    F-cam vs Comp xe270hr-14

    Well if you run the 1.6 rockers (which will have very little to do with PTV cleareance issues) the comp grind is .512 lift. The .544 is with 1.7's. That said the comp grind should provide you a better idle quality as it has -7 overlap at .050 compared to the -1 of the FMS cam. The comp cam...

    Twisted Wedge from Trick Flow

    That kit is a great deal as long as you're not expecting to grow too much. The biggest part of the kit are the heads and at 170cc's they are pretty much maxed out on a 302 IMO. Even though a TW 170cc head is "bigger" than a standard in-line 170 you're still only looking at a bit over 400 HP...

    Timing Issues

    It is very likely the balancer has spun. The outer ring is separate from the hub. With age the elastomer holding the two together deteriorates and allows the ring to spin. The only way to be sure where TDC is is to use a piston stop. You install it in #1 spark plug hole and turn the engine...

    Rear 8.8 axle bushings...which ones

    yes you can. There is really no need to box them especially since you'll be running the rubber bushings. Personally I would not spring for the powdercoating. I like rattle can black paint from ACE hardware.

    Persuade me to stroke my 351w?

    You say TW pistons. What TW heads are you planning to run? You really need to look at how much power you want to make and what type of manners you want to have then pick the head and cubes that will get you there. It does you no good to build a 408 and put a 175 head on it unless you want a...

    Rear 8.8 axle bushings...which ones

    You won't be dissappointed. I installed a set of typical upper and lower arms with the poly bushings and the car was down right dangerous to drive. Snap oversteer is scary stuff. I pulled that stuff out and replaced it with the MM lowers with shperical bushings in the lowers and the ford...

    357 runs like crap!

    I would say the first thing is the converter is too tight. Advancing the cam improved performance because it gave you more low end to help push through the converter after the shift. Your carb is too small. IMO the heads are too small as well but that's me. You don't say what size headers...

    Roller lifter question

    Spring pressures are more telling than cam specs but as all have said you should be fine with the FMS stuff for a while. Don't be surprised if the springs in the lifters wear out though. The bodies are basically the same but the internals of the COMP lifters are better. If you plan on running...

    Water pump casting numbers

    Can't help with the casting numbers but I'm running a reman pump from a F150 on my roller 5.0 block. No problems even in the 100+ Arizona heat.
