    Asking for advice on specific heads

    those are almost exactly what i have in my capri. same size valves similar combustion chamber(66 heads) opened up exhaust ports with some work in the bowls. took my 302 in a stock chassis capri mid 13 in the quarter with an e303 cam in it. actually a very good buy

    Asking for advice on specific heads

    stock heads will handle that cam just fine. just get some better valve springs.

    timing chain vs timing gear drive

    gears hold a time better than a chain, it dont stretch. also it helps with harmonics. muffler bearings!?!?! :scratch: :scratch: http://www.mufflerbearings.com/

    Help me FINISH my first engine!!!

    accesory bolts in the head will change from 3/8 to 7/16. you can use your existing timing chain cover and pump if going v-belt(so much simpler). heres another kicker(if you have the one piece fuel pump eccentric) either use the short cam gear dowel pin with newer timing chain set with 2 piece...

    could I use a master cylinder from 91 ranger on 66 with disc brakes

    i used a metro m/c booster in my 62 falcon other than drilling 2 awkward holes not too hard to put in. be aware that brakes feel sorta funny with this. it takes almost no effort to lock up the tires and uses about 3/4 of pedal stroke to do it.but after you get used to it it is quite nice. iv'e...

    The SN65 project car

    IMO 20 inch aluminum wheels only look good on a Kenworth or a freightliner. yes your right about avoiding era trends. look at the "hot" rims from a decade ago now they are fugly and stock rims on the same car look more acceptable. the key here is something simple, 5 spoke wheels have always...

    sound clips ?

    hey gonzo heard your clip, lots of lifter noise thought you had a solid cam. went to your website and noticed on the mustang-low you did have hydrolic lifters, and you were missing the soft plug in the rear of the galley next to the end gaskets seating area. tis wll cause a loss of oil to the...

    Fixing someone elses bad body work.

    if metal woking skills are lacking, use a fiberglass or kitty hair to do the mass buildup. but i strongly suggest popping the metal out closer to where its supposed to be. generally a 1/4 inch of bondo is too much and cracks more easily

    F303 cam

    hey don't confuse the guy arithmitic works too. well the ratio means you get 1.7 times lobe lift to the valve. and cam valve lift is generally specified considering the stock rocker ratio. just to set things straight 1.5 is sbc, sbf is 1.6 stock except clevland 1.71. just to comfirm your...

    Drivetrain efficiency

    the reason(or my understanding) of the 8.8 being more efficient than a 9 is that the center line on the 8.8 pinion is closer to center on the ring than the nine. assuming a ring gear is center on pinoin the gears would be straight cut, and the olny friction would be gear teath entering another...
