    Race ready car on ebay look @ this monster

    Chevy guys probably think that any money spent on a mustang would make us all "tools". My brother just bought a yacht....I hate water and boats....would spend $300,000 on something else myself.......I think I'll get him on the phone and call him a tool. That big roots blower is definately...

    Shakira in a Shelby GT500E

    Well the title pretty much explains it. I just saw the video for the song "don't bother". Not a big fan of the song, but OH MY GOD, those who have seen it know what I'm talking about. I couldn't think of a better car for her to writhe around in..lol. Check it out if you havn't seen it.

    not a ford, but hoping for help

    It's a 4.3 vortec motor in an S10 blazer. It is the older style vortec with the tuned port intake and the throttle body facing strait forward.

    not a ford, but hoping for help

    I have a brand X work truck. It has a 4.3 v6. If the thing is cold, it will not start. It is getting spark, and it has 60psi fuel pressure when cranking. If I spray starting fluid on the air cleaner it will stumble to a start and then run beautifully for as long as I want, unless I shut it...

    Victor Jr. setup

    I am building a 351w with Victor Jrs., 12.6 to 1 comp., victor intake, and 750 carb. I was told that this combination is barely enough to utilize these heads in "out of the box" form. I was told that these heads or more for bigger cube, high comp. or boost, high reving small...

    bad whining sound when accelerating

    One of mine used to do that. Sounded like a power steering pump low on fluid, underneith the car..........ended up being the throwout bearing.

    351w under 2" cowl

    :rolleyes: Well, thats a no brainer. My car has new paint and I really dont like the big cowl hoods. I will change my intake selection before I put a bigger hood on it.

    351w under 2" cowl

    If you look at the radiator hose, I looks like it is out of place due to the motor sitting so high.........maybe it's just me

    351w under 2" cowl

    I am doing a 351w swap. I plan on using the convertable mounts that are already in the car for now. I will be using a victor intake and holley carb with no spacer. Will this fit under my 2" cowl or am I gonna have to have a bigger cowl. I have seen pictures of cars with this setup that look...

    Loss of Power

    I thought the check engine light had to be on in order to pull codes........learn something everyday. I had a car do that to once, ended up being a fueling problem, or lack of sufficient fuel pressure.

    High compression, equals?

    more compression makes more power. More compression makes more heat. More heat means your engine will detonate or spark knock easier. I have seen guys build higher compression engines, then crank the timing back so far to run pump gas that it defeated the purpose of the higher compression in...

    Loud Whistling at idle???

    I used to have a GT40 intake that was opened up to 75mm, when I used a stock throttle body it whistled when revs were coming back down to idle. It did not do it with a 75mm TB.

    anybody running Vic Jrs. on a C90E shortblock

    You think I might run into problems running the stockers, even if they clear the valves? In the future I plan to buy a stroker kit for this motor, but for now I just want to get it running for this summer. The initial cost of switching to the windsor, switching to carb setup, fuel system...

    anybody running Vic Jrs. on a C90E shortblock

    I am rebuilding a 351w (C90E), I plan on using my Victor Jr heads with 2.05 intake valves. Wondering if the PTV clearance will be a problem. I'd like to reuse the stock pistons for now.......don't really want to spend the money on new ones now, seeing as how it doesnt need bored and it was an...
