    spark plugs for gt40 aluminum heads

    If you have the heads off the car, I highly reccommend, just threading one or two in just to see if it fits....If not, maybe buy one of those Motorcrafts AGSF-32C (they are like $10 for set of 8 at PepBoys) and compare the threads with Autolites or whatever...Cheers :flag:

    ?Aluminum Radiation/Grounding?

    Grrr....danm my dlxyseia.....I totally misinterpreted that one......So, under no circumstances should you connect the rad to the body or engine...would that be like giving the current a superhighway to oxidize the rad....hmmmmmm, however if you detect any current at the rad and can't find the...

    spark plugs for gt40 aluminum heads

    Ok, this may not be helpful, but I have GT-40Ys and I run Motorcraft AGSF-32C, as per Ford Racing catalog. I have actually mocked up different spark plugs, Bosch, Motorcraft AWSFs, Autolites and none of them stuck out into the chamber enough, only the AGSF series did, in fact everytime I tried...

    5.0 Cobra intake swap made my car slower???

    Ok, nothing brilliant to add here, but when I installed my Eddy for the first time (now x3), I used the FMS/Felpro 1262 intake gasket ( :notnice: ) that had these weird ass bolt holes in the middle of coolant ports, which I neglected to trim, and that made my car run a little hotter (like 1 bar...

    ?Aluminum Radiation/Grounding?

    Hi everyone, I have a question concerning the installation of Fluidyne. Yes, it has arrived and yes it looks like this :hail2: . I think I am in love. Anyhow, I read somewhere, I think of all places on the griffin radiators website that one should ground an aluminum radiator to prevent...

    Any gains to be had by switching to an X-pipe?

    Gotta chime in...my MagnaFlow X-Pipe/Borlas sounds like this :hail2: . Almost like a BB with race pipes :p , at the same time on the hwy its quiet as a mouse, but oh so busy soundin'. Btw, when I got my Magnaflow, it was like 370 bucks shipped, its now like 450 :notnice: Cheers.

    Best way to drop the steering rack?

    Subscribing....Not to steal the thread, I have the same question, but is there a way of taking the rack off those steel rods without unbolting the tie rods? Is there any way to change the steering rack bushings while its still on the car? Thanks :flag:

    Intake install question

    Thanks for reply, re: crud, it looks like a combo of sand/dirt and oil and it is everywhere, including the pushrods, spider, surfaces, etc...I have noticed that there are two holes at either end of the block, do these allow for drainage of oil or are they just vent holes? Can I just flush all...

    Intake install question

    Howdy, I have a question concerning an intallation of Edelbrock Performer intake. Mainly, it has to do with the removal of the stock lower intake. When I did it, imagine my surprise, when I saw dirt underneath the intake, in the lifter valley and in the "spider?" that holds the lifters...

    Intake Manifold Gasket

    Thanks for the replies guys :nice: Is the FMS-M9439B302 same as FelPro 1250? It states in the Motorsport catalog that their gaskets are made by FelPro, and this is the correct one to use with street aftermarket intakes, thanks for your repliexs :D

    Fuel Pressure for (mostly) stock 5.0

    Thanks, zang, instant reply, now I feel special :nice: The reason why I asked the question in the first place was that I have heard that MAF(89-95) 5.0 come from the factory with a mixture that is a little too rich,hence one of the reasons that they don't quite run as well as the SD car...

    Fuel Pressure for (mostly) stock 5.0

    Sup, nubee here. However, long time lurker and proud 5.0 owner. My main question concerns fuel pressure that a mostly stock w/few bolt on car would need. What is the pressure from the factory? Do stock cars respond better to lower or higher pressure? One last question, what should the...
