    budget build

    Well if it was me and I wanted to find out how the engine was doing I would do a vacuum and compression check. On a stock engine with no mods a healthy engine should have at steady idle 800-1200 rpm, gauge steady its reading should be 17-22. I had on my 95 gt with 105,000 mile my vacuum gauge...

    It is connects to the water pump with a small L-shape hose. Your thermostat housing should have the 90 degree bend for the radiator hose, if you use that one you made run into issues with the radiator hose coming in contact with the serpentine belt.

    How often do valve cover gaskets go bad?

    I have used these valve cover gaskets and never had a leak, and you can use then over and over. So far I've have used the same set of gaskets 5 times and still no leaks. One of the best ways to fix a stripped bolt hole is with a helicoil kit. Also when the intake manifold goes through one heat...

    Thrust Bearing gone

    Well put the car up on jack stands last Saturday so I could drain the oil pan and when I pulled the plug the magnet at the end had metal slivers on it.

    How are you makng your 94/95 331 stroker run right

    You are right about the pcm not being able to read the fuel pressure, it's the MAF meter that sends a signal to the pcm based on airflow and set the A/F ratio along with info from the 02 sensors.
