    new 347 problems, just finished it, STRESSED OUT! advice needed

    yeah i agree with mike on the stock fan clutch. although you didn't say anything about the water pump so that could also be it. however, the easiest thing it could be was like timmy said, maybe you didn't burp the system and it is only low on coolant. are you checking it hot or cold?

    oil level sensor

    so what we are talking about here is only the sensor wire to make the light come on when the oil gets low? or is it the sensor that makes the oil level go up and down?? the reason I ask is because I too have a black wire hanging down there but my oil pressure gauge works.

    Truck lower the same as systemmax

    my buddy runs a truck lower and he says it is the same. I would venture to say yes because that is what I always heard too.

    So I bought a 93 Cobra, now it fixing time!!

    congrats on the new cobra! looks and sounds pretty sweet. Cool that you are prepared to go thru it and redo the engine soon, as it can only help to make it more reliable. no sense in waiting until something breaks. if you have the cash now, it is definitely a good thing. I also agree...

    how much power?

    :shrug: ok back to the question. 30's will be good with the stroker. 24's will be ok the way you have it now but honestly, when you do what is recommended and run afr's or tfs heads and (I personally would) go with the stage 3 or a custom cam (if funds permit I would do the custom) then...

    more boost on higher compression

    you definitely don't want more compression. for blowers/turbo you want 9:1 some use 9.5:1 but between 8:1-9:1 is optimal. nitrous is where you would want higher compression. you should be good with swapping out your pulley for more boost. go into the power adder section and read up in...

    95 or 130 amp alternator?

    go find a junk yard in your area that will give you some kind of warranty (mine gave me a 91 day warranty), get a 2000 up v6 alternator and the plug and you will be set. 2000 up v6 alt. are the same 130 amp alt that were used on 94-95 gt's and mine only cost me 40.00

    which injectors for my application?

    EDIT I just reread your post and saw that it was mostly a stock engine except for the intake and heads and rockers, so I think that the 30's would probably be fine. If you have to use an FMU later then it won't be a problem. if you already had a built motor with all the fixins then I would say...

    Best Aluminum cylinder head/Intake combo

    afr heads and tfs intake wouldnt be a bad thing, but I think that the holley intake or the RPM II intake would probably be the best on some afr 185's. either way you can't go wrong.

    Which intake would you recommend?

    actually the 331 will be chocked up by the gt40 lower. I have the cobra intake which has the same gt40 lower and mine is ported and still holding back my numbers. If you can get the gt40 intake relatively cheap then ok, but it isn't that much better to justify the price difference when you...
