    Which block casting number to get?

    Anyone know what vehicles they actually came in, from what years? Might find something at a junkyard still in the vehicle, with the owner still thinking that its just your typical 302.

    Which block casting number to get?

    Yes I was thinking that the girdle was a good idea. Have you seen that trick that people do where they run some new 1/4" (or maybe it was 1/8") tubing underneath the lower intake manifold to help oil the front of the motor? Would you say that is necessary? Some people say the they need a little...

    Which block casting number to get?

    Yeah that's a nice upgrade. Anyone know about my linked bar lifter question? Has to be robbing power...

    Suspension Which Isolators?

    Yeah I was counting on having to correct the speedo. I'm not one to sacrifice any tire height/ride comfort. These things ride rough enough as it is being muscle cars, they don't need any help getting rougher.

    Which block casting number to get?

    Alright well thanks for the replies. Might as well ask another question then. Doesn't having linked bar lifters cost you some power? It just seems to me like that much more moving mass, would have to cost some power somewhere...

    Which block casting number to get?

    So basically, from beginning to end, the 302 block didn't change much? Save for the roller aspect, I mean.

    Which block casting number to get?

    I'm about to start my first engine build for my 94 GT. And I had some questions as to which junkyard block I should be looking for. From what I've read there seems to be several different 302 blocks over the years, with several different numbers and sets of attributes. I want to build a 306...

    Suspension Which Isolators?

    I agree. But once you put on 18's you gain an inch over the factory 17's so that is something to consider. Which I'm planning on doing. So even if I lowered the car 2.4", with the new wheels, that would only really be 1.4" cause I'm not going to sacrifice any tire height. I won't do that heh.

    Suspension Which Isolators?

    The way that they did it, and why they did it are two totally different discussions. Will I replace the restrictive factory headers with better ones because I don't like the way ford went about it? Yes. Should I remove (and not replace) parts that they put in place for a reason? Thats different...

    Suspension Which Isolators?

    Read the OP, I wasn't asking about a mod. I was asking which isolators. If you can't answer the questions, then why bother coming in here an replying? :shrug:

    Suspension Which Isolators?

    Seems like ford wouldn't have wasted all the money they spent over the years putting isolators in their cars unless it was necessary. Won't the spring make some kind of popping noise or something? Seems like that little bit of rubber might actually do something, such as adding a little stiffness...

    Suspension Which Isolators?

    I'm getting some new springs but they don't come with new isolators for my 94. The stock ones are probly getting wore by now so I thought I'd get some new ones. There are some seem pretty expensive, others are dirt cheap. Does it even matter? Are there good ones and bad ones like with many other...

    Best set of aftermarket street heads for a 94?

    Yeah I knew port matching was cheap so I figured I'd do it. But what are the power gains from having it port matched? Are they even worth the $65? If it was even 5-10 actual real world HP, I'd be all over it. Hell I'd be all over it for 3 HP. Cause all those little 2Hp here, 4 Hp there starts to...

    How much power do you think I could make...

    How can you tell exactly what gears your car has in the rear end? Isn't there supposed to be like a sticker in the doorjamb or in the glovebox or something?

    Best set of aftermarket street heads for a 94?

    Would it be worth port matching everything first? And when you say 350HP, you mean 350 RWHP right?

    White light halogen bulbs?

    Well, they are slightly brighter than just a typical bulb, but I wouldn't say that they are a lot brighter. And the light seems white rather than yellow. Worth the money, but if you are looking for something significantly brighter than stock, I would say that you need to get the same thing but...

    White light halogen bulbs?

    Thanks, I bought some. I'll let everyone know how they turned out, in this thread. In case anyone else is looking for that white light look.

    White light halogen bulbs?

    Thank you. I just remember there used to be some bulbs that put out a very white light, but they were not HID's. Never could find them though.

    White light halogen bulbs?

    I was wondering if anyone can tell me if they make the typical halogen headlight bulb, in that cool looking white color. Not the blue that hurts everyone's eyes, but I seem to remember there being another color that some people use. The light that comes out is white instead of the typical...
