    Lower Shock Bolt

    I have no Idea what the difference is, but the papper that came with the shocks said to use factory style torx head bolts. One of my local Ford dealers has a couple in stock, although he said they are obsolete, so if the bolts I have now won't fit, I'll just go get the factory ones. From...

    Lower Shock Bolt

    The other day i went to replace my old worn out Monroe shocks (80,000+ miles) with some KYB ones. I noticed that in the box it says that i need to use the stock style torx head bolts and that they would not work with bolts that are used with Monroe/Gabriel shocks. My question is, is this true...

    eBay question.

    If i were you i'd just end the auction and sell it locally if you can get what you want for it. I doubt that the guy from Poland is gonna come and pick it up.

    Where to get a Shortblock

    The only shortblocks summit sells are the motorsport 347's, 351's, and 460's as shortblocks, and i've heard that the motorsport crate motorts arent that great, plus i want to use my own choice of H/C/I. As far as budget is concerned the motor is going to be fairly mild so i really dont want...

    Where to get a Shortblock

    I'm looking to do a mild build, something around 300 hp so nothing special, and was wondering where the best place to get a stock shortblock would be. I thought about rebuilding the old bottom end, but im thinking it would just be easier to buy an assemled short block and go from there.

    Tweecer + FMU question.

    Make sure that if you use the tweecer to change the injector size in the computer that the MAF you have is calibrated for 19#. For example, if you have a c&l meter calibrated for 24# injectors and then use the tweecer to change the injector size in the ECU you will have a big problem, or...

    Fastest Speeding Ticket!!

    I seem to remeber something about you getting into a high speed car chase with some guys who egged someones car. In my book thats way more stupid and irresponsible then getting a speeding ticket on a highway.

    rubber boot onto MGW

    If you do put that other dust boot on their make sure it does not get caught in the shifter stops. From personal experience i can tell you that it can screw your trans up big time just as if the stops werent backed off far enough. I have my lower boot sitting flush with the top of the shifter...

    Time for new mufflers....again

    Whatever you do dont judge the SLP system by the sound clips on the install writeup thats they did on here. IMO it sounds terrible. I have the loudmouth system on my car with a pro-chamber and its very throaty and very load. Its hard to tell from his videos but i'd say it sounds similar to...

    Power rating on 86 5.0

    I beleive the upper intake is more restrictive and the throttle body is smaller in addition to the difference in the heads and pistons.

    rubber boot onto MGW

    The MGW [B]does not[B] require the little boot the was on the stock shifter. The lower boot (the one with the gold braket) cover the top of the shifter. When you opened the box the MGW came in there should have been a small rubber grommet that goes around the bottom part of the handle. The...

    Comp Intake... Too good to be true?

    It would probably work good in conjunction with a blower, but on a mostly stock car it would kill the low end.
