    cam timing

    That's a question with a lot of variables which affect the outcome. If you know where you want your cylinder psi to be... then I suggest you move the cam fwd or rev to attain your optimal pressures. On degreeing your cam, you'll know how much you need to advance due to chain slack, distance...

    cam timing

    I think you should call TFS and ask what's already designed into the cam before messing with it. For example... if TFS already designed 4* adv into it and you go another 4*... I'd think you'd be going backwards as far as performance and may even put too much cylinder psi into your combo...

    Build Question: N/A big power

    My bad. I assumed when you said "big power" you were talking about greater than 600hp from a 418 sbf. For your own research, find who makes 600hp or more with what cylinder heads on what cubic inch N/A.

    Build Question: N/A big power

    Hmmmmmmm, you got me thinking. I can imagine the 190cc Fast as Cast TW and the 225cc Highports outperforming 225cc AFRs. If you're going to put good money on cylinder heads, you need "great" cylinder heads... not just "good". In your application, out of the box cylinder heads aren't...

    Build Question: N/A big power

    What 205cc heads? TW or Highports, then yes... big power. Valve clearance is more to do with the events and not the deck, whether it be piston to deck or free drop. When you say "big power" I assume you're meaning appx 650hp N/A... looking for more, you'll need to rethink your cylinder heads.

    Engine rebuild question

    With a stock block... a forged crank is a little overkill, but as my camshaft maker always asks; "can you ever build an engine too good?". I suggest you look into buying lightweight Probe rods and pistons for your build. a Probe cast crank with a 28oz imbalance and an aluminum flywheel (if...

    Fox body roll cage question

    Sheetmetal doublers and weld to the frame is always the best and will pass any tech. It's best to weld the tubes to doublers both vertically and horizontally so you have 3 axis rigidity. If you go to any website with pictures showing the fabrication and installation of a rollcage you'll see...

    Engine rebuild question

    It's in the compression height of the piston. What changes is the distance from the centerline of the pin to the top of the piston. With more stroke and longer rod, you need less CH. You're good to go with a 331 setup. A 347ci setup depending on which route you go will put the pin in the oil...

    Do the NT555RII's run narrow like the NT555R's?

    I would think you'd want to run NT01 instead?

    ? about 31 spline axels

    Yes, or at least the two ends of the assembly. Going to a posi is suggested "if" there was a reason to need 31 splines in the first place.

    pulled engine apart

    Hard Blok brand is one type. Moroso also makes a 2part filler. Absolutely need a "good" to "great" machine shop. Finding one is the difficult task.

    pulled engine apart

    I suggest you have that block "sonic checked". Doing this will give you information on how much wall is left, and how symmetrical it is 360* for each cylinder. Offset grinding the crank will include cleaning up your mains and offset grinding your rod journals. Probe makes nice pieces at...

    Pro Comp roller rockers. You want to read this

    I don't understand why instructions are needed to install roller rockers???

    are stronger mounting brackets for rear coil over kits necessary?

    Ford engineers designed those brackets to support the shock and the loads the shock endures, not the whole unsprung weight of the rear half of the car. I also have mine off and they do appear to be .120" plate and maybe strong enough to hold the weight of your unsprung rear... but at the minor...

    trick flow fast as cast 190cc head

    You have my PM. An issue I see with your setup and "fast as cast" is your intake. You will need a much better setup, as the gt40 might turn out to be the choke point. The people I know who have the information to give, also will help you install the right parts to compliment your combo.

    lifting rear tire

    If this is on the car/chassis in your avatar, your rear lower control arm @ ride height was near 0* or flat level, while your uppers @ ride height had some nose down angle... enough to create your instant center ON an imaginary line drawn from your front upper ball joint to the bottom of your...

    lifting rear tire

    Okay... I see what you're saying. If you take a piece of string and go from the bolt at the rear to the front attaching bolt and hang an inclinometer to it... you'll know exactly what angle you have. 1" down angle, that is why you're losing traction. You will have to find a way to decrease...

    lifting rear tire

    When both upper and lower control arms are pointed down (looking from the rear), that is bad and promotes squat. When you're hard in a corner and accelerating you're actuall pulling the rear suspension up into the chassis and the chassis appears to be dropping onto the rear tires. When the...

    I'll bet if you called MM, you'd get some pretty good information from them also.
