    my car is eating brake fluid

    the wheel cylinders have less than 3000 miles on them, as they are new from when i went to 5lug. but, i will get a buddy to help me check by holding the brakes. but i have a hard time believing with as much fluid loss as i am experiencing, there is nothing wet.

    my car is eating brake fluid

    as much fluid as im leaking, if its a wheel cylinder it would be ****ing all over the drums. its emptied the master cylinder 2.5 times in 1500 miles. there is nothing on the brake system that is wet. im thinking its leaking back into the booster too. but i dont know how to check for it.

    408 W combo?

    with only 3.55's, and only cutting 1.6x's a 12.0 with his power is what i'd expect. if he power shifted, and cut into the low 1.5x's he'd be running 11.6 or better

    '79 351W

    are you positive its a 351W? Most 351s in the late 70's trucks were 351M's and they came backed with big block C6's. That C6 if the truck is a 351W is kind of rare, as its a small block C6. I'd be curious to know which it is

    Part 2 of my 351 build

    john, if you wanna just new pistons you're best bet is, tear the motor down, take the block, pistons, and old piston/rods into a machine shop. have them hang the pistons on the rods, and mic. the block and pistons for clearance. they can tell you what needs done prior to assembly.

    I have a 5.0 out of an 89 mustang(fairly low miles) that we are dropping in a 68. My issue is this, we plan to run carb, and a standard rotation water pump(no serp setup) I have found a 5.0 timing cover with the part #E3AE-6059-CA is the waterpump for this going to be standard rotation?

    surging idle, am i on the right path?

    well, i got to thinking, its throwing EGR codes due to not having one, won't that cause it to go lean(the car leaning itself out to accommodate the EGR, when its not there?)

    surging idle, am i on the right path?

    does it sound normal that with my MAF at certain "clocked position" i lose a ton of power, but regain it with a slight turn of the maf?

    surging idle, am i on the right path?

    the idle issues seems to have cleared up quite a bit, however my father thinks lean on both banks is a vacuum issue... oh the joy
