    331/347 stroker

    btw, i realize there are more proper ways of doing this, as in buying the right parts, but is it possible to use the cometic gaskets to adjust/lower compression ratio to safely run forced induction? any input from anyone is appreciated! :shrug:

    Tailpipe Question??

    i second that! i've run several variations and my dumps and 40's were so deep, my cd player would skip and i was high on fumes at stops. sounded ok but tailpipes are more refined sounding.

    331/347 stroker

    just a thought but would it be feasible to run higher compression and have fun and when ready to run forced induction to just swap in some cometic head gaskets since you can choose thickness? i don't know much about those but i thought i read something like that??? just an honest question to...

    331/347 stroker

    yes, 347 are designed better than they used to be and its common now to see 347's as a daily driver. 331 still have a "safer" rod ratio albeit at less power. just so 347 stangers know, i not bashin em. just stating some facts that are worth researching. some 347 kits are designed better than...

    Relay behind pass/side headight?

    331/347 stroker

    the say ratio's with a 331 are better for daily street use. keeps rings from having to be bunched together for control as the 347 pushes the limit cause of stroke. could be worded better but i just woke up. research that tho.

    ah, i see. the air is coming through but at fluctuations basically, so smooth the airflow however possibe so its a steady airflow. check out the intake tube for starters i assume. if that were the case i mean.

    Idle Problems.. new thread for problems

    i'd like to hear D's response too actually. that is something i'm not personally familiar with and it may be helpful to know. it looks like you've covered alot of bases and here's two more you can potentially rule out. at least the tfi is something easy to check out or possibly rule out.

    Idle Problems.. new thread for problems

    i'm by no means an electrical expert and know what i know through trial and error like most. i know its a solid state electrical component but i don't know if there's a test for it. call an auto parts store to see if they can. i'd say borrow a friends whose car runs fine. its that flat thing...

    Idle Problems.. new thread for problems

    just a shot in the dark but have you replaced your tfi module on the distributor? it causes stumbling and richness since the ignition isn't working properly. although in my case, i think it barely ran BETTER after sitting because the fuel had time to dry before becoming saturated again causing...

    Need Help Quick w/ Quadrant Install

    that was a damn good analogy! seems common with all quadrants and if it were a serious issue, something better would've been devised a long time ago. just my logic tho. :nice:

    AOD <VS> 5 speed

    i had an auto in my first stang and 5 speeds in my last three! so i'm leaning on 5 speed. if i were a dedicated racer, probably an auto but def a 5 speed on the street. ON THE OTHER HAND, when i evacuated from new orleans to pensacola for katrina which is a 3ish hour drive turned into 12 HOURS...
