    Brake specs?

    What are the details for V6 2005 brakes? Have there been any changes for 2005? I'm interested in rotor diameters and thickness, number of pistons, and any other useful trivia. I believe in previous years the V6 and GT shared brake components, is this still the case? Thanks guys! :cheers:

    I'll sit this one out. Hopefully one of the turbo gurus will stop by. :cheers:

    Motorsport sparkplug wires

    As another option, you could take them off and inspect them visually and with an ohmeter. Dr. Jacobs wrote a few pages on wires inspection in his book. FWIW, I've had my FMS wires for....approximately 20,000 miles.

    Any Advantage to Swapping Cams?

    The only thing I did find is that he regrets milling 0.060 over. I think that's plenty enough to keep me satisfied @ 0.040 over regardless of what exact compression it brings. I, too have the DP motor and don't want to go TOOOOO far. Good call :nice: ....am REALLY scared because I have...

    Any Advantage to Swapping Cams?

    What about porting?(both intake and heads) You can do the intake yourself; just need to find an electric drill and a rotary rasp from the hardware store. I wouldn't pay to have it done, there's not much to be gained (see my flowbench data). The cost to port the head will depend on the work...

    Any Advantage to Swapping Cams?

    Wait a sec..... Dude. Pop that head off there your self. It's a piece of cake. Then, don't take it to that guy! ~$150-$200 should cover disassemble, hot-tank, mill, valve job, and reassemble. Another $80 for head bolts and head gasket. Keep telephoning. There are better deals to be...

    Nope. I'm still using my stock rollers.

    Trick Flow Engine Kit Dyno results cont.

    Guys, pardon an interruption, why is there such a large difference in the shape of the torque curves? There's some other factor here I'm not understanding. Ed C.......~265 ft-lbs@3000 Grn92LX..~185 ft-lbs@3000 That's a lot of difference to assign to A/F ratios, especially since 3000 should...

    Any Advantage to Swapping Cams?

    A Dremel would take, well, SEVERAL(12 more... LOL) years. :bang: And even though you can buy the tools, you still need to know where to grind. Coolant passages jacket the ports; go too far and it's wrecked. My advice is to open the Yellow Pages and start talking with the local shops. You...

    Any Advantage to Swapping Cams?

    Nah, like Brian said, do the port work. I was trying to tell you not to worry about this: Follow? (Listen to Brian...help you he can) :yodasmiley:

    Any Advantage to Swapping Cams?

    Yeah, a port & polish is needed, especially on the intake port; the exhaust port flow (exhaust/intake ratio) is pretty good. P&P'ing this head won't alter the low-end torque that you mentioned. At ~100cc, the intake port isn't exactly large to begin with, and you'll hit water before this port...

    Any Advantage to Swapping Cams?

    Yup, that's the one. Wow, your compression's worse than mine. That rebuild should really help you out. I gave up on the intake swap for now. My dyno software really doesn't care how much the intake flows, since the head's intake port is so poor. I punch in 200 CFM for the intake, it doesn't...

    Any Advantage to Swapping Cams?

    93Green, I have the same engine in my Ranger. I'm using RW's #1 roller which is the same as Ford's A237 and Crane's 199501. Here are some dyno pulls so you can see what to expect: http://home.earthlink.net/~touring23/TouringHTMLBench.html Here's a link to a company with a compression...

    Cobra cam and 1.7's

    A statement like that is pretty bold. I'd like to see the data supporting it. FWIW, my Dyno2000 software says the Cobra cam will make equal or more horsepower than some commonly recommended cams, but less torque; I believe the wide LCA is the cause. 270/270 duration, too.

    Any ideas for me and Cobra??

    IMHO, there's no need to spend money on a larger TB and MAF when the stock head and valvetrain are retained, and the Cobra already has U/D pulleys so I wouldn't do that, either. If you retain the stock heads and valvetrain, close the hood; your work there is done. Save your money for gas.

    Any one here Wish they had a Mod Motor?

    For me, it's the same old Ford story: Great engine........in the wrong chassis. Put that 4-cammer in something smaller and I would be interested, a la' the original 289 Shelby Cobra. Notice Shelby didn't choose a Lincoln Continental :rlaugh: (I have the same issue with the Duratech...
