    Building a 347

    I have seen badly built engines in all displacements. Mostly poor kits followed up with piss poor machining. The type of piston, ring type and use determine how the block should be bored as far as clearances. Hypers are tight, forged are usually much looser. Chris95gt50 Hope we didn't...

    Engine woes..

    Your balancer must match the balance/imbalance of your engine. Most if not all 79+ 302's are 50 oz. Older motors and many stroker kits are 28oz and true performance built engines are internally balanced and use a 0oz imbalance flywheel/balancer. I may be a bit off in the years on the...

    Anrtifreeze smell along w/smoke out of A/C vents?

    yes. To bypass the heather core remove the 2 hoses off the coolant pipes at the back of the manifold that go to the firewall, and get a section of hose to jumper them. I would recommend pulling your capet back and allowing that to dry also.

    Anrtifreeze smell along w/smoke out of A/C vents?

    Yes it would. Classic symptoms of the heater core gone bad. You can bypass it if you until you have time or money to fix it.

    Any ideas for a budget towing/trailer package?

    I would never go to the track w/o a trailer now. I busted the car once a few years back and it was 250 to rollback it home. Do you have a buddy or place you could keep a trailer and tow vehicle together? Just drive to it load up the car and go. I am lucky I can keep mine at my parents. I live...

    best heads/intake combo?

    With the victors you will need to flycut the pistons if your on the stock bottom end. On a stock bottom end you can go max 1.94 on the valve and then not wild on the cam before PTV issues. A set of AFR 165's,custom cam, good intake with good tune should put you well into the 300's.

    Trick Flow Kit on 80,000 mi stock s/b

    I did H/C/I on a 100k +. As long as the motor is healty the motor is good to go. Mine ran like a champ. Really the only reason I pulled my motor was to go stroker. Have seen these motors go 175-200 with proper care and sometimes even without any care.

    need fuel pump suggestions...

    Intank 255 Should support your #'s and 100 shot in the future. Noise would be no more than stock. Ford clains that a 255lph pump at 12v and 40psi will support 700hp. I don't believe the #'s but it will easily support 400 at the tires NA or small shot.

    Updated Dyno Numbers

    I was looking at my old H/C/I Dyno sheet. I too have that dip at the low RPM. Seems like most guys do. Your cam seems pretty flat on the torque but still pretty peaky for TQ @ 4200. I would have. Expected HP to still be climbing and not falling off by 5500. I did some tests in Desktop Dyno...

    Victor 5.0 VS Ported Cobra/Downs Box

    I currently have a ported GT40 and downs box upper. A local guy has a new Victor 5.0 EFI pretty cheap. I will be running a pretty stout combo. Hood clearance is non issue. I made 660 at the back wheels with my current 331, Box stock Victor Jr's, OTS cam, and T-Trim at 17# Look at...

    Victor 5.0 VS Ported Cobra/Downs Box

    Tom, I'll ship it out before weeks end. Just PM me your address again. I know it was still working well at my old power level, but I am going to stage II heads and another 33 CI. The Victor flows about what the box stock Vic Jr's flow...makes sense it being matched.
