    *PICS* My 331 stroker

    When I built my TFS 331 I went with a 7qt Canton Oil Pan. Part #15-620S. I purchased a kit with the pan, pickup, main girdle w/longer ARP hardware, windage tray and dipstick off ebay. Pan and everything fit very well with the only thing that I needed to do was to grind a bit of material off...

    Trick Flow Oil Filler Kit....

    I went to Home Depot and bought a 1" hole saw with a pilot bit for use with metal not wood. I believe the hole should be more like 1 1/8" but I couldn't get that size hole saw. I drilled a hole in the valve cover mocking up where I wanted the hole prior to drilling. A 1" hole is too small...

    Pics of my 331 Trickflow build....

    That motor looks great. I too hope it can be kept that clean while in the car. What probe pistons did you use?

    Tips for removing 5.0 engine

    I know many have said nuts and bolts should be placed in labeled bags, which is a great idea. When I did mine I put the bolts and nuts in the location where they came from. For instance, thread the 4 bolts that hold the hood to its hinge back into the hood after it is off the car. This will...

    getting an MSD 6AL

    I was told by many that our cars have pretty good ignition systems from the factory. I asked the same question to a crane rep about their boxes a while back and he told me that I wouldn't feel much of a difference with my 331 combo. Unless you have a blown or sprayed combo i don't believe they...

    track heat heads

    You will need to measure for correct length pushrods. TFS require longer pushrods. I needed 6.75" pushrods. As far as P/V clearance, always check.

    Injectors and MAF for 94 cobra 331

    I have not thought about doing a eec swap. I am most likely going to get a chip burned when the time comes. This morning i had a heck of a time starting it up after it sat for a week. It would start no problem but keeping it running...It would stall a few times before it would get a tad bit...

    What tuning device should I use for self tuning?

    Injectors and MAF for 94 cobra 331

    I know what you are saying about the injectors. I would have thought to go bigger than 24's but I trust him. Maybe the only way I can get away with 24s is because of the Ecam? Self tuning would be great because then I would learn a whole lof of various pcm parameters that I do not know now...

    Injectors and MAF for 94 cobra 331

    Well I spoke to the tuner last night for a while and he gave me some good pointers. He recommended that I go with a PMAS 80mm MAF and a AFM powerpipe. I asked him about the size injectors and he said that 24s are fine for a non-blown application. I trust this guys judgement as he has a wealth...

    having a hell of a time finding a good short/long block...can anyone help

    Have you taken a look at P.A.W. (Performance Automotive Warehouse)? They usually have some decent shortblocks with forged pistons. You can mix and match a lot of different parts with them too. Unfortunetly they do not have an online catalog for your viewing pleasure but their catalog is huge...

    Injectors and MAF for 94 cobra 331

    I am going to call the tuner tomorrow to see what he recommends I do. In a perfect world I would have done a MUCH different combo but that is what I had readily available and was pretty much within budget. Thanks again guys, John

    Injectors and MAF for 94 cobra 331

    no poweradders...ok 30's and LMAF with tune! Sounds great. Is it worth hanging onto a stock cobra upper and lower. and gt40 heads??? I could sell those and probably get the injectors and maf with the $$$$.

    Injectors and MAF for 94 cobra 331

    Grady, Thanks for the post. Will definitely be going for a pro tune. I do still have to talk to the guy a buddy of mine knows who tunes these things. Bigger MAF, bigger injectors are a must. Would you say to go bigger than 30s? Who makes 36lbers?

    Injectors and MAF for 94 cobra 331

    you are right on the money spent on my motor so the tune is the next thing on the list. I would like to get the most power i can out of my setup. I need to talk to the tuner and see what he suggests I do.

    Injectors and MAF for 94 cobra 331

    That is what i thought. The cobra computer was setup for a specific size injector not the MAF. I will most likely buy some 30's and a lightning MAF when I talk to the guy who I want to tune it. Thanks for your help.

    Injectors and MAF for 94 cobra 331

    Since I put a 331 in my cobra I have retained the stock MAF w/24 lb injectors. I have posted to see what people think about going with 30 lb injectors and proper MAF. For cobra's, is it still the same concept of getting a MAF that is calibrated to the specific size injector? I wasn't sure if...

    looking for video or audio clip of e303,or f303 cam?

    Here is a link to my 331 w/TW heads and trackheat upper. E-cam with 1.7s. I like it. Its not too loud or lopey but you can tell that is not a stock cam. http://s107.photobucket.com/albums/m293/blkcobra50/?action=view&current=E-cam.flv
