    E7 heads with stock springs, e,f,b,x cams?

    Maybe you didn't but you should have and I am surprised you are not experiencing valve float with a B cam!!

    Cobra Head Casting Numbers

    thanks for the info I didnt know the Cobra used FMS Iron GT40 heads cause I knew they used Cobra intake and not GT40's although the bottoms are probably the same.

    If 10 degrees BTDC is standard timing, what is advance?

    My street Stang works best at about 14* without spout on Calif 91 octane gas. I get summer pinging (above about 90*) at anything above 14* and I am too lazy to have a summer and winter tune. At 10* it feels down right slugish!!

    E7 heads with stock springs, e,f,b,x cams?

    The stock cam is OK if yu are not going to port or replace the stock heads. 1.7 cobra rockers is not a bad idea but you will still need to get new springs unless these are almost new!!

    sd friendly cam for explorer combo?

    I agree the alphabet cams from FMS suck and that is why I almost decided on the stock cam for my SD engine.

    Thinking of swapping out spec stg 3 for Centerforce DF... Need advice

    I am not sure that a CF Dual Friction will slip a lot either. I know their stock clutch is great for the street but not for drag radials. If you want to drive with drag radials you may have to deal with non slip clutches or replace the clutch real often.

    lift/emissions

    It is my understanding that going to a 1.7 RR will effect mostly lift not duration and should pass emissions pretty easy if you have high output cats. I am not sure that the E cam is your best bet though. I am going to use my stock cam and Cobra RR from Crane with new balve spings. I think...

    injector question

    For one thing it will have plenty of flow for your engine as it now is, and it wont be soft at the bottom end that the bigger TB just might be. With your mods the top end wont make up for the soft low end.

    Convertable door problem

    Agreed my 87 has the gap problem along with the fact the power lifter gears are striped. The window has either come out of its track or it needs to be helped a little as the mechanism does get slightly tweaked with age. IMHO the design is a little faulty as far as making a good seal. Such a...

    Need a few performance parts suggestions.

    I too think the TB and injectors suggested here are too big for a bolt on dailey driver. Use an adjustable regulator and dial in 19 lbs injectors and a 65 mm TB should do the job nicely. Might, want to try 1.7 Cobra RR for a little boost if your E cam seems flat. I like JBA headers with...

    how short will first gear be??

    Michael makes good sense to me and I think I have the right speedo gear in for the 3.73 gears. BTW I use to test the speedo for my Dad just like you said of course that was in 1952. In Cali those mile posts are still on the blueprints but a lot have been lost on the highways.

    Buying a car with salvage title

    I feel the same way for my ragtop as you do for the notch. I have put much more money into my stang than I can ever get on resale but it dont matter. I get so much more out of it then I could ever put into it. Sure I could buy a really nice stang for about half the money I put into mine but...
