    Need to fix drivetrain slop.

    ^^^^ The car is not having issues at idle, off-idle or any rpm at any throttle position while the car is at a stand-still. I don't think that this problem is from a faulty tune or setting. I honestly believe it is due to "things" moving around too much. Mike

    Need to fix drivetrain slop.

    ^^^^^ Thank you. The U-joints look good. I might have to start with by replacing the engine mounts and I will take a look at the control bushings. Mike

    Need to fix drivetrain slop.

    I am looking for suggestions regarding fixing my Mustangs drivetrain slop. Essentially, the problem is a forward-to-rear bucking of the powertrain that occurs in first gear at low rpm's. I think it could be due to worn-out engine mounts (I noticed while changing the clutch that the motor moved...

    Roller rockers and valve springs?

    Thanks guys for all the advise. I'm going to purchase the 1.7's, at the moment it makes more sense. Hopefully, I don't change my mind regarding a camshaft any time soon. :) Mike

    Roller rockers and valve springs?

    If I'm planning on running the stock cam and have no immediate desire to purchase an aftermarket camshaft, should I go with the 1.7's? Mike

    Roller rockers and valve springs?

    ^^^^^ I thought that my '86 EFI 5.0 was roller? I'm a newbie, so I could be wrong? I'll be honest, I don't want a surprise when I pull the valve covers. Ninety15.0, I'll give them a call.......Thanks for the help! Mike

    Are the Comp Cams Pro Magnum roller rockers stud mount, pedistal mount or both? I can only seem to find stud mount........Will those bolt to the factory setup? Mike

    Roller rockers and valve springs?

    ^^^^ It sounds like there is not too much work that has to be done to clear the 1.7's. Because of the SD, I'll likely keep the stock cam so the 1.7's will perhaps be the better choice. Thanks guys for the replies! Mike

    Roller rockers and valve springs?

    It makes sense that the design of the rockers have to be a consideration with regards to fitment, even if the ratio is the same. For example, would the Crane 1.6 roller rocker clear the factory valve cover? Will the Crane 1.7 roller rocker clear the factory valve cover (I would purchase the...

    Roller rockers and valve springs?

    ^^^^^ I know the factory rockers are 1.6, however, I don't think they are roller rockers. I would upgrade to the 1.7's, but I don't want to use taller/aftermarket valve covers. Mike

    Roller rockers and valve springs?

    I'm looking to add some roller rockers and valve springs to my aging factory valvetrain. Will 1.6 roller rockers clear the stock valve covers without modification? Which brands of roller rockers are bolt-on, requiring no addition modifications to install? Which aftermarket springs will work...

    what's the deal? 50 Resto

    We are! And I say congratulations on the discount. I'm surprised that they gave you one for an order of that size. However, I'm glad they did because I might try the same attempt next time I make a purchase from them. Mike

    what's the deal? 50 Resto

    ^^^^^^ No. There is no volume in $3K. If you were to buy $10-20K worth of parts it could be enough for them to consider a discount for a one time purchase. I would continue to do business with the other companies that will give you discounts. I would think that 50Resto has many...

    which head to go with KB blower...?

    Contact KB regarding meth injection. I have read that they don't recommend someone using methanol with their superchagers because possible damage to the screws. However, this might be claimed to reduce warranty claims on their superchargers. I used meth injection on my Magnuson "roots"...

    which head to go with KB blower...?

    Yes, the GT40 lower works with the KB, but you have to specify it when ordering. Dyno test have proven it to be worth 10 rwhp combined with the supercharger. Mike
