    afr users, what happened?????

    I don't believe you have to prime the lifters. Here's the way i Adjusted my rocker arms. I tigthend them down by hand (with lifters in the down position) until I saw the pushrods (stock lenght) start to go down, or preload the lifters. Then I turned them another 1/2 a turn, then locked them. Car...

    afr users, what happened?????

    I have a 91 with stock short block and running stud mount afr 165's with 58cc chambers, along with tfs 1.7 RR's, and tfs stage 1 cam with no clearance problems. I cant see you have any clearance issues inless its an 86 or the valvetrain is not adjusted correctly.

    400m v8.......cheap mild mods????

    If it has high miles id rebuild it. I would do cam and intake aswell as carb, I think edelbrock sells a power package through summit thats pretty cheap. Some headers and good flowing mufflers will also help. I think Hedman sells longtubes for your application.

    Will 1.7 rockers work

    Im doing a build up on the stock shortblock and just got a set of new tfs 1.7 3/8 stud rockers for free from a friend. I was wondering if there is a chance that I can use these instead of the 1.6's I was going to get. I was told that I most likely would not have enough piston to valve clearence...

    big controversy AOD OR MANUAL

    I have a 91 notch with a built aod with manual v/b, non-lockup, and 2600 stall and I also have a 87 gt with a 5-speed. I personaly like the aod alot better. I can just be cruising and punch it and feel the converter hit and it just takes off. I ran a full sec faster then the stock aod and always...

    AOD to C4 Swap Questions

    I would just go with a built aod with a manual v/b and get rid of the lock-up. I got mine from www.sr7performance.com and it can handle around 800hp for less then 2g. then throw a 10inch converter in there and it'll fell like a totally different tranny. But if your set on the c4 i would also...

    AFR 165 and 185 difference

    Just wondering if there are any differences between the 165's and 185's, besides the 2.02 intake valve? Can a 2.02 valve be put in the 165? Some one told me that the 185's have more growing room 165's, is this true?

    AFR 185's on stock short block.

    Im in the market for a set of heads and found some AFR 185's with 61cc chambers for a killer deal. My problem is I have always heard that the pistons have to be clearenced with the 2.02 valve except with the Trickflows . Today I had two seperate people tell me they would work with a lower lift...

    This combo seem good?

    Should I be worried about pulling down low? My converter can stall up to 3000 rpm and my brother who works for a performance tranny shop said he can hook me up with a trans brake after the H/C/I swap. Also can I reuse my stock lifters?

    This combo seem good?

    Car is only driven on the weekends and taken to the strip. I'm considering this combo because it is in my price range. I would like it to run in the 12's in the 1/4. I already have installed jba cat4wards, off road h-pipe, catback, built AOD with 2800 stall and manual v/b, steeda rear control...

    Won't idle after new motor mounts.

    I had already checked them and didn't see anything disconnected but just rechecked and one of the lines under the intake came off. Since I can't reach it i'll just have to take the upper off. Thanks for the advice.
