates the two angled UCAs with a single UCA that is perpendicular with the rear axle. It requires reinforcing the rear-seat area and from what I've read it works, but introduces a lot of...

    I'm going to try and move it more in the middle tomorrow and re-distribute the weight.. Lol.. It was great.. After I got the engine in I couldn't get the cherry picker back out.. The car was resting on the front legs.. :rlaugh: Riley

    Checked the load rating on the door... Maximum = Paggengers + Load = 875lb.. I'm guessing the engine is ~400.. I'm 200(ish).. So good to go!! Riley

    Cams, easy HP?

    Blower cams (from what I remember) have no valve overlap. This keeps the boost from leaking out the exhaust. If you have overlap in a blown application then this provides a path for the boost to go right out the exhaust.. So, you will be keeping more of the intake charge in your cylinders...

    Will it fit??? - VOTE!!

    I would borrow a pickup, but it's a 3.5hr trip and I think that might be asking a little much.. Besides.. It'll fit.. :nice:

    supercharger and seafoam

    I don't know about your roots blower, but I know Kenne Bell says you can run fuel through their blowers. I guess it would come down to whether or not the rotors are coated? Riley
