    Ford H.D. Clutch or King Cobra kit?

    Interesting comments. I'm using the Upgraded KC with a full ceramic disc (600Hp rated), and it's been holding up just fine to my 347 W/N20. Thing grips plenty hard, yet light pedal pressure. Prior to this one I had the HD which lasted 70k miles. not too shabby I guess, but just didn't like the...

    possible to stroke a speed density motor?

    Yes, if you have the proper cam, it will run just fine. Yes, the ecu does have preset tables, but as I said, they can be modified some with FP, timing, and with a tweecer or equiv you can do much more to more key area's that really need finer tuning/modifications. I came real close to buying...

    possible to stroke a speed density motor?

    I have a feeling you're referring to me as the retired ford mechanic (on the other site) who say's you can run a stroker with SD. The fact is you CAN. I ran a 347 on SD with heads, intake, cam & all the other goodies as well and the motor ran very well. The key lies in the cam's valve events...

    How far have you pushed a T5-Z?

    My T5z has been thru 2 motors and now on it's 3rd. It lasted 30k on the original motor before rebuilding it up to a 347. lasted approx 25k behind that motor before I tore it down for more upgrades. it's got about 2500 miles behind this new 347 w/N20 and still shift's like a champ, no noises...

    Radar/Laser Detector/Jammer

    I've read & seen plenty of tests on that rocky mountain radar jammer. FYI. A passive jammer is nowhere effective (a joke really) as an "Active' jammer. I had a passive radar jammer (Mirage 2001) and it's worthless just as the RM is. Our last home (In Calif) had rice rockets, hotrods, rip down...

    for those who can't decide 3.55 vs 3.73

    I got talked out of 3.73's a few years back by a local mustang shop. The guy said just about all the street stangs around ran 3.55's. so I went with them (although I went there for 3.73's but got talked out of it :bang: ). Ran the 55's for about 6 months or so and with a fairly mild 302 at the...

    Anyone use a hayden cooling fan?

    HISSIN50, You are right on the money about heat affecting efficiency. 1 thing I have noticed about thermostats is that the all brass Robertshaw's you find in some parts stores are the very same ones as the Mr Gaskets. I had a brass Robertshaw 180 which was only a month old, but wanted to try the...

    Anyone use a hayden cooling fan?

    Dont forget the amount of fin area your fan covers is also very important. I live in west AZ, where ambient temps have been 107-110* for the last 2+ weeks and continues thru this week. My dual 12" fans cover i'd say 95% plus fin area and on high they pull 2400 cfm, yet i've only needed the low...

    what brand tires to buy???

    Running 255/40/17 Kumho's on all 4's. No complaints at all. They grab very well in wet weather and pretty darn good on dry pavement. Can't beat the price either.

    Autometer Mech Water Temp Gauge Question!!

    Does anybody know what size hole is used on Edelbrock's RPM intake for the water temp? I have the Autometer Mech Water temp gauge #4432. The gauge is the Ultralite Series. The intake hole is too small for the fitting supplied with the gauge, so I need to buy the proper fitting/reducer so I...

    Which uses more gas; High throttle at low RPM or low throttle at high RPM?

    Hey bud, it does happen to alot of people. I drove my freshly built 347 from Sacramento to Arizona (an 850 mile trip) and averaged 27mpg. I made stops to top off at 55 miles, 130 miles a few times, 140 miles, 170 miles etc just to be as accurate as I could and each time it always came up between...

    Just switched to Dynomax race bullets, WOW.

    that statement tells me you don't know very much about women IMO. My wife loves loud built V8's. You outa here her own 4x4. Quite loud and she wouldn't have it any other way.. She also does the work herself. Heck, just last night she had an old time friend over (a woman) and grabbed the keys...

    Has anyone ported Edlebrock Performer heads

    Mike, you sure did alot for just 3 days, My hats off to ya :nice: . Glad to see Rick caught that slight mistake, but then we ALL make mistakes, especially when time is not on our side. I think you're making the right decision in holding off. No sense in huffing it at this point. Just enjoy what...

    Has anyone ported Edlebrock Performer heads

    Hey Mike, It's very possible. Did you ask how deep the guy notched them? and how much material is left?. That would really be the pit's to hole a piston :bang: . What is your VTPC now?. I had the pistons in my old 302 notched also, but he cut em just enough to give me .120 on the...

    Has anyone ported Edlebrock Performer heads

    Well said Mike :nice: . Thats exactly what I had done to my Edel heads this last time when I had them in the shop for the machined spring seat cup install. You know the pistons I run, so like you, lift & overlap will never be an issue for me :D Take Care, Scott
