    dash help

    Hey all, just removed my dashboard completely as I am changing to a black interior and trying to fix someones hackjob to the dash, many holes, to many guages etc etc. Anyway it is worse than I thought, I cannot believe how many bad splices of wires and careless work was done. I need a scematic...

    New Motor

    For 1000 I would have a chance at a tremec, anyone use the tremec 3550 in their foxbody? how is it?

    New Motor

    yep you guys are right, they are windsor juniors, I can afford the 351 and the parts needed for the swap, but then I have a problem transmission wise. my t-5 still works fine, but I don't think it would last long behind a 351, I prefer stick, so I guess that would mean tremec, maybe a 3550...

    New Motor

    Hey all, thought I would share my plan for this 88 GT and see if more experienced people could chip in and maybe set me straight. 1)my motor needs redone 2)I'm poor, so I can't order a dss 347 3)I can afford a 351 from faster 50s(like 900 shortblock), but I can't afford that and a...

    Machine costs

    Just curious, what are you guys paying for machining...like take a stock shortblock in to a machine shop, have it cleaned up, bored as needed, turn crank, install main, rod, cam bearings, new rings, basically refresh the shortblock...was quoted 1150 and thought that seemed high...

    new heads?

    Hey all, I have been offered a new set of victor junior iron heads with a new set of 1.7 roller rockers for 700 dollars. I have seen them and they are all new in box still. Good deal? Should these play nice with an E303, bbk throttle body, C&L 73mm mass air, and 24 lb injectors? Don't want...

    what heads?

    How can I tell what heads are on my motor? Do I need to pull the heads off to tell? Only marks on the heads I could see after pulling valve covers is a little circle with a line through it, then 9 K 1 2, then another little circle/line deal. Any ideas anyone?

    couple small issues left

    Cylinder balance test, not really familiar with that one, as far as the wires, counter-clockwise from #1 firing order -13726548, they are msd wires, the kit where you have to make them yourself. I suppose I could try to test them too and see if maybe I messed one up. Anyone know if I will...

    Another update, it is running(yay), but it runs like ****(%$%^). Broke down and bought a timing light, and have it set at 13 degress BTDC. So far I've done the KOEO test and got 11 11 11 11, which I believe is the code for "no codes" please correct me if I'm wrong. Tore it apart again today...

    couple small issues left

    Well, it was a speed density car until recently, course it ran poorly, it was still quite fast. I was hoping by actually utilizing all of the performance parts on the car via mass air, it would run better, idle, and maybe be a bit faster. It is possible I will need a tune, not sure how an A9P...

    couple small issues left

    Yep, plus the car runs now, granted I'm not thrilled by how its running, but I do not think it would run at all if I had it 180 off. I drove it around the block, no misfires. Just doesn't sound/feel right like I said earlier, I'm sure it needs abit more timing adjustment.

    couple small issues left

    Thanks again for the help, currently my #1 plug wire runs to the cap but at @12:00, the diagram in the link you gave me shows it at @1:00, does that means I'm that far off in my timing?

    couple small issues left

    Thanks for the reply, my whole ignition system is aftermarket(car came that way) with an msd 6al and motorcraft dist. msd cap/rotor and wires, where would the spout be located? I broke down and bought a timing light today and an inexpensive code reader, I'm sure after replacing the intake, all...

    couple small issues left

    A little progress, I have it started but I suspect the timing is still off abit, due to the aftermarket fuel rails, the amount I can turn the distributor is very limited, maybe 2 inches from the thermostat housing to the drivers side fuel rail. I attached the alternator pigtail to the block...

    couple small issues left

    Hi all, my 1988 GT is almost running again, just a couple little things to figure out. First I do not know which alternator I have but I suspect it is a 3g, there is a little wire pigtail coming off the bottom passengers side that appears homeless, this makes me worry, there is a largish...

    Which Transmission with Crate Engine?

    How about a 351 and the tremec you want, built right a 351 can safely put out nice nice hp and the tremec will handle it. BTW the cobra clutch in my 1988 holds the power fine, but it sure isn't fun in stop/go traffic...

    cobra intake

    Um, maybe I missed it but while there is nice info there, I'm asking about a upper intake, not a lower.
